One Of The Rust Linux Kernel Maintainers Steps Down - Cites "Nontechnical Nonsense"
  • Well, I've been a C/C++ dev for half of my career, I didn't find Rust syntax ugly. Some things are better than others, but not a major departure from C/C++. ObjC is where ugly is at. And I even think swift is more ugly. In fact, I can't find too many that are as close to C/C++ as Rust. As for logic.... Well, I want to say you'll get used to it, but for some things, it's not true. Rust is a struggle. Whether it's worth it, is your choice. I personally would take it over C++ any day.

  • Zero G Mercury CoreXY conversion for Ender5
  • In 2024? No, unless it's a plus. Plus already has that support. E5 has an 8 bit board and no silent drivers. If I'd be buying today,I'd buy sovol sv08. It has everything already done to it while being open source and is able to be modded out of the box.

  • Zero G Mercury CoreXY conversion for Ender5
  • Oh, yes, it caused weird resonant vibrations at certain speeds. A terrible design and way too flexible bed. Some people print some struts, but I didn't find them to be much of a solution. I ended up mirroring the far side and copying it to front. Now it's very rigid and the quality has vastly improved especially at speed printing.

  • Zero G Mercury CoreXY conversion for Ender5
  • I did it and I'm very satisfied with the result. Though I went full diy and ordered parts individually. I did all of the printed parts from recycled PET from bottles which I recycled myself. The rest I ordered from aliexpress. I have a previous version, didn't get around to update. I made an adaptor for herome gen 6 hotend holder and made it with mostly stock e3d v6 hotend. I just added a cht nozzle. Don't need anything else. But the best mod IMO is the dual z axis which I recommend even without mercury conversion.

    Edit: I did it on ender 5, have no clue what's the difference on other printers.

  • Buying advice for desktop amp
  • Update: I bought a b-stock Nux Mighty Space and it's been working great! Just what I needed. That being said, some things I'm using more than others. Things I use:

    • USB interface as a speaker for my PC. Speakers in my monitor are just trash. This is way better. It's not stereo HiFi, but I have dedicated speakers for that.

    • Wireless dongle. So convenient and makes me play more than before. A bonus is you can also have a different guitar plugged inat the same time. Not super important, but still.

    • App is decent and there's an open source alternative, making sure the amp is supported for many years.

    • it's nice that it is just a basic Bluetooth speaker when you connect to it. Haven't used it that much, but I can see it coming in handy every once in a while.

    Things I haven't used:

    • Looper - not used to it that much

    • drum loops - seem basic and kind of crappy

    • tinkering - I'm fairly satisfied with the presets out of the box, so I haven't found the need to tinker too much. Perhaps occasionally gain and eq.

    Things that bother me a bit:

    • All the presets are too bass-heavy. There's a global eq that can be tweaked. This bothers me on so many audio devices lately. More bass is NOT always more better. I dialed it in, but cmon. I'm not 12. The guitar is never supposed to be that boomy.

    That's it, any questions, just shoot.

    Just got my first guitar and IMMEDIATELY broke it :(
  • I don't know where you got that, but the difference is marginal at best. The quantity of glue used is very small, if used correctly, in both cases. The amount of finish is at least an order of magnitude more and affects the sound dampening significantly more. And I don't see companies stating how many layers they put on. Not to mention pore fillers and other stuff.

  • Tried it today, didn't expect much, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at the speed and look and feel. I will give it a try for a while to see if I will switch from vscode permanently.

  • Qualcomm Aiming For Snapdragon X Elite GPU Support In Linux 6.11
  • From my small experience with Qualcomm in the past, I'm not too hopeful. In a company I used to work for, we wanted to use one of their SoC with Linux, which they claimed they supported. It was many years ago. But was full of closed binary blobs which even when signing NDAs, we couldn't get the source for. We're talking user-space drivers, sensors offloaded to a separate core with closed source firmware etc. It's Linux, but it's not Linux in spirit, it feels so closed and proprietary and secretive. They're coming from Android, which google architecturally enabled vendors to close their drivers by utilizing HAL. It's the single most significant blow to Linux by any corporation so far. It enabled thousands of vendors to close their shitty driver in user-space and not maintain it for newer kernels (kernel driver is just an IO proxy for user-space drivers). I get that without it, there wouldn't be Android phones we have today, but I expected them to slowly open up. 10+ years later, almost nothing changed, in fact - things seem worse to me.

  • Doorbell kamera solution

    Hi, anyone have any good self hosted solution for a doorbell camera? What I need is to have the option to look at who is at the door and be able to actuate a lock (relay operated). I have a cheap Chinese brand solution, but it uses an unknown cloud solution and is very unreliable. A phone app would be fine, but if there's a standalone tablet, that's even better.

    Teslas can still be stolen with a cheap radio hack despite new keyless tech
  • How about just having a button on a fob/phone which initiates comms, like in the good old days. You can't relay the signal if there isn't one till you press the button. But that isn't sexy and it's too similar to traditional cars, so they won't do it.

  • Home Assistant 2024.5: Just a little bit smaller
  • Any PC that has virtualization features can be used. Unless it's very old, I'd say it's supported. But it may not be enabled in the bios by default. It's called VT-x for Intel and AMD-v for AMD, I think. But both are supported for at least 10 years on almost any PC.

  • Home Assistant 2024.5: Just a little bit smaller
  • It's a hypervisor level virtual machine host and you can use it to install multiple os's on the same machine with little overhead. I've been running haos like that for a few months now and I'm super satisfied.

  • Buying advice for desktop amp

    Hi! I hope you don't mind giving some advice on buying a desktop amp. I'm talking basically about those amp sims with full range mini-speakers. I've been playing for years, but I've been using amp sims. I've previously owned tube amps, but found them inconvenient for practicing and always ended up playing unplugged. I also tried vox amPlug, which was better, but I also dislike having headphones on while playing. So I primarily want a desktop amp that would inspire me to play more.

    I've looked at various ones online (I don't really have an opportunity to try them live), which makes a decision very hard.

    My list so far:

    • Yamaha THR30
    • Positive Grid Spark 40
    • Hotone Pulze
    • Nux mighty space

    I also don't have great PC speakers, so maybe I could also use it as general speaker there. Do you have experience on any of those? Some others? Any advice?

    Thanks!

    Edit:

    Ordered a Nux Mighty Space, it could take a week or two before it arrives. I'll post an update once I get it. Thanks everyone!

    Camera suggestions

    Any recommendations for good open protocol cameras? I heard about Reolink cameras, are they ok? I need them to be Ethernet and be able to stream with RTP/RTSP and expose some sort of API for control/monitoring. And not depend on cloud, if possible. Thanks.

    Preference for sorting not saved

    Every time I turn on the app, it switches back to local/active, whereas I would like subscribed/hot. It doesn't seem to remember my setting, is this by design or a missing feature?
