Hi, I've been running Fedora Silverblue since version 39 and with 41 now releasing I feel like it would be wise to finally upgrade my Toolbx container from 39 to 41 too. I didn't change the container when I upgraded to 40 on the OS. I read a bit online and it seemed like the general opinion was that you shouldn't upgrade containers but rather create a new container with the new version.

How do you manage migrating settings (Codium + Extensions, Toolchains etc.) between containers without having to manually recreate everything?

A shocking amount of microcontroller manufacturers have eclipse based IDEs for their chips. Thought that seems to be going out of style, luckily.

I was actually offered a Bachelor thesis topic by a company to write a test bench for a product in LabView.

From what they told me and my other engineering experience I'd suggest going with an approach similar to what's used with HDLs. For unit tests create test benches in the language itself which call the functions you want to test with a predefined input (e.g. from a file) and then analyse and save the output.

You can extend this to obtaining other information as well, but tbh I'll bet it's still gonna be a pain.

Hope that helps at least a little.

Us Germans are extra thorough. We wish both, breaking neck and leg.

Are you me? This is almost my exact situation. Only difference is that I convinced them to PF2e from The Dark Eye 5 (DSA5).

Runescape/Old school runescape

Been playing since 2009. Sure I've taken breaks, sometimes multiple years, but I always return.

The old saying is true, "You never quit runescape, you just take breaks"

Melvor Idle is a great call. The base game is a solid idle game and there's a load of mods too.

I did a HCCO12B (Hardcore combat only, 12 bank slots only) run when the game first released.

Reinstalled the game yesterday and started another HCCO run using the new mod, it adds some QoL and tweaks.

My only negative about it is that when playing normally, I always feel like there's a perfect/optimal strategy and I should figure it out before playing.

My Harman Kardon pc speakers. They are as old as I am. Here's a pic of the same model I found online.

There are other alternatives too, like invidious. The yewtu.be instance works decently well for me but limits to 720p I think. There is a list of all running instances somewhere on the github iirc. There's other instances that allow full HD, just have a search and you should be able to find one.

Same. At least with Deus Ex I have some hope left. Iirc the studio (Eidos?) was sold by Square Enix and the new owner may have them work on a new Deus Ex.

If you like those kind of games it may also interest you that Dishonored 3 being planned was part of the leaks last week.

DotO is basically a huge DLC for Dishonored 2 and not a main game. It's still great though and has some fantastic lore. It also released in 2017, so a bit early for a spot on this list.

The 180° angle is just a (really weird) way of representing a long, straight, line. The rest of the angles add up to 180°.

 

Hi, I'm an embedded developer and trying to write some python software for a personal project (A bot for an idle game).

One concept I'm struggling with is asynchronous behavior and interrupts on desktop systems. I'm not really finding any good resources. I'm hoping one of you guys can explain this in a way that I get it or provide me some good resources to read.

What I want to do is pretty simple. I want to have a super loop around my software which runs until a condition is met (A specific key is pressed). I'd rather not use polling, requesting an input will block the software and require user input each loop. I've tried reading the keyboard state directly but the packages I used either didn't find my keyboard or required root access.

My preferred attempt would have been to register something like an interrupt handler which is called when a keyboard event is detected. The general suggestion on the internet for interrupts in python is the signal package. This however seems to only be for dealing with exceptions, not general interrupts.

Are interrupts for general events like I/O even a thing on desktops? And if so, how would I go about interacting with them from my code?

Sorry for the late reply, still getting used to lemmy and missed the notification.

I'm probably in the minority but I didn't actually do it to completely de-google. I still have some Google services installed, they are sandboxed and limited to what I actively want though.

My main reason was removing the insane bloat that comes with modern phones. Think Facebook/Google and vendor specific apps being preinstalled without the ability to remove, forced google search bar on the home screen etc.. Now I have a pretty clean, fairly safe, OS which behaves almost exactly like a normal phone.
