made a full cover of the computer virus #salinewin, too long to post here, so hosting it for the meantime on https://gobbe.neocities.org/saline

#hp #compaq #windows
it says in system info that the model is
"hp compaq 4000 pro small form factor pc", or that's at least what hp says it is, but I can't find any "ethernet controller" drivers there (https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/closure/hp-compaq-4000-pro-small-form-factor-pc/5037888), and device specs say it can do ethernet

also visited some support page where some guy asked for help regarding this exact issue, but the "solution" was just a dead link :(

would greatly appreciate any help, otherwise just a lil rant abt windows bad longevity n stuffs :P

#windows
trying to restore an old windows 7 work computer but despite my many efforts it keeps refusing to connect to the internet. Says it doesn't have any "ethernet controller" drivers, but all those drivers say that they aren't compatible (even though they should be).
Have tried sharing wifi through usb, but even though it says it's connected, just can't reach anything. Doing ping through terminal just times out
Just wanna set up a simple mc server on it, so it rlly needs internet access :/

#gobbe #blender #retro
Made a first render of the windmill model from earlier. Gotta work on some better scenery though, some grass or wheat would be a nice addition. Stay tuned :P

#retro #blender #gamedev
made this windmill for a game :P

#cargame #avian3d #rustlang
So what I'm trying to do here is to get the velocity at the different positions of the tires.
" rb.velocity_at_point(tire.translation); "
To do that you need to query for a rigidbody to read from, but only
" RigidBodyQueryItem " implements that funcion, all others just have
" rb.linear_velocity " (yes I do now see that I could theoretically calculate that function myself). But the other ways to fetch this rigidbody (in the update schedule) still throw this error \:

#bevy #avian3d #rustlang #cargame
Trying to query an avian3d rigidbody so I can find out the speed at the car tires' positions.
But turns out this line
```
rb : RigidBodyQueryItem
```
Inside the parameter of a function running on "update" Throws a very unhelpfull error message
"
error[E0277]: `fn(Res<'a, Time>, Query<'b, 'c, &mut Transform, With<Player>>, ..., ..., ..., ..., ...) {bil}` does not describe a valid system configuration
--> src/main.rs:9:26
.add_systems(Update, bil)
...
"

#bevy #avian3d #rustlang
Apperently there is like no actual documentation on how to add a force at runtime with avian3d. They just spawn the rigidbody with a ExternalForce::default() component.
In some obscure blog post they did just this, but fetched this force component with
" mut force : Query <&mut ExternalForce> "
Then they just add forces like normal with that force variable.
Thought that you needed to create a force with ExternalForce::default() and then apply it somehow. Silly me :P

#bevy #nixos #kate #rustlang
Just expanding a bit on the post above.
To be clear, the LSP Server Warning "Failed to run build scripts of some packages" still occurs. Yet despite this I believe it is of no concern, as cargo build/run works as expected.

#bevy #nixos #rustlang #kate
Here's the bevy rust nixos devshell that worked for me, if you're interested d:

```shell.nix
// stuff before buildinputs
buildInputs = [
cargo rustc rustfmt pre-commit rustPackages.clippy
udev alsa-lib vulkan-loader libudev-zero pkg-config
xorg.libX11 xorg.libXcursor xorg.libXi xorg.libXrandr # To use the x11 feature
libxkbcommon wayland # To use the wayland feature
];
//stuff after buildinputs
```

#kate #rustlang #lsp #nixos
Solved it !
Added a bunch of packages to my nix devshell ( including clippy itself ), but I think adding libudev-zero fixed it.
Why ?
I had tried starting a code analysis from the "code analysis" tab in kate, with the "Clippy (Rust)" option. Got a really long error that in short said that it needed libudev so I added it, and that fixed it.
Cargo now works like expected and only builds what's changed (instead of all of the packages I've installed on top of rust) :P

#kate #rustlang #bevy
Just wanna expand a bit on this post.
Yes for some reason running cargo run (and waiting for it to run) and then running it again (without changing anything) throws the error again. But instead of just launching what's already compliled, it goes ahead to build it all again. :P

#kate #rustlang #bevy
Keep getting warning "[23:35:27  LSP Server Warning] rust@/home/gobbe/dev/RUST/bilen
Failed to run build scripts of some packages."
Don't really know what it means, but I can tell that when building my bevy app all bevy crates are rebuilt (despite already having been built before). So rn I have miserable milti-minute long build times :(

Unsure if they are in any way related but I have a feeling it might be why cargo rebuilds all crates.

Ima update if I find out why :P

#kde #kdeplasma #bobLoad
Just built a splash screen for KDE plasma 6 ! Made this animation originally for a game jam, but we never actually added it into the game, just revamped the colours to fit a better palette and bam. So much better :P
made a page for it too https://gobbe.neocities.org/bob .'q

#kate #rustlang #nixos
UPDATE : I found a way out THANK YOU SO MUCH @endospore !!!
Adding rust-analyzer FULLY FIXED IT :P

I had tried `rustup component add rls rust-analysis rust-src` before but I thought the "error: Unknown binary 'rust-analyzer' in official toolchain 'stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" was that I already had added rust-analyzer but because (I'm on nixos) it didn't have the right path. I did have the rust-analyzer nix package, but the kate lsp client couldn't seem to find it.

#kde #kate #rustlang #kdeblog
"That's it for today! I still have a bunch of improvements to the plugin planned, so stay tuned for future updates.", the blog post this quote is taken from (https://blogs.kde.org/2015/05/22/updates-kates-rust-plugin-syntax-highlighting-and-rust-source-mime-type/) is now ten years old and I've scoured all related blog forums but no blog post relating to it has come yet, and the guy stopped posting in 2020 :P

#kde #kate #rustlang
Trying to get rust autocomplete with kate.
Found a 10-year old blog post (https://blogs.kde.org/2015/05/22/updates-kates-rust-plugin-syntax-highlighting-and-rust-source-mime-type/), that talks about having added rust syntax and autocomplete to kate (along with "go to definition"). Little in the article remains, checked source code but no addons/rustcompletion.
Tried using the lsp-server approach:
"error: Unknown binary 'rust-analyzer' in official toolchain 'stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu"
no clue how to go on from this tbh
Ima update if I find a way out

#kde #kmail #akonadi
Finally got Kmail working (:
When you add an account you get an initial popup (on first install), so you can hook your account into Kmail. But if you fuck that up somehow (me) and don't check the "can edit, delete and send messages" box, then you just can't do shit. Tried almost everything (including nuking the app and the hook) but it still kept that faulty hook.
How'd I get it working then?
Just delete everything under LibKGAPI inside KdeWallet. Took a day to figure out :P
