I do programming and some other stuff in a steady, inspiration induced rotation. Lots of C++, dabbling with anything else. Currently working on media servers.
I have approximate knowledge of many things, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
He/him.
@UmWerker I had a similar feeling when starting out programming. I knew Python, I knew what the standard library did, but had no idea how that translated into doing any of the things I wanted to do.
What eventually helped me was a bunch of fumbling around until I understood enough to form a picture, but that's not very efficient. A faster solution for this would be to learn how to decompose the problem into smaller pieces. Now there's a blob of unknown unknowns in your head. Start smaller.
I'm looking into hotreloading C++ code on Linux. I've done the easy bit of loading the dynamic module manually, separating the data and reloading with SIGUSR.
Also, stopping the dependencies of said module getting unloaded.
But where to next?
An incredibly large portion of my life is artists coming to me asking for help with git, and I'm like ah! Something in my home territory! And then it turns out they're using Github Desktop or some kind of GUI and I can't actually help them because I only know how to use the command line and the GUI is subtly conceptually different
@gmoretti @ChuckMcManis Heyy this is good info, thanks!
@ChuckMcManis I'm marking the magnetic loop antenna as a compact option though. Thanks!
@ChuckMcManis I don't know either! I know coaxial-through-the-window isn't a doable thing at least. I think a local club might have some coercion material for setting up an antenna, so I might have to contact them (and fetch the material) to better understand the local limitations.
@jeffluszcz That sounds like a good test approach as well. Thanks!
@DK4HAA Yes! Definitely, with or without the home station.
@maddiefuzz There are tall (relatively!) rocky hills nearby with good line of sight that I could easily use. Ocean beaches are also not that far, so moving around is definitely an option I want to explore even if I do get an apartment station setup.
@DJ5CW Ooh that is gorgeous!
I have a balcony and a decent amount of open space between the buildings nearby, on the floor. So now I think it might be just fine. Thanks a lot!
@quantensalat Yup! The top floor as well.
Anyone have any tips and/or resources for starting and doing #hamradio when living in an apartment? Especially Europe. Finland.
For what I can see the options are limited and it might be easier to just go with a mobile setup, but I'm not quite sure where to even begin finding this stuff out.
No license yet, but working on it!
@FediTips If an account is moved, and the old account is tagged by someone else, does the new account get a mention/ping/notification about it?
I don't have good examples (that's why I need the guide), but I'm thinking stuff like Pixel phones (good longevity), ThinkPads etc.
I need tech reviews/tips – not for the latest stuff – but for what you could find used and secondhand, or from discounts to get them off the shelves. Previous years reviews do half of the job, but they can't compare to the current day and would miss good midgrade and opportunities.
In addition, options which you could find broken and could still fix.
@avoca I actually tested this and you were right, I was surprised, it works fine!
I assume – despite the error message they gave about custom OS – they only checked the unlock status.
Thanks for the help earlier!
@red I found that joining the engine dev chat was a lot more helpful when it came to the more advanced and/or closer to engine stuff. At least some time ago, before Godot Foundation -time. Don't know if it's changed but I'd give it a try if you haven't yet.
I did just setup `x-terminal-emulator` as a custom shortcut but I feel slightly offended that there isn't one by default.. I think. Still working on navigating this thing.
@avoca
Thanks, I checked the list, but it's not there! A few months ago I tested it on Lineage and my banking app seems to refuse to work if it detects a custom rom.
It's about the app developers choice really. If they wish, they can check through SafetyNet if the OS installed is a Google licensed product (and what the product is). LineageOS and GrapheneOS both report themselves faithfully. If the app then refuses to work based on this info, it's the apps prerogative.
