How would I go about creating an alternative frontend for a website? in c/programming@programming.dev
[-] g6d3np81@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago

I also have a similar side project planned for a revamp. Successfully made a v1 with grease monkey (vanilla JS) + stylish back in maybe 2016. Super dangerous to keep firefox 56 running only for this front-end. Just need to do the v2 then migrate to latest librewolf.

I want to redo the whole thing in Vue, client side routing with build step. The problem is that

  • site is not open source
  • no API doc (but I already made my own)
  • required log-in (no sensitive info)
  • some route request must be made from that domain due to CORS

My goal is not to change the UI but wipe the whole page and start over with custom API call instead. V1 do this by visiting a 404 route to stop unnecessary load and use my own URL param for the API call. For bonus cringe I used local storage for database.

Ended up having to use userscript, and now I'm kinda stuck with how to mash Vite build and tamper/violent monkey together :(
Do you have any suggestion or resource I can learn more on this?

At which scale (real world day to day life situation) when each extra digit of pi become necessary? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[-] g6d3np81@kbin.social 5 points 10 months ago

Thank you. After thinking about it overnight, I realized I asked a wrong question. Your answer still helps greatly and get me more than half way to satiate my curiosity.
Tolerance grade and example objects that require different grade/minimum pi accuracy is what I was looking for.

TIL there is a closer approximation than 22/7

[-] g6d3np81@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

Thank you, I already skimmed through that article before posting. Maybe I failed to put my question into words properly.

I want examples similar to pool/fence circumference in the article. Along the line of "We're building x, and this is the worst rounding we can go, one fewer digit and it will be off by y"

xkcd: Coordinate Precision but pi (π)?

I tried looking for some answer but found mostly

  • People reciting pi
  • People teaching how to memorize pi
  • How to calculate pi using different formula
  • How many digits NASA uses

Update question to be more specific

In case someone see this later, what is the most advanced object you can build or perform its task, with different length of pi?

0, 3 => you can't make a full circle

1, 3.1 => very wobbly circle

2, 3.14 => perfect hole on a beach

3, 3.142 => ??

4, 3.1416 => ??

5, 3.14159 => ??

Old question below

In practice, the majority of people will never require any extra digit past 3.14. Some engineering may go to 3.1416. And unless you are doing space stuff 3.14159 is probably more than sufficient.

But at which point do a situation require extra digit?
From 3 to 3.1 to 3.14 and so on.

My non-existing rubber duck told me I can just plug these into a graphing calculator. facepalm

y=(2πx−(2·3.14x))

y=abs(2πx−(2·3.142x))

y=abs(2πx−(2·3.1416x))

y=(2πx−(2·3.14159x))

Got adequate answer from @dual_sport_dork and @howrar
Any extra example of big object and its minimum pi approximation still welcome.

Kadokawa Aims to Establish More Wholly-Owned Anime Studios in c/anime@lemmy.ml

I would not place my hope on kadokawa doing anything like that. I don't think they even care about anime industry aside from make money part of it.

Stop using Fandom in c/games@lemmy.world

Misinformation may reduce repeat visit, that part, I have no idea if google take into account when they rank the result. Domain/page age also plays a role. But what about other "problems"? If I try to de-optimize every items on that guide, will it speed up the de-rank as well?

Stop using Fandom in c/games@lemmy.world
[-] g6d3np81@kbin.social 14 points 10 months ago

Regarding SEO, What's stopping maintainers from vandalizing their own fandom page?

It would not be difficult to make a bot to update fandom page with a convincing but slightly wrong info, after a few hundred iterations, it's all useless. Go look at what google recommend and do complete opposite. I'm convinced this will bomb ranking and put whatever wiki they migrated to at the top.

Flac is a low bar for any music player though. I don't know whether itunes support it yet, don't care.

I'm sure Rhythmbox works well for you and that is great. But I also need some niche features which might not be in it.

Mostly conversion and forensic thing.
ape tak tta format, bit compare, audio checksum, mass-tag/batch-tag, replaygain, custom playlist columns, statistic driven field. Don't know what else until I try and find it's missing.

I'm also sure I can get all those and more in different cli tool if I want but getting them in one software is very convenient.

After a quick look, DeaDBeeF might have most of what I want.

  • Sort and group the tracks in any order you wish, using advanced Title Formatting scripting, compatible with Foobar2000

Got the date wrong, last time I tried it was 2018. Lot of new features added since then.

What if I use foobar and will not settle for anything less?
I have not fully moved to linux yet. Last time I tried it through wine back in 2020 it ran like shit. Deadbeef did not have feature parity either. Wonder how good is it now.

There is a trend line of the amount of shit you need to do to get linux to do things you want.
There is a trend line of the amount of shit you need to do to stop windows from doing things you don't want.

Those two lines have crossed quite a while ago.

Is there a way to cap frame rate on UE4 game through ini file? (kbin.social)
submitted 1 year ago by g6d3np81@kbin.social to c/games@lemmy.world
3 comments fedilink

There is this janky early-access game that I try recently and another good one, Everspace 2.

In Everspace 2, I really like how you can force lower frame rate when the game is not in foreground (when alt-tab to another window)

In GameUserSettings.ini under [/Script/ES2.ESGameUserSettings] there is

FpsLimitNoFocus=30
...
bFPSCapEnabled=True
CappedFPS=60

Are these implemented by dev themselves or are they available at engine level on all UE4 games? Is there a way to do this on other games that do not have this in-game config?

External drive encryption question (kbin.social)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by g6d3np81@kbin.social to c/linux@lemmy.ml
22 comments fedilink

How should I do it if I want to...

  • Format external SSD to use with linux
  • Full drive encryption
  • Compatible with windows (temporarily)
  • Preferably do it with KDE GUI

Context: A linux noob. I got a new laptop earlier this year and uses it mainly for tinkering/playing with linux, get competent with it before dropping windows completely on my main desktop. There is a lot of stuff I want to move back and forth between those machines during this learning period.

My idea is to use an external SSD which when I'm done with windows, I can still use it to store work files or any sensitive stuff, so it will need encryption.

Saw a reddit thread saying I still need veracrypt, which I'm totally ok with on windows side but I prefer keeping everything simple on linux side (I only know it can be done without any extra package)

Extra question:
I can possibly store all works and sensitive data on encrypt external and leave root drive unencrypted. In that case, which file system should I use on which drive? Does it matter?

Thank you in advance.
