What should I learn next? in c/technology@lemmy.ml
[–] 3 points 1 week ago

It depends on your goal. Considering that you seem to be on a web development path, perhaps the next step could be a frameworks such as React or Angular (my preference: React).

You might also want to look into TypeScript. It should be relatively easy to learn if you already know JavaScript, considering that TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript.

Obviously you also need to at least understand CSS, but that will come with time. I would say there is no hurry.

    I would like to apply the same mod repair to my air fryer.

    Do you think it might make sense to add a small resistor instead of removing it entirely? What could be a good value?

    Copy / Paste complexity in c/programming@lemmy.ml

    They implemented the workaround on all of their web apps, probably poorly tested. But it does make sense after all. It is annoying but it works everywhere. We Firefox users are a minority, and they have little incentive to spend resources on us.

    Anyways, imho this issue in particular should be fixed by Mozilla. Microsoft can implement workarounds, but I think the real solution is implementing JavaScript clipboard access API. Firefox can show the usual "This website is trying to access your clipboard. [Allow] [Reject] [Always reject]" message, and I would say that would be safe enough.

    Aurora Store Server is busy in c/degoogle@lemmy.ml

    Same issue for me. My workaround is to remove the anonymous account and let Aurora Store fetch another one. It might take two or three attempts before you get one that works.

    Qwen 3.8 27B at 50 tok/s with 100k Context on a 16GB GPU in c/technology@lemmy.ml
    [–] 1 point 2 months ago (1 child)

    Hi, thanks for posting this guide!

    I tried it on a modern laptop with 32GB of unified memory. It starts at 40 tok/s when loading the context, but the output drops to 3 tok/s.

    Could I ask you which GPU you are using for these tests? What context size would a 16GB GPU give?

    radio operator in c/cat@lemmy.world
    [–] 4 points 2 months ago*

    Well, that's a pretty amazing result, especially for that price. Cat must be very proud of you!

    And thanks for listing the components, I wasn't aware of the HT-RA62. Prices for LoRa modules have come down a lot since last time I checked!

    Smart cat with a bright future in the engineering field!

    What do you mean by DIY LoRa transceiver? Do you mean just the enclosure or also the hardware?

    [Solved] SMD Component Identification (lemmy.ml)
     

    Hi! I recently purchased a nice gadget from AliExpress, this should be the circuit to drive an ultrasonic piezo. Silly me, I put the batteries backwards and the U1 component on the bottom left blew up.

    I know a bit about circuits so I reverse engineered it (there might be mistakes), but I am not skilled enough to identify the component in order to look for a replacement. Can someone help me identify it? I can read ___22 on it.

    Here's another version of the schematic, which might be easier to understand.

    Schematic

    Thank you for your help!

    EDIT: I couldn't identify the component, but I did a Google Image Search as suggested by @partial_accumen@lemmy.world and it found similar PCB designs. It very much looks like this component is part of the charging circuit, which I do not particularly care about. I will try desoldering it and see if the rest of the device still works. I will post the outcome here.

    EDIT 2: with a lot of help from @jeinzi@discuss.tchncs.de I managed to fully reverse engineer it and fix most of the mistakes in the schematic. That component was just an FP6291 after all, part of a circuit to step up the 3V from two AA batteries to 5V required by the MCU. I replaced that whole section with a step up module I had previously purchased from AliExpress, and now everything works again.

    Here's the final (mostly accurate, hopefully) revision of the schematic.

    Schematic Revision
    (link)

    Lessons learned:

    • Always double-check battery polarity
    • In the age of AI, Google Image Search can now help identity circuits
    • Sometimes a circuit that looks complex can actually be much simpler in the end
    • AskElectronics@discuss.tchncs.de amazing community on Lemmy

    That was fun! Thank you very much to everyone who contributed to this thread!

    KDE Keyboard in Bazzite, how? (lemmy.ml)
     

    Today Plasma 6.6 was released. Among the new features, they updated KDE's virtual keyboard (link), and I would like to give it a try.

    By default Bazzite uses Steam's virtual keyboard. I remember I could see KDE's OSK (On-Screen Keyboard) icon, but I never managed to launch it from Bazzite, it just didn't open when clicked. Now I can't even find the icon anymore. Also, I could never find any references to it online.

    Is it even possible to do it, or has it been "chiseled away" from the system? Opening KDE's keyboard in desktop mode would be enough for me; enabling it in game mode would be secondary.

    If you know if it is supported in Bazzite and/or how to open it, please share your wisdom. Thanks!

    A curated list of awesome FOSS games (github.com)
     

    I decided to write down a list of complete (no alpha/beta), playable (no proprietary dependencies), FOSS videogames.

    I added all the games I could find online + all of the games that came to my memory.

    Feel free to have a look to see if there's something you didn't know. And please suggest anything I missed, but please do not suggest pre-release or unfinished games.

    Thank you!

    EDIT: thank you very much everyone for the comments and for sharing additional awesome lists of FOSS material. Hopefully one day I will have the time to sift through all these games and pick all the non-pre-release ones which don't have any proprietary dependencies.

    In the meantime, here's a copy of the links:
