Hello everyone!

I won't drag the post out too much since most of the info is already in the title, but I would love to hear some suggestions for some children's books to help me develop comfort with, and vocabulary in Dutch.

In terms of my level with the language, I have been doing some Duolingo for over 3 years, but I really started learning and understanding rules and such a couple months ago when I started online lessons.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: A couple people suggested Annie M.G. Schmidt so I looked at the first book in the Jip en Janneke books, but it seems that its too advanced for my level. I'll need to work my way up to that slowly. In the meantime, any suggestions for books aimed more towards 2-3 year olds? I feel like that would be more my current vocabulary level, and I can work my way up from there. Thanks

Hello everyone, I've had an issue with discord on Arch Linux for a long time, but only now had the time to document the error (had to photograph it with phone and transcribe it).

Its a weird one, buckle up.

At random times, discord crashes which causes my polybar to crash, as well as my sxhkd, which obviously means my computer is practically useless until I hard shutdown using the power button on my case. Whats weird is that sometimes it will go weeks without crashing, and other times it will crash frequently in a short time span (e.g. it crashed a couple times yesterday, and once today).

Here is the error as I photographed it:

And here it is after I manually copied it into a text editor (keep in mind I might have missed a character here or there because of this).

A JavaScript Error occurred in the main process

Uncaught exception:
Error: EROFS: read-only file system, write

	at Logger.processMessage (/opt/discord/resources/app.asar/node_modules/electron-log/src/core/Logger.js:175:11)

Anyone have any idea how I can troubleshoot this?

I also tried checking the following directory but it doesn't exist on my PC:

/opt/discord/resources/app.asar/node_modules/electron-log/src/core/

I only have the file /opt/discord/resources/app.asar So obviously something is going on there that shouldn't be happening.

I've got no idea how to troubleshoot node apps, so would appreciate any help from those of you who have those skills.

Thanks in advance! Please let me know if you need more info or need me to run commands and show you the output, and Ill do so.

Hello everyone!

I would like certain windows to remain in full screen even if another tiled/floating window is opened on the same workspace. I would also like the tiled/floating windows to remain above the full screen window so that they don't disappear if I click on the full screen window.

The primary use case for this is games such as Eve Online, where I use a number of external tools which may or may not spawn new windows over the game window (e.g. the Rift Intel tool, which spawns a new small floating window whenever someone writes in one of the intel channels you set Rift to monitor). I dont want it to exit full screen mode. If a tiled or floating window is opened on the same window then Eve also goes into tiled mode.

Reading up a little about this I came across the concept of layers in bspwm, but I'm not entirely sure if they fit for this use case. Here's an example of what I don't want to happen:

(The Hostile Reported popup window is from Rift and spawns wherever focus is)

Normally I have it be entirely fullscreen. I'd like to be able to interact with these and other popup windows in tiled/floating mode without pulling Eve out of fullscreen.

How can I begin to work on this? Of course if you would like more info please ask and I'll provide it.

Thanks in advance!

[SOLUTION (I think)] I had to add this rule for my Eve client:

bspc rule -a "steam_app_8500" state=fullscreen layer=below border=off focus=on

but also had to add this rule for the Rift Intel tool:

bspc rule -a "dev-nohus-rift-MainKt" state=floating layer=above

I guess this is the way to do it for any set of programs where you want one to keep its fullscreen status but have others above it

NOTE: This also applied the same behaviour to the eve launcher since the way steam proton works both the launcher and the clients have the same WM_CLASS. If anyone knows any way to distinguish them in bspwm please let me know. Here is what I get for each when running xprop:

$ xprop | grep -E 'CLASS|NAME'
_NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "EVE Launcher" WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "EVE Launcher" WM_NAME(STRING) = "EVE Launcher" WM_LOCALE_NAME(STRING) = "en_US.UTF-8" WM_CLASS(STRING) = "steam_app_8500", "steam_app_8500"
# Click on launcher

$ xprop | grep -E 'CLASS|NAME'
_NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "EVE" WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "EVE" WM_NAME(STRING) = "EVE" WM_LOCALE_NAME(STRING) = "en_US.UTF-8" WM_CLASS(STRING) = "steam_app_8500", "steam_app_8500"
# Click on client

Ive tried rewriting the rule as such:

bspc rule -a "steam_app_8500:steam_app_8500:EVE" state=fullscreen layer=below

and also adding a rule for the launcher specifically (before the client rule):

bspc rule -a "steam_app_8500:steam_app_8500:EVE Launcher" state=tiled layer=normal

But the launcher still opens in fullscreen. The client however seems to be fine - it opens in fullscreen on the 'below' layer so when a new window is opened on the same workspace it isn't forced into tiled mode.

Hello everyone :)

I have this in a script which I call from my .zshrc:

#!/bin/zsh

# ~/.bin/check_last_update.sh

GREEN='\033[92m'
YELLOW='\033[93m'
RED='\033[91m'
RESET='\033[0m'

# Check if there are available updates for packages
num_packages_to_update=$(checkupdates | wc -l)

if (( num_packages_to_update >= 0 && num_packages_to_update <= 20 )); then
	echo -e "${GREEN}Available updates: $num_packages_to_update${RESET}" >> /dev/tty
elif (( num_packages_to_update > 20 && num_packages_to_update <= 50 )); then
	echo -e "${YELLOW}Available updates: $num_packages_to_update${RESET}" >> /dev/tty
else
	echo -e "${RED}Available updates: $num_packages_to_update${RESET}" >> /dev/tty
fi

# Kernel version check
running_kernel=$(uname -r)
installed_kernel=$(pacman -Q linux | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d '-' -f1 | cut -d '.' -f1,2,3)

running_kernel_base=$(echo "$running_kernel" | cut -d '-' -f1)

if [[ "$running_kernel_base" != "$installed_kernel" ]];
then
	echo -e "${RED}Kernel mismatch detected. Reboot recommended.${RESET}" >> /dev/tty
fi

It works, but when I open a new terminal it may take up to 2 seconds for the prompt to show up. Is there a way of speeding this up?

Would it be a good idea to perform the checks in the background every hour or so, maybe with a systemd timer or something, and cache the results (or possibly to make it even more efficient, just store a file somewhere out of the way containing the number of updates and if there is a kernel mismatch - maybe on separate lines so when I open a terminal I can easily query the file and get exactly what I need) so that when I open a new terminal instead of checking with the live repositories it checks the cached data? Also, I guess this would mean that if a package has become available for update after the last time the check script runs, then the number it tells me will be less than the actual number of available updates, right?

Thanks in advance!

Hello guys.

I'm trying to learn some more KiCAD and general electronics design from scratch by continuing my thesis project after I've submitted it and its all done, but by taking it to the next step and actually getting a PCB and soldering everything on. This is to get experience through the entire process from design to assembly.

Where I'm stuck is at creating the footprints for my components. I've watched a bunch of videos about the topic, but they all seem to be for boards with no header pins attached to them, or for pins that are vertical (perpendicular to the actual board). The two boards I have are breakout boards for a DS3231 RTC and an HM-10 BLE module, and they both have right-angle male header pins sticking out, which obviously made prototyping on a breadboard really easy, but I'm struggling with converting them to PCB.

Here are some photos to make it clearer:

HM-10:

DS3231:

I know one of my options is to desolder the right-angle header pins and add straight pins to them, but I'd like to avoid that so that I can easily use them in any future projects by simply disconnecting them from the eventual PCB and using them in a breadboard.

As such, I know that I would like there to be female headers on the final PCB, and ideally the female headers will also be at a right-angle so that the final PCB is a little more compact and there aren't just some boards sticking out from it.

So, after getting some measurements with my calipers, how can I translate them into the KiCAD footprint editor knowing the footprint should include the female right-angle header pins (which will of course extend the length of the modules beyond what I have currently measured), and also take their height into account so that they don't have any obstacles between them and the PCB as they are laying parallel to it?

I hope I made myself clear enough, but if not please feel free to ask me for any clarification.

Thanks in advance for any replies :)

Hello guys, my question is basically in the title. I would really like to be able to have the parameter names included when I cursor over a function and open the 'hover' window to show basic info about it. Currently it only shows me the expected types, which while still useful I feel is only a piece of the puzzle when working either with a new library, or a codebase you're not familiar with.

As an example I'm learning ncurses these past couple days, and its significantly flow-breaking to have to switch focus away from the editor to either search on the web what a particular function takes as parameters, or open a separate terminal to read the man page for it. I'm still not familiar with the library so I frequently need to look up what a parameter represents in the context of the code, in addition to what type I should give it. Is there any way to do this while still using clangd as my lsp server?

Ive also included a screenshot of one such hover window for the ncurses function mvprintw.

Hello guys, Ive built a super simple web app to convert google maps urls to the osm format, mainly for my personal use but also for anyone who has this use case as well.

Most link formats work, but there are a couple that have been giving me particular trouble. Here are the formats that work as expected:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Eiffel+Tower/@48.8584,2.2945,17z
https://google.com/maps/place/Statue+of+Liberty/@40.6892,-74.0445,17z
https://maps.app.goo.gl/SoDFgcPJKVPeZXqd8
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Buckingham+Palace/@51.5014,-0.1419,17z
https://www.google.de/maps/place/Brandenburger+Tor/@52.5163,13.3777,17z

These 2 formats dont work on the server, but if I run the app locally they work and give a correct osm formatted link:

https://maps.app.goo.gl/jXqDkM2NWN55kZcd9?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Big+Ben%2C+London

You can test it on the actual website (gmaps2osm.de), but essentially if you try to convert links of this format on the actual website you get an Internal Server Error after around 10 seconds of it thinking.

Right now Im focusing on the .preview.copy formatted links. As you will see from the code below, I am using playwright to headlessly handle googles annoying redirects and consent forms:

from typing import final
from flask import Flask, request, render_template, jsonify
from datetime import datetime

Hello everyone!

As the title says, I am trying to set up email alerts on my server whenever there is a successful ssh connection (will also setup the same for failed connections with fail2ban later). I already have the email script created and it works (I use it to monitor the directories containing all of these security scripts for changes so that I also get notified if anything critical is modified or deleted in those directories).

I also created a very basic user called test for - you guessed it - testing purposes. This user doesn't have a home directory or anything like that.

Here are the relevant scripts:

$ cat /usr/local/bin/login-alert.sh
#!/bin/bash

# Sends alerts only for real terminals not cron jobs
if [[ -n "$SSH_CONNECTION" ]]; then
	USERNAME=$(whoami)
	IP=$(echo $SSH_CONNECTION | awk '{print $1}')
	HOST=$(hostname)
	DATETIME=$(date)
	/usr/local/bin/semail \
		-s "[CRITICAL] SSH Login to $HOST" \
	 	-b "Login detected:\n\nUser: $USERNAME\nIP: $IP\nTime: $DATETIME\nTTY: $SSH_TTY"
fi

$ cat /usr/local/bin/semail
#!/bin/bash

# Default values
TO="my_email@here.com"
FROM="notifications@my_server.com"
SUBJECT=""
BODY=""
BODY_FILE=""


# Help function
show_help() {

# Standard Un*x session setup and teardown.
account optional pam_exec.so seteuid dir=/ /usr/local/bin/login_notify.sh
@include common-session

I also tried with session instead of account and without the dir=/ part.

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this please?

Thanks in advance. Of course if you need any more info I'll do my best to provide it :)

Hello guys! Im using the official minecraft launcher, and decided to give Beta 1.7.3 a try for that nostalgic feeling of playing it for the first time on my grandmother's ancient PC. However, even when full screen I get what you can see in the image above, and I cant find any settings to change the resolution.

Keep in mind, Im on a weird setup. Im on Arch Linux with bspwm and 2 monitors.

If I press F11 while fullscreen it cycles through several modes and eventually gets to one where the game looks right as it should, but unfortunately that disables my second monitor and I need to restart bspwm to get everything as it should be (otherwise it just duplicates the first monitor to the second one).

I read in some forum threads that where might be some java launch arguments that can set the resolution, but Im not sure how to do any of that from the MC launcher.

Any help is appreciated!

Hello everyone (whoever is subbed to this community)! Ive been wanting to get into inline skating for a while now, but just dont have the knowledge of where to start.

Im in Europe, specifically Cyprus (so first-hand buying options are limited) so if I would bite the bullet and order skates online to learn it would be without trying them on first. I do plan on moving to the Netherlands where I know theres an awesome skating shop in Amsterdam, but that could be at any time this month or year (depends on when I find a job).

Up to now I bought some ultra cheap skates on black friday a couple years ago (No Fears I believe they were), which after the second day of practicing in the park had the frame get loose (and it wasnt designed to be able to tighten or fix). That was super disappointing because I was really excited to get into this hobby.

Anyways, what are your thoughts? Should I see what options I have for getting into it while I am still here, or wait until I get to a more "civilised" part of the world where there are actually opportunities to do stuff? xD

Also, if you recommend I get into it right away, how should I pick as good a skate as possible without actually trying it on first?

Thanks in advance!
