Great. The new vacuum cleaner talks back. Just what I needed.
Mebbe I’ll disassemble it to find out how to replace the speech with something else. Munching sounds or so.
Kind: Notes
short content: a post or status update with just plain content and typically without a title
Modding my X4: Foundations into using the same data format as Elite Dangerous does so I can run my SimPit without changes. Things are coming together nicely 😀
Checking out a digital tool for household planning. It comes with features like the digital detox challenge.
I almost uninstalled it again 🤪
FIY Should update within 24h https://youtu.be/RIGkmqzJdfQ
It’s a #foss 6dof racing game with a #Newtonian flight model similar to #EliteDangerous.
It does have a #Linux version but the world gen lib is single threaded on Linux so Proton may be a better choice for now.
It also features access to full ship telemetry and head tracking including OpenTrack via UDP thanks to my nagging 🤪
No idea about VR. Apparently it works but I can’t test that.
Hidden Chubie in AugmentedUI
I’m not saying that #augmentedUi has some easter eggs in it’s documentation but there is at least one Chubie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhXoYgB7rPU&t=13693s) and a mysterious secret hidden in one of it’s demo elements 🤓
Had a good chuckle and now I wonder what the secret is. It wasn’t just base64 or rot13 tho 🤔
Is this a paper chase?
Dipping into SpaceBourne 2 – Rebuilding A Friend
Okay, I did some recording of SpaceBourne 2 and added a voice over and even subtitles… and I conclude that is way too much work but in case you’re interested into a sneak peak of this early access go ahead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz4uK2Irofo / https://tube.tchncs.de/w/5h9VoeHs5vTAu3bgptc7bN

Possible that the cats help. The jury is still out on that. Nobody wants to touch the evidence 🤡
Tried Paperless-ngx and gotta say I like it so far: https://docs.paperless-ngx.com/
I was especially happy when I found the Paperless apps in the #fdroid store. That’s always a good sign 🤓

Run this with moltengamepad --num-gamepads 2 --mimic-xpad and press button on the joystick _first_ and on the throttle _second_ so they get assigned in the correct order.
This should result in two gamepads _and_ the X52Pro so even really braindead games that do only support gamepadS should be able to read this at least in any way.
If the game does support only one gamepad consider binding joystick _buttons_ to keyboard presses (e.g. with AntiMicroX instead).
