Merge branch 'asdfasjkfdlas/alkdjf' into sdkjfls-final

Hello) Haven't seen nice videos exploring hierarchical state machines, so I decided to share my tutorial here. In the video I break down one of Dark Souls III bosses and then use Godot to recreate it.

I'm about to go ahead and go 100% Linux on my PC and completely get rid of Windows. The latest advancements in Windows application compatibility for Linux has taken strides and it's now easier than ever to run Windows apps thanks to Wine and Bottles and Steam's Proton. There's literally nothing I can't do in Linux that I could do in Windows.

The distro of choice I will probably go for is going to be Kubuntu. But I've been looking at immutable distros as a more stable alternative. But, it sounds to me like it's more adapted for smaller devices and IoT, like the Steam Deck or similar handheld devices.

Have you installed an immutable distro on your PC? What distro did you use? What was your experience like? What were the pros and cons according to you?

New Ren'Py Lemmy Community!

Heyo, I made a community for Ren'Py developers to ask for help and share their projects! Feel free to tag it to crosspost your mastodon posts, just like this post here. (But read the rules first, please)

Hello Python community! I wanted to present the newly-made Ren'Py community on here.

Ren'Py is a Python-based game engine for visual novel development aimed at beginner developers with little prior programming experience. It uses a simple movie script-like syntax and provides both must-have visual novel components and tons of quality-of-life features out of the box. Capable Python programmers can easily extend the framework via custom components.

If you ever wanted to create an interactive fiction game, feel free to take a look!

I am trying to use wireshark to verify that my outgoing rsync is encrypted. I can easily see that the SSH protocol packets are reported as "Encrypted packet." The other packets being exchanged are TCP packets, I am not sure how to actually verify if these are encrypted, and if not, if they contain anything sensitive.

Should TCP be encrypted? Can they leak anything when facilitating the ssh connection? How can I tell?

Hello folks. So I'm still not good at Rust and learn even basics after years (just on and off doing some stuff). I'm currently working on my first small GUI application with FLTK in Rust. It's not that important for my question, but I think this gives a bit of context. The actual question is about struct and impl, using a builder pattern like pattern, but without impl builder and build() function.

Normally with the builder pattern, there are at least two structs and impl blocks. One dedicated to build the first struct. But I am doing it with only one struct and impl block, without a build() function. But it is functionally (at least conceptional) the same, isn't it? A shorted example for illustration:

Edit: Man beehaw is ruining my code blocks removing the opening character for >, which wil be translated to < or or completely removed. I use a % to represent the opening.

struct AppSettings {
    input_directory: Option%PathBuf>,
    max_depth: u8,
}

impl AppSettings {
    fn new() -> Self {
        Self {
            input_directory: None,
            max_depth: 1,
        }
    }

    fn input_directory(mut self, path: String) -> Self {
        self.input_directory = match path.fullpath() {
            Ok(p) => Some(p),
            Err(_) => None,
        };

        self
    }

    fn max_depth(mut self, levels: u8) -> Self {
        self.max_depth = levels;

        self
    }
}

And this is then used in main like

    let mut appsettings = AppSettings::new()
        .input_directory("~/test".to_string())
        .max_depth(3);

BTW I have extended PathBuf and String with a few traits. So if you wonder why I have code like this path.fullpath() . So just ignore that part. I'm just asking about the builder pattern stuff. This works for me. Do I miss something? Why would I go and do the extra step of creating another struct and impl block to build it and a final struct, that is basically the same? I don't get that.

Is this approach okay in your mind?

All I want to do is put a still image over a MP3 so I can upload a song to Youtube. (Sidenote: It feels really good to find a song I want to show someone that isn't already on Youtube. It used to be a somewhat regular thing i'd do, I have about a dozen Youtube videos that are just songs I uploaded because I wanted to show them to someone, but I guess Youtube got more stuff and my taste got more pedestrian, so I haven't felt the need to do it until now. Feels good!)

I used VEED, a web editor, and it produced a >300mb file. That seems a bit excessive. For the curious, this is the song: https://youtu.be/iLz7VXhCrnk

Hi all,

mpv communities seem to be tiny in lemmy, so I'm sharing it here.

This is a program I made for music control from local network.

You can run it in a computer with some local media files, or youtube links or any other links yt-dlp supports. And then with the server, you can control the media player and the playlist from any devices in your local network. So that you can just show a QR code or something to house guests for parties, or have it bookmarked within family to control the music.

I wanted to make something similar to how youtube app let's you play in TV and such, but my skills were not enough to do that. So I tried a simple alternative that works with computers. In an ideal world, I could make "Play with local mpv server" option come while on other android apps, but I have zero experience in android app development and it looks complicated.

I know some other programs also give option to control media, but I wanted to give it a go with a simple implementation. Making the web-server was a tricky part. Only tutorial from the rust book was useful here as every other web server developement in rust seems to be async ones using libraries so I would have to make a complicated system to communicate with the mpv. Using the simple Tcp connection let me make a thread with mpv instance in the scope. I do need to support https and file uploads and other things, but I haven't had any luck finding a solution that works with simple Tcp connection like in the tutorial. Let me know if you know anything.
