⚠️ I just realized you will not be able to use a Raspberry Pi 4 in this way. In the picture I posted before, see that black slightly-out-of-focus thing lurking innocently on the right side? That's the X-axis stepper. It sits with less than 15 mm (X) clearance from the controller box and about 45 mm ...

If you have a setup that works with a v1.4 but then replacing the adapter with a v1.3 makes it stop working, then yes: it's the v1.3 adapter, not you. If they were really cheap, maybe the 3232 chip is fake. Real TI Max3232 chips are rather expensive, but there are some genuine second-source ones tha...

scruss

so if you're running through screen, what are you running it on? Are you just multiplexing the framebuffer console?

scruss

Those don't have any USB → Serial capability. They are just MAX3232 RS232 to TTL level converters. The mini USB B connection seems to be for power only.

You might be able to use these with the GPIO UART ports, if you free them up first.

That looks a lot like the Tracker UI I know and swear at, yes.

The main problem with anemometers is: will it still be there after a storm? Magnet and reed switch is low resolution, cheap and fairly robust. Switch bounce can be a problem. Photochopper (like in mechanical computer mice) has a higher resolution but can suffer from bounce too. I mostly used to work...

I meant a spotlight search bar on your dock where you can search for programs. It's not just on a phone. Every desktop environment I've used had it. I just find it incomplete and hard to navigate without one. Every other desktop (Mac, Windows) has a much more powerful processor and a commercial ent...

scruss

Cut/Copy/Paste in the desktop terminal requires shift: Shift+Ctrl+X/C/V for $REASONS … mostly because Ctrl-C means Break.

scruss

If it's working, it shouldn't ask for anything. What were you expecting?

Some OSs are set to always ask for a password, which is an annoyance.

scruss

No, it doesn't. Raspbian Desktop is still a lightweight UI, and search bars with indexing are very heavy. Yes, your phone has a search bar, but it also has a large commercial entity behind it and a walled garden for installing programs. Some programs don't have menu items as they're meant to run fro...

scruss

That, right there, is enough to make me avoid it. You don't have to use the mouse. It's an option. You can use cursor keys. You can use those weird keys that vi uses as a legacy from one workplace in the mid 70s that was too cheap to buy the add-on cursor pad from Lear-Siegler, if you really want. ...

OP hasn't been back since posting this 2+ years ago.

For people who have become used to the GUI mouse pointer being separate from the text cursor, tying them together is a frustrating thing to have happen. I should clarify: mouse pointer over ssh in micro is for graphical terminal windows, where the cursor only moves if you click or drag. I don't thi...

scruss

nano only exists because Pine's Pico editor had licensing problems . It's not an editor I enjoy, but I see why Raspbian uses it and is embedded in the docs. I don't really care which editor I use, as long as it's mostly CUA-based and can use a mouse for cursor control. For terminal use (except on a ...

scruss

Not safely, no. HFS+ has been read-only under Linux for as long as I've used it. Something about not being able to keep the journal consistent.

trying adding virtual desktops using obconf — window buttons go stop every time

scruss

Yes, changing themes or doing virtually anything in obconf (the OpenBox Configuration tool) will trigger this. The issue's slightly less in Buster than in Stretch, but it still bites me repeatedly (adding workspaces does it almost always). I've had a variety of responses from the maintainers which i...

scruss

Maybe - but you won't be able to compile anything for the ESP32 on a Raspberry Pi. For some reason the ESP32 dev kit has no build target for ARM.

In xarchiver, go to Action → Preferences, and Store archiver output is in the first (Archive) tab:

Yes, please don't double post. I wasted time writing that answer.

scruss

Well, that got me closer thanks. I was able to print test pages from each printer, but, they still did not show in the list of installed printers in Chrome nor the Libre program print dialogs. They were shown as installed in the CUPS admin panel though. LibreOffice and (especially) Chrome are reall...

You might be looking for time.strftime . Here's a very fancy demo: #!/usr/bin/python3 # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- # demo of all of the strftime codes - scruss, 2020-03 from time import localtime, strftime fmts = { "%a": "Locale’s abbreviated weekday name", "%A": "Locale’s full weekday name", "%b": "Loca...

… A friend of mine has a key that will open most of the traffic controller cabinets in Finland, … (getting vastly off topic here) And if it's anything like the Danish utility cabinet keys (like this one ) I used to have, the top loop will be designed as a bottle opener. This caused no end of troubl...

scruss

no, it tests entire free space — less a block.
If you have a fake flash card, this will still catch most of them. f3probe might be better

scruss

f3: sudo apt install f3
write test with f3write, check it with f3read. Also includes f3probe, which may or may not be able to detect a fake flash controller.
