My new main is @bekopharm@indieweb.social since June 2024

Updated https://simpit.dev/ - home of the Space Pew Pew #SimPit inspired by a VF-1 Valkyrie cockpit (#Macross)

That's a glorified #DIY joystick controller with an LCD ('MFD') and plenty of RGB for my #Linux PC

Newest additions are my videos for #X4Foundations, #EliteDangerous and #FlightOfNova (all also on https://makertube.net/a/bekopharm) and instructions how to compile #OpenTrack with the #neuralnet tracker using #ONNX runtime.

Best viewed WITH an ad-blocker and patience (slow).

#HomeCockpit

I’m flabbergasted how good this tracker-neuralnet plugin for #OpenTrack works. It does the #headTracking with just a webcam without any clips, reflectors or LED stripes. I kinda expected this to not work really well in a dark room, that I prefer for gaming, but I was wrong. Even with a tiny light in one corner of the room only it kept tracking flawless.

…can even scratch my nose and it keeps tracking.

To get this neuralnet tracker input in the first place I had to download the ONNX runtime package onnxruntime-linux-x64-1.18.1.tgz from https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/releases/tag/v1.18.1 (My Fedora offered 1.15.1 from it’s repo but this was at the time of writing not sufficient and having it installed resulted in failure due to an API mismatch). I didn’t even install it somewhere, just unpacked it in my Downloads folder.

Back in my OpenTracks folder I run cmake the way I’ve done it before several times but this time I added the unpacked onnxruntime folder to the config.

Configure did it’s magic (note how it picked up module tracker-neuralnet once the ONNXRuntime_DIR was set) and here we are one make later. This is rather impressive 🤓

YMMV

I'd forgotten about this until just now. In the mans own words:

If you're an EU citizen and you hate DRM and planned obsolescence, here's an easy petition for you to sign:

TL;DR: If online-only DRM servers shut down, publishers would be required to keep your game working regardless.

Only targets video games because that is where this practice is by far the most prevalent today, but it would set a precedent that we might soon need for things like phones, cars, and all the other things that are increasingly getting CPUs shoved inside them.

1 year to reach 1 million signatures.

If you plan to live past the age of 60 you should start pushing #accessibility now, so you don’t live your retirement years in an inaccessible hell hole. #a11y

To put it another way: pushing accessibility now is a selfish act for your future self.

How to approve and merge a pull request professionally? With two developers and their yubikey as authentication, using the briefcase of launching.

I am really shocked that Take 2 is providing some percentages off for KSP2 after the completely closed the studio which develops the game.

I know they properly added the discount before the lay offs but the should have stopped it as soon as this information went public.

Feels like a huge scam. Do not buy the game. They still sell it for a full price while never telling how and if development will continue.

Just found a stash of old notebooks, so here go few pencil + ink + watercolours pages.

I couldn't resist when I stumbled over this shirt. It depicts the Eagle 5 of #Spaceballs and is littered with further movie references like I ❤️ Uranus.

In Germany we don’t say access token. We say Kommandozeilen-Authentifizierungsschlüssel and I think that’s beautiful.
