How to make watch faces - sh.itjust.works

I have a samsung smartwatch, and I’d like to make watchfaces for it. The problem is that I tried once and I couldn’t find any documentation, not version or basically anything. Somehow, I forgot how, but I managed to print text on a background picture. It was very frankenstein-like. I’d like to start over with proper everything, so I came here asking on the offchance that any of you can help me with at least documentations. I remember it being in java, however if I can use other languages I would. My mate got the idea to somehow render a webview, because that atleast it’s codeable, problem is I have no Idea how to render anything. Can someone give me links to usable up-to-date docs? Or pre-written webview? I wasn’t able to find anything.

How much storage do I need and what codec should I use for large video files?

How much storage do I need and what codec should I use for large video files? - sh.itjust.works

I’m planning a huge playthru of a game, and I’d like to be able to look back at it years down the line. However I’m expecting it to be 100s of hours (maybe around/over 1k, but I hope not longer than 2k) and years to finish (I’m not planning on playing 8+h a day). What are he most optimal settings for OBS to save as much video as possible, while it’s still watchable? I could record in 1440p 165fps. I know that’s dumb, but idk how low I’m willing to go. 1440p sounds awesome, but lower than 1080p would lose too much information. Same with lower than 60fps. I don’t have a clue as to what bitrate would do well, and what encoding is best. For bitrate I have a clue that it needs to be as high as possible. As it can be a bullethell and there are way to many particles/effects on screen, while everything that matters is small. (I’m not trying to be secretive here, game’s modded Terraria) I’d also state that I’d like to error on the storage side, I don’t mind buying another HDD, they really aren’t that expensive. And I’m also planning on editing the video down as soon as possible, so that I delete all the boring parts. Meaning I probably won’t have all of that lenght on my disk at once. Thank you for any aid in my crazy endeavour.

Alternative email? - sh.itjust.works

Sorry if I’m the millionth to ask this, but what are some good trustworthy email providers? Even if paid. But if I’m paying it’d best if it’s privacy focused. Thanks!

Encrypt whole system?

Encrypt whole system? - sh.itjust.works

My laptop isn’t under my supervision most of the time. And I’d hate it if someone were to steal my SSD, or whole laptop even, when I’m not around. Is there a way to encrypt everything, but still keep the device in sleep, and unclock it without much delay. It’s a very slow laptop. So decryption on login isn’t viable, takes too long. While booting up also takes forever, so it needs to be in a “safe” state when simply logged out. Maybe a way that’s decrypt-on-demand? I’m on Arch with KDE.

Java uses double ram.

Java uses double ram. - sh.itjust.works

Let’s be honest: I only use Java for Minecraft. So I only debugged with it. But all version, server or client, all launchers. All of them use double (or more) RAM. In the game the correctly allocated amount is used, but on my system double or more is allocated. Thus my other apps don’t get enough memory, causing crashes, while the game is suffering as well. I’m not wise enough to know what logs or versions or whatever I should post here as a cry for help, but I’ll update this with anything that’ll help, just tell me. I have no idea how to approach the problem. One idea I have is to run a non-Minecraft java application, but who has( or knows about) one of those? I’m on arch (btw) (sry)

Looking for fictional books

Looking for fictional books - sh.itjust.works

I’ve recently gotten into reading. I realised how much I love fiction, and a couple of tropes. So I’m here asking maybe some of you know any books that have them. I love it when the story focuses more on world building rather than character. The theory crafting I can do in my head, or just before I sleep, is priceless. Here I’ll contradict myself by saying a character development related point, but the more important one. I’d like to read more works that show some mysterious big-bad first as a rivalry, later as a friend. They soften up with the MC and we they become friends or allies or whatever. We get to see a BBEG of sorts’s friendly and weak side. I get that it’s a bit childish, but I lost my mind of how cool of a character they made the first time I read it. Now, it was in a manga, so I’d love to read an example that made this best or first. Thank you in advance, even if you just name some genres or authors.

How does OLED burn-in truly happen and why doesn't my phone show any signs of it?

How does OLED burn-in truly happen and why doesn't my phone show any signs of it? - sh.itjust.works

Title almost says it all. OLED monitors are getting more and more affordable, but it’s almost out of the picture when buying a monitor because of toolbars and HUD elements. I don’t understand why monitors “burn-in”, when I shine my LED flashlight or some LED xmas lights they won’t simply start emitting the same light even when I turn them off. I know it’s a dumb comparison, but still, what happens? The other thing that I don’t understand is the fact that I’ve never seen any signs of burn-in on anyone’s phone. Alright, technically that’s a lie, I did see some on a work phone (or two), that only had some chat app open, seemingly since ages, and the namebar was a bit burned-in, or something like that, as you’d guess I also didn’t interact with that phone a lot. As as said above “but still,” I’ve had my phone for a while now, so does my family and friends, some of us even doomscroll, and I’ve never seen any signs of burn-in on any (actually used) phone. so, I can watch my background all day, but I should open my browser every like 3 hours press f11 twice and I’m safe? Ff I’m away just let the screensaver save my screen? In that case why would anyone ever worry about burn it, you almost have to do it intentionally. But if it’s really dangerous, like I immerse myself into a youtube video, but it has the youtuber’s pfp on the bottom right (does youtube still do that?), and it was hbomberguy’s, am I just done, toasted, burnt-in?

I found a video that has a bunch of screenshotable cat templates - sh.itjust.works

I don’t know if this it tbe right sub for this. And also they probably require the original instagram post, but a bit of photoshop’ll do the trick. Anyways I’m talking about this youtube video: https://youtu.be/8bNvzeLlz1w [https://youtu.be/8bNvzeLlz1w] And here are two pics that I got from it (I’ sure there are more in there): smol [https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/c25ac105-9ad0-4acb-bf92-a034e971a0fd.jpeg] mine [https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/373d83c8-2825-43a7-a915-ddd81fc0e7e4.jpeg] Anyways, just posting if maybe some of you’ll find some of the frames good for a meme you had in mind.

KDE keeps bugging out.

KDE keeps bugging out. - sh.itjust.works

I haven’t yet learned how to replicate the bug, it keeps happening at seemingly random intervals. Right now it happened after walking away from my pc for a while, and when I got back it happened. I find my taskbar (Set to be on the bottom) at the top, when I open the edit tool it says that it’s still at the bottom. The add widget button just doesn’t do anything. The notifications are at the middle of the screen (however they are set to be bottom right). This all started happening after I updated to plasma6. I searched online and found that typing killall plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell into alt+space fixes it for a while. But it’s not a permanent fix. Also pre-update I didn’t had any problem with my screen going blank while watching Youtube, but now my screen goes to sleep when I watch fullscreen Youtube. I’m sorry that I got no more information, if I should supply some logs or screenshots, please tell me and I will.

Trouble running Baldur's gate 3 on Arch.

Trouble running Baldur's gate 3 on Arch. - sh.itjust.works

The game starts but I have extreme performance issues. I’m not talking about low fps or input delay, I have a decent gaming pc, and it’s relatively new. I’m talking about stutters, heavy ones. I manged to snap two screenshots of this happening on 60fps cap and uncapped: [https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/49759e9f-3e3e-4943-b7aa-d88aea042eb0.png] [https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/759977bb-d399-4bde-b4ca-33de16084304.png] Almost all video settings are unrelated. If I lower them the freezes also lower in number, but I don’t think it’s a hardware limit… if this [https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/f736c4ad-7a04-45b3-862c-90c86e445f12.png] can’t run it on high-med (as I had it) nothing can. I ran some benchmarks and stress test, both on Windows and Linux, both Vulkan and Dx11, It didn’t stutter. Some other things to mention is how I run it. From Steam, normally. I have no forced proton selected, I did no other configs. However I might have something fucked as: I can run s natively. I'm sure I can't so what's going on? [https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/aae84891-f302-4e79-9312-d9643e79a3d6.png] Anyways, thankfully mangohud got me and tells me that I’m using proton-experimental 9.0. (on the prev. screenshots, I had forced proton enabled, stutters the same) I tried using steam tinker, and it says: “using proton-unknown-958”. I have no idea what information more to give, I just typed out things that might be related to the issue. If something’s unclear or if I should supply more information, just tell me. Thanks in advance for any help or tips.
