Best CAD software for open source hardware design
Best CAD software for open source hardware design - sh.itjust.works
Hi, first time posting in this community, so sorry if this doesn’t belong. I’ve been (slowly) designing some customizable input devices via a hobbyist license of Fusion360 the past few years. Unfortunately, Autodesk decided to remove the hobbyist tier and made all my files read-only, so now I need to migrate everything to a new software. For some background, I’m a mechanical engineer with experience in NX, Solid Edge, Solid Works, and Inventor, though I mainly code for my specific job. My question is: what would be the best software for my use case? OnShape - Has version control - Collaboration tools so other people can precisely fork and adjust dimensions to fit their needs - Professional-grade software, so less friction or need to find work arounds for some functions - Free tier automatically makes my designs open source. While I don’t want to release until it’s at v1.0, it’s not a deal breaker - The software isn’t open source, and I’m worried about them doing the same thing as Fusion360 in a year or so FreeCAD - No built-in version control, and updates to files can’t be tracked by Git - It’s a bit jank to use, honestly. I’m trying to port my stuff over to it for now, but I’m having to force myself to do the work - Open source, so no worries about rug pulls - Can upload the original CAD files to a Git repository, and users can install the software and make adjustments themselves OpenSCAD - Coding-based design means Git should be able to track updates - Significantly different to use from other CAD software, which is a downside for me. Part of the benefit to me for this project is to keep my CAD skills polished for work as a mechanical engineer, since my specific job doesn’t do much with CAD - Open source - Users can easily make adjustments Blender - Focus of meshes means it works very different from other CAD packages - From what I understand, Git can’t track changes between versions - Open source - Users can make adjustments, but being focused on meshes instead of precision means adjustments are more difficult Is there any other software that I’m not aware of that fits my use case? Are some of my points about OpenSCAD and/or Blender wrong? Is there something else that’s off? Helpful feedback is appreciated
Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders
Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders - sh.itjust.works
Can everyone please stop claiming and speculating that Valve’s new hardware will be loss leaders? If you watch LTT and Gamers Nexus’s first videos on the announcement, they actually apoke with Valve’s engineers. And the Valve representatives already said that the new hardware WILL NOT BE LOSS LEADERS. There isn’t even evidence that the Steam Deck was a loss leader. All GabeN said was that the lowest cost launch model was priced “painfully”, which doesn’t necessarily mean it was sold at a loss, it could easily have been sold at a very tight margin. And no, low margins does not meet the definition of a loss leader. A loss leader is a product sold below cost, in that every unit sold actually costs the seller money. I get the desire to speculate on new hardware. It’s fun and it helps pass the time until we hear more info from Valve. But there’s limits to what is reasonable. Valve has already stated that the new hardware won’t be loss leaders, so hoping and/or claiming they are isn’t reasonable. Sorry for the rant, but all of the comments that seem to have only skimmed headlines are quickly getting to me
Bazzite or Fedora for Skyrim modding
Bazzite or Fedora for Skyrim modding - sh.itjust.works
I’m going to making the plunge to Linux on my main gaming PC soon and I’m trying to make the final decision between Bazzite or Fedora. I’ve done enough customization on my Steam Deck that I know Bazzite will handle almost all of my use cases for this system, with one potential loose end. I’m getting back into Skyrim modding and am planning to pull my portable Mod Organizer 2 install over. I’ve seen guides on it for Linux, so that’s not as much of a concern. But, I’m wondering if it’ll be a problem with Bazzite, as it’s an immutable distro. I have 3 drives on the system: 1 for the OS and 2 for storage. The MO2 install is very large between its internal downloads folder and tons of installed texture mods. Because of that, most of the modding will be done off of one of the storage drives. I’ll also need some extra software like Microsoft C++ compiler. Am I going to be fighting Bazzite the entire time with this setup? I’d prefer to run Bazzite if it won’t be a hassle, but I’m not opposed to running Fedora if need be

How to set up a decentralized game/chat server
How to set up a decentralized game/chat server - sh.itjust.works
I’ve been kicking around the idea of running a server for games and chat woth some of my friends, but worry about everyone getting cut off when there’s a disruption. I’ve started looking into kubernetes out of curiosity, and it seems like we could potentially set up a cluster with master nodes at 3+ locations to hose whatever game server or chat server that we want with 100% uptime, solving my concerns. Am I misunderstanding the kubernetes documentation, and this is just a terrible idea? Or am I on the right track?

FSR is missing from Steam Decl menu
FSR is missing from Steam Decl menu - sh.itjust.works
Before anyone thinks I’m talking about the new Decky plugin: no, that’s not what this is about. I’m trying to get universal FSR up and running on my deck. I’ve looked up several guides like this one [https://www.androidauthority.com/steam-deck-fsr-3344464/], but no matter what I do the FSR option won’t show up. To me it looks like a software update changed how the settings work, and none of the guides have been updated to reflect that. Does anyone know how get it up and running? I’ve been trying for hours with no luck.
