For a long while I have had an issue with Pale Moon browser (which is based on the XUL platform, but is basically based on Mozilla Firefox.) on linux, where when downloading a file the "Save As..." dialog would not open, but only for some sites.

Looking around, I found some settings, like browser.download.lastDir which points to the last download directory and others, but nothing helped. But then I noticed browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite which means that f

Blender has a powerfull scripting engine, that is no secret. I have had to utilize it more and more as time goes on. Here are a few examples for what I have had to use it for.

One example I have is when I had to create a script to automatically copy shape key names to another object, as AFAIK there is no function to do so in the GUI.

With this, we can just select 2 objects (one of which is active), and copy all the shape key names from the active to the other object:

import bpy

I consider foobar2000 still one of the best audio players, mainly because of it's excellent media library system (for why even DeadBeef did not cut it for me!).

Of course it runs well on linux with wine, however media keys (the extra ones on most keyboards), did not go through when the window was unfocused!

Further investication revealed that even native applications such as VLC did not receive the keypresses when unfocused

qddcswitch is a Simple frontend for switching display inputs with ddcutil.

This application idea started when I installed a Windows virtual machine with it's own dedicated GPU, to play Windows games and use software which only worked well on windows. Because I used Windows 7, I could not use a tool which streams the windows screen to linux, so I had to use a physical cable.

But th

The Godot Engine is a open source, MIT licenced game engine. It's strong point is said to be 2D, which to be fair, compared to something like Unity, it is. The 3D side is not as good at the moment, but I found it very workable, even if it had some flaws too.

While they are expecting to release version 4.0 probably this year, with many new improvements, even in it's current state the engine is very good, but in 3

I dabble with music time to time, specifically electronic music. I am not a massive synth buff, so I use computers to make music with VSTs etc. I also use linux, and recently installed pipewire, a replacement for pulseaudio, jack, alsa etc.

My setup, using REAPER.

Installing

To install pipewire (on Arch Linux (btw)), you can install pipewire, and for alsa, pulseaudio and jack you can respectively install pipewire-alsa, pipewire-pulse and `pipewi

Garrys Mod, the sandbox game, comes with a set of props you can use to build things. However I found the sets lacking, so I created some more props.

Created in blender, based on the stock models, uses materials from the game.

To make them fit precisely to the stock models, I imported the models from Gmod to blender and started working on the additional props from there.

Overall this

A map for garrysmod set in the mountains.

This one was developed (and released!) in relatively short time. Usually I set my scope way too high, and end up never releasing maps. So for this time I set out to make a map with a house in the mountains, and perhaps some other buildings.

In the end I got the map out in a reasonable time, with all the things I wanted it to have.

My power supply for 12V proxxon tools.

Proxxon 12V tools use a rectified unsmoothed power supply to allow thyristor based speed control. But a basic 2A psu costs over 20€, so making one more powerfull yourself is an option. The Schematic of my PSU is the following:

I invidually fused every output with a 10A automotive fuse, as well as fusing the whole device with 1,6A fast-acting fuse, sized according to transform

Yet Another Car PC (for Raspberry Pi). A WIP GUI for use in car stereos, with large buttons etc.

This was a school project, but I was planning to use this in own my car. But it's WIP, I have not had the time to work on it.

Currently it can scan a folder for .mp3s and save their info to .sqlite database. Then you can play the scanned music using omxplayer.

I created it using Qt5, C++ side. I utilized Qts' singals & slots, which made making this threade

Image viewer with multiple images on multiple pages for Sailfish OS.

I created because I needed such application on SaisfishOS. It uses Qt5 with QML, utilizing Jolla's proprietary Silica UI framework.

My portable soldering station, made from wood & plywood, with 3d printed components added in for good measure.

The tools can be separated from the case, as seen above.

I started it in mid 2020, with doing the final touches in early 2021. The body is made from scrap wood/plywood and it is quite simple construction. Not many pictures of its construction though.

As you can see the box is quite compact:

An editor for the eXtended Visualization Mod for the game World of Tanks config files.

I created this in 2017 for schoolwork, on a JavaScript course.

It was supposed to visualize the changes like one would see them in game, however I ran out of time before that was ready.

I used following libraries:

• FileSaver.js - Used to create save dialogs from JS more easily.

My second published map for the game Garrys Mod.

I focused more on the visuals. It has 3D skybox and high res textures and so on. I used some materials made by other people, and also made some out of free to use textures. (Nature tetures are hard to create from scratch...)

The map itself is just a sandbox map. (Meaning do what you want in it.)

Simple 3D models of valuable bars for the game Garrys Mod.

Mesh, Texture mapping etc. was made by me using Blender. Materials used were made by others or from Valves games.

A dumb mod for Garrys Mod.

This replaces the model which is displayed when another model is not found, with a higher quality model.

There is 2 versions:

• HD Errors (Replacement model)
• [HD Errors (Separate model)](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1273

An addon for Garrys Mod, which adds more materials to use in game.

This material pack add's some extra materials based on the phong shader in source engine.

In source engine materials define shaders in a text file, so I modified some existing materials included in gmod to suit them to my needs.

(Actually two of the included materials use tex

A small mod for PAYDAY 2, which shows XP remaining to next level in the small bar in inventory, ready screen etc.

Overrides the standard function in PAYDAY2 lua which draws the corresponging element. Overriding happens with the help of a BLT mod loader.
