Simple FOSS GUI for Python (lemmy.mindoki.com)

Hello all!

I'm looking for a simple to use GUI for my FOSS python project.

I have tried tkinter which is, uh, usable but seriously oldish? Good point seems to be it's basically inbuilt in python so not hard to distribute.

PyQt is on the heavy end, I just need windows, scrollbars and buttons (basically, see below), also I wonder about the license of Qt (it's always a PITA when trying to do C++ Qt) and also what you must package when you distribute the soft.

Must haves:

  • Frames (I need two independent lists of files and another with global info)
  • Text, buttons & colors, an "open file" dialog. Editable text field.
  • Scrollable lists, with clickable icons (ex. "Filename [Delete icon] [Update icon]")
  • Async behaviour (so that a thread can update one part when it sees fit)
  • Works on most popular Linux
  • FOSS (I don't want to change everything when the soft dies, or be on the enshittification ride)

Nice to have :

  • Possibility to make pop out windows (like a settings manager)
  • Mac & Win support

Cheers and thank you!

Hello all !

I have a docker image that you can run with:

docker compose -f compose_10f.yml up

The compose_10f.yml looks like this:

services:
  setup:
    image: tenfingers_10f:v1
    volumes:
      - ./:/data
    working_dir: /data/

Which makes the image believe it runs in ./ so if it saves "./hello" it will be saved in the folder where it's launched (it works).

The thing is, it's a command line program (named 10f.py), not a server or such, so I'd like to run it like this:

docker run -v ./:/data -w /data/ tenfingers_10f:v1 10f.py

And it works with the exception it doesn't get to run in the mounted ./ folder.

It confuses the "mount" (or I'm just lucky the compose file works?) and it believes it lives in /data/, not in ./

python3: can't open file '/data/10f.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I did struggle to set this up in the compose file, but I'd like to make the images run in a specific directory thinking they are in ./

Any ideas how I can figure this out?

Cheers and thank you so much!

Hello everyone!

I switched to 100% Linux not long time ago (Serenity + 5) but I'm struggling with the replacement of the last but seemingly simple workflow, that I have used an overpowered photoshop for when on windows.

I'm an 'ol game dev and I love firing up some compiler or IDE or game engine and have fun, today its Godot πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜…. Long live FOSS!

I'm doing about everything in 2D pixel graphics, mostly because I have a stock of unused and also because I like it the most I guess.

So to the workflow!

Modifying pixel graphics:

The pipette must take only one value, not some mix of say 2x2 pixels

The pen writes 100 percent to pixels, or zero (so no smoothing stuff).

Possibility so make selections with 100% hard edges, and the possibility to erase (so creating transparency).

Saves with transparency to .png.

Bonus:

Resize without smoothing

Changing the hue in a selection

Aand that's it!

Is there a such simple soft out there?

BRW. Tried Gimp, it's just not working out for me.

Thank you so much πŸ’–

Hello all,

I'm playing Knights of pen and paper for the second time, it's a nice time waster IMO (free part is better than the paid one, again IMO).

Last cRPG I really liked was Neverwinter Nights, but it has sure aged a little bit.

Would love a lazy rpg on android or a slightly more story rpg on linux (no graphic card πŸ˜…).

Any recommendations?

Thank you all πŸ’– !

Hello everyone, I hope I'm not in the wrong place here.

My fiber connection went down thursday, and after some debacle (team 1 changed the broken hardware but didn't plug in my FTTH :-/) I'm back in business.

Thing is, my lemmy.mindoki.com, where I probably live all alone, is now no longer updating. All posts are about 5-6 days old...

I don't even know if I'll see your answer to this post (so please leave at least one answer, even if it's an empty one πŸ’– if there are no answers).

Any information greatly appreciated.

Valmond

Edit: at least I can see this post, the next after a 7d old one :-)

Edit2: the instance was running all the time, with a network connection but without access to the internet. Maybe it decided everyone was like stale?

Hello!

I love making games, have even had the privilege to do it "for real". I'm looking for some game engine that I can use to make a 2D turnbased rpg game, that would compile for pc and android.

I have tried out lots of engines since a long time, and whats bothering me the most is that windows changes breaking stuff, the engine going paid or cease to exist, or it uses like javascript. So I'm wondering if there would be, today, something you could recommend that is FOSS, 2D, has sound&music maybe a menu interface, effects..., isn't an obscure, old or too new language (like Lua or Rust, sorry!) and works out of the box for PC and Android.

I'm willing to ponder web instead of PC but I'm not willing to go the javascript route :-).

Thank you for your time!

Cheers

Tag media usage? [Meta] (lemmy.mindoki.com)

Hello all!

Have there been some discussions about tagging posts, like [Drawing], [Painting], [Digital] etc?

Maybe there are not enough content to care yet, but what do you think?

[-] Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com 83 points 9 months ago

But before I hire you, can you please build a small house or a shed or a trampoline to show me that you have the skills of an architect. The exact details of what to build will be given to you when the test assignment starts.

This is for free of course.

Hello all!

I hava a xiaomi (redmi note pro 9) and its battery seems to start to flake out a bit, or I'm using it more or why not both?

So from time to time, like now, I'm at 19% but it's 22:36 and it will most probably be OK, but if I want some more time before bedtime I tried to hook up my old 5Ah (or as they cleverly say 5000mAh) powerbank to charge up a bit during important scrolling and film viewing.

It works, but almost by just slowing down the deteriorating of the charge level...

Is there some small battery packs that can actually deliver, and also allow that delivery to said phone (I have a couple of wall chargers, usb cables that interdicts the real fast charge)?

I have only found big powerbanks that seems to deliver.

Thank you all!

PS. Like a smaller one than the 5Ah one ❀️

Except we'll be able to afford it and even the government will enforce it.

Imagine paying for kids, school, and so on before people can start working and then get like only 30 years of productivity before having to take care of them again for years and years?!

Nah longevity will be sponsored and paid for by any not stupid country. How do we like to live our lives, that's another matter ofc.

Non microsoft git repo (lemmy.mindoki.com)

Hello,

Is there a good place to host a little FOSS project elsewhere than github?

I'd especially like an open source community.

Cheers

Simple python lemmy scanner (lemmy.mindoki.com)

Hello!

I'm thinking about to make some sort of simple lemmy-crawler. The api seems to respond in json so that should be quite simple in python.

So before I dig in and set up sockets and stuff (maybe overkill?) has someone already done some dead simple "hit up a lemmy server and query them" boilerplate code that they'd share?

Cheers

320x200 or if thats too complicated 640x400 or 640x680.

Hello!

I have some weird problems since I upgraded from 0.18.4 to 0.19.1 (I did it incrementally).

Posts doesnt seem to show up any more, for example if I, on the web (just to illustrate, its the same with Jer oa or Voyager) go here:

https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/permacomputing

I can see a bunch of posts.

But if I go through my server:

https://lemmy.mindoki.com/c/permacomputing@lemmy.sdf.org

There is no pists at all (I have refreshed, waited, reloaded...).

I do see the page of the community on both links though.

Anyone having an idea about what could be wrong? Am I banned everywhere (I have never been to lemmy.sdf.org before and I usually don't behave bad online at all).

I'm asking here because the lemmy.ml and lemmy.world support has tge same problem (??).

Cheers

Firefly.

I mean more series, uh episodes.

We should rename it to "Trackers".

Smells like windows, Facebook, Google, ...

Good starters but today will just crush you to earn that Q3 +3%

I don't even have anything like Plex, but because of you I'll check out lemmyfin, I mean jellyfin.

Ooh the plan to announce something!

How very interesting, right!? Right?

[-] Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com 50 points 1 year ago

In good health obviously.

A good search engine would be nice to have (again). How come even duck duck go or other (free?) search engines are also so bad now?
