I do this as well—I’m currently automating a repetitive workflow for work using python. What’s the latest project you’ve generated boilerplate code for?

So you’ll copy and paste the URL for an eBay listing and it’ll go out and fetch the price and quantity and calculate unit price?

That all sounds pretty neat. Do you do these things locally or is there a cloud service for that?

Care to expand on sound manipulation? Are you talking about for removing background noise from recordings or something else?

Do you take any precautions to protect your privacy from Google or are you just like, eh, whatever?

Table top games?

Do you run this on NVIDIA or AMD hardware?

Do you self host or use one of the Free™ cloud services?

Would you mind expanding on this? How do you use the LLM to aid in building websites?

Which distro do you use? I’m on Bazzite, which means I’m unable to add my user to the input group as suggested at the top of the Quick Start page.

EDIT: Your other post says you’re running Debian 12. Did you have to add yourself to the input group in order to see your devices as the Quick Start page suggests?

Update - using Distrobox, I confirmed the Window Capture option is missing from the Sources menu in OBS Studio v31 (Fedora 41):

It is there in OBS Studio v29 (Debian 12):

You might be right. The OBS kb says Game Capture is for Windows users only and that Linux users should use Window Capture. In my version, I have Game Capture, but not Window Capture. I fiddled with Game Capture, but after a few minutes I couldn’t get it to show anything other than a black screen, so I went back to what I use now, Screen Capture (Pipewire).

Good question. I’m not sure I can install the non-flatpak version because I’m on Bazzite. Then again, I reckon I can use Distrobox to skirt around that. I’ll try it and report back.

You’re right, thank you!

For example:

me@fedora:~$ gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom0/ name
'Terminal'

I was going to ask if you’ve heard of AntiMicroX, then I saw in your other post that you’d already tried that. Thanks for the idea to use a Python script, I’ll have to look into that.

qmk

I had to look that up to remember what it was. I don’t think my keyboard is supported, nonetheless here’s the website in case anyone else out there is interested in learning more.

Create a virtual mouse and use keyboard events tracked with python

Where can I learn more about this? I searched the internet and found a post on that other site that shall not be named mentioning a tool called libclicker, is this what you mean?

Thanks for the pointer to that Baeldung blog post. I’ve seen references to evdev and libevdev on previous adventures in configuring game pads and HOTAS setups for games that don’t support them natively. Also, fair point about python vs bash—I’ve edited the post to be language agnostic.

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying that.

Look into Day-Z or Stalker—they both run on Linux and might scratch that Tarkov itch. There’s also a top down pixel art Tarkov lite called Zero Sievert. All of which run on Linux. Good luck!
