If you want to hear me play more random instruments, you can gift them to me on Throne! throne.com/penbuvt

Thanks for coming to the stream! We of course had to play that famous recorder song.

I got a second UPS for my new NAS that I hooked up my router to. Prior to this, it wouldn't have made sense to switch scenes since the stream would be disconnected.

I probably have about 10+min of runtime with the UPS, but my monitor isn't hooked up one, so I wouldn't be able to see anyway.

apcaccess prints the UPS stats. Notably, it has a STATUS property that will be ONLINE or ONBATT (or others that I hopefully won't run into). I wrote a wrapper script that checks for that:

apcaccess -p STATUS | grep -q ONLINE

and hooked it up in Advanced Scene Switcher in OBS.

You got it! I have an APC UPS that can be connected to a PC through a USB cable. I don't know how you'd do this on Windows, but on Linux I use apcupsd to monitor the UPS's status. It's mainly used to shut down or hibernate the PC if the UPS is low on juice, but you can get creative with it.

If you're thinking this would be a very rare occurrence, you'd be right. But it has happened to me once before.

Thanks for coming to the stream! After messing around for the first 2 hours with different techniques, we went back to good ol' direct transcription and got up to the first chorus done.

The work so far is in the repo: github.com/penbuvt/fans...

I did eventually get it working. Now it's going to be a matter of figuring out how to allocate my disks and transfer the data.

That is to say, there probably won't be a stream tonight.

It will likely be work sessions this week.

I don't have pictures, but this failed attempt got turned into fried dough afterwards.

I bought a waffle maker at a thrift store so I could use up some pancake mix.

I tried using it for the first time yesterday, never having made waffles before. I thought you could use the pancake batter as-is, but no, it turns out you need to add oil to thicken it for waffles.

I tried using this input style with other Tetris games and it just doesn't work as well, in part because of the higher risk of accidental hard drops.
