Hey, I am trying to connect to my home WiFi using nmcli but can't seem to connect. The error is

 undefined

    
Error: Connection activation failed: (7) Secrets were required, but not provided.

  

The journal logs are at the bottom.

Some context:

• I am using arch linux ARM on a raspberry pi 4
• I am able to connect to non-password protected networks (I created one by using a hotspot on my phone). Once I set a password for the hotspot, I am unable to connect to the same network
• I've tried the solutions in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NetworkManager#Secrets_were_required.2C_but_not_provided, but no success
• Previously, I was using netctl/netctl-auto and it worked for my use case for a while. But one day, it cannot connect so I can't ssh into my pi for a few days. I got frustrated and uninstalled it and installed nmcli which I am more familiar with. But now I can't seem to connect to a password protected network, so looking back, maybe it wasn't netctl that was the root cause of the i

I know there was quite a bit of controversy surrounding YouTube's recommendation algorithms, but I can't seem to find a better alternative. What are the ways y'all find videos that are of interest?

I know we could use RSS and subscribe to our desired channels and get a better experience than YT's own subscription system, but what about channel/video discovery, those that you've never seen before? Is there a better way to find a video that might be interesting to you without kneeling before the almighty algorithm? Half of the recommended page on YT seems irrelevant to me, but I can't seem to find a better alternative.

Hey, I am planning on building a co-op multi-player deck builder as a side project, nothing fancy or grand of sorts.

I'm kinda new to this Godot thing, but I kinda get the gist of it. Was always interested in it.

I have prior experience with Game Maker and Unity, so picking up the basics was rather simple, given that I also do programming as a job. So don't simply dismiss this as too ambitious a project to start with when learning Godot.

I just want to ask it out there, are there any advise on how I should structure the code or any advise in general? Just want to be prepared for issues in the future and plan for it.

Basically, my initial idea of the game is think of multiplayer Slay the Spire. But I want a more elaborate upgrade system to the cards, closer to Wild Frost.

For now, my head space for the design is to have:

• Card details, ie names + descriptions + image are resources since they are data that are "loaded in".
• Actual cards that exists throughout the run would be a

Just a random shower thought.

Mosquito's proboscis is sharp enough to penetrate your skin. So when you smack it while it is in the process of drawing your blood, isn't there a chance of its proboscis being forcefully jammed into your skin, leading to some sort of "splinter"? Or does it somehow loses its stiffness the moment it feels the impact?

I've never encountered nor heard of such occurrence in my lifetime of killing those buggers, but wondering if such a thing is even possible. If such could happen, I could only imagine the risk associated with having a piece of foreign organic matter being embed in the body

Hey, sometimes when I do pacman -Syu, I see some weird package being installed and I am curious which explicitly installed package is installing/updating it.

How do I so with pacman?

I know we can easily find out why an installed package is being installed, but what about before the package is being installed?

I've tried searching around and stuff but I couldn't find a working solution

Background: I am running Arch Linux on a Raspberry Pi, mainly as a media player.

When I run MPV, it seems to drop frames (1-2 per second). Visually, nothing looks wrong so I am fine with that.

The issue is that after playing for some duration, the audio will just disappear. I would then need to pause the video for a while or seek backwards for the audio to come back (sometimes it just comes back on its own when I leave it playing too). I suspect it may be due to the dropped frames or maybe it's due to insufficient system resource.

Could someone help suggest some config changes which may help with the issue? I am totally fine with the visual dropped frames, I just want to fix the audio issue.

This is my config.

 undefined

    
input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpvsocket
ao=pipewire
volume=120
demuxer-readahead-secs=3                                
cache=yes

  

So I know my setup is really niche, but here goes nothing

• I am using Arch Pi on Pi 4
• Installed cage as a lightweight Wayland compositor
• Installed mpv + wireplumber + pipewire

I am not quite sure how to use cage to launch a simple "Wayland session (if it even makes sense)", so that I can send MPV to that display. So I tried cage -s alacritty :1, and it does launch alacritty with it detecting that it is on wayland.

But when I do DISPLAY=:1 mpv ...., the video runs, but there's no audio. Also there's no errors shown on mpv either.

The other thing of note is that I tried cage -s Xwayland :1 and the audio+video works perfectly.

So in all:

1. How do I launch cage to spawn a simple Wayland session? Is this even possible?
2. How do I solve the audio issue on Wayland?

EDIT: Thanks all for the help. After some investigation, I found out the pipewire somehow is not ran on startup of alacritty, but it did for Xwayland. I noticed that the first play of the vid

I know what I am asking is rather niche, but it has been bugging me for quite a while. Suppose I have the following function:

  python

    
def foo(return_more: bool):
   ....
    if return_more:
        return data, more_data
   return data

  

You can imagine it is a function that may return more data if given a flag.

How should I typehint this function? When I use the function in both ways

 undefined

    
data = foo(False)

data, more_data = foo(True)

  

either the first or the 2nd statement would say that the function cannot be assigned due to wrong size of return tuple.

Is having variable signature an anti-pattern? Is Python's typehinting mechanism not powerful enough and thus I am forced to ignore this error?

Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions. I was enlightened by this suggestion about the existence of overload and this solution fit my requirements perfectly

 undefined

    
from typing import overload, Literal

@overload
def foo(return_more: Literal[False
