Does the Order of Scribe's "Master Scrivener" feature remove the need for costly material components?

Implement AKA in SQL Server Master Data Services

I’m working with a bunch of scientists and we’re trying to implement a master data solution for the ingredients they use in formulations. The problem with their historic data is Scientist #1 will use Ingredient A but call it ‘Alpha 100’ while Scientist #2 will use Ingredient A and call it ‘A100’. We want to implement Master Data Services to make sure the way the materials are characterized scientifically is consistent and then develop a template that will force scientists to pick ingredients from a drop down. However, Scientist #1 will be looking for ‘Alpha 100’ and Scientist #2 will be looking for ‘A100’ in a dropdown, so I’m curious, is there a way to implement an AKA (also known as) solution is SQL Server Master Data Services?

I was thinking it could just be a bunch of extra attributes that can be null and then unpivot them in a view, but that doesn’t feel elegant.

Master Style Alert – Highlight when you’re editing a master template or master language

Do you frequently find yourself leaving development mode on and then accidentally end up editing master style templates in the templates section?

Frequently I find that I’m too much of an idiot to realise I’m editing master templates by mistake. Or I may be working on master templates for an add on and theme templates for other stuff, Before you know it, you’ve forgotten you’re in master and saved a change and you’ve got nothing to revert to.

Now you too can be slightly less of an idiot…

Is it ok and safe to import master public key from electrum wallet into bluewallet to be a watch-only wallet?

I want to use my iPhone (Blue wallet) to be the watch-only wallet for my offline wallet generated on electrum. So that I can generate unsigned transaction on the bluewallet and send it back to my offline wallet to be signed on electrum. And then send the signed transaction back to bluewallet to be broadcasted.

Is it safe to do so? Is there any better way to do it so I don’t have to send the unsigned and signed transaction back and forth?

macos – How to adjust master volume for an output device?

I’m using a DAC (AudioQuest DragonFly) which has a very loud master volume when combined with headphones. It is not possible to adjust the volume on the device itself.

Therefore I can only use the first three notches on the audio volume, everything else is too loud (I know I can use ⌥⇧ together with the volume buttons to get 1/4 of the volume adjustments, but I’d rather just use the volume buttons as is because that’s where my muscle memory is).

Is it possible to adjust the master volume of an output device in macOS so that I can use the full range of volume adjustment when using the volume keys? If so, how can I achieve this?

postgresql – PgPool setup with remote master and local read replica

I have working two server postgres setup with local (in docker) replica and remote (via VPN) master.
Without enabled load balancing everything (all queries) are redirected to master with enabled load balancing only 50% “read” queries are redirected to replica node.

Is there way to redirect all “read” queries exclusively to replica node?

master master replication – PostgreSQL 13 active-pasive, doable?

I want to replicate a MariaDB setup (active-passive), I use keepalived to configure a VIP, one node is a slave from another one, and the one that is passive is in read-only mode.

I would like to implement something similar but using PostgreSQL 13, so far I manage to configure only a Master-Slave but can’t find a way to make the slave also to be a master at the same time.

My reason to do this is that in case the current master goes down, I could easily switch to the slave the one will be the new master, but while searching I found to many 3rd party tools/solution or in some cases solutions that require an “arbitrator” (a 3rd VM).

Therefore wondering if it’s possible with PostgreSQL 13 (no 3rd party tools) to promote a slave or make it the new master and when the old master is back, sync changes and be now a slave.

Probably better to ask if by design this is possible or is definitely a no-go when using PostgreSQL.

The Wizard Order of Scribes subclass provides the ability to create a magic scroll of level 1 or 2:

At 10th level, whenever you finish a long rest, you can create one magic scroll by touching your Wizardly Quill to a blank piece of paper or parchment and causing one spell from your Awakened Spellbook to be copied onto the scroll. The spellbook must be within 5 feet of you when you make the scroll.

The chosen spell must be of 1st or 2nd level and must have a casting time of 1 action. Once in the scroll, the spell’s power is enhanced, counting as one level higher than normal. You can cast the spell from the scroll by reading it as an action. The scroll is unintelligible to anyone else, and the spell vanishes from the scroll when you cast it or when you finish your next long rest.

Does casting a spell through the scroll created this way require material components? For example, could I cast Find Familiar or Arcane Lock through the scroll without having to spend the 10gp / 25gp component?

Costly components are not required.

The rules for casting a spell from a magic item state:

Some magic items allow the user to cast a spell from the item, often by expending charges from it. The spell is cast at the lowest possible spell and caster level, doesn’t expend any of the user’s spell slots, and requires no components unless the item’s description says otherwise.

If the feature required costly components it would say so.

No – You will still have to pay for any expensive components,

Under the idea of 5e being an exception based ruleset, and “there are no secret rules“, unless it explicitly states you get a benefit, you do not get that benefit. Therefore, you have to pay them.

When and how they get used is probably a DM call, but it is probably best handled when the spell is transcribed.

I do not think this would be a good house rule either. The expensive components are there for a reason, and doing away with that costs as well as the cost to scribe a spell might be a bridge too far. IMO

This is inspired by the following two related questions:

Notably, the features in question (Warlock’s Pact of the Chain Pact Boon and Battle Master Fighter’s Commander’s Strike) both allow you to forgo an attack after taking the Attack action:

(…) Additionally, when you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of your own attacks to allow your familiar to make one attack with its reaction.

(…) When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can forgo one of your attacks and use a bonus action to direct one of your companions to strike. (…)

And the other features asked about (Two-Weapon Fighting and the Hunter Ranger’s Horde Breaker feature) both grant an additional attack that is not part of the Attack action:

When you take the Attack action and attack with a light melee weapon that you’re holding in one hand, you can use a bonus action to attack with a different light melee weapon that you’re holding in the other hand. (…)

Once on each of your turns when you make a weapon attack, you can make another attack with the same weapon (…)

The answers to those questions do not all agree, and part of their differences lies in the fact that these additional attacks are not part of the Attack action, which are exactly the type of attacks I would now like to ask about. A particular example would be the Gloom Stalker Ranger’s Stalker’s Fury feature, which states (emphasis mine):

(…) Once on each of your turns when you miss with a weapon attack, you can make another weapon attack as part of the same action.

How does this feature interact with things like Commander’s Strike and Pact of the Chain? Can the additional attack be forgone by these features?
