I thought it was interesting. Then I dropped out because programming was more fulfilling and I didn’t need to become a CS major to be a programmer.

nouveau? Switch between drivers if you wanna use HDMI 2.1 or proprietary nvidia when you wanna game! It won’t make any sense, but it will piss off the right people :D

Reminds me of the time when we wrote an internal tool with strict SOLID principles. As new programmers came on, they had no idea what was going on cause no one in college told them about design patterns. Most of the OG’s quit soon after and the new guys remained.

Be a shame if it leaked on the internet.

I can laugh at deadpan, satire, parody, dark, puns, self deprecating humor but find it hard to laugh at cringe comedy. I generally get when something is supposed to be funny, but it can be harder with some like satire.
I can’t tell whats considered “good” though.

Its used in a lot of places. I’d say its about as essential as FTP, maybe a bit less. Take of that as you will.
I’m thinking of other problems BT could help solve, but I can’t think of any. Maybe decentralized syncing of data across a global CDN network?
Would be great if we could utilize it for video sharing since bandwidth is always a problem there, but its not really designed for it. Though I think there’s a lot of things we could solve with p2p, bittorrent may not be the correct protocol to use. A decentralized p2p marketplace was mentioned a few years back, but I can’t recall any detail or even name now…

What is Microsoft doing?

In the world of digital infrastructure? Azure would be one big one. In this image, it would probably be a stone next to, or above AWS. Windows server and IIS, though that’s not that important in the grand scheme of things (or is becoming less so each passing year). MS-SQL is still a thing. .NET and its frameworks are a bit more important and lower down on this graph, luckily they’re also open source now. Having a stone as separate floating by itself is a little disingenuous if not ignorant, but we can forgive OP, since it is Microsoft :)

Nah, price killed PS3 and with Windows, OEM’s eat the cost anyway. If its cheap, people will buy it. MS isn’t making things harder for developers, they aren’t increasing the price of windows, they offer support to orgs, they offer a whole suite of software for them too, they aren’t going anywhere. They’ll lose out some of the consumer market, but thats not where they get their money from anyway.

You’re talking about green screen right? :D

Can I just sign a waiver making me financially liable if I fall for a phishing email? Seems easier.

Used to run on a pi 4 but moved to a 11th Gen NUC and wouldn’t go back. Well, the pi was nice when I didn’t have any money but the performance boost of just an i3 is hard to beat. With headless debian 13, the nuc now draws 5w idle. Seriously low consumption, costs like 10eur in electric energy per year. Pi 4 still found a home for homeassistant +zigbee stack.

Ive not looked into it so I don’t know what kind of challenges they face. Theoretically, I don’t see where the problem is though…

The primary input is a users “wishlist” of things they want. Each thing is then compared against a master list which confirms it exists and when it should be available (metadata). This is optional, but offers a more rich experience. Lastly, each thing is queried against a torrent index to try and find it. Its a relatively simple procedure. I guess the only question is whether books appear on these indices or not.

After a quick glance at the notice on their site, it seems metadata was the problem… or more precisely, no work was being done to move to a new provider. It kinda reads like they lost steam and stopped developing it.

Yup, been porting all my music to navidrome the past few months and it’s pretty sweet. I like that there are native subsonic apps for most platforms (using tempo on android at the moment) and that navidrome also comes with its own web player to use on the fly.

Although my setup is much more simple, just using samba to get files to it and mp3tag to prepare the files if needed.
I initially used nextcloud with its music plugin (includes subsonic server) and its basically remote access + player + server in one, but its not as good imo. I’d rather use software that focuses on one thing and does it well.

I actually don’t! I’ll check it out if it fits my needs. Thanks!

I do host an instance of it but rarely use it. I’d love to see more in depth archival features like deep link archiving and archiving resources behind authorization. My use case is more archiving than bookmarking.

Never had an update break on headless Debian. Even when switching from 12 to 13. That shit is solid.
I’m getting used to arch on my main desktop and I still can’t figure out why the hell “sync” is the wording pacman uses for updating or why ‘y’ is refresh. Sync refresh upgrade my ass. I will admin, it is fast.

Afaik ground connection is made first on schuko connector too and I’ve seen plastic prongs on UK plugs for ground (even though I live in europe and have only 3 of them, one is still fake ground) yet I’ve never seen a plastic grounded schuko. That UK bitch is safe but I’m not sold yet on whether it is the best of the best.

Looks good to me. Venting of gasses, ear protection, two hand safety. It’s not prefect and its menial work but it looks like they have certain standards which are upheld.

And someone has the audacity to tell me these are people.

Ahh, calmed me down. Never thought of doing anything like you’re doing it here, but I do like it.
