When something doesn’t work, I do sudo docker ps lol.

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.

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.

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 :)

AMD has PSP, same bullshit. I’m not ARM ready either.

We can get around Intel ME?

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.

I don’t know… first time I installed Fedora as a desktop experience, I was more like the windows user in this comic.
On every boot: “Oh, lets see if there are any updates! 1.2 GB, 150 packages need updating. No fucking way.”. It was just a shock, and I’ve managed my own headless Debian system for several years at that point.

You are all wrong. They all use Pingo Linux. An abandoned Slovenian linux distro. They’re running vulnerable software, but they don’t care, they’re penguins.

I have a theory that if everything was pixel perfect, centered, perfectly aligned and looked the same, the thing would look too sterile. There’s basically a perfect world, written down in books and texts that is being taught to students and there’s the real world. In many areas, these two do not match and the above image is the result of someone’s text book world view not matching the real world.

Could the discover store have a better UI? Yes. Will a centered, down-anchored, pixel perfect button make it better? Subjective.

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.

Heh, looks like Microsoft employed someone and just let them do whatever they wanted. So they fucked around and made a text editor in Rust. They even have an anime avatar on github. Definitely doesn’t smell like a microsoft project but hey… if a company feeds you, you gotta put their name on your project.

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.

I wonder if that site pings an IPv6 address on the virgin network and updates the output automatically based on the ping result.

Never used them in my life and I’ve been machine computing over 25 years. Always one monitor, one desktop. I close shit I dont need regularly, I click on icons on the tab bar to get to the app I need. The tab bar is wide enough to hold like 30+ of them. Why do I need more than one desktop? Windows go over another, the tab bar shows everything I have open. Why switch? I never got it.

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.

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