Rust and Bust.

Hey now, AI transformed him into a tool who goes onstage to talk about AI. That’s transformative.

Absolute poetry:

I know you want to be the next Steve Jobs, and this requires you to get on stages and talk about your innovative prowess, but none of this will allow you to pull off a turtle neck, and even if it did, you would need to replace your sweaters with fullplate to survive my onslaught.

Yup! Where possible I try to get everything in x265 for this reason. It takes a little more processing power to transpose, but the difference in file size is worth it.

I’ve heard you’ll take a quality hit to re-encode something from x264 to x265, however. If you care about that, it’s better to just find a new source recorded with x265 or AV1 (if all your devices can run it).

I’m not very knowledgeable in that end of things, though, so I could be wrong.

Edit: Fixed AVC where I had meant AV1

Package manager: This package contains an updated sshd_config file, would you like to replace your existing file with the package maintainer’s updated file?

Me, every time: LOL, no

You do have to worry about some things though. I couldn’t say what those things are, but I have a hunch that temple_os users have some pretty unique worries.

Yeah, I’ve heard Photoshop can be rough. Here’s hoping someone figures those out for you so you can find your way to the promised land. These days everything important to me works in Linux and I’m never going back.

Are you absolutely sure the programs you need don’t work in wine/proton? The last few years have been a renaissance in terms of increased compatibility.

(Oh, and when I said that my system is unstable, the dev told me i should have used a “test computer”, obviously)

Hey, everybody, get a load of this guy. Imagine not running a separate staging computer and custom DevOps systems for your home PC.

/s, just in case you think I’m a Gnome dev.

Do new hires have to submit a pull request to get in on it? If so, I’m guessing the non-technical staff don’t get to drink a lot of coffee.

Fair point, and to your other point it looks like RimpPy is indeed closed source. I took a peak and the source code archives on the release page just extract to the same 2 files in the GitHub repo.

Rimsort looks great though - I’ll definitely give it a shot on my next playthrough, so thanks for that.

FYI, RimpPy also runs in Linux. (Not that I won’t be taking a look at this.)

I think the thing that saves me from doing stuff like this is that as I get older I’ve begun to hate extraneous cables on and around my desk. For the longest time I’ve stuck with cabled peripherals, but I think my next buy will be wireless in that department. Now if we could make this foot pedal wireless…

I’m pretty sure Emacs has a portal to Narnia somewhere in there.

Ooooh yeah. I didn’t even consider that, but it looks like it comes from 4chan so there’s a good chance you’re right about the dog whistle.

I wheeze-laughed at “Ran out of keys to bind years ago, has to use pedals under desk to switch between layouts.”

Now I kinda want to do that.

Thankfully, no. The only thing I’m evangelical about is the ISO 8601 date standard.

Do I get bonus points for being vegan and using Arch?

Yup! The only remaining Windows system I personally use is my work laptop. I feel like its lack of customizability holds back my workflow but I’ve kept Windows on it so I don’t get rusty for when I need to support my users. At this point I think I’ll just spin up a decommissioned box for Windows testing and finally throw Linux onto my work system.

You’re so right that we’re all beta-testers now. If I recall correctly, MS and Google both laid off a ton of their QA people like 10 years ago and now the customers are functionally QA. Our M365 tenant just dealt with over two straight weeks of email issues. According to the actual MS advisory, this was due to a code update pushed to production to “increase reliability.” No shit!
