I spent a few clicks on the site trying to figure out what guix is and does.

It’s a distro. Saved you a click.

I use both tempus and URL radio to stream HYPR demoscene radio with android auto.

Works with any live stream that does progressive MP3 like shoutcast/icecast.

Grease is bad for those PEI sheets. I wipe it off with alcohol before every print. They need to be hot, too. Around the glass transition temperature of your material. I exclusively print PETG. 70°C will fail, while 85°C will stick great.

I’m staying with the in-laws. We’ve got the dogs in the house. Amazingly none of them care about fireworks.

We do have a toddler who had her night sleep interrupted by big bada-booms half the night. I was hoping to acclimatise her before her bedtime, but there were none to be seen then.

I’ve got three. Master system, gameboy and NES. I’ll probably get a SNES one eventually.

I bought my first well over 15 years ago, and my most recent last year. They were good then, and have improved since. The ones I have list as many as it fits on a screen. You can skip ahead page by page. You could also just put them in folders on your card to ease navigation.

Buy only original everdrives from krikkz.

My jr developer will eventually be familiar with the entire codebase and can make decisions with that in mind without me reminding them about details at every turn.

LLMs would need massive context windows and/or custom training to compete with that. I’m sure we’ll get there eventually, but for now it seems far off. I think this bubble will have to burst and let hardware catch up with our ambitions. It’ll take a couple of decades.

It’s like having a lightning-fast junior developer at your disposal. If you’re vague, he’ll go on shitty side-quests. If you overspecify he’ll get overwhelmed. You need to break down tasks into manageable chunks. You’ll need to ask follow-up questions about every corner case.

A real junior developer will have improved a lot in a year. Your AI agent won’t have improved.

What? What did the moderator of r/jailbait do now?

You’ll need to update to a point release sooner or later.

Are you the kind of person who lives to peel off the band-aid or pull it off in one go?

I prefer to peel mine. I’ve learned from pulling stitches by ripping it off.

On a more serious note: btrfs and timeshift are 👌. If there ever is a botched package, I’ll just roll back to this morning and keep working. It’ll probably be fixed by tomorrow.

They’re sold as “Thomson streaming stick” in Europe.

Mine works well.

imagine if Microsoft made it impossible to install apps outside of its windows app store, no would accept that, so why do we accept it for mobiles OS’s

I felt like Apple was going down that route. You have to jump through so many hoops to run programs that aren’t signed by one of their $99/y certificates.

The final drop for me when I was unable to remove Music.app. it’s on a shadowed read-only partition that rebooting updates write to. Extra many hoops to unlock the same to do changes to it (that might make stuff flaky).

My original Průša i3 mk0 has been going for 11 years now. It did receive a mk1 upgrade at some point when 3mm filament was getting scarce.

The IEC heatbed connector melted twice. But it’s been solid since I replaced it with an XT60.

Looks like I’m finally getting some metal fatigue in the heatbed temp sensor. I’m considering a new printer. The rest of the components are probably close to giving out after all these years.

They already do this.

My banking app won’t let me use it if I have bitwarden from f-droid active. Play store is fine.

We’ve been married 12 years now. She still doesn’t have a clue.

I’ve got to go with Sophia Hapgood.

Yes, but now you get all the bad news streamed straight to you 24/7.

Previously you would have to pick up a newspaper or turn on the TV at the right time to hear about it.

I ran it 2003-2006ish.

Having a package manager that updates online was a game changer for Linux distributions.

I had been using slackware for 6 years prior, and there was no real update path. Best case you’d just get the latest release on CD and install it over your (hopefully) separate root partiton.

Conpiling all your stuff sounded like a good idea in the age of the architecture options at the time. Alpha, Crusoe, PowerPC, SPARC and MIPS were all viable options.

Removed by mod

I wonder if those DevOps cost $72M/h.

Otherwise I have an idea that might save AWS some money.

I have two machines running the latest kernels on EndeavourOS. One with a Radeon RX 7900 XTX has no issues.

The other one has a Radeon 6650 XT, which since a week or two ago starts getting kworker threads stuck while throwing errors about fence queues. Load can go up to the hundreds (while there’s no real load, but just blocked threads), until the machine crashes.

As I recall there was an amdgpu firmware update around the time it started happening, but the changelog on the amdgpu kernel driver hints at solving similar issues.
