7E1 in a 8N1 world

there are MANY types of horror and fear – at best, horror games might desensitize you to jump scares … but not a heck of a lot beyond that

• -auto-orient – auto-orient will read from EXIF
• -strip – strip will remove all metadata
• WARNING: if you’ve already used -strip, then -auto-orient will do nothing

Vibe Coding Day 8

Alpine Linux + LabWC – as I update my hardware, I seem to end up paring down my software – the more powerful the computer is, the less use I make of its capabilities 🤷 – I’ve worked with Macs and Windows, and settled on Linux more for its simplicity than anything – I don’t have any problem with MacOS or Windows themselves so much as the companies behind them

Alpine is a nice, clean, lightweight distro that works surprisingly well on a desktop despite the whingers complaining it’s for containers only … Pop!_OS ⇒ Debian Stable ⇒ Alpine (with Gentoo back in the dawn of history)

LabWC is the spiritual successor to Openbox, a nice simple stacking window manager that I’ve added a handful of tiling keybinds – I’ve added utility programs as I’ve wanted them rather than going for the cohesiveness of a proper desktop environment … Gnome ⇒ Xfce ⇒ LabWC (and with Openbox way back when)

oh hey, a project that actually has a manual to read

“hacked” or just used the FBI’s own backdoors?

Alpine Linux 3.22 introduced the 2019 patch to use TER16x32 console font – it’s not a bad font, but yeah: fbcon=font:VGA8x16

now … how many of those were by Linus?

another case of “lesser evil”
