More and more people are buying physical DVD/Blu-ray media.

I have been saying for some time, you can't depend on streaming services to keep your favorite shows available.

Same for music.

Oppenheimer's Christoper Nolan encouraged fans to embrace "a version you can buy and own at home and put on a shelf so no evil streaming service can come steal it from you."

@mr_daemon @Da_Gut @mimarek @Binder depends entirely on the storage conditions and what's on the media itself. redbook audio is less redundant than other standards, for example.

i've seen burned media survive 20 years of sunlight and rain. who knows.

In a +1 score to #Perl's great back-compatibility, I've had a script called from procmail that's been 100% reliable for the past 15 years maintaining my email, over many years of regular Perl updates.

A month ago it broke - because procmail. https://github.com/BuGlessRB/procmail/issues/5

But the perl itself still runs absolutely fine.

@leonerd the only personal application i've written to make it to version 1.0 and see distribution was written in perl. i picked perl because i know i won't have to spend the rest of my life keeping track of dependencies.

folks don't realize perl is the duct tape holding the internet together.

is it appropriate to use the FediHire/GetFediHired hashtags when looking for someone to do freelance work?

purple,
@purple@nya.social avatar

@eniko yeah use FediHire on looking-for-work posts and GetFediHired on looking-for-workers posts

i have personally hired two people within the past month based on these hashtags.

now that a kernel update has made me perform the "find a way to update the wifi drivers that didn't get updated, without the internet" ritual, i have, hopefully, appeased the tech goddess, and will be blessed with stable networks and efficient compute cycles.

i have exactly enough money for rent and not enough to go to work because one of my contract's (my oldest one) payment processor is refusing to release my paycheck from 3 weeks ago. still. normally this wouldn't be an issue, but Lugh Hudson showed his whole goddamn ass this year by never paying his share of the rent which means i don't have a backup fund in savings.

help me out pls https://ko-fi.com/purple64

running your own email server means adding bad actors by hand to your blocklist

i'm getting bored of my day job. hire me as your email admin, that's so much more interesting to me right now. postfix & dovecot, hmu

does anyone know if the bit to enable 32 bit addressing on old macs is stored in the PRAM? i'm having to toggle it on each reboot and that's a bit of a hindrance to actually using yonder old mac for fun things :(

I almost fucking died while riding yesterday, and it was all my fault! :blobfoxscared:

I was passing a truck on SR-20 right as oncoming trafficโ€”hidden by trees when I started my passโ€”was almost right in front of me. I only had a few feet to slip between both oncoming traffic and that truck. Never passing with such little margin again!

@Rocc @tk @Ariri @izaya @shibao for every story like that, remember this story:
some souped up rumble rumble Dodge Charger asks me for a race. in turn, i ask if he wants to get beaten by a single cylinder. he laughs, we line up, i win.

consumer marketing: :blobcatsuit: you need this optical connection the light makes the home cinema more chad

production staff: :comfystoner: so anyway i dunno man we just used a 2$ XLR cable found lying by the side of the road and jammed that shit in to my pocket recorder

@icedquinn tricks nobody tells you: use a regular TRS cable to connect the "SPDIF" ports on your sound card and your home stereo together. and it will just magically work, no analog line between source and amp ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Americans sure suck at driving and taking care of their cars considering how much they depend on them. :blobfoxgoogly:

purple,
@purple@nya.social avatar

@tk folks can't afford to take care of them. also they may not be capable of doing the labor, have the tools, have the time to learn how to do it, and so on. i consider myself fucking privileged to have that. most folks have to pay 3x the cost of the consumables to have someone do it for them.

my time aint that valuable, yet. cars are a goddamn hole in the road in to which america pours money.

purple,
@purple@nya.social avatar

@tk Hale no it doesn't

for that, i blame our dogshit licensing standards, laws that cause distraction by requiring too many (redundant/useless) road signs but don't limit advertising or commercial signage, and our propensity to double-down on fucking awful infrastructure instead of implementing known fixes (ye olde american exceptionalism)

i also blame judges that let repeat offenders continue to have driving privileges.

as an aside to american road design itself: a fuckton of our roads, especially in the midwest & frontier states, don't exactly "go anywhere". we can blame how lot parceling was experimented with back then on this.
