I love Nintendo but it’s insane they took Mario 3D All-Stars out of circulation and the only way to get it is insane prices on eBay/etc. this for a current console still selling millions of units each year

@djlink seems to go for around 65-80€ here in Germany currently, so not too terrible, yet. But I agree, what a stupid thing to do!

This had me curious if there are any stories of developers who applied to a company only to be able to fix some bug that was frustrating them as a user.

@djlink There is this joke:

How to compile chromeium. Step 1: Get hired by google.

(i cant actually say anything about the chromoum build tooling, but building the android gradle plugin has been broken outside of using googles internal tooling for at least 3 years.)

Rider has a 65% off discount at the moment and I highly recommend it. use the trial first and give it a test. It's been my main IDE for C++ and C# for the past 3-4 years, I rarely open Visual Studio these days. https://lp.jetbrains.com/rider-65-discount/

@djlink huh, it works for C++? I thought thats where you use CLion then? (i have the jetbrains bundle and have used clion ocadionally for c/c++ projects but never rider)

Bubu,
@Bubu@chaos.social avatar

@djlink Interesting, good to know!

The projects that I work on are of different nature though. (autotools, makefiles, cmake, meson, ...)

Bought an internet radio for the kitchen so I can play my snapcast streams to it.

Obviously:

  • I had to enter the WiFi password with a dial.
  • It doesn't allow you to load your own streams, but
  • it loads the streams through a dodgy unencrypted http connection.

Time to hack in my own functionality?

@philpem @halfy mitmproxy/ssl strip would only work if the device actually tries to establish a http connection to begin with, right? Cert pinning would only be relevant if you could install your own root CA's onto the device iiuc?

@travisr I always find requiring a login for even viewing profiles deeply offputting for social media apps :-/.

Delivered my box of boardgames to SOCO's board game lounge (organized by @d_s_e ) this evening at .

You should drop by and play some games!

Best camping coffee mug ever! 🦕 ☕

The same cup from the other side with the dinosaur awake and slurping coffee from a similar cup.

Oof, changing column sizes in the new UI is very tedious now. Around 20 iterative pixel perfect drag operations later it's somewhat close to what I want it to be. 🤔

@Bubu@chaos.social avatar

Due to a persistent lack of time for any significant contributions to any software projects I've now removed all references to my account and (hopefully) closed it for accepting new donations.

Thanks to everyone who showed their support over the last few years. 🤗

constant updates or "game is dead/bad" mentality is insane to me.

Bubu,
@Bubu@chaos.social avatar

@djlink I mostly don't even want these updates. When come back to a game a few years later I want it to still play the same as before so I can get right back into it and not... be an entirely different game because they reworked just about everything in the meantime.

So yes, I wish more games would be considered "done", even if maybe not perfect. 🤷

This was a nice inspiring blog post about maintainer culture 🙂:

@Codeberg (relatively urgently) needs more people helping to run the association behind the project. (Codeberg e.V. registered in Germany)

If you are looking for a non-technical opportunity to help running Codeberg please get in touch with us.

Step 1. would be joining the association, if you haven't already (https://join.codeberg.org/), step 2. write an email to contact@codeberg.org

Yes, this is a "pay some money for the chance to do unpaid work" opportunity, isn't it great? 🙂

:BoostOK:

@DerMolly @Codeberg Ideally candidates for presidium and executive board (Vorstand) but anyone supporting those roles in their work would be greatly appreciated. (Writing newsletters, organizing (in-person) meetings for members, answering emails, moderation tasks, etc.)

Oh god. Instead of blocking the ESC hashtag I managed to follow it. 🙈 😂 Help!

But seriously why is blocking/filtering hashtags somewhere in settings (and requiring filling out a page long form) and not available when viewing it (like for profiles)?

I get so overwhelmed when I open a design tool. I'd do anything to have a designer help with Owncast.

The Wireguard android app is now Reproducible and distributed with Jasons own signing key.

https://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/wireguard/2023-April/008045.html

Pretty cool.

@jr @mynacol @Foxboron

Which means, you can only use that if your app's minSDK is >= Android 9. (At least that's what I remember from when this feature was originally introduced)

Wireguard's minSDK is Android 5.0.

F-Droid might start to look into this though, it's only a few years off until this can can be reaslistically used in the wild.

Bubu,
@Bubu@chaos.social avatar

@jr @mynacol @Foxboron Do you have a link or direct quote?

Also interesting that they chose to offer apks with the old signer via gplay but not via fdroid (which can do this as well) 🤔.
