"Is that true that the dragons know everything in the world?"
"Nope. The dragons know exactly half of everything in the world."

I mess with computers, parent cats, watch a lot of movies and jump from one hyperfixation to another.

If I appear to you being competent in something, don't be afraid to ask questions.

Chaotic good. Impostor syndrome in a trenchcoat.

Also people who can just listen for your complains without giving advices until you ask for one are extremely valuable.

Bookwarm internet friends, I'm considering getting one of those cocoon hanging chairs to read on the terrasse but I've no idea if it's comfortable to read for some time? Anyone got one of them? Feedback?

@stephaniewalter I don't have it myself but see those kind very often on balconies and terrasses here in Finland.

Am I weird because when being given a choice between MIT and unlicense, I usually pick MIT because I want to attribute authors of work I reuse, but at the same time I don't like GPL because of its contagiousness?

someone made a mod for Nova: Covert Ops and called it Avon: Overt Ops and as soon as I saw the name my brain started singing "YER DA, YER DA, YER DA SELLS AVON"

Today is my birthday!

If you'd like to do something for me for my birthday, would you please reply to this with—or by other means send me— something with colors you liked? Like an image or a video or a link. Music would also be acceptable if it gives you a strong synesthesiac association with color.

If this request confuses you, here are some examples of images with colors I found striking [Artists: Laurie Barmore, Vian Borchert, Erica Aurahack]. But your reply can be whatever colors you like.

@mcc Happy birthday!
I love the visuals in Wong Kar-Wai movies, and I love traditional Asian outfits. And props designers for Mrs. Chan's dresses in In The Mood for Love took this combo to a whole new level. This one probably one of my favorite ones (she had quite a wardrobe!)

In MSBuild (a .csproj file) I can say:

Condition="$([MSBuild]::IsOSPlatform('Windows'))"

on an XML stanza to compile it selectively. I find this documented here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.operatingsystem.isosplatform?view=net-8.0

The docs say this function "Indicates whether the current application is running on the specified platform."

"The current application"?

Question:

Imagine that my build computer is of a different OS than my target platform. What does IsOSPlatform determine? Build system? Target system? A secret third thing?

archydragon,
@archydragon@loud.computer avatar

@mcc Apparently the host platform you run MSBuild on. Source: https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/issues/7044#issuecomment-974462404

i think i'd like to recruit a co-operator for https://irclog.whitequark.org (which will get its own domain, not under whitequark.org); would anyone like to volunteer?

this will involve an imminent transition to NixOS and a different data center, adding support for redacting messages to be GDPR- (and also common decency-) compliant, and probably at a later point a rewrite of the aging software powering it

@whitequark Is being an active IRC user a requirement?

@whitequark For the sake of good old internet preservation.

I have a question!

What is your favorite comfort meal? When you close your eyes and think of "happy gatherings" with people (or not as you prefer) what is being served?

archydragon,
@archydragon@loud.computer avatar

@mentallyalex Pizza. Just pizza. On thin crust usually.

archydragon,
@archydragon@loud.computer avatar

@mentallyalex Pretty much all non-spicy! My personal favories would be all kinds of cheese and chicken.

archydragon,
@archydragon@loud.computer avatar

@mentallyalex Four cheese pizza was a standard call with my ex who was vegetarian but loved dairy no less than me :)

As an extension of quotetoot, I don't get the concept of preparing to tech interviews like it's some sort of exam. Some of you heard too of people providing consulting services to prepare to interviews in MANGA, sometimes even for extra payment. In Russian speaking part of internet, lists of questions, sometimes very deeply technical, are widespread to determine "seniority level".
I don't fucking want to spend days of my time preparing to pass some imaginary mark of 80% of correct answers to get my "dream job". During interviews, I want to figure out that me and my potential workmates will be able to co-exist and share workload for years without thoughts of murdering each other.
P.S. I ain't looking for a new job now, just dumping my brain :P

> which one has what I want
I have subscription to three services and American VPN route to access supposedly the largest libraries subsets. I also have more than 300 movie disks on my shelves. Overlapping between disk collection and stuff available on streaming services I have access to is 30% at best. And don't even let me start ranting about subtitles translations.
I'm an avid movie watcher and usually stand for using legal content. But it's so fucking hard sometimes even for enthusiasts, what should "normal" people even do.

Hmm… looks like when Microsoft EOLs Windows 10 they're going to continue to offer Windows 10 security updates if you pay for it and I am sincerely tempted by paying money to not have to use Windows 11

archydragon,
@archydragon@loud.computer avatar

@mcc Hopefully they'll provide security updates long enough to sustain until next major Windows release which hopefully will be less bullshit than 11…
