@256 It was awesome tool back in the day, before WinDirStat replaced it.

Tak sobie ostatnio powspominałam stare slackware'owe czasy i dłużej nie mogłam już wytrzymać. Działa i nawet hasło pamiętałam xD

A, sorry za brak neofetch'a ale wtedy jeszcze nie było xD

If someone asks me again why I don't recommend when you're not seasoned admin/devops who just want to use their resources and nothing else, I have a proof now: support ticket was created two days ago, 16 manhours passed and no human even acknowledged its existence.

If you're using 's cold/object storage, then they SILENTLY backtracked from their "first 75GB is free" "promotion". Relatively recently they mentioned they'll charge for retrieving objects from Glacier but "forgot" to mention about that.

You know what would be cool? Having private notes on profiles. That way when I block someone, a year from now on I could quickly recall why I blocked someone.

EDIT: turns out it's there already 🤦‍♂️

Got myself a new project, A very rusty 600.

People post made with to and get thousands of followers then thousands of supporters on . When I post my all I get is either hate or crickets. I dropped using Ai Art Generator experiments because of all the hate I'm getting and my Ai generated artworks were all based on my own 3D renderings and using my own database.

branch300bpm,
@branch300bpm@vivaldi.net avatar

@keremgo where did you post your aiart and where's that hate? Anyway, trolls are eternal and so is blind, unwarranted hatred...

branch300bpm,
@branch300bpm@vivaldi.net avatar

@keremgo time to grow thicker skin then. ;) Better yet, get off mainstream social media because it's full of clueless idiots, and sometimes directed by clueless idiots too. AI pic generators are just a tool and not using them because some doorstop told you so seems wrong.

branch300bpm,
@branch300bpm@vivaldi.net avatar

@keremgo It's a matter of time when ai generators get sufficiently good and efficient. 3D graphics software used to be the same - slow, inefficient, requiring extreme (for the times) hardware power. As for flexibility, I found it (Stable Diffusion) good as a part of toolchain, not complete tool, but yeah, if you're used to 3D modelling then it's not going to cut it anyway, even if you use ControlNet.

Even didn't escape the UI enshittification trend with huge UI elements and large empty spaces between them. At least they gave option to bring the old UI back.

Looks like 's vRack didn't sell, so they're giving it for free now. Actually, they're forcing it - you get it no matter if you want it or not...

@branch300bpm@vivaldi.net avatar

We used to have apps that didn't require much more than working machine to run it on. Nowadays we need also internet, modern OS, separate in-app account and also we have to watch ads inside the app. If this isn't absurd then I don't know what it is.

sos, to programming
@sos@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

I hate when programmers tell other programmers "Don't do this" "Don't do that". Don't listen to these people.

And don't gatekeep other people's code. Let people program however they want.

Worst thing is, person posting this DOES use early return in their code.

I think programmers just think they're better than others. "I can do this, but you can't". Don't be like that. It's not OK.

@sos

  • Please don't do it this way.
  • Why?
  • Because it's not how it's done.
  • Why?
  • Because that way is wrong.
  • Why?
  • Because it's not accepted here.

Do you remember those screens displayed after POSTing and before booting OS? I don't remember seeing one on any semi-recent box I own(ed) or use(d)... Damn, I miss them. #retrocomputing #pc #x86

@tayledras yeah, Lolnovo-branded Thinkpads aren't the thing I was used to.

branch300bpm,
@branch300bpm@vivaldi.net avatar

@tayledras Yeah, most hardware still shows POST screen - at worst after flipping a switch in BIOS/UEFI config - but not that particular system configuration screen.

branch300bpm,
@branch300bpm@vivaldi.net avatar

@tayledras Isn't that Lifebook from 2009? Would explain why it still shows it :)
I think all BIOSes/UEFIs dropped them in favor of printing some very basic info about detected drives, CPU and RAM (and maybe some USB peripherals) on the same POST screen and then going straight to OS bootloader which usually doesn't show anything that would scare the crap out of non-techmical user. ;)

@tayledras Fujitsu used to make really good hardware, I still have my 2014-era Esprimo Q520 as a media center and emulator-running PC. Quiet and capable.
