Why do we perpetuate the myth that Windows is easier to use than Linux? These days even Arch Linux can be used by average Joe/Jane and it is easier for them by a lot.

Elon Musk was a mistake.

Dug out #TheDivision2 and played a bunch of that this evening. SO much has changed, it's a little overwhelming 😅 I had fun nonetheless!

Reading and getting sleep. I think I may head off to the range tomorrow morning. Relieve a little stress 🫥

I generally like #rustlang but I think every project developer should be forced to use it on a Raspberry Pi with 4GB RAM... had to build Vaultwarden (https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden) on one, and man,,, after 15 minutes compilation is no longer running because the device went OOM and now is so hot the fan is louder that a datacenter server...

Just to be clear, I think this is a Rust problem, not a project problem.

I honestly use #tailwindcss because I started out with HTML and CSS after the year 2000, and honestly today neither HTML nor CSS have a documentation that like the one offered by Tailwind lets me get to the doing part immediately.

Just make it illegal for code to be closed source. Now. After 40 years of seeing code I know closed source just means they have unspeakable shit they don’t want the world to know about.

So I had a bit of a unpleasant experience with #proxmox and trying to successfully do a PCI(e) Passthrough.

In my cluster, I have a few machines running on an AMD Ryzen 7 4800U with Radeon Graphics. Following the Proxmox WIki guide, I kinda managed to pass the APU into a guest.

The unpleasant side effect was that following that, the host then lost control over the remaining PCI devices too, as in IO, network, etc. First thing to happen of course was all OSDs on that host just disappeared.

We live in a world where reading something in the news always leads to a loud “what the fuck”. I miss the times when news made me say “oh wow! That’s so amazing!”

The only Windows releases I really miss are Windows 2000 Server and workstation #retrocomputing feels now. IMHO Win2k was the only time the OS worked so well that I did not want to die after using it. Other Windows releases 🤮🤮🤮

It amazes me that there are people that believe that if the Confederacy had won that they would have ended slavery on their own, when America is actively doing wage slavery, when there are still more People of Color in prison, when we are still dealing with the legacy of redlining. It feels like it never ended at all.

Going to Hackernews, replying to every crypto, AI, hyper capitalism bullshit. Never have I offended more people in such a short time and received such hate inspired replies. 🤣

aral, 4 months ago to Ethics

The W3C publishing ethical web principles is like OPEC publishing ethical climate principles.

Who are the members of the W3C?

Google,
Facebook (Meta),
Amazon,
Adobe,
SoftBank,
Yahoo!,
…

The W3C is the standards body of surveillance capitalism.

Ethical principles? W3C? Don’t make me laugh!

If they had any ethics they’d have expelled their most prominent members starting with Google and Facebook.

My partner proudly declared for them I am DILF. Words you never expected 😅

This year for Christmas I will be taking time off from everything. After all the recent excitement in my life I need a break. Will stay solo and try to find my inner peace. Been awhile since I last had a real rest.

Just so we are clear on this: any subscription for a digital service is equivalent with the removal of ownership. So please, support people making things you want by buying it. Don’t support conglomerates, fancy new economy crap, ownership is a great concept as long as you spend money you worked for.

Downloading #GenshinImpact to my #rogally since my daughter and her boyfriend highly recommended it. Looks nice but afraid that’s not targeting my generation 😅

Meanwhile in Windows 11 territory I am trying to get my ASUS ROG Ally to a usable state after its first boot. At this point it has taken six hours with gigabit speeds to download updates and the nightmare continues. Compared to my daily driver Arch Linux I can not comprehend why people still use Windows. The experience is abysmal. Only thing that worked flawless was WSL2… turns out that running Wine provides a smoother gaming experience than the real thing.

Finished migrating from Gitlab to Forgejo with the Act based runners. Feeling like my homelab is in a much better place now. What surprises me is the Act Runner is actually much faster than the Gitlab runner. Also nice to have same workflow for builds everywhere.

This weekend I will take a vacation from my usual work topics and dive into #rustlang to entertain myself.

Have two topics regarding my hobby #wowemulation bothering me: my MPQ reader/writer works for version 1 of the format but it should work for all four versions. And directly coming behind is my CASC library… need to write tests but no clue how to handle binary data in tests.

Huge thanks to @matrix what you built and and give is amazing and keeps on getting better. Working with #matrix daily and it’s a joy.

Been running a local server for #worldofwarcraft Cataclysm lately and that kinda makes me wonder if Cataclysm Classic will ever happen.

Generally I would like for Blizzard to have a generic "Classic" thing where one could go to a Classic realm, and then when creating a character pick any expansion older than the live one, and just play in that state on the character. Ideally, once you reach max level in the expansion it should then allow to move the character to the next expansion. If only...

danielsreichenbach, 11 months ago to NixOS

Got my #tuxedocomputers laptop switched over to #nixos. Generally I am quite satisfied with how fast you can go from blank machine to a working system. I did notice a few things that are rather off putting even though I am used to manual Linux From Scratch installs 😅

To get my plans for writing about #wowemulation going and give you all some more background about #emulation of #worldofwarcraft and also answer the question if this counts as #retrogaming I finally managed to bring up https://wowemulation.dev/
