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.
@danielsreichenbach Yeah, I feel like to get any amount of work done on Windows would be a real hassle.
I'd be interested in using Linux as a desktop - right now it's only used on my servers. I have a bunch of silly hardware like RGB stuff so I'd be worried I wouldn't be able to control that stuff in Linux. It's possible though, I just haven't taken a look.
Thankfully all I do on my Windows box is play games. That was easy enough to setup and get games installed so it wasn't a big time sink.
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.
@danielsreichenbach@mo8it@FSMaxB It might be worth it to file a user experience ticket so that cargo/rustc can detect when you're running a configuration that will clash with the available resources and guide you on to how to change them.
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 🤮🤮🤮
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. 🤣
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 😅
@jimmyb Just tried first time, and had the Ally wired up to a big 4k display. Turns out, that looks quite nice, sounds nice, and gave me some chuckles from the start. I think I like this game 😄
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.
@jimmyb between Gitea and Forgejo i would pick the later one. It’s running on codeberg.org and that was quite impressive. Also prefer Forgejo because supported by a non-profit entity
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.
