I want to learn Dutch. Sounds so nice.

@RL_Dane When I was younger and more into BC DX-ing (listening to weak, distanced radio stations, for example on shortwave), when I was hearing a dutch station, I was not really sure if that is a german or brittish one (not that I am that stupid, but the mix of poor reception and strange language gave me that impression) 😄

Rant:

I love retro games, especially SNES/NES/N64 and GB games.
Modern games, except for some titles, do not fascinate me at all anymore.
This lead to being able to run machines that are in the "older" realm. Not having a dedicated graphics card can be a blessing for sure. Energy costs drastically go down and one can run quiet systems.
Besides, playing retro games is not taxing at all to the system - any system will do fine.
I miss the great stories older games told... nostalgia hits again.

@jhx is something from early 2000s retro already?

Note to myself (after reinventing the wheel): on MicroOS you can layer applications by using 'sudo transactional-update pkg install {program-name}'. Big gripe by users is you have to reboot, and with 6 or 7 programs that's annoying (htop, fastfetch, mc, micro, you get it).
So: install the first program with the command above, don't reboot. Then install the others one by one with: 'sudo transactional-update --continue pkg install {program-name}'. When finished with all reboot. Done.

@thelinuxcast @peppe on MicroOS, you can't.

And I think, the main point of what he wanted to say is that you need to use the 'continue' flag, otherwise you will create multiple "snapshots" of the system if you install apps ones after another and not in one batch.

MicroOS is something like Kinoite (transactional Fedora, you did a long term review on your channel). On Kinoite, you can't do 'dnf install', you need to use that 'ostree' command.

ICYMI, we did a major update to our algo in february, how are you finding it?

peterkotrcka,
@peterkotrcka@mastouille.fr avatar

@Mojeek hard to tell, since I usually do not search for the same thing over and over again 😄

If there would be one thing that I do not really like about your algo, it's the fact that OLD results are usually pretty high.

Which, at least for IT, is not that useful.

@Mojeek for example, the first result for "openbsd wifi" is this blog from 2008:

https://blog.desgrange.net/post/2008/12/08/configuring-openbsd-as-a-wifi-access-point.html

Which is still a good and informative response, but still.. 2008 🙂

peterkotrcka,
@peterkotrcka@mastouille.fr avatar

@Mojeek "haskell introduction", the very first result is from 2000:

https://www.haskell.org/tutorial/

I mean, yes, it is on the official page, but...

peterkotrcka,
@peterkotrcka@mastouille.fr avatar

@Mojeek "julia lang" and the main page for Julia Programming language (which is julialang.org) nowhere near the beginning 🙂

"julia language" then finds it.

I have to say never have I used such a janky, crashy app like Final Cut Pro in recent times… except for DaVinci Resolve and I’m told Premiere is even worse. sigh

One take-away from creating this (and a conference talk before) is that FCP’s multi-cam (while nice to sync video and audio) takes the jank to 11. At least I hadn’t dozens of dead frames this time.

peterkotrcka,
@peterkotrcka@mastouille.fr avatar

@hynek Premiere itself is not as bad, but... then you have After Effects (which you use inside your Premiere timeline very very often as an inserted project). And that crashes like crazy.

ok maybe this gemini guy is not so bad

Whenever I, or someone else, posts a link to this blog on Mastodon, it DDoS's me and brings the site down for a couple minutes.

@kev yes, this is how it works.

You have too many followers on too many instances 😄

Has anyone compiled Dillo from source? I'm on Debian and can't seem to find the fltk1.3 library it needs.

peterkotrcka,
@peterkotrcka@mastouille.fr avatar

@ChrisWere I am not sure if that is a typo or not, but it should be fltk (with "T"), so libfltk1.3-dev

peterkotrcka, to random
@peterkotrcka@mastouille.fr avatar

I might (and I repeat, I MIGHT) have found a bug in the newest release of Dillo browser.

When I enable "Load backgroud images", I can not change the URL until I switch to another window (app) an back. Also, the title bar changes color (until the switch and back)

Maybe a FLTK issue? I have version 1.3.9-2.2 (opensuse) installed, I will check on my Ubuntu as well. Did not notice on RC but again, I might not even try it back then.

@dillo

peterkotrcka,
@peterkotrcka@mastouille.fr avatar

@dillo But on Ubuntu, it was also Wayland (just with GNOME) and it worked just fine there. It has to be either openSUSE or KDE (or both together) related.
