An early one, a 7 with the smaller engine I believe (the difference is in the rims). If I’m right this puts this picture as pre-ww2 because the 7 was very quickly replaced/followed by the 10 and 15. Numbers are “fiscal horses", the amount of taxes to pay being relative to the size and power of the engine.

I know everybody always grandly takes on the High Seas, sailing them with lots of "arrrr“ and stuff, but I’ve found that small, quick flowing rivers oftentimes do yield a good catch.

J’ai vu hier Sarāb en concert, c’était très très bien. Les reprises de Fairouz sont à la fois émouvantes et audacieuses, avec claviers et guitare bien pétés. Pour ce concert le festival avait invité Hiba Mekkaoui à les rejoindre avec son Qanun - Je n’avais jamais entendu cet instrument hors du répertoire traditionnel, et là ça déchirait. Une excellente découverte !

Check out Switzerland. Huge private healthcare network, expensive country but the salary is high too. Excellent public transport, good social protection… And magnificent landscapes, smack in the middle of Europe you have access to everywhere. You’ll have to learn French or German tho. It can be a bit quiet, but very very safe. Traditional food is meh, especially if you’re not a fan of melted cheese by the bucket.

That’s why I mentioned “huge private healthcare network”: the employer does the Work Visa authorisation paperwork for you.

That’s how I was on Slackware at the time. Reputable, functional, stable - and totally tailorable to your exact needs.

Everybody talks about Arch as a “pedagogic” distro, but you’ll learn a lot working with Slackware. I wonder if Lilo is still around.

AsahiLina (@lina) was back on the graphic driver to get, ultimately, to Vulkan

Asahi supports M1 and M2 chips because that’s what they own.

asahilinux.org/fedora/#device-support

M3, (and then M4) isn’t there because the cheapest hardware, the Mini, doesn’t exist with them… And also because work isn’t finished on M1/M2.

The way apple sees its computer customer base now as they see their iPhone base (Must Own Latest Must Buy Shiniest), I do hope for the Asahi Linux project they don’t keep on iterating endlessly with new hardware twice a year.

You guys know that there’s an actual rtfm app that condenses the output of man to human-readable stuff right? Right??

reallyzen, 2 days ago

My bad: it’s tldr not rtfm

Me too I have stupid disputable aliases…

github.com/tldr-pages/tldr

reallyzen, 2 days ago

Of course. . …I was wrong and it is tldr not rtfm.

github.com/tldr-pages/tldr

But surely you heard about TheFuck?

github.com/nvbn/thefuck

There’s actually an rtfm package in Arch’s aur, but it just opens the archwiki for you which just adds that tiny bit of… of That Arch Way Of Doing Things I guess.

Not going to push Ardour if your brains are wired for Live, but have you tried Bitwig?

(Tho Ardour has Clip Launchers now, wink wink)

I just finished the full soundtrack of a theatre play using AsahiLinux on my M2pro mbp. I resorted to macos only to render some heavy video tracks.

Ah again. One more moving target to chase for the nice AsahiLinux project.

Mbp sorry, not iPad :(

It is now based on fedora not arch, but the install process is the same

AsahiLina was at it yesterday, ultimately chasing Vulkan compatibility:

You’re not wrong. That’s why I kept a small macos partition to do the hard crunch when needed, like rendering in kdenlive. Everything else I can just do on Asahi, including Ardour multitrack exports.

I guess the 1st highest-voted feature request is a Linux client for Proton Drive?
