Wow CNC rebec! Old tech meets new. I take it the fingerboard and tailpiece are also amaranth?

Wow never heard of this platform. RIP
Ah yes the “Full Self Driving” brand of limited autopilot requiring constant human supervision.
No more tricky than windows these days. Nice thing is there’s a lack of commercial BS - spyware, ads, unwanted apps etc. And pretty much no matter how old your computer gets, you can still run brand new linux on it.
Brother laser printer, black and white, ethernet connection. So fast, so reliable. Do you really NEED color? I find that its not that important, and if I need quality prints, like for photos, a 300$ printer isn’t going to cut it anyway.
Ha I never noticed the options search.
BeOS went under.
Ed: I was a huge apple fan, bought an apple clone from Power Computing. Then Apple revoked the licensing that allowed all the apple clone companies to exist. That’s when I went to BeOS which would run on my clone, and got a multicore intel machine too. When BeOS went under I tried Suse. Had kind of a sucky UI in my opinion, but I hung in there with linux as an alternative to windows and went Ubuntu/Debian/Arch/Nixos and I’m still on nixos now. Its pretty much my exclusive OS since I quit my job that required windows 5 or 6 years ago.
Do you expect your dog to explode with the force of 400 pounds of TNT?
Probably this article
Looking seriously at this one, especially because my main laptop has power/hinge problems. Waiting on verified linux support tho. Crazy that the thinkpad one is 1K more.
I kind of want to try wayland just to be modern, but I’m pretty happy with xmonad and don’t want to learn another window manager.
people being pedantic showoffs doesn’t really register as humor for me, TBH
What about plain old x = -10
?
-10 ^ 2 = 100
-10 ^ 3 = -1000
-10 ^ 5 = -100000
I hear you, its great for most cases, but when a package isn’t available or downloads binaries that depend on hfs it sucks. I’ve been going through hell with android dev lately and am currently doing my compiles on debian, lol.
I think nixos is still niche, but seems to be gaining momentum. It has some unique features:
There are certainly downsides - poor docs, confusing core language. Instructions for installing something on say debian will not work on nixos. I do think this style of package management is the future, if perhaps not this specific implementation. It can be a pain but its also super solid.
ok where these files at?
Kind of off topic, but you know what would be cool? If you had an ‘man explain’ command that would define all the flags/args in a command, like:
man explain rsync --append-verify --progress -avz -e "ssh -p 2222" root@$dip:/sdcard/DCIM/Camera newphonepix
Would give you:
rsync - a fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool
--append-verify --append w/old data in file checksum
--progress show progress during transfer
--archive, -a archive mode is -rlptgoD (no -A,-X,-U,-N,-H)
--verbose, -v increase verbosity
--compress, -z compress file data during the transfer
--rsh=COMMAND, -e specify the remote shell to use
etc.
The author seems dead set on a tauri calendar implementation. I came across what is apparently a scheduling toolkit in rust:
https://github.com/fmeringdal/nettu-scheduler
Which I guess could be used to build a desktop calendar app. One flaw in the ointment is that a calendar program really needs email integration. Downloading an ICS file and manually transferring that over to your calendar app isn’t going to cut it.
Which brings us to the lack of solid calendar servers. I’ve searched but I haven’t found anything popular, OSS, easy to install, and useful for groups. Radicale exists but multi user support is a janky hack, while Nextcloud has unreliable sync. I’m looking for features like:
Whoa, better make sure all my pwds are in keepass! Didn’t know the fines were so hefty for that.
