Finde ich cool, gerade auch weil's so ein bisschen schon kuratiert ist, einfach nur weil die Leute nicht jeden Schrottladen eintragen.
Wenn man halt in eine Suchmaschine "knalltüte online-shop" eintippt, dann kommen teilweise die üblichen Verdächtigen, teilweise dann aber auch knalltüten24.de, wo man sich einfach nur denkt, Leute, ihr könnt mir nicht erzählen, dass ihr nur Knalltüten verkauft und sich das rechnet.
Die mittelgroßen/regionalen Online-Shops findet man leider oft nur mit Glück, oder indem man bei den üblichen Verdächtigen schaut, wer deren Vertriebspartner ist.

What are some examples where the more you know about the world, the better it seems?

Jump

Ephera @lemmy.ml 15h ago

Yeah, I was gonna specifically pick out biology. Feels like the more you know about it, the cooler it gets to just head outside and look at critters. Kind of like Pokémon, but real.

Would it be possible to hack a smoke detector to make it play a little jingle?

Jump

Ephera @lemmy.ml 15h ago

I would guess that the units used in smoke alarms and microwaves generally have integrated drivers that only operate at a single frequency.

Yeah, you could more easily create a rhythm than a full melody. If you get a few devices, which beep at different frequencies each, you could do a lot more by having them beep in succession and in intervals.

Of course, this requires that they're roughly in tune, which may not be the case at all. 🥴

A sneaky demonstration of the dangers of curl bash

Jump

Ephera @lemmy.ml 15h ago

Most developers I’ve looked at would happily just paste the curl|bash thing into the terminal.

I mean, I typically see it used for installing applications, and so long as TLS is used for the download, I'm still not aware of a good reason why you should check the Bash script in particular in that case, since the application itself could just as well be malware.

Of course, it's better to check the Bash script than to not check it, but at that point we should also advise to download the source code for the application, review it and then compile it yourself.At some point, you just have to bite the bullet and I have not yet seen a good argument why the Bash script deserves special treatment here...

Having said that, for cases where you're not installing an application, yeah, reviewing the script allows you to use it, without having to trust the source to the same degree as you do for installing an application.

made my first bash file to make yt-dlp easier

Jump

Ephera @lemmy.ml 19h ago

One thing that will become important pretty quick if you continue making these scripts is that it’s almost always better to wrap your variables in quotes - so it becomes yt-dlp -x “$a”.

Oh man, this reminds me of the joke that any program that's more complex than Hello World has bugs – and folks still don't even agree how to spell "Hello, World!".

Of course, Bash is a particular minefield in this regard...

Der wahre Engpass: Warum schnelleres Coden mit KI Projekte nicht beschleunigt

Jump

Ephera @lemmy.ml 1d ago

Joa, habe TDD nie als Dogma gelernt, sondern aus der Praxis, also kann gut sein, dass das was ich kenne ein pragmatischerer Ansatz ist.

Für mich war immer der relevante Aspekt, dass man eben nicht einfach drauf loscodet, sondern sich vorher Gedanken macht, was die Anforderungen sind, was wiederum eine Grundvoraussetzung für sinnvolles Design ist, daher hat mich eure Beschwerde gerade etwas überrascht...

Ephera @lemmy.ml 1d ago

Das entspricht so gar nicht meiner Vorstellung von TDD. Für mich ist TDD, dass man sich explizit vorher Gedanken macht und diese in einer Spezifikation niederschreibt. Die Spezifikation wird dabei in Form von Unit- und Integrationstests verfasst, damit automatisch geprüft werden kann, dass der Code der Spezifikation entspricht.

Keyboard latency

Jump

Ephera @lemmy.ml 1d ago

Yeah, so many people swear by mechanical keyboards with a huge amount of key travel, and I never see it discussed that the key travel itself is problematic.

Ephera @lemmy.ml 2d ago

Yeah, always found that interesting, how a talent can play out in two ways:

You get feedback from the outside that your talent is exceptional and you show it to everyone.
Or you don't get that feedback, you kind of just assume that everyone is as good as you are, and that your talent is not worth showing. By not showing it, you continue to not get feedback on it and may not realize for quite some time.

Ephera @lemmy.ml 2d ago

Man, I really hate how much they waffle. The only valid response is "You have to drive, because you need your car at the car wash in order to wash it".

I don't need an explanation what kind of problem it is, nor a breakdown of the options. I don't need a bulletpoint list of arguments. I don't need pros and cons. And I definitely don't need a verdict.

switched back to KDE and don't regret

Jump

Ephera @lemmy.ml 3d ago

Did you try on KDE since Plasma 6 came out? It introduced a native, manual tiling mechanism, which just needs to be configured by a KWinscript to make it automatic, so it still feels native when you resize the tiles. I'm pretty happy with Krohnkite these days either way...

Jump

Ephera @lemmy.ml 3d ago

Yeah, it likely won't support that any time soon, because it's incompatible with Extended Window Manager Hints standard.

Having said that, Plasma 6.6 (which just came out) allows for having only a single virtual desktop on non-primary monitors, which is all I wanted, personally...

KDE Plasma can do that, too, via a KWinscript: https://codeberg.org/anametologin/Krohnkite 🙃

On a more serious note, this is a genuine recommendation. I've been using Krohnkite and similar scripts for a few years now, and they're absolutely fine, especially since Plasma 6 introduced a native, manual tiling mechanism, which they just have to configure.Especially for newbies wanting to try out tiling window management, without having to figure out a minimalist environment like a bare window manager, this is a great entrypoint IMHO.
