  • Embrace, Extend, Ex…

  • I wonder if these LSP Plugins work for Reaper on a Mac or Windows, gonna try it out but I expect it will have issues

  • I’d love to be able to take this guy to the future, maybe 200 years from now. Then show him the barren wasteland that is where his home once was and tell him this is what happens when you underestimate your impact on the climate. Might not cause you problems now but your progeny will live in filth.

  • The media takes a press release, signs off on it and releases it usually word for word a lot. They’ll put their name and brand on it, but that’s a honest to goodness press release.

    This article might be a blend, strange that at least on mobile I can’t find an author for this one.

  • Yeah I didn’t offer much input on personal devices because I did use Ubuntu for awhile as a personal environment and it’s fine, but could use work. I think personally I like Debian better, but if I want a clean GNOME experience Fedora is probably the move.

  • If Debian is not great as a desktop distro, it’s at the very least remarkably stable as a server distro. The sentiment extends somewhat to Ubuntu LTS. It could be better, but in terms of uptime and just working I can’t fault either distro.

  • A friend of mine worked in a position I would have assumed was considered vital to one of Unity’s products, in fact to my knowledge they were the only one keeping that part running. Apparently the higher-ups were able to lay them off without much hesitation this time around. The company seems to be leaking hard.

  • It is entirely possible to start with a 2-bay drive rack (not a caddy, we want something without the connections) and then run the SATA out the back of the computer to the drives. It’s a compromise for this low a budget, but it’s not a major sacrifice.

  • That think center looks perfect for this use case. Especially if it’s running Debian or arch.

  • Older thinkpads in this price range will not perform well as servers. They will be pretty limited in specs. Better to go with a used SFF or other form-factor business model desktop.

  • I’ve been using ArchiveBox, this looks a bit more feature-full than ArchiveBox although it seems like ArchiveBox has been pretty stable. Anyone have experience with both, can vouch for the pros and cons?

    I may take some time to compare the two. After taking another look at Linkwarden I get the impression it may handle archiving pages differently than ArchiveBox, which isn’t a bad thing it may just not fit the usage of everyone who uses ArchiveBox. The presentation and UI look really good, which is something I find ArchiveBox suffers a bit from.

  • You can create a webhook in Discord and in Matrix that will share messages in channels back and forth

  • I think there’s a couple of market motivations to not make phones with replaceable batteries.

    The first, most enticing is definitely gating repairs. Now that right-to-repair laws are picking up steam, that one is starting to fall apart.

    The second one is minification, they want to make smaller phones, more lightweight phones, and unibody constructions make that goal easier. You have to incorporate seals and locking mechanisms on a battery door if you want to achieve the same level of water-resistance current unibody phones have. This one is also flimsy, they could design a smaller phone with these features if they wanted to put money into R&D for it, but they likely currently don’t care enough.

    The last one is brand integrity. Apple specifically has a design language that many customers are familiar with, if they drastically change and break apart their design with big changes it could have an impact on how customers view the company. This one is probably the most ambiguous, I’m sure Apple has determined over 20 years the level of impact changing designs too much in a generation can have on their bottom line, they likely wouldn’t suffer much. Until this point there hasn’t been much motivation for them to do this.

  • Yeah, once you work in Linux for so long seeing someone ask about curl missing is really easy to take for granted that we all started there, we’ve all been fresh on Linux. A lot of people take pride in their experience, but they shouldn’t lord it over those who are learning to advance themselves. It’s completely counter to why Linux even exists.

  • You’re trying to run a .bat file on Linux that’s written specifically for Windows installs. Usually .bat is run on Windows, .sh on Linux. If you have a .sh file, use that instead. If there is no .sh equivalent you may be able to tweak the .bat to run on Linux, but I don’t know if that’s a reasonable path forward or not depending on how much Windows logic is in that file.

  • I’m almost afraid to answer this question.

    The rock from the 60s and 70s got ubiquitously considered classic rock by the early 90s, but I wouldn’t classify anything beyond the early 80s as “classic”. I think that the genre may expand with time, but the 60s and 70s were the true origins of rock. The music past that is definitely not new, but not “classic”.

    I guess that makes my answer G.

    Edit: From a marketing perspective, I’m about to cringe hard, music up to the mid-90s is considered classic rock. To me that seems like it’s just an easy way to keep “classic rock” more entertaining and nostalgic for the older markets, and more relevant for the younger ones.

  • RIP Terry Davis, Temple OS forever

  • This mindset is good, but unfortunately enforces bad programmers to leave their undocumented code in critical places where someone eventually has to figure out what the hell they were doing or refactor the whole damn thing because they got promoted to middle-management and can’t remember why they even wrote it.

  • Is there a community or database where people have tested different plugins on Linux either natively or with Wine to see if they can get things working?
