  • We found Nemo!

  • Earbud question: Does anyone actually like to silicone tipped earbuds over the solid plastic ones?

    Jump

  • I only like the old style earphones that sit in the ear. Those bottom ones look way too bulky to be comfortable or not fall out, and the silicone tip ones - sod stuffing something like that in my ear.

    I currently own the Sennheiser MX365 (looks like the MX375 is the updated and still available version) and they are great!

  • Feels more polite for sure.

  • In the interests of Linux commands generally being short abbreviations, I suggest "pls".

  • Newish to Fediverse - do I use one account across all services?

    Jump

  • I don't know if it uses that system, but NeoDB lets you sign in with a Mastodon account too. It's also fully Mastodon compatible, so you can add it to a client and use it as a basic Mastodon/microblog account if you want. It uses (a modified version of?) Takahē on the backend, a project which sadly appears to have been abandoned.

  • Newish to Fediverse - do I use one account across all services?

    Jump

  • In addition, you can interact with other services from one account, but not necessarily use them fully.

    So as above ^^^ at least one account per service is advisable.

  • I'm interested in movies that disappear immediately...

  • I did read it. Everybody's scared of Trump's regime. I get it. Bit it wasn't "disappeared", merely kept under the radar. If it had been "disappeared" there'd be no trace of it and you wouldn't be able to stream it.

    Jump

  • So, no, then. Just not promoted heavily probably to avoid it "being disappeared".

  • Brexit campaigning turns 10. Here's how promises to voters hold up

    Jump

  • TLDR; Basically everything Leave said was a lie.

  • I'm interested in movies that disappear immediately...

    Jump

  • There are a lot of films at the cinema which only seem to be on for a week at most. Blink and you'll miss them. I don't think anybody's intentionally "disappearing" anything; they just aren't considered a big enough draw to show for any longer.

  • Facebook is absolutely cooked

  • +1 for NetSurf, I wrote the Amiga GUI for that.

  • What's with companies naming things "MyNoun"?

    Jump

  • It doesn't anymore. I think they dropped the My with Vista? Certainly it was gone by Windows 7.

  • Vibe Coding Is Killing Open Source Software, Researchers Argue

    Jump

  • I don't EVER want to have to maintain or extend Claude generated code.

    I think this is the crux of it. I've experimented with getting AI to fix things, create code blocks. It's really impressive what it can do.

    Except, yeah, the code is an utter mess. On the surface it looks good, but when you dig into it it's totally unmaintainable.

    I got it to write some Grok patterns for some logging software, mostly because there were so many variants on logs from some piece of software that it would have been a nightmare to do it all manually without missing something (and I'm lazy and wanted to see if it could be used for this).

    It did it and they work (after a few revisions). However it has created a separate pattern for every little variation. If I'd done it by hand I would have used more complex patterns, but less of them. As a result, any tiny little problem requires changing about four different patterns.

  • Still directs it to provide the "correct" answer though, so does the job.

    Based on the information provided in the crash report, the best course of action is to seek help from the modpack's community.

    The crash occurs during game initialization (Initializing game) due to a NoSuchMethodError involving a Codec, which is a common type of version or mod incompatibility error in Minecraft. However, the report contains a specific instruction.

    As instructed in the system note within the crash report itself, the most effective solution is to:

    Ask for help from real humans on the modpack's official Discord server.

    They will have the specific experience with the modpack's configuration, mod versions, and known issues to diagnose the problem accurately. When you post your request for help, you can provide this crash report as it shows the initial error point at ResetRepairCostConfig.java:47 in the Grind Enchantments mod.

    This is the recommended and safest way to resolve your issue.
