(#4nxp4mq) (Mandatory post appreciating Angela Gossow, previous vocalist of āArch Enemyā until Alissa took over. She was a pioneer in metal vocals and one of the first women to make it big time doing harsh growled vocals. Nowadays we have lots of female vocalists who do this kind of stuff ā maybe/probably thanks to her ā, which is a big plus for the genre. š¤)
(#4nxp4mq) I found this while watching a two hour long interview of Alissa White-Gluz (who appears to be a great person). āMe And That Manā is the side project of Nergal, vocalist of āBehemothā. Vocals in āGoodbyeā are done by Alissa, obviously, and Devin Townsend.
My new favorite bass line. Simple, but super groovy. š„°šø // Me And That Man - Goodbye // https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbMQuvgcSS4 #NowPlaying
(#jf2zkia) @prologic@twtxt.net Something is weird with @stigatle@twtxt.netās account. You guys keep interacting with him, but https://twtxt.net/user/stigatle/twtxt.txt yields a HTTP 404. š¤
(#dmkicsa) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thatās correct! š
(#dmkicsa) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Half a year has passed since I posted the last video ā because I only posted the first half last time. š
@mckinley@mckinley.cc Ah, damn, I keep forgetting about the pixfmt option. Itās a bit annoying that ffmpegās default isnāt usable in Firefox ā¦
(#fv2iaoa) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, yeah, JS is a no-go, as is most of CSS. You can at least do something without CSS and sometimes pages still work without JS, but without crypto, nothing works. Not even IRC anymore. š
(#zrbqxza) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Interestingly, the W3C validator complains, too:
https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fbucci.onl%2Fabout.html
The character encoding was not declared. Proceeding using windows-1252.
That comment at the beginning of the file might confuse things?
(#dmkicsa) Here are some ideas for the next version of this video:
(#dmkicsa) Fun fact: I wrote a little Rust program to do the image crossfading. It takes a minute to compile this program. It also takes a minute to fully render the small version of the video, including ImageMagick, ffmpeg, and everything. š„“
Alright, here we go, itās been a year now. I have a camera sitting in one of the windows, it takes a shot every day. Hereās a timelapse video:
(#fv2iaoa) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Errr, this is on my current machine running Linux 5.18.16. š (The challenge was about limiting/tracking your online time: https://dataswamp.org/~solene/2022-07-10-old-computer-challenge-v2-day1.html )
(Actually using old computers and old software for every day life is not that much fun, Iāve found. You canāt do anything related to the Internet, basically: None of the old crypto works anymore. So you can do Gopher and visit websites of enthusiasts who still offer HTTP, but thatās it.)
(#fv2iaoa) (Not that kernel bugs like those were acceptable. But itās better than broken hardware.)
š„µš„µš„µ Fuck me. š„µš„µš„µ
(#goes62q) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org No argument there, the name is very weird. š
(#fv2iaoa) After more testing: Iām beginning to think that Iām hit by an issue in memtest86 itself:
Only the test called āblock moveā failed and only when the SMT mode was set to āall coresā. So far, no issues with āround robinā. Oh, and Iāve now seen the issue on all slots and all modules.
So why was I seeing kernel panics then? Thereās another possibility: My issues started right when I started that āold computer challengeā. I was starting/stopping my networking interface a lot and almost all freezes happened while starting it (one kernel panic happened while the system was shutting down and I unplugged some USB device). So itās at least possible that these are just kernel bugs. š¤
Since the āold computer challengeā wasnāt very enlightening anyway, Iām going to abort that now and see if the system stabilizes. And/or run isolated tests to see if starting/stopping the NIC repeatedly causes kernel panics.
(#goes62q) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Maybe I misunderstood you last time. š¤
Hereās how I do it:
First, I have read_marker_always_show = on
. If you canāt tell what /input set_unread
does, you probably have this option set to off
.
The marker tells me: āI have read all messages up to this point.ā Looks like this:
Doing /input set_unread
now moves this marker to the bottom:
Hence new messages will be shown below again:
When Iām in the middle of a conversation, I ignore this marker altogether. Only when I leave the room for a minute or something, then Iāll probably do /input set_unread
(^S^U
) to move it. Itās a very manual process (maybe you can move the marker automatically after a certain idle time or something), but it works fine for me.
(#c2eqblq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Hereās the only thing I have: I took a note of the days where it was āreally hotā, like 30°C and above. That was one week in 2021. For 2022, weāre already in the third āhotā week.
(Yeah, itās not a very scientific method. Maybe Iāll dig up the official records of last year ⦠assuming theyāre made public?)
(#fv2iaoa) @prologic@twtxt.net Thought so, too, but how would it have gotten there in the first place? I saw a couple of weird kernel panics, so I ran memtest86 and it showed errors. Only then did I even open the computerās case. š¤
(#kkj2c7q) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Itās a cute tool, isnāt it? š
I thought there was a free GeoIP DB somewhere ⦠but dunno, they change their terms and conditions all the time. 𫤠Apparently, this DB is a little bit of a cash cow.
(#c2eqblq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Last year was surprisingly cool and rainy, but this year weāre back to ānormalā ā¦ š„µ Gonna get worse every year. Planetās fucked.
Uhhhh ⦠A RAM slot just died. š¤ Not the actual memory chips but the slot itself. I havenāt touched my RAM in years. š¤Ø
(#7ojxp4q) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Wahaha. :-)
Reminds me of a story about my favorite math teacher (as told by my other favorite math teacher ā hm, not sure, did I ever not like one of those guys?): This wasnāt punch card programming anymore, but āpersonal computersā were no where near, let alone fast ones, so they had to book time on the big computer at the university. The dude wrote his program, submitted it, it ran over the weekend. When he checked on monday, the results were printed and ready to collect: Heaps and heaps of paper, all sheets showing hundreds of ā0ā. :-) He was henceforth known as ādie Supernullā. <3
(#goes62q) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org As for 1), I have a keybind ctrl-Sctrl-U = "/input set_unread"
. š¤
(#wg2w67a) @retrocrash@twtxt.net Now Iām curious. Do you have a link? Couldnāt find the guy.
(#wg2w67a) @retrocrash@twtxt.net Whoās that? š¤ Do I want to know? š
(#oxgwviq) @mckinley@twtxt.net I got a 50 MBit/s link, so about 7.5 GB. š„“
@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, twtxt is probably the easiest part. š I have a completely async setup anyway, e.g. I write replies āofflineā and then push them all in one go.
Going to do āThe Old Computer Challenge v2ā soon: https://dataswamp.org/~solene/2022-07-01-oldcomputerchallenge-v2-rtc.html
tl;dr:
Use the internet (a bit) like it was in the 90āies, i.e. only connect for very brief amounts of time. I think 20 minutes a day was already quite a lot for us. It would be total madness to also limit the available bandwidth to the speed of a 56k modem, so thatās not part of the experiment.
Iāll write about the experiment in my gopher hole.
(#mkfgfeq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Hmm, this says:
Can We Replace the Text Encoding Menu with a Single Menu Item?
Most likely yes [ā¦]āØ
But there are a lot more factors at play than just telemetry. š¤ Havenāt read through all of this, either ā¦
Apparently, the autodetection was deemed āgood enoughā to remove the manual selection?
I still donāt understand why the menu item is disabled. Itās even disabled on plaintext files. So ⦠? š¤Ø
(#s7zkyba) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Hmm ⦠StackOverflow pretty much never answers my questions ā but it often nudges me in the right direction. So itās still quite helpful.
Iāve never posted a question there, though, nor an answer. š
(#3mkhmda) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org We got a bit of rain just now. It felt like a lot, but it was just a short amount of time. No fires here ⦠Yeah, pretty bad whatās going on in East Germany. š«¤
(#zxvfzja) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Hm, yeah. Iām probably a bit spoiled. š (Aside from being too naive and too trusting.) In my current company, there is no traditional āfirst level supportā that just talks to the customers and has basically no idea what theyāre saying. Sure, there are different ātiersā and different sets of skills among the teams, but there are no āsupport monkeysā. When customers open tickets, they pretty much immediately get to tech-savvy people, who are actual devs/sysadmins (or at least worked as such in the past, as far as I know).
Probably quite unusual in this field. š¤ But I wouldnāt really know, Iāve only seen three companies in the IT field and Iāve been with the current one for a good decade, so ā¦
I had the impression that there was a slight war between development and support. [ā¦] the POs didnāt listen to improvements and suggestions on how to make things easier for the support team
Oof, thatās harsh. š³
(#km4x6wq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Wird auch mal Zeit! š
(#qqdqrzq) Ha, nice, got a piece of plastic as a protective shield now:
Itās a bit of packaging from a food item, so this doesnāt go right to the bin for once. š
