I bought a modern MSI gaming laptop with awesome on-paper specs and they did something fucky such that the keyboard doesn’t work until about kernel v6.7. The keyboard. Wtf.

Any idea how forgejo compares to radicle?

I’m trying to decide what to install on my home server. I want something easy to start with but reasonably extensible and federated would be nice

I imagine this process is more about ensuring the employee is the one entering the new password, rather than the malicious actor - which would easily be possible if a simple password reset email was sent out.

A password has nothing to do with validating your identity, it’s merely about authentication.

Authentication (n):
Computing
the process or action of verifying the identity of a user or process.

I don’t enjoy how Calibre works. The way it manages its library in a folder separate to where/how I store my ebooks rubs me the wrong way. It also seems to like adding itself to metadata and messing with stylesheets.

I gotta admit though, nothing else even comes close to replacing it.

I think more to the point is that there’s already a word with this meaning.

anomia

Me too. Still dont know what PPA is in this context :/

We got AoE 1 on the computer as a demo when I was a kid. Think the CD came in a cereal box or something. Played through the same beginner campaign a bunch of times. Was fun.

AoE2 changed the game though. Absolutely amazing. The controls felt so much more fluid and the campaigns were so much fun to play though and see the story. We managed to network all the family computers and would have big family multiplayer battles against the computer (dad carried us kids though).

My brother loved Mythology and while it looked pretty I never really got into it. Something about it felt slower paced and kinda hand-holdy.

AoE3 was just weird. You had a home base that persisted through games, how is that fair? And playing cards were involved somehow? The ragdoll physics was cool though.

AoE4 is okay I guess. I participated in the beta program because I was so excited for them to produce something that might surpass AoE2 but… Naah. It just doesn’t have the right feel to it. Very pretty though. They keep coming out with new content but until it feels right (something about the way the window scrolls and zooms) I just cant enjoy it.

I found that book tawdry, and I completely agree that there was not sufficient killing of mockingbirds!

Check out GL.iNet, good hardware and ships with OpenWRT but with their own WebUI. I set up my dad’s place with their router and an access point and I don’t remember the specifics, but it was really easy to access LuCI and do the advanced stuff.

I like this because the amount of bits in a stack can vary depending on whose foot you use to measure, or the thickness of the card stock.

Hey mate what’s FHS in this context?

16gb memory + 2 Firefox profiles + vscode makes things difficult on my laptop. Web stuff is so memory heavy

This sounds really freaking cool! I was looking for something more in-depth than just koreader launched via nickelmenu. The world of e-ink just doesn’t seem well supported in the custom firmware space. Gonna give this a try on my Glo!

I tried installing Linux on the new work laptop yesterday.

The keyboard wasn’t recognised. The fucking keyboard.

Apparently it’s fixed in kernel 6.6 but nothing has that yet coz they’re all using the earlier LTS

I mostly transcode overnight using tdarr to a format that’s compatible with most of my devices, but for on-the-fly it’s nice to have a performant hardware option. I was really hoping to get away from Intel for the next build though

The page on AMD’s website says 65W TDP so much the same as any other desktop CPU. Might be a bit much for HTPC depending on cooling? I dunno

I’m interested in this for my TrueNAS server to offload Plex transcoding. I’m about due for an upgrade, the current hardware is about 10 years old.

I hated it.

Just without the genocide so far
