I only have a couple of things in /opt/ and some manually installed fonts, and vim plugins in my home. Everything else that I don't use often lives in the original cloned git repo in /home/projects and never really

But it's one middle man less. Git repo have been attacked other times in the past, but a 500/1000 stars project still sounds more trustworthy than a user repository managed by randos with a couple of upvotes. I still use the aur f

I get it, but you only need to do that for the odd cases of packages not present in the official repo (not that common at all for me at least). Also if the software is downloaded in the form of a git repo, you only needed to checkout the ne

I cringed hard when some people started to make pacman wrappers that could install from AUR directly. I've installed stuff from the aur before but most of the times I prefer to skip the middleman and just navigate to the project websit

Oh looks like there is. mkv does and looks like mpv and vlc will respect that flag. For other formats I'm not so sure

That's considered a feature in the community. Burning subs on the video trace is considered bad, but most video player will not automatically show any subtitle track.

A lot of these higher-end sbc have been out-of-stock for a while now, I've been trying to find an o6 since a few months.

I will add to the list that for some weird reason in my country original language is not always available for all movies, and the subtitle experience in genenal is lacking.

That's the thing. You only have the cool factor, but that wears off very quickly when you are maintaining legacy code and tools and then your collegues are playing with the new hot and shiny toys. I won't write about the projects

I am no longer a junior, but would have been upset to be tasked with refreshing the old historical obsolete laundry (no matter how sacred or distinguished), expecially when I already had experience delivering safety critical products packin

Let it write unit tests for every single function in the codebase lol I've chosen the wrong profession.

The implication that eu is (rightfully) butthurt and don't what to relay on usa if there is the risk of meddling of any kind or blackmailed with denial of service (regardless if it makes sense here or not, this is entirely political).

It's owned by an American no-prrofit with a dedicated subsidiary, so still a commercial product and (more relevant) usa-based with all the potential implications. Wire is for profit but german-swiss.

I'm trying to design my own, and this project has been of great inspiration. But for mine I really would prefer to wait for the RK3668. My past experience with the current soc is that it's a tad too slow for many cases.

I remember a lot of online servers from the Jedi Knight series where people would spend a lot of time talking (well.. writing in chat), messing around, making friendly duels or exploring weird custom mmaps. It was kinda weird considering th

Nasa CFS, is written is plain C (trying to follow MISRA C, etc). It's open on girhub abd used by many companies. It's typically run over freertos or RTEMS, not sure here. Personally I find the project extremely messy, and kinda ha

In my company we used their stuff often. They have an optional commercial license for basically all their products. The price was very reasonable as well.

Jesus christ man, you are pulling out a lot from a single typo, eh? English is just not my first language (and not the last either). Having an accent or the occasional misspelling on some forum has never impacted me professionally.

The transformation has been very slow I believe. They didn't really intrude too much the first few years. But maybe I remember wrong.

Well I am calling out an entire class of journalist. Every time I've made a similar statement I got some angry answer (or got my post hidden or removed).

I have very strong, probably controversial, feeling on arstechnica, but I believe the acquisition from Condé Nast has been a tragedy. Ars writers used to be actual experts, sometimes even phd level, on technical fields. And they used to wri

I'm not making a statement on his arguments (well I dont agree with it, but that was not in my post). I posted that because I consider blogging a fringe form of journalism, and basic journalism ethics require clear disclosure of confli

I asked ai to summarise this blog post. Jokes aside it should be noted that the author is a founder and ceo of an AI company, not to mention an active investor in the sector. (All disclosed in his "about" page)

That's very nice to hear. But diffuclt to beat valve here, they are actively contributing to drivers and wine. When you buy even just windows software from steam you are helping funding that.

my impression is that other countries like Italy or France are much more consistent in what they are bad or good at. But it's possible it's just my personal bias.

Germany always surprise me with continuous contradiction in their society. Largest economy in eu but very unstable and riddled with wierd burocracy. Strongest worker protection, but very large amount of lobbysm. Most advanced railway system

I need to check, but you might be able to get as low as 500 or 1000 eur, expecially if you can give up the pci express and use the arm cpu in a zynq fpga as "host" instead of a x86 server.

Japan was already classified as "flawed democracy" for that reason and others. The likely reason for going even lower in that scale is the foundation of new parties that in some case goes as far ad calling for the restoration of t
