Everything I know about trombones I know from the game Trombone Champ. It's a good game for every aspiring trobonist (or people just remotely interested in music-related video games)

Time to switch to Windows! yay! Where all of this stuff just works: HDR, remote desktop, gaming, Picture-in-Picture, ... all the stuff that Wayland devs are too stupid to get done correctly /s (maybe?)

at least FreeBSD does already have Wayland. It has a few more hiccups and rough edges than on Linux (at least from my PoV on running it on an older laptop) but otherwise it works fine. Here is a short setup guide on how to get it working ra

funny you say that, given that the SteamDeck (the largest/most popular Linux-based gaming console) runs on KDE on Wayland.....

crazy, I really did not know that. Do you happen to know if such boards also exist that take registered DDR3 RAM? None of them explicitly call out DDR3-R RAM so I assume they only take consumer RAM?

by dark-star 4mo ago
Something doesn't add up here. As someone who has only recently built a home-server from an E5-26xx v2 on DDR3 RAM (because I have a sh*tload of 32g DDR3 DIMMs), I can confidently say that the newer cores (E5-26xx v3 and v4) only run o

If malicious AI has replaced the sudo binary, then it can already run arbitrary code as root. No need to "collect your password" then

This is a recent trend in open-source though: - people avoiding systemd like it's the plague - people avoiding wayland because it is devil's work - people avoiding rsync because someone used AI on the testcases - ...

Unions are not there to protect companies from mismanagement or simply failing/going bancrupt.

I'm pretty sure you didn't design, assemble and field-terminate DAC cables. These are not regular RJ45 or DB25 serial cables, which you can assemble in the field. I have never heard of the possibility to field-assemble DAC cables.

The problem with Gnutella was that it was always slower than the direct competitor, EDonkey (aka EMule, aka ed2k, aka Kademlie later, etc.) Searching took ages (if you got any results back at all), and when you tried to download something i

Wait, what's with those suicide doors? Weren't they, considered to be super dangerous? Will this car pass the safety regulations in the EU with those doors?

I would love to see someone on CuriousMarc's, TubeTime's or Usagi's level of dedication get all that and rebuild/reconstruct it. Maybe if all the technology geeks of YouTube got together they could reconstruct one of tho

that might be true, yes, but still: the burden of proof (that "github is dying") lies with the original poster. A statement like "last week, these 3 big projects left GitHub" is not that

That "everyone" is just a small, vocal community if you look at the total numbers of repos on GitHub (which is still climbing)[1] Yes, I understand that people are upset about the Copilot issues and maybe even the "frequent&q

unlikely, as I have also successfully tried domains that I never visited before (at least not in the last 12 months) and according to my PiHole log they were successfully retrieved from 1.1.1.1. and/or 8.8.8.8, which should use DNSSEC

by dark-star 5mo ago
maybe? I'm using PiHole and 8.8.8.8/1.1.1.1 as upstream, and both options show "DNSSEC" next to their options in settings, so I assumed DNSSEC was enabled (unless I have to enable this somewhere else as well?)

I gave you an upvote, since you'll probably be downvoted into oblivion soon :-D All those "GitHub is dead" and "GitHub will crumble soon" cries are massively exaggerating things. Most users probably won't even

> crumble as an organization I think that is exaggerating things a bit... GitHub is alive and well, and they're hosting more and more projects each month. A few well-known projects leaving every now and then doesn't exactly spe

I didn't say it was practical. But it definitely made more sense than this "meow" crap.

Why does iterm2 need to know the shell and/or python versions on the other side? What happens if the othe side is a system that doesn't "understand" its bootstrap script (like a network switch or just some weird shell)?

At first glance this looks like a joke. But if you look closer, it looks really workable (well, maybe except those "mandatory NIC-enforced security" bits) I'm hoping someone will be brave (or stupid) enough to actually implem

Just putting this here for people who never heard of him: If you like Asimov's short stories, you might also like Robert Sheckley's short stories. I had a phase where I binged on sci-fi short stories, and Sheckleys and Asimov&#x27
