That already happens automagically and subconsciously. Your body is lazy, so it tries to use as little energy as possible for what you force it to do, and with movements repeated thousands of times, over time, it will find a way to do them

I only learned like 4-5 of those shapes, and kept restarting the game until I got one of those. :)

I mean, I was still learning how Matrix works, so it took some trial and error - especially voice/video calls - so a few days of reading docs and doing. Later, though, I stood up my own Matrix server, this time federated, and that only

I installed a Matrix homeserver (private, separate and non-federating) for our family at the start of the covid lockdowns, and we've been happily using it ever since. "Recommending" anything is pretty much worthless. Stand th

I feel pleasure when running out in nature, just alone, for myself. Every now and then, I join a race - be it a marathon or some other distance - but running in a race is not as pleasant. It is a completely different kind of experience, dif

You need to add a metric of "how many people can my software kill if it misbehaves", otherwise your point is moot.

You could run autossh as a systemd service that starts on boot. :-)

Did that code even apply to cartoons? I thought it didn't.

We've had this at the uni twenty years ago, in form of thin Linux workstations, connecting over XDMCP to a central server which served individual desktop sessions over the network.

Yes, the article is not bad, but it has nothing to do specifically with the Microsoft product it mentions in its title.

OK, is this a commercial for Github? Because none of the subject matter in the article has anything to do specifically with it.

I'm wary of using the asterisk in internet forums, or really in almost any textual exchange online these days, because everything tries to parse text as markdown, and I am never sure whether or not my asterisks will get eaten. Especial

There is a cool new subgenre in recent years called Solarpunk, which focuses on optimistic world-building. Some of it can come across as rather preachy regarding climate change, but there is some decent reading in there. My favourite so far

And that's how it should be. Centralized, "global" bridges are unwieldy and prone to problems.

For the record, irssi is still actively maintained and developed, but it is understaffed, and has a lot of technical debt standing in the way of some new features.

Sure, nightmare scenarios can happen, but how often do they, really? There are many successful FOSS projects who have teams of volunteers taking care of infrastructure in this way for years, if not decades, and how many bad situations have

Not demanding, sorry if it came out like that. :) Just a bit of constructive criticism. As for random volunteers disappearing, the protection against that is easy - increase the bus factor, by multiple people having necessary access, and by

You are correct, of course. If the project leadership does not see a value in using open infrastructure, of course it would look like additional (and unreasonable) demand. It's up to them.

If I had a serious interest in the project (more than, say, maybe sending a patch here and there to fix my pet peeve), I would definitely volunteer for something like that if there was a demand. That's something I quite enjoy, and am r

It is the platform of this day and age much like Instagram or Xitter is. Doesn't make it very smart for FOSS projects to be using it for their primary coordination and communication.

Yes, Tenerife is awesome, a different biome almost every few kilometers. I've been there hiking several times, and I always see something new!

Indeed. There can never be just one platform for project communication, because there are different kinds of communication - mostly sorted between synchronous and asynchronous. So, IRC, Matrix (these can even be interconnected) for synchron

Indeed. This is something I could see myself contributing to (or attempting to, anyway), but as soon as I saw Discord+Github, I lost all interest. Github I can understand to some extent, it's a convenient temporary staying place until

Doesn't that count as plain old fraud?

Yeah, I gave up after a few minutes. If you insist on wasting my time by packing almost each sentence in bombastic sounding oratory (and failing!), give me a transcript to read instead, or I'm out of here.

I've never played Riven nor Myst, because I just can't find a version or remake that wouldn't suck technically, but I just loved Quern, and one or two similar games I found since. One that stood out to me is "Odyssey - T
