Funny thing is now I started liking season 5 after my last watch.

Then moving to the next city series, Treme, and the same issues are there with New Orleans. Though the series puts much more focus on music and musicians, that somehow can be momentarily outside of this system just to get sucked in again. T

I'm not completely sure was it planned, but Stringer Bell was a character who attended community college, got his food from an organic food market, didn't want to be connected with the street. Almost like "coastal elite"

Podcast is also available on Spotify and it's been a great listen on my morning runs. Is there any other similar podcasts I should listen? Especially on culture that is outside of my white European sphere?

When I first started watching The Wire, I had to use subtitles. The slang for a non-native was almost impenetrable. Now after I've watched the whole series four or five times (I don't remember anymore), I can quote every scene and

This would work if `Integer` would implement the `Copy` trait. But I guess that type is heavy enough for it to be too expensive, therefore forcing you to explicitly call `clone()`.

You can install a homekit connector to home assistant, which has then great Android integration. No need to lock yourself to any garden. I use HASS with homekit, all kinds of zigbee devices and a german xml-rpc protocol for heating, all ope

I was trying to look for what channel I used back in the days I needed to write so called half-async code, but I can't find it anymore. If I remember correctly, at least the 0.1 version of futures had a channel with the other end being

You can make libraries runtime agnostic, but it requires a bit of design to get right. We tried our best with Tiberius[0], so you just need to provide an object implementing the AsyncRead and AsyncWrite traits from the futures crate, such a

The fifth season of The Wire goes this through. The story is more important than the facts...

It's all good! Happy that we have many open source distros to choose from. I've used Linux since 1995, and have always a soft spot for Debian based distros. For some weird reason though, Arch has been my main driver for some years
764.
by pimeys 6y ago
For me, why I like Arch is its package system and how easy it is to have the most recent libraries and tools for gaming. I also like Ubuntu and I've used NixOS in the past. What I don't miss from Ubuntu are the PPA's, AUR is

It has been much better for the past 5+ years, but what I did with my workstation is I installed Arch into a btrfs file system. Now when I `pacman` whatever, it'll create a snapshot first and then run the updates. If anything breaks, I

Waiting to get an M1 with a custom motherboard, a fast GPU and Arch Linux installed. I doubt that'll happen with Apple, but I suspect in a few years we have some other ARM CPU that has integrated RAM and competes with M1. For now, a Ry

If you don't use the computer in a while, like my office workstation when needing to stay home, `pacman -Syyu` packet upgrade might be painful after six months. Otherwise it's the distro I'm having the least amount of problem

Exactly this. And why I nowadays only use open source software is that I know my experience stays the same for good. I use i3 because it works just like it worked 10 years ago. I don't need a new experience with every release, new grap

Almost like reading my story... I used to be all in on Apple, using their iMac G4 and later on the Intel iMacs at home, but needed a beefier machine. So when I started in a new job, instead of getting a macBook, I asked the company IT to bu

I have an old ThinkPad X230 with a WWAN modem. Installed OpenBSD to it and it just works as a nice small travel laptop. The model is from year 2013.

Better not to give it a public internet access, or put a pihole to the network, because it really likes to send diagnostics back to Philips...

by pimeys 6y ago
Also systems like Philips Hue use ZigBee protocol. We have Hue lights at home and I'm planning to plug a ConBee II to my router for the Home Assistant to see how well I can run the lights with another hub. Philips Hue hub talks to diag

That's what I've figured out too. A while ago I started blocking port 443 to known DoH servers to prevent any machine from internal network bypassing the pihole. I expect televisions, smart lights and many other IoT devices to sta

Can DoH be used to bypass home DNS servers, such as the pihole?

I've been playing games such as Spelunky 2, Hades and Divinity: Original Sin 2 on Arch Linux with Steam/Proton, and it works seamlessly without any issues. I have Windows still just in case for some games, but I haven't boote

Did you use their closed source drivers or the ones provided in the kernel? I've been just using Arch Linux and the mainline kernel with the OSS AMD drivers, and everything's super good and solid since last year when I got the wor

Having RX 580 at work and it's way nicer with Linux compared to whatever NVIDIA offers. The 6900 XT will definitely replace my 2080Ti.

The problem what I see with serverless, is if you need to store your state into a database, the classic relational systems will not scale well to the problem. pbBouncer[0] in transaction mode tries to solve the problem of limited connection

I'm also very interested on giving my 2080 Ti to my partner (a Windows user) and getting the fastest next gen Radeon to myself.

I've been using Arch for at least 10 years now, but my home workstation is for some reason Ubuntu. Been thinking of updating to Arch there too, but this time using ZFS and doing snapshots before any update. Now when the next gen Radeon
