My #1 problem with man pages is when I want to search for a command flag in a long man page. If I search for "-f" then I get results for eg, --enable-feces, maybe a bunch of other flags with embedded fs, and a bunch of embedded ex

Given that they mentioned there was a small bit of corruption at one point in the video, I think photorec might even do a better job. My guess as to the cause of that corruption is that the file was slightly fragmented, but the fragments we

Personally, I use zfs on my home server. All my other machines rsync to a backups folder on there, and once a month a scheduled email reminds me to grab my backup usb hard drive and do a zfs send | recv to sync for an offline backup. If you

> My hunch is that reflects a growing set of emoji and support for hundreds (thousands?) of alphabets. It's hard to call that bloat. I find it incredibly easy to call emojis bloat.

Why even waste weight on battery at that point. That is a built in ups, not a portable device.

According to WSJ* index funds currently hold about 5% of the US stock market, and it seems likely that share will grow. How in the hell do you hold shareholders accountable under a system like that? This seems like a big problem already, an

I'm really happy with it. I don't heavily use my laptop, mostly only when traveling. The only problem I've had with it is I discovered recently that the built in microphone isn't working, but I never tried to use it unti

I bought a librem 13 years ago and got fucked on customs. ~500 Euros iirc. I completely forgot that import tax was a thing because I'd never had to pay it before, since I bought stuff from the EU, or that was too cheap to matter. I rem

I use and love Linux, but come on man, that kind of statement does not help. Even with proton and friends, wine is not perfect. There will most likely be problems, and it's not a one to one transition. However, in my opinion, it is wor

My point was to let them know that their site is not getting the point across effectively, not to ask what they do because I can't figure it out. I'm trying to be helpful, what exactly are you doing?

Every ryzen 3000 chip with an x570 board supports unregistered ecc. And earlier ryzens all have some support, but motherboard compatability is patchy. These are the most popular desktop chips on the market right now, so I wouldn't call

Side note, but I had a look at your company's website, and I wanted to let you know that it's really hard to tell what you actually do. The stuff about empowering people to make games made me think that you are a middleware or con

I've never had this problem, what is the use case? I've only ever used /usr/bin/env or /bin/bash, and can't think of a reason to do anything fancier. You would be hardcoding the full (presumably non s

Ludum dare is a weekend. This is a month, which is a big turnoff. Case in point: I made an entry for the most recent ludum dare jam, but I probably won't enter this one, because it's just way too long.

Why would you need directions to the workplace you go to every day? Unless you're doing onsite stuff in new places every day?

Sort of. I made a version of this game in 2017, "bored during pandemic" led to me cleaning it up for public release (and adding art assets).

Yes, show me what the game is. The main block of text I get after clicking is telling me the story of your company, I want to know what the game is, and see screenshots.

I’ve been working for the last while on a weird project idea, of a text adventure that you play by navigating folders in your file browser. I wanted to see how far I could push the concept without having any runtime code for tracking state.

I could never understand why someone would want security cameras inside their home. What is it for? It always struck me as a weird American paranoid thing. And just for the record, yes I have been burgled before.

I had exactly the same prejudice. "Shoot robot dinos with a bow and arrow" doesn't sound like a premise that could possibly have a decent underlying story, but they actually pulled it off.

I wrote a small python script, that I alias in my shell to "b" (for build). When I run it in a given directory, it prompts me for a command, if it doesn't have one already saved. Subsequent runs just run the saved command, bu
