neidu2,

When I still did karate we had these boards that were meant for kicking so they’d split. A training buddy and I were curious if they could be punched apart. I learned two things that day:

  • Yes
  • Knuckles don’t like that

While it wasn’t very painful at firat, beyond what I expected, it took me a few days to realize that the pain didn’t really go away. Then I happened to bump my fist/knuckles into this aluminium plate at work by accident, and it felt like my knuckles were hit with a hammer. And I didn’t even bump into it hard. This time the pain slowly went away over time until it one day was conpletely gone.

But to this day, 10 years later, f i accidentally bang my knuckles against something hard I notice very quickly that something isn’t quite how it should be.

neidu2,

Beer in an airport lounge, and no.
Tomorrow it will be beer in a hotel lobby, which is what I’m looking forward to.

neidu2,

Waiting at the first airport right now. There’s no beer here though, as it’s a tiny local airport with only a vending machine. But in about two hours I’ll be landing at a larger regional one. As I’m a very frequent flier this means lounge access and free beer during my three hour wait.

It will not. Xfsdump only dumps the xfs partition, and any mountpoints are treated as empty folders (which they kind of are).

neidu2,

Assuming that /home resides on the same filesystem, and is not a separate mountpoint, yes.

neidu2,

I have neither insight nor retorts to offer, I just wanted to congratulate you on 25 years. Hell, even 5 years with someone who’d dig in with you is worthy of praise in this world. I’m glad you found your foxhole buddy, and I wish you all the best.

Same story here. Came from Jerboa, swapped after 0.19 broke it. It took some time getting used to, but Voyager works well for me now.

One of my kids is currently attending a birthday party at the local trampoline park, so as I’m the driver I’m currently playing chess and writing this post while waiting. By the time I get home it’s time to herd half of my offsprings to bed, after which I have a few beers waiting for me, as well as a savegame in Songs of Syx I started on yesterday.

Oh, and I finally found a replacement wrist band that fits my Garmin watch today, so I’m replacing it at some point during the evening.

Yeah, I’ve been tempted to make an AskLemmy post based on that premise - “If trump dies on the campaign trail of presumably natural causes, what will the aftermath be like” conspiracy shitshow revolving around “Assassinated by the deep state” and/or “Biden directed CIA/FBI/SPLC/CCP/Pelosi to do it” is definitely going to emerge.

Do mean like a skill, a habit, or a project? Or something else entirely?

neidu2, (edited )

In that case: I’ve carved out a pretty decent career despite no formal education at all, and virtually no network to lean on. I got where I am because I’m good at what I do, and my 30% paycheck increase when I was recently poached by a competitor proves it.

Also, I make an awesome porkbelly roast.

neidu2,

No mosaic or lynx either

using regex to find the absolute value of a number:
$number =~ s/-//;

using regex to check if a number is odd:
print “odd!\n” if (($number / 2) =~ /./)

…and generally abusing regex for weird stuff it wasn’t intended for, because the regex engine is surprisingly efficient.

What this guy/gal said. Linux user for 25 years here, 10ish of which have been exclusive. And I run Mint on my main PC.

Because when I can finally wind down after the kids are in bed and I can hear myself think, I just want shit that works, without having to dick around with manual kernel modules and other custom stuff to get basic things working … I get paid to do the latter at work, and I get enough of it there.

neidu2,

Could you please provide a brief description of Vital? I’m in the process of rebuilding my musicmaking setup after a 15 years long hiatus, so I need to update myself on what’s out there.

On that note, it looks like I’m gonna go for bitwig over Ardour. Any thoughts/opinions on that?

neidu2,

Focus on your bright spots.

Also, keep in mind that all the negativity you see is mostly due to 24hour news cycles and other methods of getting instant updates from around the world. And misery-porn sells better.

neidu2,

When these launched they seemed interesting. I liked the concept, and they still do, but the biggest flaw was basing them on windows. I’ve seen windows on low-power devices before, and I’m not going through that again.

neidu2,

Because the right sub for their question doesn’t have many people, whereas asklemmy will be read by a wider audience

neidu2,

Q: What cliche is true about you?
A: I use arch, btw

neidu2,

Thanks for the gold, kind stranger

Amazon clearly lying about "ownership" on Prime. (lemmy.world)

You all remember just a few weeks ago when Sony ripped away a bunch of movies and TV shows people “owned”? This ad is on Amazon. You can’t “own” it on Prime. You can just access it until they lose the license. How can they get away with lying like this?

neidu2, (edited )

It should be noted that Amazon was among the first to prove that buying isn’t owning a few years ago when a book that many people had legally bought was automatically scrubbed feom devices. The title had been removed from the catalog, and any kindle which held it automatically removed it without the users concent, and they were given amazon store credit in return.

neidu2,

If piracy counts: Piracy.

Kind of, but it’s from my FreeBSD days. It was early 2000s, and at that point I’d been using it since version 3.3, and I was toying with 4.4, and I was getting into kernel optimization. I started removing the things I didn’t need.

A lot of it was simple, such as firewire support, etc. Then I came to the section about peripherals. “AT keyboard? Yup, that’s going”

Welp, turns out PS/2 keyboards were built on top of the AT keyboard subsystem. Luckily I could SSH into it and revert the change.

I actually like my job, and the salary is enough for me and the rest of my household to live off of while making down-payments on the house and the car. Now, if only I was a happy person…
