Where I’m eyeing resource usage is in the cloud right now. I run a few discourse instances which seem really inefficient to me - 1.5G ram for just a discussion board. I have to dedicate a server for each one, whereas my rust web servers can have more like 30meg usage. Probably doing a lot less stuff, but still.

Just ordered some digital photo frames for xmas gifts, and neither one of them work. One is apparently an opened box return. Trashy!

yeah i put up some videos of me playing guitar… kodcast.com

I hate to ask someone to explain a joke, but wikipedia didn’t really connect the dots for me

i dunno, who?

site down it seems

The consensus seems to be that implementation inheritance leads to code that is difficult to understand and difficult to reuse. Its perhaps the main reason C++ is banned from the kernel.

he wasn’t missed that one time

landscape within portrait. will the ghastly perversions of technology never cease?

antennapod has boosted the quality of my commutes hugely.

Obtainium. Lets me install and track apps that aren’t on fdroid yet, or are in alpha release.

I use Jerboa, is fine. Haven’t tried anything else so don’t know what I might be missing.

people performatively declaring they are going to Linux doesn’t bother me at all. its good press, builds its reputation. people try new things for deep reasons sometimes, but also for casual curiosity and fashion following, and that’s ok.

I don’t understand why these butthurt republicans don’t just start voting against trump. Like somehow the only options are toe the party line or resign.

this guy theorizes a presidential run is the reason. why would she need to quit congress to do that though?

Resigning just doesn’t make sense to me. I’m thinking either very credible death threats, or they have something on her.

With a machine like that, you’re firmly in the mainstream of linux. Almost any distro will run well on it, so selection is a matter of taste.

Debian is a solid, conservative option, though they have a reputation of lagging behind other distros in terms of software versions. I do like arch, their wiki is first rate. It has the reputation of being finicky but I’ve always found it pretty straightforward. Great for the extensive docs and not trying to insulate you from the system.

I personally would avoid ubuntu these days, they seem to be leaning into the Ubuntu Way for things like installing software. A bit lock-in ish for me.

FWIW I’m running nixos on my thinkpads, works great. Nixos is not to be undertaken lightly, there’s a lot to learn and docs are meh. Stability is second to none, and the declarative configuration management makes it great for easing into devops.

I used to model in openSCAD and do tool paths in fusion. Good combo for the most part, but there were some issues like cutting slots that never worked well; the slot always had to be wider than the tool. Fusion works better on its own proprietary models than on STLs.

OpenSCAD is super fun and I have built things in it too. It is just for the modeling and doesn’t do tool path stuff like fusion360; but I think you could import models into freeCAD and do tool paths there.
