1. goddamn I am so tired lmfao good night everyone

  2. @ipg @neil indeed, although as a forced-by-employer MacBook user I have retained my "normal" habits and still use the power off functionality lol

  3. First drop: Shut down Android Studio
    Second drop: Stopped #Gradle daemon

    Not really complaining but I always find it mildly hilarious how prominent these are in the memory usage histograms :androidPetPet:

    A tiny graph of memory usage on my computer with 32 gigabytes of RAM. It starts at around 75%, then sharply dropped to around 70%. A few minutes later, it sharply drops again to around 20%
  4. The biggest issue I ran into was with the WiFi, for some reason the #RaspberryPi's WiFi hardware just really despises networks that advertise 802.11n support. After I fiddled with my router to disable 802.11n, I was able to immediately connect to my WiFi network.

  5. @bluelinden yeah it used to work fine with these USB drives before, the disks appear to have developed errors so I'm gonna try to look for those tomorrow.

  6. Finally I have the motivation to fix my #RaspberryPi and put #NixOS on it again, RIP evening 🫡

  7. POV you are looking for the Silence armor trim in #Minecraft

    The Loki falling meme from Doctor Strange with the caption "I have been looting ancient cities for 5 hours"
  8. @katzenmann no 🗿

    It was a one off script, the code's already disappeared into the nether, it's perfectly readable for the task it needed to do.

  9. @Dr_Emann I do already use shellcheck and sufficiently peppered in the right quotes but still wasn't able to convince the shell to behave properly.

  10. TFW it was quicker for me whip to this up in #Rust than figure out how to make #Bash not choke to death on spaces in paths :blobFacePalm:

    A short Rust snippet that takes in a text file as the first parameter with a newline-delimited list of paths inside it. The program compares the size of each path with a copy of that file stored in the current working directory. If the version in the current directory is larger than the original, an error is printed and the copy is deleted. The code is very unidiomatic and peppered with unwraps :)
  11. #NixOS continues to be a source of endless dotfiles-initiated procrastination.

    With these changes I can now make #Gradle JVM Toolchains work consistently in both the IDE and CLI use cases, which prevents automatic download of JDKs that can't work with NixOS.

  12. @eugen @Aurimas if the cost is what's putting you off, Gradle does offer a public instance at scans.gradle.com which is good enough to analyze individual builds. Running any task with the `--scan` parameter should let you publish to scans.gradle.com

  13. @arstechnica Who could've seen that coming...

  14. Content warning: jerma985

    @chirpbirb Jerma is a gift to humanity

  15. @chirpbirb if you have a few friends who do play Minecraft on the regular it can be pretty fun to have an SMP for the group. I tried it a couple times but my friends just aren't Minecraft people in general so it tends to die out in a couple months at most, and I ended up taking the world from our last playthrough and making it my single player world which I've been playing on for a couple years now.

  16. The Android system updates screen has betrayed me for so long that even though it's been years since they fixed it I still find myself clicking that check updates button at least twice before accepting the result :blobHelp:

  17. Finally have internet back after an 11+ hour outage that spanned the entire day :blobUgh:

  18. How the hell is it 11 PM already, where did my Saturday go :thisIsFine:

  19. @noc@ioc.exchange I ended up going with netcup and have managed to get NixOS going on it, everything's working well so far.

  20. @ekuber I am genuinely tired of hearing this nonsense after every Big Tech layoff and then citing Twitter as a success story of cutting staff...

  21. @zachklipp @matt oh you're right, 2AM brain is slow :blobSmileSweating:

  22. @neil I've been using atuin for a few months now and I genuinely get a lot of value from always having frequently used snippets on hand regardless of what physical machine or VPS I am currently logged into. It was one of those things that I got into to try and get some use out of a Pi I had lying around and it ended up becoming a very useful tool on the daily.

  23. 👋 #NixOS users, I have a weird issue where everytime I shut down a Minecraft instance, Xorg fully crashes for me. I'm running the Cinnamon DE, and my entire system configuration is in this repo under the ryzenbox configuration.

    I'd be grateful for tips on how to even start debugging this, I've tried swapping out the JDK I use to no avail so I don't think it's that.

  24. @bagder are there good reasons for not having PSL support other than presumably binary size?

  25. @rain Man who has only ever played Monument Valley: "Getting real Monument Valley vibes from this"

    Jokes aside this does look incredible, I just purchased it and am looking forward to try it in the morning.

  26. @pixellight I don't think I've seen one yet, quite a shame. VPoltrack@twitter.com used to tweet them out a few days in advance when she used to make the splash arts at Google but that's no longer happening.

  27. @pixellight the iguana is honestly not far behind!

  28. @ybinnenweg IMO the tinkering effort and risk isn't really worth it for these rare situations but if it keeps up for a couple more days I might just try...

  29. @ybinnenweg we do have power backup but the batteries aren't really capable of keeping everything running for half a day, especially my computer.

  30. Electrical grid maintenance in my area is causing nearly 8-10 hours of disruption of power during regular working hours every day and it's making me slowly lose my mind :blobUgh:

  31. Welp, looks like @getsentry is now gonna start feeding user data into LLM datasets.

    An email from Sentry announcing changes to their terms of service, they will be feeding errors and other data sent by users into datasets for AI training "but only in an aggregate and anonymous manner for any external-facing uses".
  32. We haven't had power since the morning which meant I couldn't use the treadmill and having missed my routine exercise is very actively ruining my mood :/

  33. Looks like my desktop environment struggles are going to continue for a bit more...

    When I quit Minecraft it causes my Cinnamon session to completely crash and log me out :|

  34. @simon finally I have a name to use for the idea of improving via consistency :) My struggles with managing my weight grew worse with COVID-enforced isolation and in the end the only thing that was able to put me back on the right track was grinding for the daily notification from Google Fit: "You achieved both your goals today". My daily step and activity goals have doubled over the span of six months and it has all been enabled by the desire to maintain that streak.

  35. @bagder it's definitely ChatGPT

  36. Average #NixOS trial-and-error experience, but pretty happy with the setup now.

    I did quite like #GNOME but plenty of #Electron apps have been dragging their feet on #Wayland compatibility and it was being too much of a hassle to put up with on a daily basis.

    Two Git commits as shown on GitHub, the older one is titled "cinnamon question mark" and is 9 hours old, the one after it titled "cinnamon exclamation mark" and was committed just now.
  37. @anomalocarididae something about mossy BDubs always makes me feel all warm and fuzzy when he's on my screen :D

  38. Fixed my GNOME and Wayland problems by using neither GNOME nor Wayland.

  39. @tkuenneth a quick review? that's a rare win 😂
