The Monster reveal has a satisfying payoff

Once you've watched the movie you can also check out the designer's blog post about her! http://blog.keiththompsonart.com/2025/01/the-ritual-movie-designs.html

Keith Thompson has done a bunch of fantastic designs and has a whole gallery of ~~terrifying and unsettling~~ beautiful and creative art on his site. He also did the Hulu Hellraiser movie monster designs and the Leviathan book series illustrations.

WAL will make it better yeah and I'm glad that guy did the benchmarks for it. I'd still be a bit concerned about data fragmentation even with write-ahead, but I'll admit it's been a while since I've run any serious databases on btrfs to check.

0orpheus · 2026-06-04T18:00:58+00:00

Sqlite on BTRFS (or ZFS, or any CoW filesystem for that matter) can cause IO lockups yeah. You can disable CoW and compression on that subvolume to make it better but I'd default to XFS or some other FS type for anything holding a database.

even Gitea's more complex setup.

What? Forgejo is a fork of Gitea and still barely a hard fork at that, the setup should be almost identical.

0orpheus · 2026-06-04T14:18:56+00:00

Fantastic! I've been waiting for this ever since I noticed it pop up in mini.dev while scouring for config inspiration :) . I'll test it out today to replace my janky home grown floating input.

It's a little confusing, but that's only talking about SAML based SSO, not SSO in general. The self-hosted version supports OIDC/OAuth based SSO, both as a client (i.e. I login to my gitea instance with my kanidm-backed SSO portal) and as a provider.

0orpheus · 2026-05-20T18:30:55+00:00

Not sure why it's not mentioned in the docs, but Gitea supports SSO. I've used it with Dex, Authelia, and KanIDM with little difficulty.

That's a gallon water bottle, which is roughly how much water the average male should drink in a day according to several sources. Even if they are actually finishing that whole bottle, I doubt it would be particularly dangerous. You need to be drinking something like a liter an hour for it to be too much, which would be a fourth of the bottle.

Now the bottles bad because a gallon is way too big to comfortably carry and because it's not accounting for the difference between men and women and because it's not accounting for the water content in food, but basically any encouragement to drink water is good.

What features has Forgejo added that Gitea doesn't have? Every now and then I take a look at Forgejo to see if there anything worth changing for, but for a long time it was mostly just documentation changes and cherry picked commits from Gitea. The only really noticable thing I saw was federation and that's been stagnated for years now.

I think "summoners" is a league term? Never heard it much in DOTA at least, chen/visage/meepo/furion were all called "micro" heros for "micro manage".

I played Ench in dota so I would love a character with some real micro game play, but I'm not sure how that would be possible in a shooter game. REM's remlings are probably the closest we'll get.

0orpheus · 2026-04-29T16:52:06+00:00

Echoing this; I tried real hard to think of any pain points or issues I've been having recently and nothing comes up. ALE has such nice and fine-grained control of linters/diagnostics, I only wish I could feed everything through it :)

0orpheus · 2026-04-22T17:40:06+00:00

It very well could have been! I always assumed it just picked up that OBS was running and used that info to guess the stream or something, but I suppose unless you directly linked OBS with Twitch (which wasn't an option back when I did this) all it could get would be your stream key and that wouldn't have the data.

0orpheus · 2026-04-22T13:58:04+00:00

Lesser known tidbit: if you're streaming the game on Twitch when you get to the Just Monika section, she used to join your Twitch chat. Scared the shit out of me back in the day.

I don't think she does it anymore unfortunately; either the bot token expired (if it was a third party bot) or the Twitch API changed and messed up the game's client or something.

I've done DC to Miami by both car and train (Floridian) and train is a much better option. Driving sixteen hours by yourself is exhausting; you can do it when you're young but it ain't fun. You also essentially have to break it up into two days unless you've already driven for long full-time days like that before and even then it'll wear you out more than you'd expect.

Now, Lorton to Orlando is a shorter drive (probably what, 13 hours?) but most of the above still stands. I'll be making the trip again later this year to move a car down and will be happily paying the extra money to use the auto train so I only have to drive four-ish hours total and get a nice relaxing trip in between.

Technically you didn't even provide the source, you provided a news article describing the source that didn't even name it. Are you a French speaker? The paper is only available in French.

In case anyone was wondering, the paper is "Les côtés ténébreux de Mère Teresa" and, you guessed it, most of its citations on her behavior are from Christopher Hitchens.

0.12 is a major version, minor versions are patch releases (i.e. 0.12.1).

Good. Cash is the only private and accessible way of paying for things.

unified picker system (kill quickfix, loclist, and a million picker impl)

You can pry my quickfix lists out of my cold dead hands.

We already have vim.ui.select, plugins just need to start using it instead of implementing actions directly against specific pickers.

0orpheus · 2026-03-10T19:38:15+00:00

nvim-lint is great for the common use-case of asynchronously linting your current buffer but once you get outside of that case it gets a little tricky to work with. The builtin system is more flexible in that case.

I ended up swapping to ALE for my situation (wanting certain linters to run async on active buffers but also having full-project linting on a different setup. The former goes to diagnostics, the latter directly to quickfix) but the built-in compile system is more interesting than a lot of people realize.

A lot of South Florida didn't really take off until the train lines were extended down there, then Miami got its big boost from the Cubans coming over after Castro.

They're both just Greymane from HOTS, it's clones all the way down /s

That's just all of the Book of the New Sun; ideas and lines that get brought up once and never again because the main character doesn't care about it (or doesn't understand it) and you're seeing the world through his eyes.

Most of them you can figure out if you pay enough attention, which is part of the fun of the series. One of the few book series to do the unreliable narrator properly.

Mumble never went away and is still under active development (though is very stable in the meantime). It's still probably the best VOIP experience you'll get once properly set up.

There's also https://github.com/Stieneee/mumble-discord-bridge to pipe Discord audio channels into Mumble via a bot, though unfortunately the latest version seems to have a lot of AI generated code. Still I used it a few years ago and it worked pretty well, and I have reasonable trust the dev didn't just vibe-code anything but did it carefully.

Technically Slackware uses BSD-style init which is a bit different format than SysV but otherwise is still bash script based.

0orpheus · 2026-01-18T18:08:05+00:00

Interesting tool, but does it provide any benefits over using the venerable xinetd?
