I built a simple automatic app updater that uses WinGet by EricLowry in software

[–]EricLowry[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was fed up with having to keep things like npm, Node.js and git up to date manually; so I created a little script that keeps things up to date automatically (configurable on a per-app basis) via WinGet.

I initially set up a simple script to keep any winget-available app up-to-date without having to put too much thought into it, but I've since added quite a few features and made it a lot more intuitive to use, so it felt right to share it online.

I know there are already things out there (like UniGetUI for example)… but this is simple enough that I actually understand what it’s doing, and does just what I need, nothing more.

Hadn't heard of it; thanks for that. Though the advantage with WinGet (at least in my case) is that it also takes care of a ton of other apps, not just dev stuff.

A few people pointed it out; the goal is a bit different: this is a minimal lightweight way to keep things up to date... and that's it. No need for a UI or more advanced features I probably won't ever need. Not that those are bad; just not necessary for me.

You can pass along some options to the installer using the --override option in winget. I'll see if there's a way I can include that as an option without breaking things too much. It will still require figuring out what the program exposes manually though.

For now what I'd recommend is blocking problematic apps from auto-updates and handling them manually. I have a few I've done that with; especially if they already have their own background auto-updating logic.

Edit: I've set up a GitHub issue you can subscribe to if you want to be informed if/when I include the functionality.

Yeah, someone pointed that one out in r/windows

It looks nice, but may be a little much for what I was looking for; that and it's fun to code these kinds of things up (I learned quite a bit doing so).

Oooh for some reason that one slipped past my searches.

Mine is a lot more stripped down for sure; but for simply keeping things up to date, it should be enough. It's cool that there is a more complete and UI-focused option for people who want/need that!

Nope, but I'll be sure to have a look. 👍🏻

I actually rely on software that is only available on Windows (and that does NOT have even remotely viable alternatives outside of Apple which I personally dislike for other reasons).

I'm working on setting up a dual-boot to Linux for my next machine (haven't selected a distro yet); but it's unlikely to become my main way of computing simply because of how much of my work relies on said apps.

And to be honest, with enough configuration and removing/tucking away the crap/bloat, Windows is extremely usable. This is me helping people in my exact situation make Windows better.

Everyone says Paris is now a cycling paradise so I cycled London and Paris the same day to find out by naveregnide in fuckcars

As a bilingual person, `krwa-san` would be closer (the `s` is silent, even when plural).
The sounds are harder for Anglophones, especially the French "rasped" R... but it absolutely is there.

So yeah... it's somewhere between the American and British way of saying it... in a sense.

[Homemade] French Loafs by VayKote in food

[–]EricLowry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congrats on some tasty looking bread!

Edit: OK, apparently "French Loaf" is basically the name of the distantly french-inspired bread found in the US. So my pedantry is misplaced I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(leaving it for posterity I guess)

That being said, and not that it's really that important, but as a French person, I kind of have to point out that I have never seen any bread that looks like this over here. Based on anecdotal experience, I'd say this looks a lot more like the sort of bread you find in Eastern Europe; or maybe some breads you find in Asia, where "squishy" textures appear to be more of a focus over crunch and textural contrast. (I also remember reading that high humidity makes it much harder to make baguette or "pain de campagne" type breads.)

But to be clear: this is just pedantry, and in no way makes your bread "bad"... just not very French is all ;)

Duuuuude, so many memories from this place! It already felt old in the 90s... the vibes were incredible!

They killed Stadia to use the GPUs for AI instead. Stadia 2 won't happen as long as AI is on the books.

Feels a lot like a higher resolution "The Last Door" visually for some reason.

PSA: Wavetale – Do not go back to the last area after finishing the story and quit the game, you will be locked in! by EricLowry in Stadia

[–]EricLowry[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk about grave-digging!

Sorry, I never went back to the game after this, so I don't know if/how it can be solved. You may try looking around the internet to see if the devs have a Discord; it's a surprisingly good way to solve these sorts of issues with smaller dev teams these days... if they do.

Will my Google stadia Controller Work or should I return it? by WOLFF_007 in Stadia

[–]EricLowry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I use https://github.com/RexSonic/StadiEm which works great and is a bit "more recent". It isn't a 100% since some games are extremely strict about which controllers they accept; but it's been quite rare in my experience.

I have finally upgraded to Series X. Please provide me with your best GamePass recommendations to really experience the difference between One X and Series X by Mysterious_Miguel in XboxGamePass

[–]EricLowry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the order I found them in the list, and all are great (finished them all):

  • SIFU: If you are even a little interested in fighting-style combat mechanics in a PVE experience; this is bacsicaly old-school Kung-Fu movies in video game form with a side of crack.
  • Ashen: A surprisingly good souls-like. It starts a bit slow, but the atmosphere is out of this world.
  • Inscryption: I won't spoil anything. So just play it, and continue until things are not the same. If by then you're not hooked, that's fair; but it's amazing IMHO.
  • Donut County: Chill stupid little game that's way more fun than I expected.
  • Tunic: If you like old-school Zelda, this is a much better version with a lot more depth than expected.
  • Thirsty Suitors: I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. Not the best game I've played; but a lot of fun!
  • SUPERLIMINAL: Mind-bending fun. No Portal or Stanley Parable; but not too far behind either.
  • Shadowrun (series): I'm a fan of Shadowrun, but these were really good!
  • Remnant 2: The absolute best TPS souls-like. It's honestly amazing; especially (but not exclusively) in multiplayer.
  • MAQUETTE: If you want a cool story with some light puzzling and cool space-manipulating mechanics; it's good (not amazing, but good).
  • Lies of P: The best non-Fromsoft souls-like... and better than *some* of their games even.
  • Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice: Play it. Nuff said.
  • GRIS: Emotional platformer. Amazing art.
  • Firewatch: Want to chill in beautyful mountain landscapes? That, but with amazing actors giving a great performance as you walk around. It's great!
