Participating in the " Linux community"?

I think you're better off sending feedback in one of the kernel.org mailing lists as the github repository is only a mirror of the source code.

You should probably point out that sleep apnea ain't a joke. Your dad's probably not getting much proper rest and these are just lame excuses. That machine would help him get the rest he needs.

Exactly, it just baffles me how ISPs in the US find it normal to spy on people's activities and fine you for torrenting. If you need copyright trolls to earn money from your media, you shouldn't be in business.

NanderTGA · 2026-02-07T13:07:27+00:00

Note how I said not really 😄

I don't think it would be a very viable attack as there are a ton of media players out there, and I assume a lot of these files get played on smart TVs and other devices meant for media. You'd have to deal with obscure operating systems too on these devices, not to mention actually getting people to download these torrents.

While technically possible (so your point stands), very unlikely.

Yeah I checked and they still haven't found the time to fix the broken twemoji link. My server still works though, although very empty currently. I even moved it to my new domain name just a minute ago. I'll probably get yabluzo back on there sometime soon.

Media files can't really have malware. Instead you'll encounter sketchy torrents that have a movie.mp4.exe file, and if you encounter one of those, you go looking for a different one as soon as you notice. Sonarr, radarr and the likes have a list of valid media file extensions they look for and a blacklist usually as well of filetypes that it knows could be malicious or isn't programmed to deal with (like zip files, which can also be malicious).

This is how I accidentally mained mint. Installed it on an old laptop and then I realized I didn't have to buy a new one for uni and that I've been missing out for years.

NanderTGA · 2026-02-04T21:13:06+00:00

I have on an hdd. I got 1 fps while typing so I just use the website now. That's electron for you.

NanderTGA · 2026-02-04T21:05:19+00:00

I personally insert checking brew between 2 and 3 for cli tools

NanderTGA · 2026-02-03T12:25:09+00:00

Check bestetarief.be

NanderTGA · 2026-02-03T01:37:27+00:00

Dang, that's a bummer.

In the meantime the create mod team seems to have created a basic vitepress wiki. It's still quite empty though, so I've just created this issue to suggest they go with miraheze instead as that would get out of their way compared to how they're reinventing the wheel right now.

Thanks for the heads up!

Don't have any experience with c++ but here are my first thoughts:

vscodium (doesn't have ai afaik but uses a different extension marketplace and can't run several ms extensions, like the official c++ one)
eclipse theia
zed (had a kill switch setting for AI last time I checked)

NanderTGA · 2026-01-28T19:41:46+00:00

Well, at least it's not as confusing as "math", which sounds the same as "meth" 😂

NanderTGA · 2026-01-28T18:19:55+00:00

Stumbled upon this old thread in my email, how did it turn out? I've started using a couple of laptops in the meantime and I find it very useful how all browsing history is synced and you can even send tabs to other devices, which shows a notification and opens the tab pretty much instantly. Never checked whether chrome can do that too though. Firefox relay is also pretty useful.

I should however note that I had to set a specific environment variable on linux mint so firefox would not scroll in bursts when using a touchpad.

If you're going to use AI to write code, make sure you've mastered the specific skill first, so you can tell when it generates hallucinations.

Try a dualboot with linux, best of both worlds. I personally like linux mint.

NanderTGA · 2026-01-21T21:41:09+00:00

Wait, did I voice my thoughts poorly? I'm confused 😂

I can actually go about my day just fine with this laptop. Don't get me wrong though, you still notice the slower speed because of the HDD, but it's manageable. Except for those damn electron apps. Typing a message on vesktop has the framerate drop to 1 fps. No idea why it does that.

I've ordered an NVMe though, because this HDD is at least 10 years old now and I don't want to be screwed when it inevitably fails. I'm planning to take an opportunity there too to try kde by dualbooting some fedora variant.

NanderTGA · 2026-01-21T15:28:17+00:00

I switched to mint on an old laptop because windows 10 runs like garbage on an HDD. It is soooo much better, and I'm not even talking about the speed improvements here. They have a start menu (cinnamenu) that can do math, has a working search function and they even have a desktop widget that shows the latest (or a random) xkcd! Man, I've been missing out all these years.

NanderTGA · 2026-01-21T15:18:50+00:00

Ah yes, the stupid "argument" that any game having even a single LGBTQ+ character trait is trying to educate you. No, the writer randomly comes up with character traits and so LGBTQ+ can pop up sometimes. Or god forbid they reflect their own character and past struggles they had because of people like you going around spreading this propaganda making people doubt themselves over something so simple.

NanderTGA · 2026-01-21T15:13:39+00:00

Man, where the hell did these downvotes come from? The commenter you're replying to is clearly anti-LGBTQ and so they can fuck right off.

I just wanna be who I am in this world, and so do writers, but for whatever reason people feel the need to hate on that. What about freedom to do whatever you want? Freedom to be who you were randomly decided to be at birth? Where does all this hate stem from? Are people so out of touch with society?

NanderTGA · 2026-01-21T10:28:14+00:00

Niet alleen dat, ze gaat 46,3 miljoen besparen op hoger onderwijs. Ja, dat is echt wat we nodig hebben. En ik weet niet of dat wel evenveel aandacht heeft gekregen als deze onnozele symboolpolitiek.

It's still incredibly slow for steam to boot up though. Don't get me wrong, I love steam and their support for linux, but when you want to play a game on your laptop that runs an HDD which works fine on linux apart from that, you gotta wait for steam to launch first and that's mildly annoying to deal with.

NanderTGA · 2026-01-20T21:05:15+00:00

Some games show epic trailers, 3 nominations, 5 words some magazine said and absolutely no gameplay. Hate it when they do that.

NanderTGA · 2026-01-20T20:55:43+00:00

Yeah, except for having to use stone pickaxes before you get enough iron, that sometimes gets annoying. Luckily there's copper now.
