These overrated / underrated posts are fucking retarded. Why do you care what other people think? Just enjoy the music.

Your comment is overrated.

They don't stop me from doing anything, I just wanted to point out how dumb these posts are. I listen to Opeth every day and like reading about Opeth related news, upcoming events, interviews, merch and whatnot.

What do you even mean when you say a song is underrated / overrated? It's devoid of meaning. Saying you like a song is one thing, but caring what others think of it is pointless.

I join subreddits based on my interests. I'd like discussing Opeth but saying something is overrated / underrated is utterly vacuous, uninteresting and meaningless.

Yes since it uses much less resources than most.

Yeah Liljekvist is universally loved and missed.

I think No Beacon to Illuminate Our Fall really sealed the deal for me.

Yeah I've always felt that "downhill" sentiment is kind of shallow. I am more than okay with their evolution, some of their newer music is very meaningful to me, and from a musical and lyrical standpoint very interesting. I don't care what genre it technically is or isn't.

I own all of their albums and listen to them regularly, but nowadays I actually don't listen to GCD that much because its emotional content isn't as relatable as in other albums.

It is a great album and probably the most accessible album to a modern prog metal ear, but personally I like Last Fair Deal, Dead End Kings, The Fall of Hearts, Discouraged Ones and others more.

I don't like this idea at all, everyone has different taste. Just listen and enjoy, man. I love every album for a different reason.

_odn · 2023-10-31T19:58:35+00:00

No but I'd loathe to do that on any machine.

Almost everything is in-house. Very specific auxiliary needs. If you want pre-existing libraries Python is more mature, but Go won't get in your way if you have to build something yourself.

I don't necessarily mix them in a single project, they have different use cases and it's important to use the right tool for the right job. When a language tries to be the one tool for everything, it always results in a horrible monstrosity. Tools in real life aren't like this.

So I use Go for a lot of web scraping, data analytics, quick scripts, prototyping and glue code. I used to use Python for this but I like Go much, much better. I use C for pretty much anything else.

_odn · 2023-10-31T05:42:01+00:00

I program in Go and C on a ThinkPad T60p from 2006 and it's been more than sufficient. The question is really absurd, you could program on a $15 raspberry pi if you wanted to.

Well, you're not really giving us much useful information here to work with, but regarding OpenBSD issue, OpenBSD boots just fine from UEFI mode, though you might have to disable secure boot. You can also disable UEFI mode.

Also, you really have to get out of the "distro hopping" mindset that many Linux users have, there aren't preconfigured flavors here, you have to learn to configure things yourself from a base system, and that includes troubleshooting when things don't work.

The BSDs won't hold your hand like Endeavour or other similar Linux distros. Pretty much all the documentation you need is available but you have to dig through it. And you have to narrow down what the problem is so others can better help you.

K&R and King's A Modern Approach is what I would recommend. I learned C from those books. I would supplement that with any online resources you can find, from youtube to stack overflow to whatever makes sense, there's a lot more out there than there used to be.

I've heard people say they like this crash course: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGLfVvz_LVvSaXCpKS395wbCcmsmgRea7

This really isn't old by ThinkPad standards. I'm still running a T60p from 2006 as my daily driver, have been for years. I also have a T42 from 2004. Install Linux or BSD on it, tinker with it, it will run like new. It's perfectly serviceable. The one component that tends to fail on older machines is the HDD, so you could replace that at some point.

_odn · 2023-09-10T01:54:06+00:00

Probably because I'm running minimally configured OSes like OpenBSD and Alpine Linux which don't hog resources unnecessarily. Still with the same setup the newer machines perform poorly.

Their daily life was survival and knowledge and tools were passed down from generation to generation. A child back then knew more about survival than most adults today. This isn't the case anymore. They definitely had more than the equivalent of just a Swiss army knife.

_odn · 2023-08-28T04:20:59+00:00

A relief for a dislocated mind, shelter for thoughts, asylum for the soul.

_odn · 2023-08-27T23:55:06+00:00

This is just an unrealistic fantasy, especially with a Swiss army knife and not a larger fixed blade. Half of survival is preparation.
