Why is xfce4-terminal missing?
eahm··on Space Cadet Pinball on Linux
Nice thanks, I might check all this again later.

Not gonna lie, some tables require way too much work, every software today wants you to be an engineer with 20+ years of some specific experience, what about just double click and let me play the damn game?
eahm··on Casio S100X Japanese Lacquer Edition (JP Page Only)
>I’ll become one of these obsessive people who talk about fonts.

NOT ME, NOT ME.

eahm··on Space Cadet Pinball on Linux
You might want to check this one https://archive.org/details/vpinball-x-73-space-cadet for Visual Pinball https://github.com/vpinball/vpinball. There are others that might be even better but JP's is the one that just works without installing and configuring a bunch of other software (https://youtube.com/results?search_query=JP%27s+Space+Cadet - https://youtu.be/UXfohCzilrQ).

Damn amazing how they are making these pinballs today.

More tables here too:

eahm··on Maybe you shouldn't install new software for a bit
Also funny they never show Debian in those tests/videos.
eahm··on CodingFont: A game to help you pick a coding font
I always end up with Consolas, Ubuntu Sans Mono and Hack.
eahm··on Show HN: BreezePDF – Free, in-browser PDF editor
I don't want to hijack the thread but isn't BentoPDF open source and does all that and more for free? https://www.bentopdf.com
eahm··on Ask HN: FileZilla/WinSCP Speed Comparison
Awesome, FileZilla 3.70.0 RC3: 60-62MB/s

eahm··on Google releases its new Google Sans Flex font as open source
1 too: https://fonts.google.com/?preview.text=i1IlL0Oo

IMO Ubuntu Mono and Ubuntu Sans Mono are two of the best fonts ever made, comparable to Consolas, which I think it's still the best monospace font... talking about monospace fonts.

Funny enough I think Reddit Mono is a very good monospace font too https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Reddit+Mono?preview.text=i...

And Hack: https://dafont.com/hack.font?text=i1IlL0Oo

For monospace fonts only:

eahm··on DOOM could have had PC Speaker Music
Agree, lazy is the last thing that comes to mind when I think about id Software, I don't like the title either.
eahm··on The history of Casio watches
I used to have the W-520U and it was the best watch I've ever owned ...also the only watch/thing I ever lost in my life, I left it at the gym class in school and the next day boom, gone.

http://www.digital-watch.com/DWL/1work/casio-w-520u

My favorite series since 10-20+ years ago is the ProTrek, which I guess it's part of G-Shock but I don't see them in the site. (I guess the PRT-1GPJ is there at 1999).

eahm··on Firefox Forcing LLM Features
Sharing my configs, hopefully they'll be helpful to someone. I don't even use Firefox but I keep the settings updated (prefs.js can be modified by Mozilla/Firefox, user.js does not change).

NOTE: Some settings might block too much, edit and use as you please.

eahm··on Migrating from AWS to Hetzner
I recently rediscovered this website that might help: https://vpspricetracker.com

Too cool to not share, most of the providers listed there have dedicated servers too.

eahm··on The best YouTube downloaders, and how Google silenced the press
Ah, I can see how it looks, it's just a GUI wrapper for ffmpeg and he's a trusted dev especially in the foobar2000 community. I've been using his sw on and off for 10+ years together with yt-dlp but again, I get your point.
eahm··on The best YouTube downloaders, and how Google silenced the press
>The best YouTube downloaders for Windows (and beyond)

Didn't even mention https://3dyd.com

eahm··on Sudo-rs is now default for Ubuntu Questing Quokka
I don't use Ubuntu particularly but I test the flavors sometimes and I keep the server ISO just in case, anyway, this code doesn't work with sudo-rs:

"

echo '# Disable ~/.sudo_as_admin_successful file

Defaults !admin_flag' | sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/disable_admin_file_in_home

"

so until I find a "fix" for me it's going to be: "apt install -y sudo sudo-rs-"

eahm··on Internet Relay Chat
Just saw it in the suggestions a few hours ago and it brought back so many memories, I thought I’d share it. The channel has so many other good videos, first time clicking it but it’s bookmarked now.
eahm··on Why English doesn't use accents
Yeah, from near Urbino but moved to USA ~20 years ago.
eahm··on Why English doesn't use accents
Funny also I moved to USA ~20 years ago and you lose the Italian, you don't remember words etc. but you'll never lose your dialect, it just comes natural because that's how you grew up instead of what you learned growing up and from school, Tuscan people have it easier because the language comes from their dialect, Dante etc.

And to add, I wouldn't click that link if you paid me lol, I hate the Barese... ok I clicked, funny stuff.

eahm··on Why English doesn't use accents
Oh geez, for example in Italian to say here you say "qui", where I grew up I say "mchi" but my brothers say "mqui" or "mque", where I used to go to school they say "meque" with the weirdest sound.

To say what are you doing in Italian is "cosa fai" but I say "co fei" and my brothers "sa fei" and where I used to go to school they say "che fe".

These are just simple simple things but almost everything changes here and there and I can't put the sound with the words here, they actually sound different, and change where the actual accents are.

eahm··on Why English doesn't use accents
French.. you people have no idea how Italy is.

I speak differently than my brothers because I grew up at my grandparents 3 MILES! away and if I go to my family restaurant 2 MILES the other direction there is a different accent again, and I mean different words too not just the sound. Where I used to go to school 10 miles away they don't understand if I speak my dialect because it's a different region.

The whole Italy is like that, a different dialect every 2-3 miles, every family, town, city, province, county and region has different accents and ways to make food and recipes. My town is 3200 years old, older than the Romans, they used to fight, then ally then fight again with them etc., this dialect thing is very old, cultures, traditions and families.

Of course we have the Italian language in common and the main dialects are separated by the main city of the region then by the region itself but yep, that's how it is.

eahm··on A tool for burning visible pictures on a compact disc surface (2022)
30+ years of computer and I had no idea you could do this. These are the kind of things I get excited about!
eahm··on The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source
You can make your own clean version, legally, with this file. https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator.

I get customers and most people don't know about it but it's kind of ridiculous that techy people in a tech forum don't know how to do it.

eahm··on Show HN: A new native app for 20 year old OS X
"The tool we all wished we had back in 2005 for homebrew development and exploration." but we did have one, it was called Auto-Xbins, it had an integrated console irc client and FileZilla.

I even used to release my own version with updates etc., cool stuff. Even this new project is cool.

eahm··on IRC technology news from the second half of 2024
There have been so many updates with Igloo and actually he made a completely new client, why is it not in the list?

eahm··on Is My Blue Your Blue?
Did it yesterday right after I saw the link once and got 185 (bluer than 97%..) but I've always had some passion for colors and variations, that's also why I like CSS. Anyway, funny to share but nothing changed in my life after that.
