Yeah that's how Cascadia Code renders italic.

A similar anecdote is I couldn't download podcasts from iHeartRadio. Either through pocket casts or thier website. Also twitter went very slow.

I think it was an ISP issue. At the time IP6 was in beta. Now it's enabled for everyone and the issues stopped happening.

> YMMV. When it reaches the level of X11 that "just works for everyone without preconditions" it will become usable in my coordinate system

I don't think X11 ever "just worked" for me. Every computer I installed Linux on had X11 problems.

The XKCD about Xorg.conf was very relatable back then: https://xkcd.com/963/

Theres a podcast on iHeartRadio called Svetlana! Sventlana!

I haven't listened to it yet. But I have heard the Ad too many times. (Outside the US podcast ads are mostly for other podcasts)

Steam is pretty robust. If delete everything but steam.exe and the steamapps dir. Launching steam.exe will basically just reinstall steam in place and have all your Games there.

I remember when my Girlfriend and I were play Elder scrolls Online. I was really short on disk space at the time. (The download was also huge)

So I just set up a network share on her computer for it and launched it from a network mapped drive.

It just worked. I was kinda surprised. But I guess if the devs don't do anything fancy there's no reason it shouldn't work.

The main problems Ive had with it so far. Is the graphics. Kernel is fine but the userspace was difficult to get working. A Chinese user on the forums had figured it out. You need the proprietary Vulkan + GLES libraries from IMG and the fork of mesa to get EGL, etc. Which doesn't work with libglvnd so some packages won't install because they explicitly depend on libglvnd.

And the kernel has device mapper disabled so I couldn't use kpartx to mount a drive image with partitions. Also means dm-crypt or LVM2 won't either.

But these kinda kinks can be worked out I think so I hope we get a good out of the box experience in a few months.

I had a lot of trouble getting any FPGA software running on Mac. But Linux it just runs/builds out of the box.

Although if you have windows it also tends to run there too.

For comparison. A few years ago they tried to reschedule Amyl Nitrate (aka Poppers) a drug available as "Leather cleaner" in most sex shops. It was going to put on the same schedule as Heroin making it illegal to possess.

Then after complaint they completely changed to make it an over the counter drug. Although as far as I know it's still not available at any chemist I know of. But you can still buy it as Leather cleaner from few sex shops. (Less than it used to)

Super-early bird are out! If shipping is good.

I haven't been able to boot mine. But I have no UART adapter to see whats wrong.

I think OpenPower has a fully open bootloader. But it's not exactly cheap to try.

Those systems startup into "Cache Contained" mode. Where the Boot ROM is copied to CPU Cache and there's no main memory yet. The code in the ROM has to initialized main memory before it can use it.

Australia law doesn't require you to do anything until explicitly asked by the intelligence agencies. The first stage is a gentle "Request for Technical Assistence" with no penalties for no saying no. But then they can then ask again and demand you provide assistance with jail time/fines for non-compliance. The orders also come secrecy notices so you can't inform anyone (except your lawyers) that you've received the notice. The request have to target specific users so they can't be "Collect messages on everyone with a Muslim name" or something.

The chilling effect of it is. What if they demand you give them information you do not have a way of accessing. (Eg Signal). How would you comply? Do you have to pre-empt whatever requests you MIGHT get and ensure you could back-door a user if it were required. The law also seems to imply that ASIO could demand a single employee at a company backdoors something and they wouldn't be able to tell their co-workers.

Yay. Maybe I can add a filter so I can skip specific episodes and clean up my new release page.

Unless you enable fruit vfs then it thinks it's a mac but doesn't not what model you so get a big question mark.

I'm using ZFS on my desktop (Arch Linux). 1 'Pool' is just an SSD that my OS root drive. (Booting off ZFS is a bit harder but putting /boot on your ESP works).

And a hard disk array with 4 drives in raidz (like raid 5).

Main advantages: * I moved my root drive to another drive and did it entirely online without needing to cp or dd everything just add new drive to pool, remove old drive (and wait until it's done, but you can keep using it while it copies) * It's way faster than MD, md spends 10s of hours initializing or resilivering big drives. zfs just formats it and your good to go. * Subvolumes and snapshops are great. You can give a folder different file system properties. (Eg make /var/log compressed and disable it for /var/cache/pacman because it's already compressed) * Docker is quicker. * Although BTRFS has snapshots I do find ZFS's more intuitive. (eg subvolume can be nomount in ZFS which allows you to organize and apply options recursively easier)

Check for bugs in Ubuntu ZFS before installing updating. They do it differently than other OpenZFS options.

I'm not currently using ZFS send for backups. So I can't compare it to Deja dup.

I think Garriot said originally he stepped out of the fire instinctively. Then remembered "Wait I'm invincible I can stand in fire." Then proceeded to stand in the fire and die.

Which is kinda funny as it's become a meme about WoW players standing in fire and dying when they couldn't just moved. (To much frustration to healers)

Linus Tech tips talked about it. HDR on YouTube is a nightmare. There's no way to know if it'll come out in the right colours or get crushed into an ugly mess.

Yes. You need to provide legal id to get a phone number in Australia. This is handled by the phone companies themselves. But this is probably a good reason to not let them do it themselves.

I think you should be signing with a different key than your push/pull key. It's just so you don't have to use GPG when key signing is required.

It links to https://github.com/diasurgical/devilution. WHich explains it: Climax Studios was contracted to make a Playstation port. And it ended up being shipped with the debug symbols still in the game executable. The pc version also has a lot of debug information still in the game files. So reversing engineering the source was made a lot easier.

People who come from Windows + MSSQL world might not have touched a package manager before and want to try out Postgres.

Seems that NSW has 1 in the northernmost area (Byron) and 1 in the sothernmost area (Bega). I'm sure there's probably some Goats in between.

You can connect to iMessage from a hackintosh though?

Thing is nearly all the ARM-chip manufactures are similar or the same. One of the weird things about the Apple M chips (well at least on Laptops) is you can make the more open source than most ARM chips.

Linux in general has issues with Broadcom wifi. If you're shopping for a laptop to run linux. One of the biggest red flags for driver support is Broadcom wifi.

Also google will sometimes treat iptables as a synonym for nftables which is extremely frustrating

Also stiff competition from React native. A lot more JS Devs around today than c#.

The .NET debugging tools in VS code are proprietary. If you get the OSS build from your distro and try to debug a .NET program it'll fail with an error. (Telling you it's only available with proprietary VS code from MS) For other languages this might be a minor pain. For C# it kills one of its best features, it's debugging support.

Now we need something called crackle to complete the cereal

I can install it. But it still wouldn't come up.
