I thought hCaptcha was getting off the rails. Try making an X account using a VPN service!
We need prediction markets for Linux kernel development.
Syncthing is also as good as everyone says it is.
...while chasing the clouds away.
It's a crime that Slow Motion by Supertramp isn't available on any of the streaming services. It might even be the Crime of the Century.
hCaptcha is really getting off the rails these days. If you haven't run into one in a while, you're in for a trip.
Hello, IT, have you tried turning it off and back on again?
I finally gave in and tried out Caddy. It's about as great as everyone says it is.
Another minor inconvenience could have been avoided by reading the Arch Linux news feed before upgrading.
Today's project: Put 2 failing hard drives in RAID 0 and boot from it. What could go wrong?
RIP LocalMonero. You will be missed.
The IBM PC110 (486 palmtop) hosting this website reached 3 years of uptime a couple weeks ago. Impressive! http://pc110.yyzkevin.com/
I'm starting to embrace containers on my PC for software I want to use once without littering my home folder with junk files. It's nice.
Come on guys, can't we just do Btrfs RAID5/6 already?
Come on guys, can't we just do IPv6 already?
Finally broke down and installed Pipewire. Bare ALSA is only good if you only use one physical sound card ever. Don't even try Bluetooth.
BunsenLabs is just a delightful distribution.
Playing with Wireguard and network namespaces today. Resisting the urge to redo my server.
My hacky shell pipeline was flawed. Flexo actually saved ~689 MiB of bandwidth, or 35.7% of my total package downloads.
Since install, Flexo has saved ~417 MiB of bandwidth, or 21.7% of my total package downloads in that time.
TRIM on Btrfs on LUKS on a sparse disk image served with NBD actually works. I love free software.
Spring cleaning came early at McKinley Labs. I just removed 475 unnecessary packages from my laptop totaling ~3GiB. Not bad.
Pro tip: Don't run out of space on Btrfs.
Zoom (2001) is Jeff Lynne's ELO before ELO was "Jeff Lynne's". There are some great songs on there. It's a shame the sound is so awful.
A word of advice: Never swing and grind at the same time.
I saw a Cybertruck earlier. I'm no fan of Tesla, but that thing is pretty cool.
This is the year of the GNU/Linux desktop
I didn't realize what I was doing with a command and now my entire music library is tagged as hip-hop. It's time to stop for the night.
Note to self: Don't restart the NBD daemon while a computer has booted from it.
Another digital license plate sighting today. It's an epidemic!
I just lost 3/4 of a really good blog post by typing :q! without thinking and I'm having a really hard time rewriting it.
Love was changing the minds of pretenders...
If you're reading this, this is my first automated twt. I added a line to twtxt.txt, typed 'make', and everything else was automatic.
The Ladybird XHTML bug is fixed. index.xhtml and blog/index.xhtml are now generated with a Makefile, XSLT, and a bit of Python. Feels good!
Currently compiling the Dolphin emulator because the Arch package is broken. Wish me luck.
In other news, I modified my XSLT stylesheet so it can be used for both of my Atom feeds.
My hidden service is somehow already on some lists for crawlers. That's impressive.
Tech tip: Install "kernel-modules-hook" in Arch Linux to keep old modules after a kernel update so you can load new ones without rebooting.
I added a camera shutter sound effect that plays whenever I take a screenshot. It's a big improvement, having that feedback.
Tech tip: FFmpeg isn't working in your while loops because it's reading from stdin. Use '-nostdin'. Took me far too long to figure that out.
I can now pull up the spectrogram of whatever song is playing with a single key stroke. I love cmus.
Been using a ThinkPad T540 recently. Can't stand the TrackPoint with fake buttons. Who thought this was a good idea? I hope they were fired.
I've been using cmus exclusively for over a month. Couldn't be happier with it. I can't believe I used Audacious for so long.
This is the year of the GNU/Linux desktop.
The freedoms you surrender today are the freedoms your grandchildren will never know existed.
I'd really like to play with ChatGPT, but there's no way I'm giving them my phone number.
I now have an archive of over 1,000,000 Git commits across 154 repositories with my archival script.
Playing around with cmus tonight. My music library has so much bad metadata, it's not even funny.
In the end, we all do what we must.
I really need an automatic Git mirroring setup. I've been burned too many times. At least this one is (allegedly) temporary.
Wikiless, a self-hosted Wikipedia proxy, has been temporarily taken down from Codeberg at request of Wikimedia Legal: https://orenom.fi/
Wayland tech tip #3: Be sure to install warpd-wayland-git instead of warpd-git from the AUR, otherwise you're gonna have a bad time.
Been playing around with Warpd. I could see myself using it much more if I used multiple displays or had no TrackPoint.
