Sweeeeet

I’m very envious, looks so cool!

Go on, Texas, try to ban VPNs.

PC Spotify -> Schiit Modi -> Schiit Vali 2 -> PreSonus Eris E4.5 speakers.

Or

Pixel 8 Pro Spotify -> “TempoTec Sonata HD PRO” USB DAC -> Meze 99 Classic headphones.

Does anyone think it’s worth moving to Tidal for my music?

Also, I’m running out of space on my desk. I can put the stack of Schiit on top of a speaker with minimal effects, right?

At least thunderbolt cables are somewhat straightforward.

They name by committee. So every corporation that is in the USB standards group will argue for whatever benefits them, with no consideration for consumers.

I fucking hate it. Buy a USB C cable and it’s a crapshoot whether it’s USB 2 with no power delivery, or poor quality with power delivery. Just trying to find a good quality USB 3 cable is difficult, with 3.1 or 3.2, x2 or not, shitty control chips, etc etc.

Firefox bookmarks have tags, which is way more than most browsers.

Yes, often. It doesn’t really bother me that much, plus tinnitus generally overwhelms those sounds.

It’s so purty

There’s a massive amount of hype right now, much like everything was blockchains for a while.

AI/ML is not able to replace a programmer, especially not a senior engineer. Right now I’d advise you do your job well and hang tight for a couple of years to see how things shake out.

I would say make the top bar the same or similar to the excellent title bars you’ve already got. Currently feels like they’re from 2 different systems.

EDIT my personal preference is to colour the minimize maximize close buttons.

Other ideas: round the corners just a tiny bit. Make the dock look more like the taskbar maybe. See if there’s examples from “Windows 95 Plus!” Which I think had extra themes.

EDIT 2: it looks great, you’ve done a good job here I like it!

And Kagi search results have additional links to archived versions. It’s very useful.

Paul Simon was prescient!

Lasers in the jungle indeed.

Reminds me of a pterosaur somehow.

With extra bonus: write an installer script that symlinks the files to the correct place. Use Ansible, plain old Bash, or Python depending on your preference.

Create a dotfiles repo in git. Gives you a way to track changes to your .bashrc or .zshrc

Mid 90s at work as a project support technician in Sony Broadcast R&D in the UK. Slackware, then red hat mostly. Installed Linux boxes in various digital TV stations in London in 1999/2000, used to insert interactive games into the broadcast stream.

I was a sysadmin from 99 to about 2018, from then onwards I’m more DevOps. Done a bunch of stuff with CentOS too, including migrating 500k email accounts to our hosted solution. Other cool stuff included a VMware based development environment using Foreman + FreeIPA to auto provision dev VMs with all sorts of puppet code.

Now at home I run Fedora and work on macOS, writing Terraform and Python. And some nodejs too.

Been at it a long ass time now lol

Ayyy, lmao
