I bought a modern MSI gaming laptop with awesome on-paper specs and they did something fucky such that the keyboard doesn’t work until about kernel v6.7. The keyboard. Wtf.

Any idea how forgejo compares to radicle?

I’m trying to decide what to install on my home server. I want something easy to start with but reasonably extensible and federated would be nice

Are you announcing a release or just posting to get some eyes on the project? I’m keen to read through a changelog before upgrading from trilium v0.63.7.

I’ve been self-hosting trilium for a few years and love it, would like to see updates though; there a few UI/UX areas that feel like they need polish.

I was initially unhappy about using a database to store my notes, and I do worry about how I’d migrate my trilium notes to another system, but the experience thus far has been pretty great.

I don’t enjoy how Calibre works. The way it manages its library in a folder separate to where/how I store my ebooks rubs me the wrong way. It also seems to like adding itself to metadata and messing with stylesheets.

I gotta admit though, nothing else even comes close to replacing it.

I think more to the point is that there’s already a word with this meaning.

anomia

Me too. Still dont know what PPA is in this context :/

We got AoE 1 on the computer as a demo when I was a kid. Think the CD came in a cereal box or something. Played through the same beginner campaign a bunch of times. Was fun.

AoE2 changed the game though. Absolutely amazing. The controls felt so much more fluid and the campaigns were so much fun to play though and see the story. We managed to network all the family computers and would have big family multiplayer battles against the computer (dad carried us kids though).

My brother loved Mythology and while it looked pretty I never really got into it. Something about it felt slower paced and kinda hand-holdy.

AoE3 was just weird. You had a home base that persisted through games, how is that fair? And playing cards were involved somehow? The ragdoll physics was cool though.

AoE4 is okay I guess. I participated in the beta program because I was so excited for them to produce something that might surpass AoE2 but… Naah. It just doesn’t have the right feel to it. Very pretty though. They keep coming out with new content but until it feels right (something about the way the window scrolls and zooms) I just cant enjoy it.

We prefer the term “wagile”.

I found that book tawdry, and I completely agree that there was not sufficient killing of mockingbirds!

They’re not concerned with product, they’re concerned with profit. They’re strategically cutting away bits and pieces that don’t make money. Incidentally, these are all the fun and exciting bits, leaving behind the blandness.

That, and also “there’s already regulations, kids, we ain’t changing shit”

The takeaway for me is that game companies are just gonna put something in their TOS that explicitly says the game will only remain playable until they decide to give up on it.

So they’ve really ignored the point of the petition huh

Autumn’s already here. Marking stuff by seasons is disgustingly self-centred for an international company.

2 of my 6 disks are failing thanks to WD’s EFAX line

Bastards

This sounds really freaking cool! I was looking for something more in-depth than just koreader launched via nickelmenu. The world of e-ink just doesn’t seem well supported in the custom firmware space. Gonna give this a try on my Glo!

I tried installing Linux on the new work laptop yesterday.

The keyboard wasn’t recognised. The fucking keyboard.

Apparently it’s fixed in kernel 6.6 but nothing has that yet coz they’re all using the earlier LTS

Why can’t I scroll on that site?

I mostly transcode overnight using tdarr to a format that’s compatible with most of my devices, but for on-the-fly it’s nice to have a performant hardware option. I was really hoping to get away from Intel for the next build though

The page on AMD’s website says 65W TDP so much the same as any other desktop CPU. Might be a bit much for HTPC depending on cooling? I dunno

I’m interested in this for my TrueNAS server to offload Plex transcoding. I’m about due for an upgrade, the current hardware is about 10 years old.

I hated it.
