What's the most expensive thing you've come to own that you've never gotten to fully use?

  • Same. I bought a fixer upper and haven't moved in yet due to the very messy renovations I'm doing slowly on evenings and weekends after my full-time job. I'm almost to the point I can move in though.

    • HandBrake 1.8 Video Transcoder Adds GTK4 Port on Linux, FFmpeg 7.0 Support

    Jump

  • I agree with you that the gui toolkit is pretty uninteresting from the users pov, or at least mine. I do wonder if the multi-threaded transcoding pipeline changes in ffmpeg 7 will improve performance in handbrake at all. I'm not sure if Handbrake calls the ffmpeg cli or not.

    • Who played on linux before proton?

    Jump

  • Oh yeah. Back in the late 90s I played all the games ported by Loki Games. I played the native quakes, portal 1 & 2. And using regular Wine and some winetricks I played about 300 hours of Skyrim and completed Mass Effect 1,2,3.

    • What is the most difficult problem that you have fixed in linux?

    Jump

  • You probably remember the libc5 to glibc swap. Bad times to DIY distros.

    Jump

  • Hmm I have come up with a bunch of neat solutions over the years. Where to start?

    One time I broke the sudoers file on a distro without a root account, thoroughly locking myself out. I used docker -v /:/chroot to get myself root access to my root filesystem where I fixed the sudoers file. Protip always use visudo

    • I've actually made this into a full video, because I hate myself.

  • Minification is a curse. Now hear me out... I've wasted so much engineering time trying to figure out why various build scripts fail in docker only to find there's a tool = $(which tool) 2>/dev/null in there eating the real error. Which is missing because someone wanted to save a 100k by not installing it the docker image base image.

    • Biden is using the 'are you better off today' question to contrast himself with Trump

  • Personally I was better off 4 years ago, but I was incredibly lucky during the pandemic. And I dont care about that, I'm not voting for trump no matter what.

    • No charges to be filed in fight involving Oklahoma nonbinary teen Nex Benedict, prosecutor says

  • A bunch of your comments in this thread are saying things that disagree with the details in the article and another that's linked in this one. Where are you getting this info? Because Apnews is one of the few I trust. I'm trying to ascertain if you're worth listening to over the medical examiner that said it was toxic levels of two drugs and that a suicide notes release was up to the family as reported by Apnews.

    “An important part of the Owasso Police Department’s investigation was the discovery of some brief notes, written by Benedict, which appeared to be related to the suicide,” Kunzweiler said. “The precise contents of the suicide note are a personal matter which the family will have to address within the privacy of their own lives.”

    And from a link in the linked article.

    The report shows Benedict had toxic levels of two drugs in their system and died of an overdose. A complete autopsy will be released in 10 days in accordance with state law, the medical examiner’s office said.

    Edit: Furthermore you said

    Neither Benadryl nor Prozac are known to be fatal.

    And this disagrees. https://addictionresource.com/drugs/benadryl/overdose/

    Overdose on Benadryl has been found to be one of the top 15 death-causing drug ODs from the year 2011 through 2016 in the United States.

    Jump

  • My point was more that it was a very rough release even for a .0 and the distros should have waited a bit longer before shipping it as a default. All said I <3 KDE and have been using it since 0.9.6 I think

  • Oh how quickly people forgot about Plasma 4. When a Debian stable is released with Plasma 6 then I'll know it's ready for me. I don't rush into major KDE releases anymore.
