  • 吃鸡 literally means "eat chicken" but it's just an expression and here it refers to gaming. Like "eat crow" is an English idiom that makes no sense if translated literally to other languages.

  • Borg for backup. I'm really surprised it's not more widely known. It's an incredible piece of software.

    Also, not really lesser known software, but a lesser known feature of file systems including the ones we use in FOSS operating systems: extended file attributes - useful to add metadata to files without modifying them.

  • +1 for Whisper. Also, I use Piper for the reverse (text-to-speech).

  • It's interesting, but I don't think viewing order has to be chronological. If someone is adamant about watching everything, I'd recommend they go by production order.

  • "tell me you fucked your sister without telling me you fucked your sister" - "I can relate to Túrin Turambar"

  • Not sure it satisfies your requirements but I'm quite happy with Baïkal.

  • Borg is great.

  • Also, if I'm not mistaken the uninitialized prop is not guaranteed to be nullptr here, so this private destructor could be trying to free from some random pointer.

  • Somebody should tell him decibels go into the negative numbers

  • This was just an outline of what you could do in the scenario, not a full solution. Looking up the keywords, "Apptainer" (+sandbox), ".sif", and "AppImage" should give you a starting point, and any specific questions can be answered separately. You are right that people could be jerks to beginners but this is rarely the intent. Not all discourse about Linux has to be at a beginner level, and packaging legacy software is not really a beginner topic.

  • Cuda

  • I've been working with CUDA for 10 years and I don't feel it's that bad...

  • But where's the mian? 😜

  • While it's a stupid question which he wouldn't have asked a white guy, it's not wholly illegitimate. Shou Zi Chew has major business ties to Mainland China, which is not a secret.

  • Funny but not so accurate. We don't actually know when Legolas was born, we don't know that the mithril coat was actually forged in Erebor (it could certainly have been brought during the resettlement from the Grey Mountains), and we don't know what "some young elf-prince long ago" actually means and that none was born since the fouding of Erebor (I don't think we have an exhaustive list of noble elves from the text).

  • Pull a docker image of an old distro into an apptainer sandbox, install what you need within, then make a .sif image, should work pretty much in perpetuity. You can also try to make an Appimage.

  • Abrechnung is really good and actively developed and improving. The UI is already pretty satisfactory, and there's also an API which is needed if for example you want to bulk-import a spreadsheet, for now you have to code it a bit.
