Thanks for the heads up - my gamepad is still normal amounts of chonk.

I think I had more fun with the WiiU than the switch. Mario 3D world, tropical freeze, Mario kart, splatoon, captain toad and botw. On switch I enjoyed metroid but can't think of anything else. Unfair comparison since I was different amounts of busy for each console, just surprised me how badly it sold.

That's a good point - I think I have a USB SSD case somewhere

I tried on docker but couldn't get the USB Z wave to pass through. Simpler for me to let it live on the pi (until the SD card dies and I forget how any of the HA config works and have to do it all again)

Both, I think? Respecting the craft and expertise of the way we used to do things is important, but the author is being melodramatic and I wanted to poke some fun.

That's wildly incorrect and somehow serves to underscore the original point.

Scribes were not glorified photocopiers; they had to reconcile poorly written and translated sources, do a lot of research on imperfect and incomplete information, try to figure out if the notes in the margin should be included in future transcriptions, etc. Their work required real subject matter expertise, training and technique, was painstaking and excruciating, and many hand written manuscripts are absolutely works of art.

The thing I hate the most about the printing press and its ease of access: the slow, painful death of the scribe's soul—brought not by war or scarcity, but by convenience. By type. By machines. [...]

There was once magic here. There was once madness.

Monks would stay up all night in candlelit scriptoriums with bloodshot eyes, trying to render illuminated manuscripts without smudging their life's work. They cared. They would mix pigments from crushed beetles just to see if they'd hold. They knew the smell of burnt parchment and the exact angle of quill where their hand would cramp after six hours. These were artists. They wrote letters like master craftsmen—full of devotion, precision, and divine chaos.

Now? We're building a world where that devotion gets mechanized at the door. Some poor bastard—born to be great—is going to get told to "review this Gutenberg broadsheet" for eight hours a day, until all that wonder calcifies into apathy. The scriptorium will become a print shop. The quill a lever.

For me too, on Summit

I spent ages trying to find this again because it makes me happy.

I just get happier with each passing month that I don't use windows anymore. The freedom of having my hardware and data no longer serving the corporate interests of the operating system vendor is great.

It was the friends we made along the way

Grandiosa shouldn't count

After a decade of using the bare minimum vi modes I just yesterday discovered I could use visual mode to jointly indent multiple lines.

I will still prefer pycharm every day of the week over vim, but yesterday I needed to modify code on a server and rebuild some docker containers. I couldn't be arsed setting up my local env, making a merge request etc and was pretty impressed that a combination of screen, vim, docker compose and git - all available via SSH, was a complete toolset for getting an emergency change deployed and an app running again.

Some wholesome internet right here

that is cool. I hadn't tried konsole before - there are menus for days in here, I'll never get any work done lol. Slick, and makes that fedora kde fling I have been considering more tempting.

These days it's more Spinach Mail Transfer Protocol

Edit after I saw the Popeye comment: Sailor Man Transport Protocol

OK I'll stop now.

Ouch.

Beatsaber has a good soundtrack

update to say that tabby is nice for ssh including key auth, and with profiles and groups it gets most of the job done. There is an sftp "plugin" but all it does is summon sftp. Will see if I can get it to open filezilla and use the env vars in calling the command. Setting aside RDP for now as guac looks like a good fit there.

The switch already results in online ban if you play an online game with a hacked console, which they need to do to protect against cheaters.

Yeah that's illegal. It's the customers hardware once they buy it. Still gonna hack it like every Nintendo console before.
