Outside of large channels with millions of subs that now only get thousands of views, Stumpt in general for clean fun and HeroVoltsy for their pokemon fangame/rom hack content. Voltsy’s how I discovered almost every single pokemon fangame I have ever played.
Funny enough, my college pushed me to a Linux dual boot.
One of my classes required an Ubuntu environment for C++ programming, and after trying and failing to get WSL working, I decided to just dual boot (from 2 separate SSDs) instead of trying to work around the limitations of a VM.
On the other hand, 2 of my other classes required a Windows-only program.
I used to default to Windows, but after the BS from Microsoft this year I switched to defaulting to Ubuntu.
It’s a spammer with a hard on against mbfc who has been posting shit “memes” across different instances. Best to block and ignore whenever you see an alt pop up
The not that got down voted every time I saw it and and I never see in months? The hurt in the butt had be have been enormous to hate it so much to still be posting about it .
If you’re in the US you can legally order spores, the equivalent of seeds, and have it mailed to you if you don’t live in CA, ID, GA. it’s for research purposes and you shouldn’t follow these steps to easily grow your own mushroom. . I can’t emphasize enough that you should NOT put spores in a sterilized grow medium like rice or oats.
I actually met my wife because I commented on her ankles. At a bar, she went the wrong way and did a 180. I saw how beautiful she was, wanted to take a shot, mentally went down the list of appropriate body parts to comment on without coming off creepy or thirsty, and shouted, “Nice ankles.”
you opt out of all, they send crap a year later–presumably without conducting other business with them in the meantime, correct? hell yea, that’s spam.
Hmm… I think looking at this from a radio perspective isn’t helpful. I found more resources when ignoring the media. Perhaps par2 or RAR would be useful? Generate error correction media first, then write to media.
Generally in radio, you could just request a retransmission, so I didn’t find much from that angle.
You might also find something useful when looking at tape backup programs. You’re not using LTO, but the principles are the same, so maybe there’s some tooling that would be compatible.
I did use par2 and tar to generate redundancy, but I still need a way to locate it in the bytestream. Tar doesn’t seem to reliably mark the start or end of files :/
Tar doesn’t natively have an index to immediately seek to files in the tar archive, though I know that it’s possible to extend it with an index somehow, because pixz will do a parallel LZMA compression that involves generating and using an index for tar archives.
EDIT: Oh, I think I see what you mean. You’re saying that you want to use tar to store the redundancy files, not generate redundancy data for the file as a whole? Like, a tar of PAR2 files? I don’t think that that’ll work, because you’ll want redundancy for tar’s metadata too.
EDIT2: So what you want is a single bytestream with forward error correction, not a set of files that provide it.

It looks like this guy has an implementation, and says that he’s using Reed-Solomon, but that it’s also just his weekend project, so…shrugs
For a university assignment, I built a compiler for x86; I cheated a bit by relying on LLVM, but it gave me a better understanding of the architecture. I also developed emulators for the NES (Ricoh 2A03) and RISC-V (RV32I) as a hobby. For the latter, I implemented it in FPGA.
Happily, that’s no longer the case these days. TDM was originally a mod, but despite keeping the name, it’s now a standalone game using the open-sourced Doom 3 engine. The whole game is currently free without any purchases necessary!
This reminds me of when I sent someone a program in a zip folder. Windows now opens zip folders by default, and it looks just like any other folder.
So of course they opened the zip and double clicked the exe, but everyone knows you can’t open an exe inside a zip folder (at least, if the exe depends on the folders and files around it). If you try to, windows will extract the exe into a temp space, but leave all the dependencies behind. So the exe promptly crashes.
I didn’t think I needed to specify “you need to extract the contents of the zip folder first, then run the exe.” It feels like saying “you need to take the blender out of the box before you can use it. And not just the _base _ of the blender, you have to take out all the parts.”
Some things just feel so much like second nature that we forget.
Not that I know of. If I know it correctly (not doing it very often as I usually extract the whole content anyway) it just asks if I want to run the file. But I could be very wrong.
There should be instructions that range from beginner, where every little step is included as well as major details as to why - all the way up to expert, which are just a few sentences.
Hay, how would you like writing documentation for all these open source projects? We would be ever greatful, you could even put your name in the credits!
I totally and completely blame Microsoft for this. They do so many other ridiculous things in the name of not confusing the average tech illiterate user.
Clicking a Zip file and having it transparently open and treating it like a regular folder when it is not. This. THIS is borderline criminal.
Imo not really noob-user friendly.
My proposal: Keep current behaviour and make a prompt if the user tries to run an executable. Prompt should be something like “You are trying to open an executable, would you like to extract the whole folder in the current directory?”. This way the user can still browse the zip with relative ease.
Upside from Windows: We have only a handful of extensions unlike (afaik) Linux where everything can be made executable and be run.
In what way? It would make it entirely invisible that the archive file isn’t just a normal folder, it would be possible to use it just as if it were. What would be unfriendly about that?
Have a popup text line in explorer that says “you are browsing inside of a compressed file, you must extract the contents to use them” or something. The functionality is already there, when you go to “network” it says “network sharing and discovery is turned off, click here to turn it on”
In many ways, the silky-smooth convenience offered by modern computer software makes everything much harder to learn about and understand. For anyone that used zip files before this Windows feature, the problem is obvious - but for younger people it’s not obvious at all. Heck, a lot of people can’t even tell whether or not a file is locally on their computer - let alone whether it is compressed in some other file.
One of the few things that Mac kind of got right. Every application is actually a deep tree with all kinds of crap all over the place but they never let the user see that.
Yes, I’m not sure if that is meant to be a placeholder or a substitute for native user links. What it actually does is generate markup that converts the username into a web link, which is fine for most circumstances, but not ideal. A plaintext username should automatically link to the user. This creates an inconsistent behavior between posts depending on where (and when) they were typed.
In other words, it’s a very helpful feature, but it is not recognizing and linking usernames.
yeah exactly. On mbin it works this way and lemmy inserting the link breaks that. But it does it for communities in the community description sometime as well, though I don't know if it is just a user "error" or a lemmy error
Actually that behaviour is very annoying to other platforms. Mbin for example can only link to the lemmy server this user is on and no longer the local profile of that user.
Example: @ user @ lemmy.instance gets converted to [@ user @ lemmy.instance](https:// lemmy.instance/u/user
so on mbin this does not open the profile of the user on the local server, but instead links the lemmy instance, so you leave your instance to view the profile.
(spaces included so this won't get converted to mentions, etc)
Yes they are, but you have my profile on your server and you do not need to leave the server to view my profile... @ user @ lemmy.instance should link to https:// mbin.instance/u/@[email protected] and not to https:// lemmy.instance/u/user
on firefox, if i type @gedal and click or press tab once it replaces the text with @[email protected]. the behavior is the same whether i hit tab, enter or click the text.
It’s not even just that. It seems that the extra @ acts as a separator, so you can’t even autocomplete e.g. @threelonmusketeers@sh as that’ll try to autocomplete @sh instead of taking the instance domain as part of the mention.
In doing this I learned that there are “correct” but also “preferred” ways to use markdown. A heading should have a space after the # even though it is correct either way.
I’m not sure #heading is valid markdown (see, eg, Daring Fireball’s “original” syntax page) … and I’ve never seen it. I’ve always understood that the space was necessary, which I think makes sense for a number of reasons TBH
Didn’t know it worked on reddit. Generally it seems necessary to require the space as it disambiguates headings from hashtags, and also makes the raw text more readable.
