nina's little fedi corner

i hate the netfilter git

they have been making update-checking a pain for a long time until i switched to internal git endpoints for fetching the tags list and...

now they put even the git endpoints behind anubis and only disable it for git user agents

just let me fetch the version list, damn it

i like kde a lot less when it comes to the overall ui/ux but if there's one feature that tempts me, it's the fact that you can shake the cursor and it grows to infinite size

oh this is neat

so i built vkquake in chimera out of curiosity and it picked up my steam copy of the remastered quake automatically

.... and it plays dimension of the machine without any graphical issues or anything, out of the box

that expansion was made for the remaster (which isn't even quake engine, it just imitates it but can do a whole lot more), it's not even supposed to work

darkplaces can load it and render it but with terrible lighting issues and so on, this just works

one really bad thing about codeberg: the archives it generates for tags are not reproducible

there have been mulitple instances of a package lately failing to build because the tarball checksum has changed between cports git push and the builder receiving it

in all cases, archive contents identical; tarball size nearly the same; checksums different

by any chance has anyone experimented with using something other than xvfb for the firefox pgo harness

i'd love to move xorg outside main/ soon (probably as soon as kde plasma 6.8 releases and drops x11 support) but besides that (and sddm still using x11 which we have a solution for that'll get merged probably at the same time as plasma 6.8), firefox is the only thing keeping it in

of course we can't use a headless wayland compositor because firefox is still using gtk3 which doesn't like not having a seat with wayland

just crossed the border to czechia

two weeks on my own now... ​

also interested in selling a fully working raptorcs blackbird power9 board with 8-core/32-thread cpu, heatsink+fan, 32GB RAM (i think that's what I have in it? or just without ram works too?)

this one won't be free but for a reasonable price (say 1000€? the same bundle is currently listed for a lolprice of upwards of $4k on the official site however i don't aim to make a profit so this is slightly under what i originally got the bundle for)

i'll be giving away a power mac g5 (dualcore 2.3GHz PCI-E, comes with 16GB RAM but lately i could only get 4 to register - probably some contacts issue that is likely fixable, as it started happening after not booting it for a while - and no HDD)

as well as a dual 1.25GHz power mac G4 MDD (should be okay but untested for a while, no HDD, no GPU)

and a powerbook G4 15" 2004 (with radeon 9600, one RAM slot dead, and a row of keys on the keyboard does not work presumably due to corrosion, should work fine but needs the keyboard replaced, usb is fine, also has an SSD in it)

if anyone is interested in getting these in Brno (Czechia) lmk

i don't want anything for them i just want to be rid of them

when you look into the linux kernel rust source tree and a bunch of it is imported dtolnay crates

​

when crates.io goes down for a few hours and now you can't even build mesa because it needs to download shit as a part of its build process and it's returning 500

groups targeting the railway for environmental or whatever reasons is the dumbest shit

how about y'all blow up the highway or something instead of targeting one of the things in the modern world that are legitimately good and useful

a very serious ongoing argument, determining that my girlfriend is the cutest

she vehemently disagrees and opines that it is actually me

i give counterpoint that it is not possible for us both to be that, and since she is already the cutest, it is not possible for me to be so, therefore she is

she even tried to claim her approach is scientific even though i proceeded  to expose it is based entirely on vibes

is my logic wrong

we're playing halo coop with gf and just finished the first campaign

i guess the main thing you need to know about halo is that while it looks like this very serious scifi military shooter it's actually really funny but not even in a particularly clowny way

the game is pretty interesting in how transitional it feels

on one hand it's obviously a 2001 shooter (warthog vehicle physics oof) and feels very grounded but on the other hand you can see all the stuff that it came up with that became a staple of every modern shooter

but yeah it's a nice story with enough substance, it's casual and fun to play and very streamlined, it has a nice soundtrack, and the rocket launcher melee animation does a big donk

and the sense of humor is excellent

we're discussing the origins of plants and vegetables

from what i can tell it basically goes like

europe: has exactly one vegetable, brassica oleracea

ancient europeans: fuck you we'll grow *every* vegetable out of this

yesterday inspired us to get some actual fladenbrot (from grocery store to be finished in the oven) and make our own version for breakfast

filled with hummus, cucumber, tomato, boiled egg

is so good

a reason i'm skeptical about projects started to big conveniently timed publicity by notable foss e-celebs is that the common pattern i see often ends up being them not being able to stick with their new toy for longer than a few months

best case it gets adopted and maintained by other people, worst/more common case is looking at the repo after a few months and seeing little to no real activity

i'm not referring to anything specific, more like a continuous observation
