I like that. Creepiest thing about VLC is that it does that even after you’ve killed it

True

then it wont be linux, but a shittily maintained private copy that will fall out of disuse quickly unless they merge all upstream changes without too much oversight (in which case, why bother?) to keep feature parity

True

This joke hasn’t aged well. I took it as is and just assumed the Dad put together a micro PC with a PS2 emulator on it, and then I stared at the article for 5 minutes looking for the punchline.

At first I thought you meant it’d be a bad fork, but then I realise you meant it’d be a bad fork.

As long as it’s open source and vetted by the public, I don’t see how it could go bad tbh

M is 1000 in Latin, or 8 if you convert from binary, which is 3+3+2, and as we all know 3 ~ π, so M is ~ 2+2π = 2(1+π), and we all know that π goes to 0, for small values of π, leaving us with M = 2. So, Fry was right.

Radicale+DavX5 is for calendars and contacts, no? How does this work for passwords

How does this play with mobile?

It looks like a Pegasus or a stegosaurus

no, but they pretend otherwise, so them publicly salivating for it is a new level of embarrassing.

I keep mine only attached to ad-hoc networks with no outside signal, but there’s literally no saying whether it has its own modem

Given the measurable power output, I’d think not, but who’s to say what it does when connected to stable power node after X hours.

ESP32

I love this chip :'-(
say it ain’t so

I would genuinely love to see your setup/RC scripts if that’s something you can share without doxxing yourself

You do the decomposition in your head to get the raw image, replace pixels, and then recompose the jpeg, taking note of the diff. That diff is what you then swap into the original with sed.

Ooh, name me some please!

The ESP32 is a pretty versatile chip. Here’s a walkie-talkie someone made from one

For painting from the command line, I use sed to replace data at given offsets

sed -i '1s|^.\{10\}.\{5\}|\0*****|' image.jpg

It requires decoding the jpeg in my head to get the said offsets, but the pragmatism is unbeatable.

Aseprite

Software that should have been around for the Amiga

is this something I need to do every single update?
