Find me on Mastodon, if you want.
I want to like Forgejo but the name is really terrible.
Is it “forj-joe”? Nah, that double-J sound is way too awkward.
Do you then merge the J sounds to make “forjo”? If so, why not just call it that?
Is it maybe “for-geh-joe”? That seems the most likely to me, but then that ignores the “build < forge” marketing on their website.
I know it’s pretty inconsequential, but it feels weird using a tool that you don’t even know how to pronounce the name of.
Seems like a “haha JS bad” kind of joke, but OP seems to forget that Python is also in a similar boat.
You at least have to know that it’s a meme format. Otherwise it just looks like someone complaining about async with a bad crop.
Interestingly, this JXL loads in Boost, but the one in the post doesn’t. Perhaps it’s because it’s inside a comment?
I would say finding that the bug is in a library is worse than finding it in your own code.
If it’s your own code, you just fix it.
If it’s in a library you then have to go and search for issues. If there isn’t one, you then go and spend time making one and potentially preparing a minimum reproducible example. Or if you don’t do that (or it’s just unmaintained) then you have to consider downgrading to a version that doesn’t have the bug and potentially losing functionality, or even switching to another library entirely and consequently rewriting all your code that used the old one to work with the new one.
Yeah, I’d take my own bugs over library bugs any day.
Supporting your position through things created in your brain is called “explaining yourself”, or more specifically “explaining the rationale behind your position”.
Did you think you were being clever?
It moves but still seems way too slow. Perhaps there’s a really strong headwind slowing it down?
Yes, not everything needs to work. But everyone needs the things they want to work, if that makes sense. In other words: everyone has different requirements.
I require SteamVR to run acceptably in order to play VR games on my main computer. I have yet to find a distro that satisfies this requirement, so I must use Windows since it is the only thing that works for that use case.
Conversely, I do not require VR support on my laptop. Everything I want to do with my laptop can be done to an acceptable level with Linux, so I run Linux on my laptop. Simple.
Some software unfortunately requires it. Yes, Wine/Proton exists, but it doesn’t fix everything.
I tried Chocolatey first, but ended up using Scoop after a while. It’s been years so I can’t remember why, but there was something about it that annoyed me enough to make the switch.
Oh, for sure. I do like using FOSS and Windows is my primary OS (for game compatibility reasons), but I’m saying that the number of Windows users who care enough about FOSS to seek out an F-Droid equivalent is very low, which is likely why nobody has bothered to build one yet.
Windows users generally don’t care as much about using open source software, so there isn’t really an audience for such a place.
For me, Scoop feels faster and I also don’t have to remember/find the package name of what I want to install.
If I want to install Everything, I just type scoop install everything
. I wanted Everything, it installs Everything. Easy. If I try winget install everything
, no. I have to remember the author as well and type winget install voidtools.Everything
. It’s just a bit annoying.
Plus, I know where all my software is with Scoop. Windows installers love flinging files all over your system, but with Scoop they’re all in the apps folder. It’s not always the case, but I trust Scoop apps to stay where they are more than Windows installers.
Whoops, I meant 53. My bad, I’ll edit my comment.
I recently replaced my old server (big case + i5-4590 8GB) with a new mini-PC (with a 5560U 16GB). The new one sips power and is so quiet in comparison. The 6TB HDD I had in the old one is currently just attached by a USB-SATA cable. I do intend to 3D print a mount for it to look a bit nicer, but you know what they say: there’s nothing more permanent than a temporary solution.
I’m also trying Alpine + Podman on it instead of Ubuntu server + Docker. Most of it went without a hitch, though I do have an issue with PiHole not working because something called aardvark is using port 53 and Podman needs that running in order to work.
I also attached an old(ish) midrange phone to it with Termux for use as a low-power ARM server (just for playing around, really). I also intend to use it to test Rust code on ARM. I’m not sure what else to use it for though, so any suggestions are appreciated :)
Edit: Changed port 22 to 53, whoops.
I’m from England and I thought you were talking about the chocolate.
I would say upvotes are thanks enough. But if you have something extra to say, then I’d say thanks in a comment and then give your extra information there.
For example, just “Thanks! That was useful/entertaining/enlightening/etc.” as a comment is pretty pointless, as an upvote conveys that exact message. Nothing more and nothing less.
If you have something more to say, then a comment would be appropriate. Perhaps something like: “Thanks! I did your X method with a bit of extra Y and now my car runs so much quieter!”.
This is especially true if your extra information would be useful to others who may also be reading the thread.
Did you really just compare eating to shooting a gun?
