Like laws mean anything anymore.

I bought a laptop without a Windows license from Lenovo years ago. It came with FreeDOS, if I remember correctly. I wanted to install Linux, so I didn't care. In some areas they've been offering this for a while now.

I disagree. It looks leaner. But the code is still there and because it's invisible, it requires you to remember more.

Looks like an AI created a Studio Ghibli spider.

530 dollars for 251 games in almost 22 years of service. Steam only logged about 210 hours in those years, which is bullshit. There's almost no time recorded in Half-life, Day of defeat or Counterstrike and those are the games I played the most. I also got most games through Humblebundle, where I spent 270 dollars since June 2012. But as I haven't been playing much on PC ever since the PS3 came out, the real money went to Sony and I don't even want to know.

There's also a programming language named after him: https://dangermouse.net/esoteric/piet.html

I do enjoy the new assistant in JetBrains tools, the one that runs locally. It truly helps with the trite shit 90% of the time. Every time I tried code gen AI for larger parts, it's been unusable.

Violence is always the solution. If there's an example for major changes implemented without at least an implicit threat of violence, that's the absolute exception. All big changes always require (the threat of) violence.

Exactly. It also means you're being sued by the copyright holder and not the state. You won't go to prison for this shit, as opposed to actual theft.

I never saw a benefit in using Lombok, but I did run into issues with it. As it works outside the compiler, you are basically writing Java+Lombok. And as the article says, with an IDE and a recent JDK there is really no benefit provided by Lombok.

 

I am building a Wireguard tool for myself and I would like to receive events when a peer connects or disconnects. Does someone know if this is possible through some kernel API or EBPF?

 

Hi,

Is there good literature on how to repair stuff? Just general things, not specific appliances. How to repair wood, how to properly sand wood and metal, how to replace a tile, how to read and analyze circuits, identify faulty parts and correct replacements, etc. I just want to become better at repairing stuff.

 

Are there any free/open-source TTS options out there that are on the same level as Google Cloud's? I tried a lot of free ones, but they are absolutely awful and still sound like my Amiga did 30 years ago. With LLMs being available as open source, I am hoping there's also a good TTS offering I just haven't found yet.
