Yea, I love du -hd 1 | sort -h when cleaning up. I absolutely love that I don't need any extra software to quickly locate whatever takes up space. I can do this on any machine without installing anything extra.

Some of this is totally on Google Translate.

In the second picture, the text is 飯テロ見ながら、寝るよ

飯テロ is not "terrorist attacks". 飯 is food, テロ is terrorism, together they form a slang word that is used when someone posts pictures of delicious food while you are hungry.

So, this person was just going to watch food porn while lying in bed, but... Yea, translation error.

Inconsolata LGC with nerd-fonts. I edit all my text and code in Helix, a TUI editor, and having proper support for Cyrillic and Greek is important for me. Also, I like how it looks.

Once a year I just poke at ChatGPT and try to solve some not so common task with it.

I'm a Linux user, last time I tried to forward a MIDI stream to Minecraft with the help of ChatGPT. On Pipewire, Java won't pick up any MIDI sources by default. I was going back and fourth with it for around an hour while it was trying to make me install software for different audio servers and was very confident that this is the correct way. When I get frustrated enough, I do my regular searching routine. In this case, 10 minutes of searching led me to this:

modprobe snd_virmidi

I literally needed to modprobe one driver. Java starts to see Pipewire's MIDI bridge after that. Experiencing this once in a while makes me very confident that this thing would be extermely toxic for anything I do.

You can also ask it about something you are an expert at. The amount of stuff it gets wrong is insane.

I switched from Arch to Gentoo, for me it's just the next step of taking advantage of every last bit of my hardware. But unless you are seriously invested, I would never recommend Gentoo to someone. If you just want something that's up to date, go with Fedora. If you have some spare time, go with Arch. If you have no hobbies at all, go with Gentoo.

I wouldn't recommend vanilla Arch only because of the installation process. CachyOS that simplifies it is an extremely good pick for a person who already knows what a computer is, but wants to try a proper OS.

Arch mostly got it's reputation in the early days. Today some things are a lot easier to do on Arch than on other distros, especially because AUR exists. Also, it built one of the best wikis over all that time.

The one I compiled. The benefits are not that obvious. If you are not into that sort of stuff, I would not recommend it.

But yes, if you don't support as wide of a range of hardware, you can usually squeeze a bit more performance out of your kernel.

Although, most processing time is spent not in kernel code. There will be a difference of course, especially if you know where to look for it, but nothing groundbreaking most of the time.

That's why we disable it and move everything that the program needs access to manually into the prefix, right?

Exactly. Kill la Kill is great not because it's horny, but because of everything else. Fanservice is just a candywrap. And when you have a candywrap without the actual candy (as with a lot of shows today), it fucking sucks.

I love my Gentoo, I'm a bit obsessed with optimizing everything I can. And I can't really do any of that with immutable distos. I'm contemplating very hard on using NixOS for my server, though.

Maybe you can try looking through KDE's Spectale source code to see how they do it?

 

I'm looking for a website that aggregates specs for gamepads/controllers.

For example, for VR headsets we have VRcompare.

Does anything similar exist for gamepads?
