Things are still wonky, still needs to be polished

>>1284 You're using the development branch as a daily driver?

>>1378 Development branch is the testing branch, edge itself is just the rolling release repository. It's extremely stable, the only issue I ever had was gimp being recognised as updated when it was still on version 2, I just had to reinstall it to properly have version 3. Other than that I never had any problem

>>1353 thanks the 11 hours I get is after applying all those optimisations you suggested but as >>1355 Says, enabling amd_pstate driver did yeild better results by utilising the newer hardware powersaving features of my CPU . But I think this applies to my specific machine as opposed to something that would work with a ThinkPad . Using 'indicator cpufreq' to cap the max CPU clock to 500mhz while doing light tasks like reading PDFs also boosts the battery tremendously and make the laptop be comfy enough to used on the lap without getting 3rd degree burns I was basically trying to see if I can outlast MacBooks of my colleagues and not have to carry the 2 kilo brick of a charger ROGs come with

>2kilo charger Lol what I have 48w charger and it's super light. Another is 65w and it's barely a kilo.

>>1383 woaw

The only thing I hate is the slow emerge times , but it's because I have a shitty laptop Surprisingly this is the most stable I've felt using a linux distro

You guys just made me interested in gentoo again. I used it for a couple years back when i was a noob and exploring. It was a bit difficult to set up then , over 10hrs of compilation. LOL this time it'll be much easier

i love gentoo and i used it for years, but i got tired of having to compile everything, takes too damn long. i use debian now.

>>507 we need more of this

Recently got an autismo blast from my brain, so I need to make a mini-rant on it. Accordingly to this stinky piece of shit https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000093216/graphics/processor-graphics.html GVT-g is supported on up to Rocket Lake. Factually, only up to gen 9 https://github.com/intel/gvt-linux/issues/190 Newer GPUs require SR-IOV, but it is not mainlined and you literally need to be retard to use some third party shit kernel. AMD do not have any consumer grade solutions either, there seem to be some cards that support SR-IOV, but they are enterprise grade and there isn't any documentation anyway, not that you need it of course since you can't afford to buy the card in the first place NVidia is a huge L.M.A.O and I don't take it seriously anymore. On the other hand, 9th gen intel CPUs are from 2018 which makes then 7 years old. Not bad perhaps, buy my CPU is from 2016 so I hardly give a fuck about a two years' gain No, this is not really a problem for me since I won't be able to afford new hardware in many years to come but it still irritates me no end how everything only ever goes downhill. True, maybe some years later we'll all die it won't be relevant anymore at all, the main solution seems to be full PCI passthrough already People bitch about how virtualization is so cool and usable, there are even a few qubes retards around (or maybe just one), who seem to be autistically obsessed with compartmentalization whatever advantage that shit gives them But the facts are such that consumer grade virtualization does not exist. There's VMWare but let's be serious I'm not gonna install rootkit to sexually stimulate my compulsions There are no state of the art open source solutions. In fact, the further hardware advances, the less usable it becomes, the fewer the feautres I don't even mention this new AI schizophrenia with CPUs tuned for AI training, my ass what a fucking jew tier scam I can't believe the shit actually exists and sells. Without proper GPU virtualization, using virtual machines for regular tasks is simply not viable. If you need a separate GPU, you're going to have a much smoother experience buying a second machine instead. So modern virtual machines are literally a crude barely usable workaround for poorfags Poor candy ass needs windowses to do their whatever school/college/midwit-job-that-does't-pay related shit is required of them? They'll just have to suffer through it mans from higher social classes can afford hardware, so they hardly give a fuck I don't mean to demean anyone or to complain or to even say they're not right, it's just so annoying. It constantly nags me that mans reserve all the good things for themselves alone. I'll try to meditate more and want less things, but until then, you'll have to make peace with this rant's existence

>uids 1 holy shit i have been samefagging all along

>>665 >takes file pointer >uses imaginary filesystem argument with the pointer as an index what did this genius mean by that?

>>666 I LOVE LUA

Java is my primary language after trying multiple languages over the years. For a long while I was crazy into functional programming but then the inability or extreme inconveniene to write traditional for loops, early returns, breaks, continues and responsible mutations hindered my productivity, my program's performance and I would have to write a lot of recursive and conditional boilerplate. Java is pretty underrated and usually blamed for things that it does not cause. A lot of the boilerplate and OOP mess people complain about comes not from Java itself but from the Java developer mentality in the industry.

>>231 Lua and C, best combination ever

>>1357 you tell me

>>1358 angry because nobody is fondling you rn

>>1360 i fondle myself 3 times a day wanna me fondle you as well?

>>1361 please fondle meeeeee I can fondle you too

>>1134 did you rockbox your hifiwalker H2? how did you do that?

>>1294 I don't have anything interesting to post on it though, other than pirated ebooks.

>>1295 make a site dedicated to teaching people about torrenting or something. just something bro. make a neocities.

i am making a personal site on neocities as a project to learn html and css, but i do not knopw very much at all and it is far from complete. maybe when it's closer to completion i'd consider adding it to a webring.

I've followed the LC ring threads for yeaaars but never posted any site I made because they're all smart nerds posting blogs about the same tech stuff I don't understand plus thats kind of their theme. if more h3 sites are posted I might join too, since people here are less intimidating but I also buy new domains every year when I think of something new, so maybe I wait

>>1305 just post, nobody else will

>>1341 I know there's some SGI boards that use their own protocol or whatever but mine's a 9500829 that just uses PS/2, I don't actually have anything to plug it into, though... My PC motherboard doesn't have a PS/2 port sadly, I convert my vintage keyboards to USB with Pro Micros or get custom PCBs made for them. The Model M is a good board, enjoy it! I assume you meant to say rubber dome (Quiet Touch) instead of membrane because all Model Ms use a membrane for sensing, even the buckling spring ones. I own a few Model Ms myself, but I prefer my Model Fs since the springs are a bit lighter and the bottom-out is firmer. I actually "cushionless modded" one of my Ms and I think it feels much nicer, though I wouldn't recommend it for most people since it took ages and there's a possibility of breaking stuff, also changes the sound a lot which you may not like.

>>1342 oh ok so that's why they fried. personally i use a cheap ps/2 to usb converter for now because i suck ass at soldering btw a couple of years have passed since i researched into it before buying (forgot all the terminologies) but yes i was talking about later variants using rubber dome >though I wouldn't recommend it for most people since it took ages and there's a possibility of breaking stuff, also changes the sound a lot which you may not like. yeah just for the rarity of these things where i live (not US) i'm even scared to just clean it up. by the way, do you know if the springs eventually break and if there's a way to change them (how?)

>>1344 I don't live in the US either, so I know how it is, it took me a while to build up the collection I have. Those who search long and hard enough are rewarded... No, buckling springs don't go bad on their own as long as you don't mess with them, and Yes, there is a way to replace them using a toothpick or something I believe, you don't need to if they all work fine though so don't worry about it. What you *might* have to worry about is that the Model M keyboard assembly is held together using melted plastic rivets that eventually break off over time and cause the keyboard to not feel/sound good anymore or even not function properly. This can be remedied by replacing the rivets that break off with screws and washers as illustrated in pic related. Your Model M might be in good enough condition that it doesn't need it, though. Give it a gentle shake to hear if there are any small plastic parts rattling around inside, that would likely be broken-off rivets.

>>1345 thank you, saved! i'm going to look it up this summer when i have to clean it a little ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ

>>1346 Here's the hardware you need for it, M2x8 Self-Tapping Screws (Countersunk) and M2.5 or M3 Washers (6mm or 7mm Outer Diameter), you will need 60 of both to fully screw mod a fullsize Model M, but I recommend only replacing rivets that have broken off and leaving those that are still intact alone. Make sure you have a 5.5mm nut driver to actually open your Model M up, as well. Screw mod isn't to be confused with bolt mod, which is an older mod that accomplishes the same thing, but is more intensive and finicky.

>>1330 which distro do you use now

>>49 I'm on mint right now

>>1331 Alpine Linux

My first one was Mint, now I use Void. (1337 get)

A get deserving to be taken by a voidfag

>>1319 If you've never had a cs job it's ok to just say that

>>1320 I have not D: Are you more productive programming with others? Doubt it.

>>1321 100%. If you're not, you're just doing it wrong or thinking about it the wrong way

>>1317 If it's work, you just work with people and that's it. Personal projects? You will likely make all of them by yourself, mostly because it's not easy to have visibility on the internet just like that. You can try to contribute to already-existing open-source projects, but it's much easier idea-wise and motivation-wise to work on your own stuff rather than learning someone else's codebase and then figure out and idea of what could be changed that you can implement.

>>1326 About >figuring out what you could implement The probably best way is to use the software and find out why it's garbage (because it always is)

>>77 how does it work?

im currently replying on my most recent project, a school laptop running whatever distros of linux i feel like gonna rice the hell out of it and have people pay me to do the same to theirs (already made 20 bucks )

>>2 a webserver in Lua. just finished writing a little extension for it so it can chroot and drop privileges. pic not related

i'm currently working on a wiki software! in php of course I plan for very basic features, simple markdown parser.

I've written a few personal projects over the years, but this time I'll write a nice Linux tool. It will be a CLI program that can handle battery charge thresholds, laptop backlight brightness and CPU min frequency, max frequency, governor and turbo toggles. This will be easy due to the fact that hardware is interpreted as files on Linux, so it's easy to modify these values

>>1290 muerte it really is hard to find a decent ide/code editor that is lightweight and graphical, or one that is TUI but not vim-like, the options are basically narrowed down to geany, kate, micro and maybe some other editor i don't know about

>>1307 I never figured geany out

>>1310 I was very confused at first but things become simpler when you ignore the functionalities related to projects and project files when trying to load a whole project directory or import it. If you enable the file-browser plugin and just manually open source files from your explorer, it becomes much simpler/flexible/universal, etc. That's how I use geany and it's very nice that way

>>492 pure vim with no extensions

>>492 VSCodium for most stuff, neovim for quick stuff or for ricing. Ricing in VSCodium just feels wrong.
