maybe if you store them better than I did they dont become unreadable son quickly. personally I’ve sadly not much luck with them. Thankfully it did push me to find new encodes of the shows and I got much better quality replacements for most of them

used to have a bunch of DVDs with my favourite shows. but I kept them on a spindle and didn’t look at them for years, only to find out they had all become unreadable

rookie mistake, they forgot to rip it first

you won’t be able to tell, but at least when I was taught ages ago, they advised to call out verbally before approaching, and then circle around to approach from the back to prevent them pushing you under in an attempt to draw a breath. and that’s after trying to find other ways to save them than getting in yourself

current sodium ion tech is great for stationary use and for cold climates. beyond that, lithium ion will be more useful

it really bothers me that it’s called Marxist theory when the vast majority of it is actually hypothesis

affable? who am I, Chris Broad?

that’s what I’d do for a state machine implementation too

as someone who would also reach for a state machine when doing simple parsing… what’s the better alternative in python?

OK, but the fastest ssds these days tend to M.2 PCIE5 x4 drives and they pretty much all start at 1TB. Maybe I’m not looking in the right places, but I wouldn’t know where to find a smaller, faster drive

Intel optane? is there even any advantage left for optane compared with a fast, modern nvme disk?

heh, funny you should say that

heretic! the only dogmatically correct setup is

• helix
• fedora
• systemd
• rust
• whatever fits your workflow
• gecko
• nushell

Republicans typically lead on the economy (… snip …)

heh sure they do, it’s certainly not like the economy tends to do worse under republican admins

wow, there’s so little city in this city… where are the people supposed to be?

ah we don’t really use those features much. as long as we can hang out and chat as a friend group, we’re good

which features are missing from xmpp that are necessary for most gamer groups? is it the protocol that is missing the support, or specific implementations? genuinely asking since I’d been considering setting up an xmpp server for my gaming groups

the issue isn’t just that she’s reading and hearing these comments online, the issue is that teenage boys are doing so. social media has normalised this kind of behaviour to them, and they bring those views with them to the real world where girls will interact with them: school, sports clubs etc.

I burned loads of DVDs with my favourite shows in the mid 2000s, almost none of them were readable only a few years ago… good thing is I switched to a jellyfin server and found better encodes of pretty much all the shows
