>day 1461 of regretting Colemak don't fall for memelayouts...
>>107808737No wonder you're regretting your decision - you should be using Colemak Mod-DH.
just switch to dvorak and stop layout-hopping.
switching off qwerty was probably one of the best computing decisions I ever made. Second only to using linux exclusively.
Why not?
>>107808988>Why not?My GNU/loonix distro just werks, so no reason..........yetBut I have this little nigga in my sights. I sent windows to hell when it started to become jeetified, Ill do the same with linux if everything goes to shit, and FreeBSD is next on the list of things to try in the futureAnd yes, Ill use it as my DESKTOP. What are you going to do about it, jerks? NOTHINGThe only real and fair complaints I usually see about it: >"GAYMING IS DIFFICULT"doesnt matter, I dont play anything>"WIFI DIED"doesnt matter, I dont use wifi>"MY FAVORITE SOFTWARE ISNT AVAILABLE ON BSD"skill issue>"ITS TOO HARD"skill issueAnything else I should keep in mind to prepare in advance?
>>107809913I run my server using a lightweight desktop environment because I can't see my battery percentage on the tty, also because it shivers my spine seeing a black screen with white text, though I'm not scared of the terminal and I mostly use the terminal for my stuff>t. Running a server using a laptop
>>107808988Linux and all the Unix ilks have massive driver problems. Buy any USB Wifi dongle and try to set up your OS from scratch using that. It's completely fucked.
>>107809100If you have SR-IOV there's a way to use a bare linux vm to just run the card and pipe the connection to the fbsd host
>>107809983things like 'fdisk -l' wont do what you think it willif you use ports, it should be similar to gentoo but you can either using the latest or a quarterly snapshotif you stick to pkg, things should "just work" but you might need certain options that arent available with pkg. just make sure you keep in mind that you can shoot yourself in the foot very easily>>107810234https://github.com/pgj/freebsd-wifiboxive seen this before but i dont normally use wifi

Sales are over, bros.Fuck, after two months of nonstop coupons, sales and shit it almost feels surreal.Not all of them were equally good but now we have nothing.Wat nou?
>>107807378I gave them a good review. Because I'm a good boy.>>107809590Wait for FIFA 2026 promotion. I'm sure of it.
Whats the deal with the the "special price" being $15 but when I add it to my cart it jumps up to $17
>>107810434shipping?new customer deal but you have two objects in your cart so it applies the new customer deal to some other object? (the solution here it to buy a single item you want to spend the new customer bonus on so it does not scam you by using the good deal on a cheap item)
>>107810575I don't think so it looks like when I use the buy it now function it gives me the $15 priceI think I might be getting chinked
> 400Wh / 1kg> 100% charge in 5 minutes> no rare earths> cheaper than lithium> 100000 cycles> -30º c to 100ºc operating temperature range> no fire riskWtf? Legit or bullshit?
Sounds legit lmao

>>107800630>>107801795Finland has been a key player in the history of ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition). Looking through the details the scientist studied in Tampere university which has been involved in the research in this technology as well. Finns are generally very honest and it would be a total social, business and academic suicide for that company if they are scamming with this. The guy presenting this has sold his former company to SAP so they have delivered before. I'd say I 'll wait and see before calling this a fraud.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_layer_deposition
>>107807664It is
>>107806102>can't be both better and cheaper.Actual breakthrough tech is, yes. This is bullshit though. >>107808265Idgaf where they're from, the published info is too thin to be believable. They're con men running a con.
>There's no easy way to daisy-chain all of the linux-capable processors in my house into a make-shift renderfarm to make up for the fact that the AI grift has made compute horrendously expensiveWhat are you nerds good for? I've got two phones, a tablet, a gaming tower, a gaming laptop, a PS3, a PS4, a Wii, a TV, two smart speakers, and a suspiciously full-featured massage gun. That's gotta add up to at least, what, a 5070?
>>107809209any idea how to get past the GUI part though? I feel like text-based apps are easy to do with this but offloading GUI shit is going to hurt bad. Does X server solve this problem?also, is this basically what plan 9 tried to do?
>>107809226Combo of client GUI and backtracking to CLI interfaces for things that don't need GUIs? User-friendly CLI interfaces are a lost art, but getting back to that might be helpful in more ways than one.Pie-in-the-sky, I'd also like to revisit chording for input. Also helps with my ulterior motive of prepping for a wearable computing revolution once things get a little better.I realize that I'm not being practical at all. Might actually be schizo. I don't really know what's out there for this kind of thing and wanted to see what others knew about.
>>107809008>You're forgiven for whatever the hell you're going on aboutEither you understand the subject or you don't. Rhetorical idiocy is, well.. dumb. It makes accusations of posing feel like a confession (schizophrenia, too). Just say what you mean.>small electronics can get broken down into components and those can get tested and used in other electronics.>Break down functioning units to build custom hardware that is more performant as long as you don't need an unavailable component or screw up the microsoldering or short something or-You're smart enough to understand that the point is to make do with what's on hand, yes?
>>107808442>What are you nerds good for?Nothing.Haven't you learned this by now?

USB-C audio is lossless and superior
Lots of people my age on /g/ had an lg v60. Or just older iphones in general which always had competent dacs. The graphene guy is just shilling his not yet released partner phone which is obviously not going to have 3.5mm.
>>107809844it's all so fucking transparent
>>107809844why would it have a 3.5mm jack? 99.99% of people don't use 3.5mm headphones anymore
>>107802457Ok give us two usb-c ports then.

>yeah bro nixpkgs is the biggest repo of all the loonix distributions trust me broWhy I can't fucking cross compile for armv5 then? Should I really use a vm because troons are too busy dilating and can't add a compiler?Its fucking here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/armv5-eabi-glibc-bleeding-edge-toolchain
>>107808578nixos doesn't support any armv5 computers. what the fuck are you using that uses armv5? i don't think i've had anything older than v7.
>>107809312It's an old qnap shitbox, I'm trying to update uboot (flash already soldered on the ch341a) and install buildroot with mdadm and a lightweight sambaStill hasn't found a solution btw, the clanker is telling me to build the toolchain from buildroot and use that, but I have troubles with ncurses now. Buildroot use the wide char version and nixpkgs gives you the skinny char one
>>107809435Still haven't, it's like 2am in my country sorry
>>107808578dunno about cross compilation, but there exist gcc and glibc for aarch64$ nix-build --no-out-link -E 'with import <nixpkgs> { system = "aarch64-linux"; }; [ gcc glibc ]'

In 8 years, OpenAI will use 50% of the US's total electricity generate.This isn't factoring the amount of GPUs they'd be purchasing, nor the fresh clean water they'd need to cool the GPUs powering their data centers.USA's electricity generation has stagnated for the past 30 years despite a rise in population.How much do you imagine your electricity bill to be by 2033?
>>107810116>immediate termhow is 10 years building a coal plant immediate term? the people who built them were the greatest/silent generation + older generation. boomers have experts but they did everything in their power to never train anybody and sabotage everybody afterwards. >they will just refit the old coal plantswith what expertise? boomers are dementia and nobody from gen-x knows shit about this either. it doesn't matter if they want to cut "regulation" or whatever cope retards have to pretend that's why it's delayed/slow/not working. there's nobody with the expertise on earth outside of china who could do it in the "immediate term".
>>107808913No projection of OpenAI makes sense, the compute they consume has a growth factor 50% higher than their revenue. They probably won't exist (and certainly won't exist in their current form) a year from now.

>>107809800> AGI is not worth thisActual AGI would world changing. Of course the current AI offerings are not AGI, and won't ever be.
>>107810453>not AGI, and won't ever beWhy, because you believe that development will magically stop tomorrow, or because the term "AGI" is so vague you'll just always use some arbitrary criteria to deny it no matter how capable these systems might become?
For the first time in a long time, learning/working is fun again.
>>107801840I take hand written notes, but on a tablet (remarkable 2 because I like that my tablet doesn't have distractions like a web browser or anything). I haven't noticed any real difference from having 100 billion notebooks vs taking my handwritten notes on a tablet.
>>107807819Do you think your LLM won't have that problem? The LLM is "learning" to mimick the books. If the book sources are wrong, the LLM will also be wrong if it was trained on that incorrect book.
>>107801565My interest is on history and ancient knowledges, and obviously AI is SHIT for it.
>>107801565AI has done more teach me C++ than human could ever have. Not even kidding.
>>107801565I ask brave search AI questions. Sometimes it's helpful, but it's 50/50. I fucked my system up by listening to it when I was trying to get hardware acceleration working and had to restore. Don't listen to AI when it starts referring to the kernelI treat it like an enhanced search engine. It's good for retrieving info and saves time. But do not take advice from it. You still have to do the work, you can't just let it hand hold you to solve something

is there any support in vim to save multiple tabs into a single formatted file, or is that asking too much of my beloved text editor.i might write a plugin if not.
>>107808707Try :h Session for the built-in functionality. There are third-party plugins, too, if you don't like how it works.
>>107808707:read! cat %a #h <next buffer> > file.txtuse :buffers to get shorthand buffer names, or just use the filenames.

Use NixOSUse FlakesIt's Linux, but perfected.
>>107810242>Flatpaks are really only useful if it is an application that never needs to interact with anything else.ie: most applications
>>107800119Guix, close enough>>107801668Weirdly true, I know Gentoo users who are scared of slackware and consider it to be harder
>>107810259>I know Gentoo users who are scared of slackware and consider it to be hardernta but I used slackware for years. it is NOT harder than Gentoo, not even close. Slack's installation is harder than something like Fedora's automated install, but no where near as hard as something like Arch's manual install. Using slack is just "run of the mill." What makes it "hard" - and I put that word in quotes for a reason - is its out of date / out of touch dependency management. there is no package manager to tell you what dependencies are missing, so you have to painstakingly track them down.which is really moronic in 2026. the slacker community acts like this some badge of honor or something when you waste 4 hours of day trying to get steam working. also, it's poorly managed now. I mean really poorly managed.it was one of the very first distros to hit the "mainstream" and back then it was pretty amazing (for its time). Now? it's a mess, it's a dead distro that hasn't realized it's dead yet.Gentoo is a 100x harder than Slackware.
>>107810404In my case, its not that Ive used Slackware extensively, but Ive come to the very same conclusion based on the little Ive experienced and reading the complaints of the same people who claim its complicated to useI imagine most people use "hard" as a synonym for "insufferable, annoying to use"
>>107810490>I imagine most people use "hard" as a synonym for "insufferable, annoying to use"I think that hits the nail on the head. It is unnecessarily insufferable. They... well HE.... primarily Patrick Volkerding, could easily just include flatpak in the distro and set up, or even let the user direct it to flathub, but he/they won't even do that. And, try installing flatpak, it's a disaster. The white beard fucks who swear by it, just don't understand that people don't have time for that shit these days. They'll tell you it's "learning Linux." No, no it's not. Installing Arch, installing LFS, installing Gentoo is how you LEARN Linux. Wasting time googling for what libraries this or that program needs is not learning Linux - it's merely wasting your time.Slackware COULD be somewhat magical if the maintainer would pull his head out of his ass.

If xfce still feels too slow, might take a look at trixiepup64. Puppy linux based on debian trixie.. so relatively modern OS, supports installing a shitload of apps, but still lean running JWM
>>107807468For this distro, it quite literally is just plug and play. Buy an SSD and install MX Linux. I don’t know why, but Linux Mint Xfce felt slow compared to MX Linux, and I have a Celeron processor for that computer. Maybe a systemd thing
