Don't think I will, #YOLO

Gravy? If you're referring to the "brunsรฅs" it's "brown sauce".

Although I gotta be honest, I'm not sure what the differences are between a sauce and gravy...

Yeah, when inspiration hits, better take advantage of it, basically. Sometimes if I don't finish the thing, it won't get done until inspiration hits again, which could be weeks/months, so better get it all done when you can :)

I remember talking with a bunch of people about this around 2016-2017 sometime, I think the advice at the time was to use "npmi" package for that. Seems that's exactly what I ended up doing: github.com/victorb/trym...

I'm sure you can find decade old issues in the issue tracker discussing this :)

If it's just me, working for myself, with my own passion, can I crunch, even just for a little bit?

Wait, why are TUIs terrible for humans? And how are they good for bots, it's really hard to programmatically control them from the outside, at least compared to CLIs and even "web".

Today I learned `ncdu` has a `-t` parameter for setting the amount of threads to us, and boy is it fast.

Scanned 8TB of content in like ten seconds...

Has it turned around/looped around yet and became trendy/hipster to care about NFTs now? Or are we still some years away from that?

Oh yeah, love the Volca Bass, always a beast :D And so fun that such a big sound comes from such a tiny machine heheh

You just need two plastic cups and a veeeeryyyyy long wire ;)

Yeah, quality semi-automatic machines from Switzerland :) Even visited their little museum last time we were there. Cozy company, probably some of the best 1000 EUR I ever spent.

Calculated across the years I've had it, it cost around 0.1 EUR per cup of coffee :)

You could take a look at Iridium and Globalstar, basically what boating people use (used to?) for their phones/laptops, but unless they've changed their pricing these last few years, I don't think they count as "affordable" unfortunately :/

Such fun and immediate machines too! Tried to sell mine a couple of times, but always get stuck when I make sure they're working before selling them, then decide not to sell them :P

Affordable, or anything? Satellite internet been around for a long time, but the established companies tend to be expensive. Eutelsat OneWeb is another example.

I think some countries also have their own national internet satellite service, can't remember if that was in Argentina or something?

Anyone else receiving emails like these from @mozilla.org? Been happening for some days, I have not sent them anything, headers and from address is real and proper.

Vasaloppet - Wikipedia

In Sweden they take it a step further, and have a annual long distance cross-country ski race based on one famous person's journey :)

Idea I thought less than 30 seconds about: Measure the rate of "first time new record type was encountered". The more unknown record types being discovered === more developers developing protocols and testing the deployment of those.

Can't believe Google haven't figured out basic payments yet.

Clicked on "Enhanced Bitrate", asks me to upgrade, I do the upgrade, they send me back to youtube.com?

Go back to same video... Click same format, and it still asks me to upgrade?

Not even one person testing this stuff or what?

Just because it fits, does NOT mean it'll work :/

Guess I'm gonna have to pull out the multimeter but oh... my... god... Label your PSU cables, people and pets!

People, when you get a new PSU, label all the cables for the old PSU.

Here I sit with a bunch of PSU cables from three generations of PSUs yet from the same brand, and they all seemingly use different pinouts and I don't know what cable belongs to what PSU.

Sounds is too well synced with the subtitles too, and doesn't repeat enough when it gets cut short, because you did some other action that triggered some other voice line.

This is how Linux looks like. It has no UI, it's just code, that runs deep inside your computer, and it has no visual design at all :)

Sometimes autocorrect is like "I'm gonna see if this guy is really paying attention to what he is doing right now"
