Feeling like buying more N100 MiniPCs to get rid of the stench of ARM SBCs. Eww.

Also ported FFmpeg to the ESP32/FreeRTOS, so I can run NymphCast Audio directly on those MCUs. No RPi Zero and Linux required.

I got a few RPis kicking around and they're mostly okay, but things like hardware acceleration for video en/decode will just never work (reliably). I have them in use as headless servers now. For real work I got N100-based PCs. They're just too rad :)

That's the Armbian image for the Banana Pi M2 Zero, to clarify. HDMI output is also very unstable, which is not reassuring.

Seems that Linux support for the Allwinner H2+/H3 SoC is already basically RIP. Recent Armbian image has broken WiFi and USB Ethernet worked until a spontaneous shutdown. Not a crash, just randomly the thing deciding that it wanted to halt the system. ARM SoCs are such complete trash.

Oh, this is one of those weird fake Amazon listings, isn't it? Seen them on occasion, they're freakin' weird.

When you have to apply convoluted heuristics to apply a somewhat educated guess whether a datestamp is in a sane format or the bonkers US format, it's a hazard to life and general sanity.

Urge to commit violence against US date format supporters rising. It's just a broken format that corrupts the idea of a date format. YYYY/MM/DD is fine, DD/MM/YYYY is fine, shortening the year is problematic, flipping DD & MM should be punishable by death.

Well, it's technically correct, just like how scamming people out of their money with NFTs and crypto is technically 'commercial potential'. AKA they found some suckers for their scheme.

A spicy attack of intense flavour that leaves you craving for more, as every trace of weakness leaves your body. Now I want to whip up some more Thai food...

Speaking from a Thai food perspective, a hair's width removed from death is about how much spicy stuff is 'enough' :)

Finally watched the 2023 Super Mario Movie thingy. Switched from the English dub to the Spanish one after like a third of the movie, which was an improvement. Nihilistic Luma is my favourite character~

Seeing NVidia's market share and stock value get reduced by like 90% would definitely be something. Also OpenAI get wiped out completely and MSFT, Adobe, etc. follow NVidia's bursting bubble for maximum Schadenfreude :)

For some reason Wikipedia has a 'Simple English' version too, but no other language seems to need a 'simplified' version. Maybe the problem was the US education system all along?

WOLED gets bright, but has a green tinge. QD-OLED is definitely the better option there, but all have to deal with pixels wearing out fairly quickly.

I'll see your CRT rage and raise you dim OLEDs & burn-in plus sucky LCD viewing angles, patchy backlighting and blooming issues.

Even within something like Qt that smooths over so many rough WinAPI edges it's a severe pain sometimes, but at least it provides some comfort... And then I run the app with the same Win32 UI under Android and it doesn't have those issues :D (just different ones, of course...)

I guess I'm grateful that none of my work involves making GUIs in Windows. There's just the NymphCast Player thing that I did in Qt5. I'm not really a GUI designer, more of a CLI monkey :)

I'm still bemused that Win10 finally fixed the completely idiotic system variables dialogue that had been causing grief since at least WinNT. The shift to the XP-style UI & then the Vista composing engine probably fixed more issues than anything else done on purpose. Then Win8+ broke it again...

I now want to check whether ReactOS is doing a better job. They probably do, as they're fixing smaller and larger UI issues all the time. Clearly MSFT is too busy screwing its users over to care any more.

Can confirm in Win10. What a trash heap of an OS. And it's not even Win11 yet...

Some people may still be on the fence whether they want to go all-in on NK-style fascism or maybe try to sample a bit more of this 'democracy' thing which the USians keep getting teased about amidst their oligarchic hellscape.

Yeah, I have embedded the LiteHTML library in some code before, which just does HTML & basic CSS, and it barely touches the RAM. If I were to add even a simple JS lib like Ducktape to it, it'd blow out resource use, even without the fancy JIT, super-charged JS runtimes Chrome etc. use.

It seems to be due to how file permissions in Linux are limited to just RWX per group, without other folder properties as seen with more civilised OSes. NT > Linux, IMO.

Lazy L00nix-isms. Only time when a dot-folder is okay in my book is when it's used with e.g. MSYS2's shell and the tools used in Bash expect those conventions.

Oh~ turning off unread message notifications still preserves direct message notifications. Very unclearly marked in Discord settings, but totally works for me.

Discord is such a festering pile of horse droppings. Can block people all you want, but you are still going to be notified every time they post something and get the timeline polluted with 'see blocked message(s)' spam. Six year old forum topic on it and Discord 'devs' are like 'nope, can't do'.

The problem with solutions like IRC is that you cannot turn them into proprietary sh*tholes which you can charge sucke^Wcustomers way too much money for.

Clearly the reason why 'begging the question' is used instead of 'raising the question' is because humans are terrible at avoiding logical fallacies.

'Begging the question' == assuming the conclusion.

You're welcome :)
