I've been really happy with it; I've been using it for templating reports at work for months now. I've just started experimenting with using jinja to pretemplate my template lol.

I'll probably continue down that track to try and automate my workflow away so I can focus on less tedious things, but after you get used to the box encapsulation it becomes fairly easy to work with!

Maybe we could all raid niconico?

If you like power metal try visigoth (I think their drummer does an amazing job at controlling the dynamics and pace of their songs) and Fellowship (I've never heard any other band come nearly as close at something uplifting and motivating); I really like Glint from fellowship as an example of that! It's the "response" to the "call" from Oak and Ash earlier in the album

Level 5, I still go back to play dark cloud 1 and 2 every couple years. Now if they'd just make the third one I stead of another professor Layton or yokai watch that'd be great!

Steam Deck Owners: What’s been your favorite game that you first discovered on Steam Deck and now you can’t seem to put down?

Looking for those games that you may have heard about but never tried until you got a Deck. Or old games on systems you never had that you’re trying for the first time. Or new AAA games that just released in the last year or two that you picked up for the first time specifically to play on Steam Deck and have kept you glued to...

Wait, I can play pso2 on the deck?! I might have to download it!

The epic of Gilgamesh was written in Akkadian like 2000bc. Old English would be more like Beowulf.

You could try installing gamesnacks.com as a pwa on their phone. They have a bunch of little games that I assume children would like.

Been working on making the helmet wearable for an age! Finally sewing in the liner. Huge progress! (lemmy.world)

So I did not make this helmet, but what I bought was an unwearable, unhistoric shell of metal. Had to remove the strap that was riveted inside the helmet because it was mounted so fat back that it would strangle you if you were to try to wear it. Had to drill out holes and install with the help of a friend, vervelles (the brass...

This is looking great, I'm excited to see how you finish it up!

I just got off work and you're here bringing me back writing ptsd for that party of programmers

Tangentially related, but I've been feeling like perhaps we've been jumping the gun with Lemmy and Kbin...

Maybe it would have made more sense, at least from an interoperability statepoint, to make an activitypub User protocol that can be selfhosted easily. So instead of making a new account for each Lemmy or Kbin instance someone has, you can instead connect your activitypub account to it.

Additionally as I know hosting has been an increasing problem around here, perhaps it would have been better to make instances single focused message boards ( i.e. just political humor, just animemes, just 196 etc.) So that the instance host can more easily manage moderation and hosting costs without ballooning things they might not necessarily care about to also be hosted by them.

This is just idle musings though, I'm not sure of how the community would be receptive to such thoughts.

I'm currently in dependency hell trying to compile a zip formatted react native program I've been given

If you want to use python, you could try Flet. I've been using it for some projects at work and it's dead simple to create an acceptable UI and the docs are very easy to read through with frequent examples. In July they added support for Android and iOS via progressive web apps, I haven't tried it out yet, but it seems interesting so I might start a project in it soon...

I've been having fun with it, if that's worth anything!

Otherwise, depending on your phone I'd just do native code with Kotlin + jetpack compose for Android or Swift + swiftUI for Apple. I always greatly preferred android development in school but once jetpack compose and swiftUI came out I find them both to be about the same level of enjoyment.

All three of those options are all declarative (describe how you want it to look in code) and I find it much easier to deal with than iOS storyboards or Android xmls.

Ahh I see, now I get it. I never quite understood the need for the (he/she/them) when meeting new groups because I always felt aggressively apathetic to my own pronouns; sort of a "I don't care what you call me it doesn't change my feeling of me". But your comment and this chain helped that click for me!

This has always been the hardest part for me; the amount of technical information on Reddit is so valuable and trumps the rest of the Internet in it's esoteric specifics. It makes not looking through it's threads when I'm looking for specific information feel nigh impossible...

Bit flips occur when a posse of electrons loses an intimidation check to the sun.

I find this hilarious.

Skin cancer is when the sun convinces a cell to go with their totallynotapyramidscheme MLM; the cell, in turn, convinces other cells to join their pyram- I mean MLM.

Regression is when the MLM slips up and the cell police finally have enough evidence to take it down for the pyramid scheme that it is.

Mine are all named after mythological creatures. It started with my tower being named Cerberus because it had 3 red LED fans and then just kept up from there. Hydra, Thoth, manticore, chimera. I'm deploying Baba Yaga this week, and Ratatoskr will be up eventually

Do you think nixos will be a good alternative to rocky/alma for servers?

saplyng,
@saplyng@kbin.social avatar

In what way, if I may ask?

saplyng,
@saplyng@kbin.social avatar

I've been using Garuda (arch derivative) for my home and work PC. It works how I want it to, I like that it has BTRFS as default for the file system, and the AUR is such an amazing resource I miss it whenever I use a different distro.

I have a production server that's using Alma at the moment, but with the RHEL news I'm thinking of switching it over to something else, but I'm not sure what yet. I've been using Ubuntu server for some test servers/projects and I like it better than Alma but it still hasn't given me that "wow" factor I feel with Arch so I'm not sure what I'm going to do there...

Revanced Manager has a patch option to hide shorts from the feed, it's not much but it is something!

I was thinking about it more as the "sword of dieting" because it should tell you when you're actually hungry, not just bored or whatever, and will stop glowing when your hunger has been properly satiated so you know when to stop eating!

I couldn't view your last post (apparently there's an issue with having with having thumbnails set to off making you not view the image even when the post is pulled up) so I have a few things I want to say:

  1. Changing the outline to match the background instead of just black was brilliant and really livens up the icon
  2. That subtle change from the original to #1 in this post with the perspective/curved bottom line added a lot of character to the bird
  3. You have a spoopy profile pic but golly can you make a cute design!

That's why I always liked the captcha that Genshin had on login, just sliding the puzzle piece onto the correct part of the picture. Very easy for a human, has the basest of security against lazy bots.

Artemis private beta rollouts have begun! (kbin.social)

Hi there, the Artemis private beta rollout has just started! @hariette will be emailing 50 signup sheet users, while @lilkev will be adding 50 users from Artemis Discord. The order will be based on the submissions to the private beta signup form, as well as general activity within the Artemis community....

Is "delightful" the codeburg version of "awesome"?

saplyng,
@saplyng@kbin.social avatar

Though I'm religious, I'm very against the church as an anarchist (but I digress); though the idea that science and medicine can push forward much quicker with immortality I know it will just further divide the social classes and make the demagogues into demigods.

There's no chance that immortality would be distributed fairly amongst everyone, those that can pay its price will take it and the rest will be left to rot. Old money will become immortal money and further consecrate it's power while using the rest as fodder.

I know it will do good, but I can't imagine that good outweighing the bad.

If beehaw's post on their user demographics from earlier today is a valid representation of the fediverse as a whole, then 50% sounds about right!

It's easily anticheat for me; I'd still like to play genshin or paladins but their anticheat either makes it very difficult/risky (bans) or just impossible
