yearning that i hope doesn't upset my girlfriends 

i miss dating someone who knew programming and linux maintenance

do-release-upgrade fails because it wants to nuke every single package on the system because they require libc6 >= 2.29 whereas latest libc6 for 18.04 is 2.27 which sounds exactly like canonical

tried manually installing libc6 2.31 and now the cunt's fucked, thank fuck for the oversight to make a full disk backup

Mastodon should ask you to pick a "moderator" not an "instance".

The latter is obscure technical detail. The former is about people, and power, and explainable to anyone.

"You pick which person or organisation you want to decide who and what is banned. You can change it later."

using this clever 2D parity-checked pattern printed onto a sticker, you can direct any passersby with a smartphone straight to your company’s 404 page

15 years ago, I worked on a game that ran at 60Hz on a 333Mhz cpu on the PSP. It animated skinned transforms for a dozen rigs, transformed maybe 20k triangles and rasterized them, decoded and mixed music, and a dozen other things, all in 16ms. I think about that a lot when things are slow on my 100x faster computer.
