some kind of horrible math magic is going on here, and I don't like it

Likewise computers and devices with happy faces make me happy.

"this verison of Python has one known bug. For some reason which I
haven't been able to find long division with negative numbers returns
incorrect results in some cases. I'm aware of the problem and am
continuing to look into it."

well that's comforting

Is there a Japanese equivalent to GameFAQs or is it all just random personal webpages strewn to the winds?

is it possible to set up an NAS to share files with NFS (to linuxen like a steam deck) and SMB (to windowses) at the same time

just ordered a bunch of stuff for setting up my NAS and wider file sharing network. should all arrive by next weekend. thanks all for your help

im probably gonna save my next project after this for another paycheck, but while i'm thinking about it: i want to get some basic soldering equipment and learn to solder (for tinkering with little arduino type gizmos and the like). does anyone have recommendations for what i could get that's cheap and ideally doesn't take up a lot of space

let's see if i can explain this in a way that makes sense and doesn't make me sound silly

i want to set up network file access for my home's local network, so i can access files from various devices without having to manually copy them over. every potential client i have is perfectly fine with SMB 3.0... except for one (a playstation 2 with some homebrew software), which only accepts SMB 1.0 for whatever reason. i don't want to enable a deprecated file sharing protocol for the entire network, so i'd like to limit it to as close to the troublesome client as i can.

is it possible to set up some kind of "relay," like in the diagram, that presents a network share or a subset of it to the ps2 via SMB 1.0 while the rest of the network can use newer protocols?

Working on an image processing library for a retrocomputer/console-targetting toolchain. Is there a reason to have more precision than 8-bit-per-channel RGBA (like, say, 16-bit-per-channel RGBA)? Most seem to stick to 8bpc, but intuition tells me it'd allow for more precision in gamma/color curve operations and easier handling of error dithering...

Hey uh, just checking. It is the year 2023. Can Linux reliably mount an NTFS drive read/write yet?

Here's an integer sequence I came up with last night that doesn't seem to be in the #oeis:

1,2,4,6,3,9,12,8,10,5,15,20,16,24,18,21,14,7,28,35

I did some code on my phone in JupyterLite (https://jupyter.org/try-jupyter/lab/) to produce it, and these two images. Will wonders never cease!

If you can work out the rule, I'll be v impressed
