Can you share more details please?

Also this short comic: Bad Space: Cataract.

I recently needed to build newer versions of some packages for Debian. Now, they’re go based so the official packaging is super complicated and eventually I decided to try and make my own from scratch. After a few more hours of messing with the official tooling I start thinking “there must be a better way.”

And sure enough, after a bit of searching I found makedeb which allows you to make debs from (almost) regular PKGFILEs. Made the task a million times simpler.

What sticks are you using?

“We’re civilised people, we can excuse genocide, but throwing paint and saying mean words is a step too far.”

Don’t forget GenX, they cut their teeth on DOS and other such horrors.

Yarr! Content!

I’ve been car A and still had car D behind me beep at me. We hate car D.

Oh, that’s nice, TIL. But still, there are other projects that do just directly download from GitHub when building, buildroot for example.

Compiling any larger go application would hit this limit almost immediately. For example, podman is written in go and has around 70 dependencies, or about 200 when including transitive dependencies. Not all the depends are hosted on GitHub, but the vast majority are. That means that with a limit of 60 request per hour it would take you 3 hours to build podman on a new machine.

The brown is bad, but to be fair to the right side, it’s the left one that has bad reflections and is blurry - it was released when bloom effects were new and it used them way too much.

But they weren’t just “typing it on a computer”, they were typesetting it in latex, and trying to make it look grandiose. But they just showed to everyone in the know that they don’t know what they’re doing.

He left them a coke can? That feels like peak 1980s jingoism.

Oh wow, I loved that. Thank you for sharing.

Looks amazing. What lens is that? Looks like you made your own helicoid focus too, how smooth is it?

I was thinking of making myself a 35mm panoramic view camera using a Mamiya press lens, but I’ve never used a large format camera so many details about the lens are still a bit unclear to me.

Edit: oh, I see your other post has more technical details.

I think the meme is backwards. It should be one serious person in a meeting of clowns and puppets.

Hitler, in a speech at the Sportpalast in Berlin, claimed that the Sudetenland was “the last territorial demand I have to make in Europe” and gave Czechoslovakia a deadline of 28 September 1938 at 2:00 p.m. to cede the Sudetenland to Germany or face war.

Sounds familiar somehow.

Here’s a better example: the use of GPL software (primarily Linux and busybox) by Linksys when they made their wrt54g router was used to compel them into releasing the source code of the firmware for that router. Subsequent GPL enforcement by the SFC made Cisco release full firmware sources for a whole series of Linksys routers. Thanks to those sources openwrt, ddwrt and several other open source router firmwares developed.

I can now run three openwrt routers in my home purely thanks to the GPL. If those projects had been MIT licensed, Linksys and Cisco could have just politely told everyone to go suck a lemon because they would have had no obligation to release anything.

Unreliable? I have two Staedtler Mars Micro pens I bought a good 20 years ago and they both work perfectly.

You’ll have to answer to the Tesla corporation.
