Also a good thing because I know nobody who can leave a "Christkindlmarkt" sober. Those things are basically a huge mulled wine festival and it's great, but don't want anyone driving home from these.

Also I find their Zorin OS Pro offer a bit scummy. Now the themes do look nice, but few would spend 50$ for a few themes. So they advertise having 5000$ worth of professional creative alternatives bundled. In screenshots you'll then see Kdenlive, Blender and Inkscape. I don't know what to think about the fact they want 50$ for bundling a few themes and free software. If they had just kept the stupid 5000$ part out I would have been fine with it, professional support can be great for people switching over from windows, but this seems a bit scummy to me.
I bought myself a quartz64 model a from pine64 (my instance is hosted on there) when it came out. It has a sata port but no sata power.
Turns out SATA SSDs only use the 5v part of the sata power connector so i took a sata power cable from an old PSU and an old usb cable and soldered the 5v line of the sata connector to the usb power. Look like crap and I fully expected shit to blow up but it somehow works really well.
(No I did't have electrical tape)
If I develop anything with a GUI I use GTK4. It has a bit of a learning curve to it but honestly I've come to like it.
I am currently creating a program for simulating networks and the drawing area is great for drawing the actual simulation because it basically allows you to have a cairo area as a widget so your possibilities there are basically unlimited and cairo is just a great drawing API.
Also gtk is basically the only modern GUI toolkit that can be used with C, which is great because it is pretty much the only language I know well enough to program a big application with. (But GObject still feels like black magic to me)
I run my lemmy instance on a pine64 quartz64 which uses an rk3566. It runs really well and power consumption is totally negligible. Didn’t notice any increase in my power bill since it’s been running.
Your eye does rotate!
Look at your eyes in the mirror and rotate your head, look on the veins in your eye and you will see that your eye tries to stay parallel to the ground.
In humans it is just much less obvious due to our round pupils.
I use gentoo everywhere, from my nas to my webserver and my pc and laptop.
With binhost and distcc it’s really not bad and the customizability is just unmatched.
The comapny is called gehirn, which in the series in NERVs predecessor. They are full on aware of this.
I run my instance on a Quartz 64 with 8GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD. Works just fine.
On my instance there are two users, one being myself and the other one beein a seeder bot. It automatically pulls top communities and posts from other instances to keep the feed fresh. For this I wrote my own script, if you’d like to have it I can post it here or you can just use an already available project like this: LCS
Like that my post is always full with enough posts to keep me reading.
Well it is pretty much impossible to delete any thing on any federated service. It is technically just not possible without opening a whole other world of problems.
I always like to think of the fediverse in some way like emails. If you send an E-Mail, the moment it leaves your mail providers server it is pretty much impossible to stop.
Basically think before you post. The internet never forgets, the fediverse especially so.
