Thanks! I seem to miss it every year, but not this time!

I’m buying one next paycheck. Looking forward to doing this myself.

… That sounds interesting. Especially if it can go and fetch all of the installers for me to have a local repo of my own.

The deduping is a little difficult. Obv matching files are caught with regular dedupe tools, but I’ve been meaning to make a script to use fingerprinting (dejavu is the library I think?) to find matches. Problem is the fingerprints are about as big as the music files themselves.

“unsorted” folder contains input. “Music” folder has full library; any imports must go through beets. rsync to remote backups; one scripted/automatic, one manual & password-protected. Restores (needed once or twice) are done with beets import, but whatever flag that does “just import, don’t tag”

I started off with programming languages that compiled into binaries. I knew dos and bash well enough but wanted the convenience of scripting, just type in run, no compiling needed. I also wanted it to be cross-platform.

I chose Perl. TBH I loved it, but I kept hearing about all the cool things that would come as soon as Perl 6 was released, so I started waiting, and waiting, and waiting…

The XKCD comic, import antigravity, is literally what convinced me to try python finally. Haven’t really looked back, even 13 years later when Perl 6 was finally released

… I have no idea but I would imagine there’s a large overlap with the vacuums

I’ve seen some with 24, more commonly 12 or 16 though. Plus I’ve been several versions of Android running on PC

Bootstrapping.

Similarly, you should be able to build the OS on the OS, which is why Android is still not a viable operating system compute-wise.

They made a very naive comment suggesting a authoritarian regime supports privacy

I deserve the downvotes, not even mad.

Absolutely NOTHING! Good God, y’all.

Some Canadian politicians made a fuss about it but walked that back. I don’t know of any actual national bans, and most people aren’t going to know what it is at a glance anyway. Worst I can think of is the trend of some politician events banning “flipper zeroes and raspberry pis” (which is also controversial/stupid) so maybe don’t take it with you if you’re business travel involves political rallies.

Yeah it started at $169

It has gone up $30, which isn’t so bad relatively.

Flipper zero.

At the very least it has built-in universal power, volume, channel, and maybe some other buttons. Now that I think about it though, I bet I could make a companion app so your phone acts like the TV remote and sends the signal over the flipper via Bluetooth.

Plus you can store your hotel key, garage remote, and who knows what else in it. It’s a really cool little tool to have.

Yeah (fully agree) but it would point out each of the hops the user goes through before reaching home, yes? I’m just trying to help visualize where all the bottlenecks could be

Apologies for the lack of detail but I want to make sure you know about the tool traceroute. The speed at which you connect depends on every node between your remote location and home, plus there will be some overhead with whatever vpn is involved.

Probably got the name long before we were cross-continental. (I’m in Memphis fwiw)
