Carrying on an old tradition. What features / issues should I work on next?
  • Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, have an incorrect setting, or if this is expected behavior, but the thing that's been driving me nuts is when I go to share a link it always copies the source of the post for the lemmy link.

    If, for example, I'm browsing on lemmy.ml and I want to share a post from lemmy.world, I'd like to be able to copy the lemmy.ml version of the lemmy.world post.

    It doesn't make as much sense with public instances, but when you're using a private instance and you want to share with friends and family it can be kind of a hassle to retrieve the URL for said private instance.

  • Windows 12 May Require a Subscription
  • The move to a subscription model is the disservice and requires no particular savvy to differentiate from free.

    Macs and Chromebooks are fine for some people and won't require as much hand holding as a direct Linux install regardless of the distro.

    People are going to rely on what others recommend when they don't know themselves. It's up to those people to cull the list from ten to two.

    Is the person a budding tech that wants to hack on their system? Send them to Arch.

    Are they a creative looking to craft? Throw them into Ubuntu Studios.

    Maybe they're grandparents who barely understand tech. Ok, Mint or Elementary are good options... Just maintain SSH access with keys.

    The options are a strength.

  • Ludum Dare 54 Compo entry

    First time completing a compo, didn't get nearly as much of the game done as I wanted, but I'm quite happy with my year's progress.

    Still no option to rate a game. Found a reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/ludumdare/comments/16xgv1k/i_dont_understand_how_to_rate_other_games/) that described the same, so I don't think it's just me.

    [Spoilers] WoB from Dragonsteel 2022 Spoilers Q&A: Did Hoid join the Worldsinger's just to learn Roshar's stories or ... ?

    Dragonsteel 2022's Spoilers Q&A was uploaded to youtube yesterday. Sharing because the Hoid answer, but there's loads of good stuff in there.

    Piped Alternative, though I can't seem to find a way to jump to the 14:50 mark: https://piped.video/watch?v=NrpCDV6_sTc

    Godot 4 Help Understanding Signals
  • It's a good rule of thumb, but Godot gives you enough rope to hang yourself with ... at least until the next update 😀

    If you need to pass information around to different scripts and/or scenes then you may wish to employ Singletons.

  • Overview of the difference between tftp, ftp, sftp, and scp.

    Image shows a grid of four columns and eight rows detailing the difference between four common types of file transfer: tftp, ftp, sftp, and scp; across eight data points: transfer protocol, standard port, speed overview, security overview, authentication support, encryption support, and connection orientation.

    • TFTP : UDP, port 69, Fast, Less Secure, No Authentication, No Encryption, and Connection-less
    • FTP: TCP, port 20, 21, Slow, Less Secure, Authentication, No Encryption, and Connection-oriented
    • SFTP: TCP, Port 22, Slow, Secure, Authentication, Encryption, and Connection-oriented
    • SCP: TCP, Port 22, Fast, Secure, Authentication, Encryption, and Connection-oriented

    why isn't the use of the bidet more widespread?
  • I bought a Toto HW300-W "Portable Travel Washlet" off Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008O1G4LQ) back in 2018 and it still runs like a champ. The text is all in Japanese, but easy enough to figure out (or Google Lens it if you really want to know). * Edit: I should note that I paid about half of the current list price :-O

  • why isn't the use of the bidet more widespread?
  • American here. Thanks to woot regularly selling them, I have a bidet on each toilet in the house. I have a battery operated travel bidet, because now I'm hooked.

    It has certainly led to.... "Interesting" responses from house guests. There's always TP in stock, so it's not required. Butt I'm never going back if I can help it.

  • [Secret Project #3]: Whining about the audiobook (no spoilers)

    Ok, I'm going to get this out of the way first: I love Brandon Sanderson's work and the Cosmere is epic and awesome.

    It took me some time to warm up to Secret Project #3. My biggest gripe is once again Kate Reading. This time it wasn't pronunciation or tempo, it was her reading in Hoid's voice. Nails on a freaking chalkboard.

    The "Hoid-isms" are reduced as the book goes, so there are fewer occurrences of her mangling the Hoid I've grown to love (Michael Kramer) as the book goes. But holy crap that was jarring.

    My unsolicited and unprofessional advice to Brandon for the next book that switches gendered perspectives is to have a different voice handling the narration during the female perspective.

    I feel it would have been far improved to have the female perspective covered by Pattern Design / Kate with the male perspective being handled by Hoid / Michael.

    • Edit: I keep mixing up Pattern and Design. I swear I'm not racist, some of my best friends are cryptics.
