Recommend me a scripting language
  • luajit is small, fast(well, it can jit), and has a small but complete standard library and can do FFI pretty easily, should be ideal for most homelab usecase

    ldd $(which luajit)                                                                                
            linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffee9dc7000)
            libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007fb4db618000)
            libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fb4db613000)
            libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fb4db5f3000)
            libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fb4db3ca000)
            /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fb4db799000)
    
  • My college sent warning email regarding pirated software use by students.
  • When they can’t use your internet connection, they also add personal information to any file you generate with the softwares such that if you send the file to someone else who has a license they will unknowingly rat on you through their connection.

    This sounds evil, possibly violating some EU laws too.

  • NixOS for gamedev
  • Slightly off-topic here, but have you considered Fedora? For me it just gets the job done and stays out of my way. I don't want to configure a whole bunch of things before I can get to work so I find fedora simple to use and well-integrated. Docs and forums are quite helpful too.

  • Can I build a NAS out of a desktop? [Request]
  • Maybe I'm dumb but looking at wikipedia I'm a bit confused. Seems like you can do this on almost any linux distro. What is the reason behind setting up a dedicated OS, cost of operation, stability, performance?

  • Just a quick note, set USB dual role device to XHCI if you're running an OS from external usb device

    I installed Fedora on a external ssd connected to steam deck through a usb hub. Somehow it won't boot up after an automatic update and reboot. Error says something like "/dev/disk/by-uuid/****" does not exist, and my usb keyboard does not work at all. Turns out I've set USB dual role device to DRD and that confuses the kernel or the usb hub or the motherboard, or maybe all of them. Anyway, set it to XHCI and everything is fine again.

    [News] Steam Deck OLED review: Includes specs on new screen and other improvements
  • Original switch screen was rubbish, to put it mildly. While original Steam deck screen is in fact quite decent. It gets bright enough for indoor usage, has large viewing angle, color is ok. I can happily play my original steam deck for another one or two years. I only play on my original switch with it plugged in to a TV.

  • Which book is your personal bible?
  • The Art of UNIX Programming by ESR

    Not saying this book is 100% correct and perfect, but most parts of it is still relevant and refreshingly insightful even after 20 years. I sure learned a lot about great engineering and generally how to approch and tackle difficult problems from it.

  • Do you donate to Wikipedia? Why or why not?
  • Wow I didn't know about this, thanks for the reading! I always feel morally in debt for using Wikipedia without giving back much and assume they were struggling a bit to operate, but wow they have received millions of dollars already!

    edit: I'm still willing to donate though, and I just did, like I'm happy to pay for what I've learned from it, even if it doesn't mean much to them.

  • Do you donate to Wikipedia? Why or why not?

    Every so often I give a few bucks(far less than the worth of knowledge I got from it)
