Well, for starters, if you build it you can have whatever aesthetic you want.
That's kinda the point, I can't really have any aesthetic I want. Unless I CNC my own case, I'm limited to what case manufacturers sell, which, in my opinion, is mostly bland boxes. or even worse, some sort of an LED aquarium that the components have to live in.
Depending on your performance target, some RTX3050 cards will run entirely off of the 75W provided through the PCI slot. They’ll also have “office PCs” with graphics cards in them, meaning they’re technically fit for playing games even though they’re bot marketed as such.
The thing is I'm not really set on any performance target yet. It might seem like I want to have my cake and eat it too, and I probably do, but I just want to know that I could put whatever I want into the case and not be limited by some proprietary standard.
Hey, thanks for the suggestion! I've never looked at Silverstone, but most of their designs are not half bad.
Also, having the side panel off is the coolest thing you could have in a case. Reminds me of my childhood when my much older brother and my much much older father, both of whom were computer engineers at the time, were constantly tinkering with the home computer so the side panel was always off :D
I hope I'm not in the wrong community but I really wanted to get some opinions on that.
In short, it may be a it of an unpopular opinion, but I really hate the gaming aesthetics with all the RGB lights and glass and in general how modern 3rd party PC cases look like. On the other hand I really enjoy the look of a most of the recent Lenovo ThinkCentres and ThinkStations as well as Fujitsu's Esprimos. There is just something about this industrial matte black with red accents I can't resist.
What I would love to do is to take some cheap Lenovo Thinkcentre, slap a GPU in it and have a budget Linux gaming PC, but the problem is most of the parts in these office systems are proprietary. It seems that I can't easily upgrade the PSU to handle a proper GPU, nor can I swap the motherboard for a new one if I wanted to.
Does anyone have any idea on which models of ThinkCentres/Stations are easily upgradeable or of any cases that have this understated industrial office look to them? The only case I kinda like is the Fractal North, but I get really discouraged when I compare their prices to a fully equipped Lenovo office PC and it just doesn't look as good.
Also, I've looked into Lenovo Legion and HP Omen prebuilts, and while they're not as bad a 3rd party cases, I just don't like them as much as say a P520, which unfortunately comes with some awful proprietary motherboard supporting only Xeons from 2017.
Anyway, I'm sorry for the rant. I'd love to hear your opinions and suggestions.
You're absolutely correct, and in my experience authors with physics background are even worse.
I've seen algorithms that I know by heart, understand fully and have implemented tens of times represented in such a way that I can't even recognise them.
+1 I'm surprised nobody else mentioned it. Alpine seems to be able to run on anything.
Recently found out about ouch. Found it really useful for decompressing files in the terminal as I can't seem to remember all the flags for tar, gzip, zip, rar and all the rest one may encounter which all seem to use different syntax.

It seems to be working for me.
Do you have a github or codeberg link?
I didn't think anyone would have interest in it so i haven't uploaded it. After new year's I could clean it up a bit and host it on github.
Maybe we should add it to awesome-lemmy?.
I think it may be e a bit too early for that. At the current state it supports dynamic fetching of the feed in the background (quite buggy), paginating and displaying long posts and displaying top level comments only. At the current state it's quite enough for me to enjoy a few (more like a few dozen) posts, but definitely not anywhere close to "awesome".
That made me laugh so hard. Are there really no clients for linux mobiles?
Thanks, I've only heard of sixel, but never really read into it. Sounds promising.
I went with chafa as it's terminal agnostic and supports various modes.
Then again, I'm not really sure a tui frontend needs high quality image rendering. Earlier I even considered going completely 1bit braille or just ASCII just so that the image doesn't take all of the focus at the expense of the post body.
As mentioned by another commenter, I believe opening the full image in an external viewer is a much better solution, not to mention easier to implement.
Async programming is really quite hard to wrap your head around. Currently I'm mostly struggling with excessive memory consumption.
There is one named neonmodem overdrive but it is buggy.
It really is buggy, iirc I couldn't even get it to run properly.
It also support discourse forums any plan for this?
I really don't have any plans (or even a name) for the app, as I've just started playing around with pythorhead yesterday. I just hoped posting a prototype or a proof of concept might spark a discussion and maybe inspire someone much more competent than me.
Uploaded it to catbox.moe and then just pasted the link in the url field when creating the post. Hope that helps :)
Thank you, that's so kind! I'll probably try to tackle the comments first as they come quite messy from the api, then I'll probably give the images a go.
To be honest, I'm hoping this project doesn't get out of my league too quickly as a have almost no experience with working with apis.
While complex tuis are definitely not my cup of tea (I prefer cli tools to be simple, otherwise I would probably use a proper gui), I'm really happy that I'm not the only one wishing for a way to access lemmy from the terminal.
I did, but i was going for something really small and simple, more like an ebook reader than a webui.

I'm not sure this is the right community.
I've been hoping for a TUI frontend for Lemmy for a while, but unfortunately none came out and I've decided to build a proof of concept on my own.
It's written in python with pythorhead, blessed and chafa.py and it's quite janky.
And I'd guess that's done in the backend instead of the frontend. They should be able to know how many times their server steamed a part of a video.
Well, it does harm creators, as they may get less money. The same goes for adblockers.
Then again I don't really understand why would you care about being "shamed", especially by a company that charges money for a frontend using YouTube's (extremely expensive) servers for free.
Take it with a grain of salt, as I can't provide any sources and I'm not a YouTube content creator. I just remember some channels sharing than.
I completely agree with you, and that's the reason I block them as well. I was just trying to give an explaination for the app's behaviour.
As I've mentioned in another thread, I believe YouTube provides analytics on this (hence the "most replayed" parts for some videos), and I'm certain I've seen some creators mention sposors requiring that information before a deal is made. So it may really hurt some small youtubers that can't rely on merchandise sales.
That said, I personally use sponsorblock as I don't feel like wasting my life on nordvpn ads, but I have to admit sponsor segments are a whole lot better than regular YouTube ads.
Edit: And as I far as I know they pay much better than regular ads.
Edit: The key was using msys2. After installing Gtk3 and PyGObject following the PyGObject guide for msys2 everything worked fine. Packaging with PyInstaller and nuitka was fine.
I've been developing an image halftoning app for a while using GTK on Linux, thinking GTK is cross platform, and delaying testing it on Windows for quite some time.
Today I decided to finally install Windows 10 (for the first time in more than a decade) on a separate machine and see what works and what does not.
For the past few hours I've been through hell trying to get GTK3 to work. I've followed multiple guides, none of which worked, including wingtk.
Furthermore, even if I successfully compile (or install) GTK, would it be possible to package it all up using something like PyInstaller or nuitka.
At this point I'm thinking of keeping the functions and writing a whole new GUI in Tk for the Windows port, as at least that seems to work.
Am I missing something?
I recently found out about shiori. It's absolutely great and does exactly what I need, exactly how I need it.
The only problem is, that it was conceived a single user CLI app it does not have any proper user separation and I kind of need it.
I wanted to create at least 3 archives: one for myself, one for my girlfriend and a public one to share with my students. I definitely don't want these three mixing.
Does anyone have any experience hosting shiori for multiple users? Do you believe there is a way to do that on bare metal, without resorting to VMs or Docker?
Hello, I'm looking to setup a simple Linux-based media center PC, as I really can't stand ad ridden TV interfaces, using an old tiny Lenovo Thinkcentre with a Ryzen 5 2400GE or something similar.
Does anyone have any experience with rendering 4K video on such a weak iGPU? All the information I seem to find is Windows only.
Hope I'm not in the wrong community.
I'm trying to download whole albums from Soundcloud using yt-dlp but they come without the metadata (artist, album, year) even when used with --embed-metadata.
I've tried searching but all the posts I can find talk about Youtube videos' metadata.
Does anyone have any experience with it?
I'm looking for an app or website to help my so improve her English.
We looked at Duolingo earlier (as I've used it before for learning a bit of Greek) but it does not support English to English courses. This is a problem as our native language is as obscure as it gets.
Do you have any recommendations? It would be awesome if the service was as gamelike as Duolingo.
This is my first post on Lemmy, I hope I'm not in the wrong community.
