@beej @ldottxt Might be worthwhile for people who are right-handed to practice writing with their left hand as well. I for one learned to type with just my left hand at one point, and now I have a keyboard with the number pad on the left side (makes the mouse closer to my right hand's typing position) so I'm learning to use it left-handed as well.

There really needs to be more Scifi Isekai manga. The last one I found was mostly cheating since it was more Scifi officer lands on backward planet. This one though, "Mezametara Saikyou Soubi to Uchuusen-mochi Datta no de, Ikkodate Mezashite Youhei Toshite Jiyuu ni Ikitai", actually has the main character flying around in a space ship taking down pirates.

@eniko Yeah, I got frustrated after awhile with the amount of noise on Twitter, and cut my follow list down to just people that I knew from elsewhere. It was much less stressful after that.

@gamingonlinux The web browser on steamdeck desktop mode couldn't even stream it.

@gamingonlinux @rotopenguin Ah, checked Steam, and it doesn't even have a Linux version. It does have gameplay videos there though.

This Isekai Walking comic is interesting, but I don't know if it's going to keep getting translated. It's had 3 chapters translated, each by a different person.

@requiem @ajroach42 Well, they also have that they are making their own custom chips as well now. Almost all of the other SBC companies are repackaging someone else's chips in ways that the original creators didn't intend. Of course, that only applies to their lowest end products right now and not the Pi 4.

@requiem @ajroach42 I like Pine64 and their products, but I've never had good luck with the OSes for them, always seems like the selection of distros is extremely limited when compared to the Pi. I used to use a Pinebook Pro, but basically they started pushing Manjaro to the exclusion of all else on it, and Manjaro wasn't working correctly on my system. I finally gave up and switched to using a Steamdeck with some accessories as my low end laptop for trips.

@stuff That video definitely jumped the helicopter. I didn't see any sharks however.

@benjedwards Even in the 56k era there was somewhat limited upload capacity compared to download for home users, it's just a much bigger disparity now. Of course, with cloudflare I actually do run some services out of my house via a tunnel.

@anime His wife going after him with a bow after that was amusing.

30 years ago—on November 25, 1992—I started The Cave BBS in Raleigh, NC

I was only 11 years old, and after a devastating hack, I began to hide my age online

I wrote about my BBS for Ars Technica: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/12/my-secret-life-as-an-11-year-old-bbs-sysop/

Benj's Cave BBS computer in 1994. The original Cave BBS main menu, designed by Radon. The Cave BBS ANSI by Nukemaster, circa 1993 A Cave BBS promotional ANSI created by Nukemaster in 1993

@benjedwards Nice. I was 12 when I started up my BBS in Colorado. 1200 baud modem and a 286 with 114mb of hard disk space...

🦀📺 has finally become mainstream: hackers in TV shows are now compiling Rust to look cool. 😁

(From Pantheon S1E5.)

A still from an animated series, Pantheon. A character with glasses is looking at a green screen with three terminal windows. The two in front show the logs of a web server (but all slashes in the paths except for the leading one are backslashes for some reason). The third terminal in the background shows the output of Cargo: all lines show the word "Compiling" followed by a real crate name and a fake version.

@unascribed (though the conversion isn't exactly the same.)

@unascribed Or Furlongs per Firkin, if you want to use the mass of the fuel rather than the volume. With pints you're really hand-waving out an additional "at X temperature" factor.

ATTENTION EVERYONE WRINGING THEIR HANDS OVER “ ADMINS CAN READ MY DIRECT MESSAGES”: have *always* been able to read your and DMs unless encrypted, including at the big and Internet providers. We used to have t-shirts that said, “I READ YOUR EMAIL.”

It’s just hitting now because you got used to places where the admins were kept away in their cubicles and data centers instead of greeting you at the front door.
