Are you an eternally recovering MMO addict that loves to watch bars fill and numbers go up? Perhaps you are looking for a way to feed your insatiable ADD while working at your programming job? You might enjoy Git Ascension, where the goal is to become the ultimate 100,000,000x developer by making git commits and leveling your multipliers. #rust #git #linux #programming https://github.com/Fingel/git-ascend

@rooktallon do terminal apps work well for you? If so, irssi is very minimal. Weechat as well.

@josh That's a beast! Good luck.

@dhry I'm pretty sure that just reveals the password...

@epicserve I used to use sqlite more when computers were slower, and before the advent of docker. It was worth the potential behavioral inconsistency for the massive speed up (for some projects)

Now that spinning up a postgres container is pretty fast, I use sqlite much less if the project uses postgres in production. The tradeoff is less worth it.

@jimw No, this: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/contrib/sites/

The issue with your solution is that depending on how the app is deployed, you might find the generated url will have an internal address like 10.100.9.8 instead of the one you expect. It's particularly insidious because often it will appear to work perfectly fine during dev, only to blow up on prod.

Often when you can't find a solution to something that seems like it would be common it's more a warning sign that you might want to rethink your approach.

@jimw that’s because it’s almost always a bad idea. Depending on how the app is hosted, scheme, url etc are going to be different (proxies, containers, etc). Better to use and environment variable to build absolute urls or leverage the sites framework.

Forget preemptive multitasking, what's really important for your OS is to have an ASCII banner. #zig #osdev

The #gnome wellbeing features are great, I honestly feel healthier after a day's work. But there are a few rough edges - for example, the popups can get annoying during meetings or other activities where stepping away from your computer to lift weights isn't really possible. The "Delay" option only seems to last like, 30 seconds?

Anyway, until the GNOME team works out the kinks here's an extension to easily toggle off the reminders: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/8098/wellbeing-toggle/

While we were busy trying to write efficient software and playing pointless code golf, a group of dedicated mathematicians and computer scientists worked together to find the longest running program possible (that eventually terminates).

@diegovsky Thanks! :)

@amartya It'll make you work too!

#Arch #Linux is the best distro for #Rust enjoyers, by the way. https://www.pedaldrivenprogramming.com/2025/04/arch-linux-is-for-rust-lovers/

@discatte I'm kinda curious if "frag" is even a word used anymore. What's it called in Fortnite these days?

@discatte Holy throwback. Nice find.

@eramdam I really miss when computer UI elements had depth and shape to them. Even Apple Platinum looks modern and fresh at this point.

For me it was pkill sshd or pkill.telnet

What is QT used for again?

@cameronbosch true about the laptops. Their desktops are amazing though.

@cameronbosch Agreed. I think it's best to buy from companies that support Linux directly like System76 or Tuxedo, but I understand that not everyone can afford that.

Another thing that always bothered me was that the whole Asahi thing just felt like a monumental waste of human energy. What I mean by that is the schematics are sitting right there in Cupertino. None of the reverse engineering work is really truly necessary except that Apple wants it to be.
