monitor arm was a good investment, this is nice
do you know what gcc does when you feed it a .C file?

hisense TV causing issues to windows PC's over the network by announcing thousands of unique UPNP ID's for itself, filling up the index of devices and causing device indexing to slow to a crawl. Astounding. You could totally make an annoying little device that does this.
I got my hands on a Duet 3 Chromebook tablet. I did consider grabbing the larger Duet 5 but I already have a 13" class device and as tempting as that big beautiful oled display is, I like small laptops. Really the perfect size for a computer, they shouldn't make computers any bigger than this.
Running Postmarket, incredible how little pain there was in getting this up and running, mainline on ARM has really come a way. I have wanted a little ARM portable computer for basically as long as I have known that ARM existed. The Snapdragon 7c gen 2 isn't fast but it's plenty, I think the biggest thing holding this back is video codec support.
Briefly fidgeted with current-generation chromeOS before doing this, I haven't touched ChromeOS in a while. I can see why you'd use it, it's perfectly pleasant as a system. High quality top-to-bottom integration, hilariously the chrome install even grandfathered in my ublock origin from my Google account so I had Adblock in Chrome on a Chromebook with zero effort. You can even install containerised Linux workloads with Google's blessing, if it's a personal system. If I wasn't a gremlin this would be pretty nice actually.
Linux obviously lacks some of the polish of more commercial operating systems when it comes to mobile support. Plasma's onscreen keyboard is functional but lacking, Gnome is better but only a little. Accelerometer and pen input work perfectly on Plasma, Gnome needs some transforms and udev rules that are mutually incompatible so I need to try and rewrite those. Honestly this is going way better than I expected. Better accelerometer support than my amd64 laptop, which has an awkward middle child of AMD's Sensor Fusion Hub that just never really got good driver support.
Had some mysterious crashes that seem to have settled now. I'll try and fill in some notes on the wiki and try to write some patches for the mobile tools. I'm not sure if I'm going to use Gnome or Plasma. I only briefly poked at Plasma Mobile, which is pretty good but too mobile for something this large. They're both pretty good in their own ways. Plasma's keyboard is actually more technically capable but it's a lot less convenient to deploy. I'll probably have to hack on either of them and I am much more familiar with KDE than Gnome. I also like KDE more but undeniably Gnome has benefited from Ubuntu's weird phone obsession.
Yesterday, the 4 RAM bars "CORSAIR Vengeance DDR5 RAM 128GB" for my second workstation arrived and installed this morning... YES... there comes joy!

Been doing computer stuff all morning but different computer stuff to the normal computer stuff I do. #Linux #ComputerStuff
What little I’ve tried on #GeForceNow has been pretty solid so far. Only tested a couple things on iPhone, Chromecast and Mac; and only over wifi but fairly impressed. #ComputerStuff
@lardmotel Weird. I personally find the long blue cables way more reliable than wireless. But that's possibly because I have way too many wireless access points (partly because big house) and I'm not smart enough to set wireless up correctly. (Again, blue cables easier: plug things in and information flows. No weird settings to align.)
That all said, things have improved when we got a Netgear Orbi mesh network set up. Expensive, but seemingly worth it due to reduced hassle. #computerstuff
I have an internet modem Downstairs and a long blue cable that runs Upstairs where all the computer stuff is. This is becoming unreliable. Is there a Better Way maybe using wireless? #computerstuff
On this day in 1990 "WorldWideWeb: Proposal for a HyperText Project" was submitted to CERN by T. Berners-Lee/CN, R. Cailliau/ECP. You can read that proposal here: https://w3.org/Proposal.html

Oh, fun, time to update the PHP version on my websites this morning. One time when I did this, it broke everything, so I'm nervous every time now, and extremely relieved that all three sites were updated just now without incident. #ComputerStuff #AuthorWebsite #RomanceRockBands #TiedStarBooks
Bon, comme j'oublie tout le temps ce truc, je le mets ici : si, en ligne de commande sous GNU/Linux, on lance une commande mais qu'elle échoue parce qu'il faut les privilèges du superutilisateur, on peut simplement écrire `sudo !!` et taper Entrée pour relancer la commande précédente avec `sudo`.
