ah yes, `sizeof(unsigned char) != 8`, my favorite kind of system

@SuperDicq no, ffmpeg is really bad at metadata stuff though their encoder is fine. in my experience metaflac is the only super precise tool when it comes to flac header blocks, and i say this as an implementer of flac in both directions. there’s no tool like the reference tool.

it is my professional opinion that NAT is network terrorism

it has been incident two (2) and zero (0) days since automatic MTU adjustment on wireguard failed and a bunch of shit in my infrastructure broke with weird patterns.

I advise you: in every single wireguard config, add
MTU = 1280

DO IT RIGHT NOW IT MAY BREAK ANY MOMENT

@lanodan uuuh my gnu tar on arch linux does not? -z is not “autodetect compression”, it’s “use gzip”. it explicitly errors out when you give it compressed content on stdin.

optionally, replace bsdtar by tar with -xz arguments, but that won’t work with anything except gzipped packages (bsdtar auto-detects compression, so it’s more general)

shell monday: if you want to download a package from npm, without actually using npm, some basic unix shell work does the trick:

curl https://registry.npmjs.org/package/version | jq -r '.dist.tarball' | xargs curl | bsdtar -x -C package

hello fediverse, i am looking for a page i found some time ago that gave a very clear and neutral summary about llms to non-technical people, basically concluding at every step of the way that there’s very little actual value they can bring. it was in the form of summary cards, about 10 of them iirc. i have looked everywhere but can’t find it anymore. i’m pretty sure i saw it on fedi. :BoostOK:

in my “cool talks from 38c3” series: an awesome talk about how to coreboot your own system (if, hopefully, your manufacturer screwed up)! awesome work by @april and @elly (and i did some camerawork here as well uwu)

@kaia @darkphoenix as others have said, lucida.to is basically perfect since it just rips from streaming services using legitimate accounts
