Same as last year, 3840x1600.

@lanodan @nihl I remember there was a time when it was trendy for intros to call into the Microsoft Sam API.

https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=10545 is brilliant

@nihl Probably not quite your genre, but the demoscene has some fun xmas tunes to offer as well. E.g.

On the one hand, I need to find a better approach to kernel configuration than going through all the obscure "make oldconfig" questions that make zero sense to me every year.

On the other hand, I have opinions™ about the perfect kernel config. :blobcatthinkingglare:

@mgorny That's an insult to PHP.

Reporting the same thing over and over again for a year isn't going to change my mind. :blobshrug:

"We want to buy vndb.org. We plan to turn the site into a blog."

It's rare for marketing scammer assholes to be so straightforward.

I'm too scared to update my laptop to Alpine 3.23 because it might break suspend again. :blobcatnotlikethis:

I didn't have to worry, it just works.

UPS + generator kept my homeserver alive through a 2.5 hour power outage. :blobcheer:

First time that setup saw some actual use.

5 hours of software updates today.

(I thought this 3700X was pretty damn fast when I got it, but software has a tendency to get slower every day)

@wolf480pl Yup, better grouping helps a lot. :meowsignthx:

Back to the age-old problem of Naming Things™.

I made a list of all notification types on VNDB and want short and clear identifiers for them, but some of these names are shit.

"Database edit" triggers when an entry is edited that the user has *subscribed to*, but that subscription part is missing from the name. Same for "trait application", "forum post" (which also includes comments on subscribed reviews) and "new review". Suggestions? Or am I going to need 3+ words to name these notifications? :blobcatthinkingglare:

This placeholder loading fad needs to die. :blobcatpolice:

@wolf480pl @lanodan Elaborated upon in another issue (lost the link). Yup, the std lib is going to shrink while they're going through the stabilization process.

I hope enough useful tools will remain, I don't like small stdlibs...

@winterwolves Maybe selling visual novels as "games" is not the best idea.

Looks like more developers are adding their own games to VNDB.

In other words, we're getting more drive by contributions from people who are not familiar with the database and whose primary motivation has nothing to with improving the site. That's not a great development. :blobcatnotlikethis:

Unexpected twist: Gentoo has stabilized Zig and the ncdu 2.x branch. Wasn't expecting that before Zig 1.0.
