Manned.org now also indexes man pages from NetBSD.

I managed to go back to NetBSD 1.3, released back in 1998.

@lanodan Perhaps, though database size is more significantly correlated with what information is stored. I'm sure VNDB would've been much larger if we had the full VN scripts. :blobsmilesweat:

Dear VNDB,

Please stay small.

Sincerely,

Manned.org's 20-minute database import.

The one thing I will never tire of doing, whether it's in real life or in games: petting dogs.

Another successful application of IPv6 NAT :blobcheer:

@subleq No, no, they've taken the nvidia approach. The free software part is just a loader for a binary blob that does the real work. I refuse to install this backdoor until the payload is also open sourced.

Doesn't look like I broke anything in production so far. Disappointing.

@subleq nonexistent :blobshrug:

I ended up breaking stuff. It was very therapeutic.

I like that my ISP can be silly and participate in April Fools, but the timing's a bit off and the joke not particularly funny. :blobshrug:

Though I suppose it doesn't have to be funny to be successful as a marketing campaign.

I was checking if GNU make has a shorter builtin flag to do -j`nproc`, instead the man page mentions:

> If the -j option is given without an argument, make will not limit the number of jobs that can run simultaneously.

Uuuh, that might be a little excessive. :blobcatscared:

My IPv6 setup at home broke and it took me two weeks to notice. :blobshrug:

I regularly break stuff on VNDB just to give the impression I'm still working on the site.

The thing I like about VNDB's API: it's delightfully simple to extend.

The thing I don't like about VNDB's API: it's so delightfully simple to extend that I now spend 80% of my time on documentation.

The dark arts of taming C libraries for use with seccomp.

Why does building C/C++ projects have to be so damn awful.

People who use ellipsis to describe their VNDB edits deserve to get banned for reason: "..."

There is something funny about seeing obvious AI-generated spam in a HN topic about AI.

Downside of a beefy GPU: I spent 4 kWh on gaming last weekend.

I forgot how tricky it is to write a C library that does concurrent stuff. Can't even decide on an API. Callbacks that may be run from another thread context? Blocking function calls, with or without support for cancellation? Expose a state-machine based event loop?

So many possibilities, they all suck and there's no standard.
