got the big brain idea to load my SSP world in to modded minecraft. shoulda been doing this since the beginning 😎

anyway nini fedi. so far ive broken two tools on my seized brake drum.

devs sanitize their inputs.
hackers sanitize their outputs.

need a flipper zero app to test ws2812 and apa102 rgb led strips.

yes i could use a nodemcu flashed with wled. but the only one i have is currently in-circuit.

@ahermitforhire@pagan.plus when they stopped making things that used them. the newest thing around me that takes 9v is some Fischer Price walkie talkies, from '91 or so.

9v was always a weird voltage. isn't that like, half a "B" cell's voltage from tube radios? i know it's often used for bias voltage. also lots of audio amps want between 6 and 15v so they work great there so long as the current draw is low enough.

i needed AAAA (quad-A) batteries for an active touch stylus, and a pack of those was cheaper than a single 9v. however it is worth noting that a 9v battery can be constructed from 6x AAAA cells: http://www.bristolwatch.com/img/9volt.jpg

purple's good-ass sysadmin services and foot massage

@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com lmao no

absolutely not

now they did make the CTS-V and that sumbitch got pretty nasty..

@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com there is only one luxury car brand i care about and that's classic Cadillac.

@kaia@brotka.st no, but i keep my hiking backpack packed. if i grab that and the bin it sits in, i'll have 100% of my camping supplies including food and water. if i grab my daypack also, at that point i'll consider it "bugout" worthy

@mia@movsw.0x0.st @icedquinn@blob.cat mmmmm i made the mistake of using the source. they've come full circle. it's now tar archives.

https://salsa.debian.org/dpkg-team/dpkg/-/blob/main/src/deb/build.c?ref_type=heads#L468

90% sure you could pass it bzip2 and it wouldn't even bitch, just be undocumented lol

@mia@movsw.0x0.st @icedquinn@blob.cat noted, ty

@mia@movsw.0x0.st @icedquinn@blob.cat i routinely run in to the problem a package manager trying to restart a service that 1: doesn't need to be restarted and 2: refuses to come back up cleanly because the other packages it depends on hasn't been updated yet.

find me a package manager that solve that and i'll switch immediately. hell, i'll join the dev team.

@mia@movsw.0x0.st @icedquinn@blob.cat i assure you it supports bzip

@mia@movsw.0x0.st @icedquinn@blob.cat .deb is cpio

@mia@movsw.0x0.st @icedquinn@blob.cat my bad, that was an unfinished thought. from the current dpkg-deb manpage, the utility that glues a package together:

```
-Zcompress-type
Specify which compression type to use when building a package.
Allowed values are gzip, xz (since dpkg 1.15.6), zstd (since
dpkg 1.19.0.5ubuntu2) and none (default is zstd).
```
they are cpio archives with any of the above compression, and the archive itself can ofc contain whatever pre-compressed files you desire.

in the Pentium II days, debian did skip over bzip2 for packages and it was due to the extreme memory requirements it demanded when the decision was made. anyone with less than ~64MB of RAM wouldn't have been able to install it, which would have excluded a huge chunk of hobbyists at the time.

by the time they got around to considering adding bzip2, xz had come along and was better in every way.

off topic, but, i'd like to see them add parallel decompression in dpkg-deb 👉👈

@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com don't. it was shit then and it's only gotten worse.

some of ya'll don't realize that on the internet nobody knows you're a capybara.

and it shows.

good morning fedi.

@shibao@misskey.bubbletea.dev come to Michigan. you're guaranteed to see women running front-end loaders or dozers or steam compactors in construction zones 💯💯

@samgai@vocalounge.cafe openttd block signals are why factorio has chain signals 💯 you can read it on their blog

@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com i love feeling abs when i crunch it too hard xD it's not nearly as good as my edge braking, tho.

i love throttle by wire. it makes all sorts of other stuff practically free if the mfr chooses to. like cruise control.

@kaia@brotka.st in the bodymod culture i'm a part of, the shop takes a cut of the artist's fees so the tip is there to help mitigate that.

the artists lease their workspace.
