@cvi I thought about that but the subject was clearly drawing conclusions.

That custom CSS of mine keeps on giving.

@Tsaukpaetra probably more efficient without the check
You need at least the test for
$TMUX
, otherwise you'll always get an error in a new session because tmux will start a login shell and execute the whole thing again. That is, you get an error without theexec
—I think with it, it may just blow up completely without the check.
You could save a few milliseconds for thecommand
if you're sure you have tmux installed of course. Just makes it easier to share the .profile among many machines.How about opening two sessions on the same machine?

@loopback0 You can get that at Walmart for $3 total.

@topspin but then it wouldn't be designer would it? It would be fake.

@loopback0 while I was unable to confirm authenticity of your picture (ie. it should go to Funny Stuff Thread rather than here), their actual real spring 2022 collection is no less ridiculous.

@loopback0 you're right. Sorry. (Second link third photo.)

@Gąska those are especially terrible.
Also I assume this is their bank robber collection
-
@loopback0 Wow. Despite the price of those things, that still manages to maintain a rather high UPP (ugly per pound) ratio.

In other news I realised today that one of the bottled waters on sale in my local coffee shop is a brand of 'smart water' that has added electrolytes - and is owned by Coca Cola. All it needs is the Brawndo name and the tagline that it's got what plants crave.
Idiocracy is somewhat less than 500 years in the future.

Fat shaming thread is
This is the opposite tho.

It's the "COVID Keep Your Distance" dress!
To be fairy, it's slightly fancier than the 2020 collection.

@Gąska Is that CP2077 clothing/armor guide?

@dcon so the review COULD be requested after all! All she had to do was start a social media shitstorm!

@Gąska Reminds me of the time that some app developer got banned from the entirety of Google for some stupid reason beyond their control, and the only reason he got it back was because his blog post about it went viral.

@hungrier back in the day you went to local press. Maybe got a TV interview if you were lucky. Social media changed nothing except cutting out the middleman.

Obviously reviews are requested by tagging GD in .

@hungrier ... Social media changed nothing except cutting out the middleman.
... by adding hundreds of middlemen.

They're doing the ones first? That's gonna blow the magnetohydrodynamical boundary layer all to hell and back. You really need to do bit-balancing more ongoing than that. At their scale, someone could get hurt.

@hungrier also reminds me of the incident a couple of years later where the guy who is the lead at whatever studio built Terraria got their Google account locked, and he ended up saying 'if you don't get my account sorted out, we'll cancel Terraria for Stadia' and it was a mild shitstorm at the time.

I recently learned that Microsoft integrated curl into the command line of Windows.
I also learned that curl that is integrated into Windows is absolute fucking garbage.

Seems like it's pretty current... (current curl release is 7.81.0)
>c:\Windows\System32\curl.exe --version
curl 7.79.1 (Windows) libcurl/7.79.1 Schannel
Release-Date: 2021-09-22
-
@dcon it may be that any version of curl, once integrated with Windows, will be absolute garbage in use - curl usage benefits from being able to treat things as files and other OS features not present in Windows.

Release-Date: 2021-09-22It might be current, but currently on the Windows command line it is absolute garbage.
Example: We have been deploying far too much software with our RMM due to workers not being in the office and accessible to our other tools. The RMM has a file upload limit of 200MB, which is usually sufficient. But when it isn't it is a pain in the ass. So I find that curl is now available. Easy peasy.
curl https://example.com/Installer.exe --output Installer.exe
Right?
80% of the time the output is garbage and msiexec fails.
I could use PowerShell and Invoke-WebRequest or Start-BitsTransfer but reliably capturing output in our RMM using PowerShell can be unreliable at times.
-
@Polygeekery Is curl using Windows's text mode for file manipulation instead of binary mode? I.e. replacing
CR
/LF
withCRLF
. That would corrupt lots of file types.
-
@djls45 I had not thought of that being the issue. You might be on to something. Earlier I said that it failed 80% of the time, but actually now that I think about it, I don't think it ever worked. I think I confused it with the later switch to PowerShell.
-
@djls45 Or, worse, treating it as text and therefore trying to re-encode it as UTF-16 (like, is the file twice as large as you'd expect?).
No, wait, that's Powershell's party trick. Nevermind.
-
@Watson half-measures will be the death of us. They were so close to truly agnostic UTF-32 support.

It is 6:41pm and things are winding down. I go to check what tickets came in today to see if anything needs my attention, make sure everything is going well as it should, etc. I see this:
Okay, so nothing too interesting. A person that one of our clients corresponds with seems to be having some Outlook issues and has received literally hundreds of meeting updates over the past couple of hours. The person that pulled the ticket said that there is nothing that we can really do about it beside block that person, or see about filtering meeting updates from them to be dumped to the electronic circular file. Let the person know they are having computer issues and annoying people.
One interesting thing, I did a quick search to see who the person was and if they look like someone that might be technologically illiterate. They do. They also work for a bank that our client seems to work with.
But that is not the . is me. I saw the subject line and could barely help but reply to the ticket with the pirate joke. Because I am the mind of a child trapped in a middled aged body with gray hair.
You know the pirate joke, right?
For the people that are too mature to be fun
A pirate walked into a bar with a ship’s steering wheel hanging off his dick.
The bartender says, “Hey! What’s with the steering wheel?”
The pirate says, “I don’t know but it’s driving me nuts!”

More supply chain issues fucking up our work. We have a service that we deploy that utilizes large format touch screens so we use off the shelf TVs and add on infrared touch screen frames. The ones we typically order are completely out of stock and we cannot get anymore for a month. There are other options but they do not list a Linux driver as being available. So now I get to drop $1600 on infrared frames to see if I can get them to work on Linux.
They should. Most of them are cookie cutter Lego parts so these are probably the same as we normally order, but I am still venturing into uncharted waters to try and meet a deadline.

Why do they need drivers in the first place? Aren't they emulating a digitizing tablet? (If so, they should work with Linux, or anything else really. It even works out-of-the-box with Windows 98.)

But why do it in firmware if you can write sloppy inefficient driver code instead?
