Vic 20 was my first. I watched my dad struggle with and eventually give up on assembly. Something-something and the microbots. I was fearful of it until I took Assembly at Uni. That 2nd/3rd year class was where the final puzzle piece of how computers work fell in place for me.

My first job was writing assembly tests for a DSP hardware design team. Fell in love. Never looked back.

Could probably replace managers with AI, but being trained on most managers would mean it would be equally bad at its job.

I think the most likely is for the artists jobs to go away as art doesn’t have to be exact, but code does.

Finding a good client is hard. Folks recommend the Nvidia Shield Pro. Finding something that plays all the formats and can pass audio through hdmi to a AV receiver. Umcompressed HD audio, HDR/10/DolbyVision. Etc.

If I can just pop a debian machine down, that is great, but a hardware guide would be nice to see.

I mean, we are on Lemmy, I figured limux was implied

My current requirements for a vr headset now: Not Meta/Facebook Ability to work with Steam VR Zero-setup (inside out tracking)

I get what he is saying, but I loved both ‘dig’ games. Could not stand Heist, and haven’t set aside time for build.

Good on them I guess.

Perfect!

I also used CHDK on my way old PowerShot elph. Amazed this stuff is still going.

If you work in some place with a bunch of network disks, this is safe and fast. core.untrackedCache=true

If you are on a local disk, this is faster/better. core.fsmonitor=true

If you code adding the current branch to your shell prompt will change your world.

Also, if you are getting good use out of find, you should learn to pipe the output to GNU parallel. Put those cores to work!

Where?

Interesting, if old, article.

I only saw Oxide and Friends when I was posting above, so I will certainly check it out.

Not top 3, just my top (now ended) podcast of all time.

On the Metal https://oxide.computer/podcasts/on-the-metal The description: As a part of starting Oxide Computer Company, Bryan Cantrill and Jess Frazelle decided to also create the podcast that they always wanted. Joined frequently by their boss, Steve Tuck, Bryan and Jess interview incredible guests retelling stories of adventure at the hardware/software interface. It’s unapologetically technical and as Jess says, “the nerdiest podcast on the face of the planet” – but if you’re their kind of nerd, you’ll find yourself hanging on every word!

DevOps for me in hardware (chip design/verification)

You would thing a bunch of engineers would know how to use conputers, but no, they are good at chip deign. Automating stuff for them gives insane benefits and scale.

I feel it, fellow automation-human.

To me the automation calls harder than the gains, but when I do fix stuff for my org of 500 or so people, it is so good.

Thanks for this!

Looks like there is an LDAP auth plugin: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-plugin-ldapauth

If you ran such a beast.

Jellyfin has a (plugin) opds server for ebooks that use the same accounts as the rest of jellyfin. I use calibre to deal with organization/metadata.

If you have a bunch of plex users, switching to jellyfin might be a bridge too far.
