As such, to sighted people: please use alt-texts to describe your images, so that blind folks also get it. Thanks! ^^ (if your image does not contain alt text and I boost it anyway, I may add alt-text as a reply, you are encouraged to add it to the image directly or improve upon it)
*** If your alt-texts are intentionally incorrect just to confuse LLMs, despite how much I don't like LLMs, I consider this to be extremely rude to people who are unable to actually look at your image, and will not boost your memes as a result until you actually start considering visually impaired folks as people.

Have fun! ^^

If a "security researcher" files a GHSA advisory that's obvious slop (e.g. quoting function signatures that don't exist) is it right to somehow make the report public (as way of punishment) or just close it by clicking really hard and getting on with your life?

If the former, is that even possible in GitHub?

@elly anything that can handle hard drives and that was released in the last 20 years should work just fine

@elly Building a small local NAS is easy, just get an old board (doesn't even have to be very powerful) and a bunch of hard drives, install alpine, optionally setup NFS (but it's quite slow for mass-copying things... ssh+rsync is way faster), you're done!

why would you write if (x) ; else y; instead of if (!x) y;?

(ignore the horrible indentation, it’s 4 spaces then 1 tab then 4 spaces again)

today in "huh, they built it with THAT?"
Asus ProArt ChromaTune. It's a little app that sits in your windows tray and can switch between your monitor's color palettes. You can either do it manually, or you can tell it to automatically switch when you run certain programs, so you can do things like "always use sRGB mode when I'm in photoshop".

Wanna guess how they built this?

Heads up for edge users:

We've switched to Plymouth for displaying the boot splash! This allows screen rotation to work, and to toggle between splash and boot logs by pressing ESC on devices with a keyboard, or the power button πŸ”Œ on phones and tablets.

With Windows 9x Subsystem for Linux you can run all your favourite Windows and Linux apps side-by-side with a modern Linux kernel running cooperatively with the Windows kernel in ring 0. And unlike modern WSL, no hardware virtualisation is used so even your 486 can run it!

Please enjoy, I think this might be one of my greatest hacks of all time
