@maddy Can’t you just change your username and keep the UID so permissions are unaffected? You can even have multiple usernames per UID if you want to keep the old one, I think whichever is first in /etc/passwd will be the canonical one. Some BSDs have two accounts sharing UID 0 (root and toor)

I just ate glue by the way. No i am not joking today. I love being the dev of this game and having access to this account. Now everyone gets to know I just took a big big bite out of glue. Yummyyyyy ^.^ !!! Anyway Supertux 0.7 might release probably on 3.14 day. Or 3/14 if you're american or whatever. Or 14/3. Haha Pi get it ugh I dont even care. The taste of glue is still in my mouth. If anyone knows how to thoroughly get glue out of your mouth do say. The stick glue kind btw. Its purple btw.

@gintoxicating I currently use Gandi, OVH, and Porkbun for different domains, although I’m going to transfer the domains on Gandi to Mythic Beasts and/or Porkbun (Mythic Beasts doesn’t do .xyz so I can’t transfer everything to there), because Gandi raised prices for .org a lot (and I forgot to cancel automatic renewal in time last year). OVH I need to keep for .edu.pl, there aren’t that many other options.

If I was registering a domain now I’d probably use Mythic Beasts or Porkbun, depending on the TLD.

@tris how does that happen?

Meanwhile in Osaka/Japan: over night, a sewer pipe rises from the underground, lifting asphalt.
Still unclear on how it came to that.

@kemona_halftau meow!

@maddy @seabass It would be, although even NetBSD requires at least a 486 now (I'm not sure what the last version to run on a 386 is)

@maddy @seabass No, I'm referring to this kind of thing: https://amazon.com/dp/B00AQT2LRK

It's intended for laptops where there may not be room for an adapter

@maddy @seabass Did you know that you can get PATA SSDs? (but unless it's in a laptop it'd probably be cheaper to use an adapter)

There's an Am386SX in my grandma's house that my dad bought for her and she has never used, I have no idea if it still works.

@seabass congratulations!

@ari I want to avoid requiring non-free software at all costs, so if it was more of an issue I’d probably use something like sethrawall (SSH-based authentication) or just require manual confirmation

@algernon @ari Consider enabling signin via framagit.org (or some other GitLab CE instance that doesn't require non-free software to register). Forgejo as an oauth2 provider doesn't support scopes yet so by signing in via Codeberg gives the forge you're signing in to full access to your Codeberg account, and I'd rather avoid GitHub.

@ari I have the built-in (free software) forgejo CAPTCHA enabled and require email confirmation. Then I just manually clean up all accounts with unconfirmed emails (which is all of the spam accounts) occasionally.

I did switch between two monitors though, that probably helped

RE: https://ck.catwithaclari.net/notes/ajojt88um1yd01wi

@elly I wouldn’t call any of that old, it’s newer than every computer I have.

My main laptop is a ThinkPad T440p (~13 years old, with i7-4700MQ, 16GB DDR3L, and a 500GB SATA SSD (Samsung 860 EVO that’s at least 6 years old although not in constant use during that time)), and I would compile Linux on it.

I do have some newer computers but they’re still all older than 2020:

• My school laptop (and also the one I took to FOSDEM): ThinkPad T480s (~8 years old, i5-8250U, 16GB DDR4, 240GB NVMe)
• What’s going to replace my current server (and I currently use to build absurdly huge stuff like OpenBMC): Supermicro X11SSH-LN4F (motherboard from 2017, CPU from 2019 (i3-9350KF), 32GB ECC DDR4, 2x 1TB NVMe SSDs in btrfs RAID-1 (WD Red SN700, the only new component))

Both of the working smartphones I have (PinePhone and OnePlus 8T) are from 2020. I don’t see why anyone would need a faster SoC than the Snapdragon 865 on a phone, it’s mainly restricted by the shitty operating system (Android). I think part of the reason people upgrade phones so often is a combination of phone manufacturers only providing a few years of updates and difficult-to-replace batteries.

(Also it must be LPDDR3 not DDR3L in your KOHAKU, that SoC doesn’t support DDR3L)

are there any other cases of linux man pages documenting non-existent functions that are not provided by any library and exist only as implementations provided in the man page itself, or is this the only one?

RE: https://berkeley.edu.pl/objects/ccc44049-4f9f-46a6-8ae3-0f98cdf024bb

@ariadne @pius I was reading the string_copying(7) man page to remind me of what the different string copying functions do, and apparently it recommends using strtcpy and stpecpy instead of strlcpy and strlcat, both of which appear to have just been made up by the authors of that man page since it also says "This function is not provided by any library; see EXAMPLES for a reference implementation."

@cwebber this is why it's always important to know where your towel is

@maddy @Chloe surprisingly my server survived a christineboost, but before I installed go-away, scrapers scraping forgejo were enough to slow it down to the point SSH'ing into the host apparently took several minutes

it's currently running on a VM with 4 Xeon E5-1620 v2 (ivy bridge) cores, 8GB RAM, and 200GB HDD storage
