What are your requirements? I liked CalenGoo, I can live with aCalendar and BusinessCalendar.

They really had the gall to mention the benefits for families moving in.

If I remember correctly, you should be able to just install the GitHub version.

Honestly, if you’re in the audience for Thunderbird on Android, you probably also want to have a look at FairMail instead.

Edit: phrasing

Side note: please don’t abuse the word “toxic” until it becomes absolutely meaningless. Let’s keep that to a more fitting context, having a

I was expressing an obviously personal opinion about the language itself, which is objectively a dull, barren wasteland that sucks out your soul while you walk it. That is precisely the reason why it’s so widespread and loved by business entities and managers - there is no excitement, no surprises, just an everlasting monotony of keys clicking produced by a horde of clones wearing button-down shirts while sitting in absolute identical cubicles, creating yet another instance of FactoryProducer. It’s very easy to plan and schedule for, while at the same time being unnecessarily verbose and mildly unproductive (compared to other languages).

Look, the JVM is fine, just pick another language. There is plenty of work doing Kotlin. But yes, if you’re doing this only for the money, go ahead. I’ve always been unable to separate my job fromy personal life and my other interests, I couldn’t imagine being cursed by Java again.

If you can sit somewhere for 8 to 10 hours each day, doing something that isn’t fun and separate yourself from it, not going insane, all the power to you. I also get that not everyone has the luxury of picking their favorite toy and making it their job, but I firmly believe there are options that are not Java.

Now, if you’re one of the rare types that actually enjoys Java, meet me in the closest Denny’s parking lot, I need your cranial measurements.

Please note: this post contains hyperbole and humor. I don’t hate any of you, I just hate Java

My personal recommendation:

• Pick up Python, it’s easy to learn and highly productive. If you also learn fastAPI, you can benefit from highly validated, declarative models to build REST APIs in the backend, well fast. It will yield quick results, you won’t become demotivated and you can pick up a paid project soon.

• Pick up Rust. It’s “in” right now and I get requests from marketing people that know nothing about programming, asking if their project could be implemented in Rust

• Go with memorizing the shell commands first, try to understand git later. Get productive, try to get where you were with e. g. svn or cvs. If you are comfortable, look at something in depth if you have a problem that you can’t solve with the knowledge you have.

• Fuck Java, seriously.

• You have commercial interests, so it is probably wise to look into becoming a fullstack dev to maximize the kind of projects you can do. Look into React, vue.js, svelte. React is probably still the most widely used framework, you’ll quickly do a project with vue.js and svelte is a super interesting look into things to come.

It is, probably. But I did a check before I posted and it did display content from Lemmy. Just pointing out alternatives here.

I think Fedilab should do both:

Yeah, that’s the implication. Unfortunately, that is also misleading people into believing they might get a well-tested, nearly bug free game.

At 7h / day of just testing, 200k hours amount to approximately 110 years, given 260 working days per year.

Veilguard has been in development for around 9 years, so thats about 12 “years of testing per year”, so pretty much at least 12 people doing nothing else but testing (this assumes sane working conditions - hi EA!)

Given how long the game has been in development, what does that number even mean? How much of the stuff they wrote 9 years ago is still in place, given that players would expect the technological advancements available since 2015.

Also, it’s supposed to be released end of October, I believe? Or has it been postponed even further (again)? Anyway, why would they claim something like that before release? That will probably backfire.

Actually, when someone dies, they get propped up in the constant funeral home that can be seen starting at picture 47 or 48, and only then can the ritual begin.

So it’s only available in the business plan, and at additional cost? Meh.

Yeah, pick any random video and you can already tell the gameplay won’t be great. For the warrior, it’s mostly spamming, the priestess has some AoE magic that basically is all identical but dressed up differently.

Good on the guy to wrap his project up, but other than that… meh.

lspci will read the vendor and device id via PCI and use that to determine what the device is. You might want to make the output a bit more digestable / useful via lspci -s 03:00.0 -k -nn, but I’d assume the ids that match an 2070 will show up.

Could you please take the card out and provide us with a few pictures from different angles, maybe getting a good look at the actual chips?

I’d like to rule that out before chasing rabbits here.

Also, you could always run nvidia-settings, which will show information about an NVIDIA card using a different access method.

I’d still like to see the pictures of the card though ;)

Great project, I like that you went all in and installed the solar panels - there is a nonzero chance I would have tested it with only a battery first, therefore creating a suboptimal solution that would have stayed around far too long, endlessly bugging me in the process.

Just one remark: the mailbox is so nice, you should definitely route a channel in the treated pine to hide / protect the blue cable better, that’d make it perfect.

I suggest you read the Wikipedia article about it, Sierra really went all out on Phantasmagoria. It was budgeted at 800k, but eventually cost $4.5 million, with the custom built studio solely dedicated to filming it weighing in at $1.5 million - thats quite something, considering we’re talking 90s money here. Again, dev costs for AAA titles today are a completely different beast, but as you said, video games have come a long way since then.

I watched a (much longer) complete walkthrough sometime last year when I was down with the flu or whatever and I have to say, re-watching it is a bit more fun than re-playing it, the pacing was quite a bit off.

Roberta Williams is a good enough writer when it comes to early adventure games (I do love King’s Quest), but this was her first horror project, her script was maybe overly long and the project too ambitious in places, and yeah, the complexity of plot lines probably have grown along with the expectations and the maturity of the audience.

It’s still a great project and a major milestone as far as FMV games are concerned, a genre I somewhat miss overall. The mixture of animation and real footage using 90s technology has just the right amount of schlock/cheesiness to be highly entertaining.

Slight nitpick: Brymen handheld meters often have better specs in the handheld market, in particular when you are looking at a fixed price point.

You see a lot of Fluke meters around due to service agreement, as well as government and military contracts.

Don’t get me wrong, meters are fine, but there is no reason to spend that kinda money at home, unless the service manual of your washing machine explicitly states all measurements are to be done by a Fluke meter.

They do make managed switches, but just to be completely clear, my comment was mostly hyperbole. I just found the general combination of security - mindedness and cheap Chinese hardware curious / amusing.

I was wondering… that tp-link probably negates anything remotely resembling security on its own. But yeah, you can update some of these noname boxes easily, others, not so much.

I have dealt with (in a professional capacity) Chinese manufacturers that are under the impression they do not have to provide a working build tree for the kernel, let alone firmware, so its a gamble if you’re not talking to a major Chinese name brand. Mind you, I was ordering hundreds of those boxes, so there was some leverage.

I can second that. We had some really good experiences with ClickHouse and its performance. If it fits the bill, it’s a very nice piece of software.
