What happened in Nov 2023?

OSX and Windows move in opposite directions at the same time? Seems a little weird.

I just had an idea that people smarter than me have probably had long before I heard of Lemmy.....but I don't see it implemented, so I'm sharing it anyways!!!

Ok, so one of the bigger problems I see on Lemmy is the fact that I subscribe to dozens of different communities, but my feed is always the same. News news news technology technology technology....

It's the most wanted feature.

Code is the most in depth spec one can provide. Maybe someday we'll be able to iterate just by verbally communicating and saying "no like this", but it doesn't seem like we're quite there yet. But also, will that be productive?

Sure you can. As others have said, a list comprehension returns a new list. See the documentation.

What are you trying to do though? Append a list comprehension to an existing list?

See a modified version of @eager_eagle's code from their comment.

def double(x):
  return 2 * x
a = list(range(10))
a.extend(double(value) for value in range(5))

# a has 15 elements
print(a)

Am I the only one preferring low quality media over high quality one?

I have a very slow Internet connection (5 Mbps down, and even less for upload). Given that, I always download movies at 720p, since they have low file size, which means I can download them more quickly. Also, I don't notice much of a difference between 1080p and 720p. As for 4K, because I don't have a screen that can display 4K,...

onlinepersona ,

Nope. Most of my stuff is 720p because I won't be watching it again. My library has significantly dwindled in size. Only my absolute favorites are stored in high quality. Everything else is SD and quite a bit has been deleted.

Let's be honest, most stuff is shit and forgettable / not watching again. They are just remakes of readaptations of sequels. You know that by the time you want to watch it again, there will be a remake just as bad.

The problem with Mac hardware is that it's ARM and vertically integrated with everything Apple. Not all hardware is supported by Linux because Apple won't write any linux drivers and everything is reverse engineered. You're better off buying something non-Apple which linux properly supports.

If power consumption is an issue for you get, a R9 7950X consumes as much and at times less power than an M1/M2 (I think even M3). Check out GamerNexus's charts. IINM AMD in W/Ghz performs better than Intel across the board.

No idea where you are, but you can get a small factor PC from one of the vendors that preload linux, or configure a small form factor PC of your liking for cheap and put linux on it. You'll get more out of your money for the same or better performance with about the same energy consumption (or a bit more).
Somebody I know who happens to live in Hungary got himself this cheap beauty. They deliver all over Europe, but if you live elsewhere on this planet, there probably is something similar like this out there.

Anti Commercial-AI license

That may be, but buying a Mac Mini is like buying a device made from the ground up for Windows, where any other operating system has to reverse engineer 100% of the things to work well, or you have to emulate another OS on it (which comes with its own pitfalls), and it's 200+€ more expensive than its nearest equivalent.

Every single company I've worked at which introduced Apple Silicon to its developers has had headaches with compatibility. The worst I've seen was it taking a developer a month to get up and running because the specific component we used didn't have a build for the specific ARM architecture. Multipass, UTM, podman, docker desktop, all didn't work until colima and forcing the VM to emulate x86 + forcing docker in the VM to use the x86 image worked. There was a persistent problem with disk IO since it used 9p or whatever. Installing dependencies from scratch meant waiting 30 minutes on the M2.

Why pay a premium for less compatibility and worse specs? Just get yourself something that works, which is cheaper, maybe even supports a company that invests in Linux and its ecosystem, and be able to ask an existing developer community instead of asking the subsection of linux users that run your specific app on however you're running linux on Appe hardware.

Anti Commercial-AI license

onlinepersona ,

That's great if it's your experience.

I'm just saying me and others have consistently had different experiences, and OP can get a better experience at half the price, with the same (or better) energy consumption, all while supporting the Linux ecosystem directly.

That's cool and all, but how will they make money?

Anti Commercial-AI license

I honestly thought C++ (aka dumping ground of programming concepts) would implement this for "completeness".

Anti Commercial-AI license

onlinepersona ,

I am I'm favor of an "open" source license minus profiting off of your forks, which I understand makes the resulting license not open source. In a capitalist system, the capitalist class will take every opportunity to parasitically take where ever possible. Nothing free in a capitalist system, including living. Free development comes at a cost, even iif made purely out of passion.

💯

I don't get why people still believe they have to gatekeep the open source definition or how to prevent capitalists from exploiting free labour.

Life and circumstances aren't static. They are constantly evolving. Just because capitalists treated open source as a threat, back when it was created, doesn't mean they didn't learn how to exploit it and those who work on it. They do now and it's only natural to evolve and try to find a way to protect from such exploitation.

To stand still and point fingers at others trying to move forward is conservative, the exact opposite of progress.

It's still Google, which is basically just another EvilCorp Inc. Probably donating more directly to the creator would give them more money than going through Google.

There is no "middle ground". The solution is to talk about sex. Early and when it's prompted aka when children start asking questions.

Stop treating sex as if it's something holy, special, taboo, and assigning a bunch of value to it. Trying to shield children from it is precisely the wrong thing to do. It's exactly the same with this fairy tale bullshit about relationships, marriage, and kids. Media makes it seem like the epitome of existence, that there's nothing greater than finding that one special person, and that there's only one special person forever and ever, and that it has to be of the opposite sex in order to procreate.

The more you hype something up, and that includes trying to hide it, the more it tantalizes people.

Again, answer questions honestly and truthfully that pertain to sex, attraction, relationships, and so on. Teach how to tell the real from the fake. Normalize knowledge and understanding of intimacy. It'll make for much healthier children and even healthier adults.

Education is the silver bullet.

Anti Commercial-AI license

Now, if only human brains were able to more accurately tell apart fake from real news, we'd have much less of a problem. I bet it has to do with training though. Once we get used to having deepfake voices talk to us as often as normal human voices, we probably won't be able to tell them apart - just like like with fake news. People trained to consider fake news normal will have much more difficulty telling it apart from genuine news.

After you install I2P you can download torrents with the built in I2PSnark or connect it to Qtorrent. Qtorrent now has I2P support.

Here's a video on how to use I2PSnark.

You can find torrents on http://tracker2.postman.i2p . You need to configure your browser to do.

Anti Commercial-AI license

onlinepersona ,

I doubt it. I2P is like TOR, but more optimised for P2P and has less users, so it's much slower (100-200KB/s on established connctions). But if the number of users grows, it may become much faster.

Anti Commercial-AI license

onlinepersona ,

The total speed of my torrents has been 200KB/s, once even got 300KB/s. Honestly, that's not a problem for me; I'm not hooked and don't need an instant fix.

It's also logical that I2P can't access the clearnet. That's not the purpose of I2P. Theoretically there can be inproxies and outproxies, but AFAIK very few people operate them. Having an outproxy is like operating a TOR exit node.

Speed is side-effect of anonymity. The more people you route a request through, the slower it gets. It's at least as slow as the slowest link. A VPN is one single, high speed link, but it doesn't grant you anonymity (if the VPN provider collects logs). IINM you need at least 2 hops to be anonymous. A - B - C, B doesn't know if A is the source or just forwarding a request nor if C is the final destination or just another hop.

The info hash shouldn't change as per spec.

info_hash

The 20 byte sha1 hash of the bencoded form of the info value from the metainfo file. This value will almost certainly have to be escaped.

The info value is a separate key of a torrent file

metainfo files

Metainfo files (also known as .torrent files) are bencoded dictionaries with the following keys:

announce
The URL of the tracker.
info
This maps to a dictionary, with keys described below.

The info dictionary does not include the list of trackers, therefore the infohash shouldn't change.

The most likely reason your torrent stalls when running in I2P mode is probably that it doesn't exist on the tracker.

I dunno how old you are, but I come from the time of internet where loading pictures happen line by line. It took me a decade or more to get my library.

I'm patient. I don't need my stuff to be there immediately. Maybe that's the minority, I dunno, but a little bit of anonymity and patience ain't hurt nobody.

Anti Commercial-AI license

That's cool. It's your choice. I'm cheap and patient, so it's all good.
