Check out all the variations jammed into this tune! Netherton went on to win the fiddle championship in Winfield the next year in 2016.

pr06lefs , to Technology in We Need to Talk About the State of Calendar Software on Desktop

The author seems dead set on a tauri calendar implementation. I came across what is apparently a scheduling toolkit in rust:

https://github.com/fmeringdal/nettu-scheduler

Which I guess could be used to build a desktop calendar app. One flaw in the ointment is that a calendar program really needs email integration. Downloading an ICS file and manually transferring that over to your calendar app isn't going to cut it.

Which brings us to the lack of solid calendar servers. I've searched but I haven't found anything popular, OSS, easy to install, and useful for groups. Radicale exists but multi user support is a janky hack, while Nextcloud has unreliable sync. I'm looking for features like:

  • reliable calendar sync
  • sharable calendars.
  • scheduling help - when to have a meeting?
  • how many attendees for a group event, how many invited etc.

nope

pr06lefs , to Technology in How to make an EV tire that won’t pollute the environment

Hot take: tire particulates are a conservative anti-EV talking point. "My V8 mustang weighs less than an EV, therefore its better on pollution than a EV because tire particulates". Totally disregarding the impact of tailpipe emissions.

aw, he may be a genocide loving nazi, but at least its from the heart. won't someone give him some money?

pr06lefs , (edited ) to Technology in Introducing a new RISC-V Mainboard from DeepComputing | Frame.work

IMO this device is more of a prototype for working out issues with risc-v in a framework chassis. Not really for doing practical work at this point. Could mean that framework expects a powerful risc-v chip in the next few years, and wants to lay the groundwork for that now.

pr06lefs , to Technology in Introducing a new RISC-V Mainboard from DeepComputing | Frame.work

Seems to me mainly of interest to devs who want to prep for a future generation of risc-v chips.

pr06lefs , to Movies in Well, it's officially over. Tom Hardy says George Miller’s "MAD MAX: FURY ROAD" prequel "THE WASTELAND" is no longer happening.

yeah mad max might be more appropriate for a video game, with its emphasis on action and minimalist plot.

If they want to go that way, maybe a TV series, with bigger character development arcs and worldbuilding.

pr06lefs , to Free and Open Source Software in Purism (creator of FOSS friendly phones and hardware) 2023 financial report , income grew by 350% in three years and the company is profitable

pricing is in line with the top ipad. I consider it kind of an activist move to buy one of these though, more about supporting a cause than getting a device with maximal functionality.

pr06lefs , to Science Fiction in No spoilers please, but does Old Man’s War get better?

It is military sci-fi. I liked the series, but then I liked it from the beginning and didn't need to push through any of it. Sounds like maybe the subject matter isn't really your bag, that's ok.

And the word grok comes from stranger in a strange land, not hitchhikers guide.

Yes they literally pull in particles from the bathroom air and blow them directly on your hands.

pr06lefs , to Linux in Stable, consistent workstation recommendations?

nixos is great - as long as the software you need is in nixpkgs, and it usually is. reinstallation is almost never necessary. You can switch your system to the unstable channel, and if you get tired of that, back to stable again, no problem. Experiment with software and remove it without a trace left in your system. If you mess up your config, you can roll back to the previous config in the bootup menu. Your system config is in a text file which you can put into source control if you wish, which allows you to replicate your config onto another machine, or revert to what you had 6 months ago, etc.
