Daunk··on Fusion – A hobby OS implemented in Nim
Maybe it's just because I'm getting older, but I struggle to read Nim when I'm forced to use two spaces for indentation. I can barely make out each block of code, and I don't like to rely on my IDE to make a language readable.
Daunk··on Report shows that AAA games for iPhone and iPad aren't a hit with users
I have one of those attachments for my Xbox controller where I strap my phone in. The last two games I've finished has been from my bed, using the Steam Link app, and it's been great.
Daunk··on Cloudflare adds option to block AI scrapers and crawlers
Didn't they add this last year?
Daunk··on Ask HN: YouTube shutdown my account with private channel of my kids memories
I wish! It's me as a child running around in a t-shirt, waiting for Santa. Apparently that's not allowed.
Daunk··on Ask HN: YouTube shutdown my account with private channel of my kids memories
Thanks for the tip! I hope this works, as YouTube banned all my private christmas videos from the 80s.
Daunk··on Qimgv – Fast, simple image viewer
Okay so I've tried it and it seems fine, real simple. But it dies when I load large video files (tried with 6GB videos). And it's also not able to follow the order of images that is presented in something like the Windows file explorer. For example, in my Downloads folder, the files are sorted by when I downloaded them, with other folders being sorted A to Z, but Qimvg only has a set order it follows, no matter my folder option. Sadly a pass for me.
Daunk··on Show HN: Kyoo – Self-hosted media browser (Jellyfin/Plex alternative)
My issue, going from Plex to anything else, is that it would render things like my AppleTV useless.
Daunk··on Bug hunting in Btrfs
I'm not sure that's correct. When you install openSUSE (this was a clean install) there's a checkbox that asks if you want snapshots, which I did not enable. But either way, a fresh openSUSE install with XFCE on Btrfs rendering the computer unusable for, at least, 2 days is not okay in my book, even if snapshots were enabled.
Daunk··on Bug hunting in Btrfs
Workload was literally zero, I just logged into XFCE and could barely do anything for 2 days straight. No quotas and no compression, but it was indeed openSUSE!
Daunk··on Bug hunting in Btrfs
I recently tried (for the first time) Btrfs on my low-end laptop (no snapshots), and I was surprised to see that the laptop ran even worse than it usually does! Turns out there was something like a "btrfs-cleaner" (or similar) running in the background, eating up almost all the CPU at all time. After about 2 days I jumped over to ext4 and everything ran just fine.
Daunk··on America's affordable house of the future failed
The expectations are lower outside of Scandinavia.
Daunk··on The KDE desktop gets an overhaul with Plasma 6
Perhaps one day I'll use Plasma, or one of their KDE apps, without having a serious crash or other issues after 5 minutes.
Daunk··on CorsixTH: Open-source clone of Theme Hospital
I would have played if it had been multiplayer.
Daunk··on CorsixTH: Open-source clone of Theme Hospital
I've had my eye on this for over 10 years, and I'm still just waiting for Multiplayer.
Daunk··on Laughing Off the Dark Mode Lobby
I used those green-on-black terminals for a while before getting my hands on Windows 3.11, and I remember it being very bright the first time I tried it. I quickly got used to the brighter themes, and I felt more "awake" and able to focus more. Over time though, I've reverted back to using mostly darker themes, but only for my personal computer. At work it's all fully light themes.
Daunk··on There's a Reason McDonald's Coke Tastes Better Than All Others
Is this an American thing? The McDonald's Coke is terrible where I live, and sometimes I'd rather just get water.
Daunk··on Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologizes to families of children harmed online
America is like a clown shown.
Daunk··on OpenSUSE Leap 15.6 to Be the Last in Its Current Form
I'm all for this change! I think the immutable OS is the way to go for most people. And I've been using Tumbleweed for a long time and I'm excited for Slowroll to get... "rolling", so that I can jump over to that. One thing that confuses me though is how Leap now sounds like another Aeon or Kalpa version, so why does it need to exist?
Daunk··on Super Mario 64 on the Web
Sound seems to be an issue, as it works maybe 25% of the times I've tested this.
Daunk··on FreeBasic
Check out blitzmax.org and what NG offers.
Daunk··on FreeBasic
I still use BlitzMax NG - blitzmax.org
Daunk··on Cybertruck Launch
Cars kept solely for convenience should be eliminated.
Daunk··on Cats that fetch are an evolutionary mystery
I've hade many many cats, and I have yet to have a cat that DOES NOT fetch.
Daunk··on Fedora Workstation 39
Fedora is great and my second favorite distro, with OpenSUSE being my favorite one.
Daunk··on One sleepless night can rapidly reverse depression for several days in mice
Huh, so maybe that's why I felt like my depression was better in my younger years, cause I slept less?
Daunk··on Cities Skylines 2 runs with 20fps on an Nvidia RTX4090
Unity. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Daunk··on Heated yoga may reduce depression in adults
Hmm maybe, cause working out sure didn't work AT ALL for me, if anything it made things worse "another hope fades away".
Daunk··on Mullvad Browser
It's not a scam.
Daunk··on The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus
I wasn't until I read that the sasquatch was its natural predator that I started to question things...
Daunk··on Is there a wider internet outage today?
I guess it was a bad day to try out my new internet provider...
