    Guessing this is the one https://www.hbo.com/movies/money-electric-the-bitcoin-mystery
    It hasn't released yet it seems, october 8. Though HBO does not seem to claim any of the above, I smell another flop.

    This happens to me often whenever nvidia (dkms) rebuilds and the module compilation fails (for whatever reason).

    Usually I drop into tty ctrl+alt+f2 as root, run dkms autoinstall (or just yay -S <your nvidia package> should trigger dkms rebuild if needed) and then rebuild initramfs ( mkinitcpio -P), reboot.

    Anything without vocals so that it doesn't force me to actually think about it, just vibe.

    Lately Chikoi The Maid (maidcore rock) or Gnome (the Father Of Time album, just-riffs-rock?) to some dnb/techno stuff, depends on the mood and how hard I need to focus - faster is better then.

  • PlayStation 1 emulator DuckStation changes license for no commercial use and no derivatives

    ... certain parties violating the old license, by not attributing and stripping my copyright. Packagers being collateral damage was a beneficial side-effect, considering they don't clearly mark their versions as modified (also a GPL requirement), break functionality, and expect upstream to provide support.

    Emphasis mine, snipped from the authors comment

    As a maintainer of few AUR packages this is always so hurtful.
    Where does this position come from? Packaging is the avenue that people using any linux distro use to get your software. This also my first time hearing that packages (re)building GPL code have to mark the packages as modified in some way. I can understand that being a valid concern (if it is one) but that's a problem that can be rather easily fixed without throwing all of the maintainers overboard (?).

    I can see there being bad maintainers that will come shouting to upstream with every little thing that does not work on their platform, but man that's just insincere towards maintainers that will dive, analyze and help where they can to make it work.
    For every one maintainer coming to your github issues with their problems there is probably shitton of patches and time spent on making your program work with the given distro.

  • taaz taaz Now 100%

    Instead of giving access to Crystal Mines, Gas Extraction Wells, and Mote Harvesting Traps they now increase the number of mining districts available on the planet and, after researching the technology to extract the relevant resource, add a small amount of resource production to miners on that planet.

    Oh finally, managing where and if you had the special resources was uselessly tedious.

  • Is there any easy way to install a Linux distribution directly to a USB drive?
  • taaz taaz Now 100%

    So the lower-ish difficulty answer would be to run the iso installer in a VM with the usb stick forwarded to that VM.

    Or you can learn what those fancy installers do: on debian you would use debootstrap

    Here seems the whole guide on how to install debian manually with it:
    https://gist.github.com/tr3buchet/6407920

    Btw, this is also basically how you install Arch. As of until recently there wasn't any installer and you had to go through each step manually (create partitions and fs, install the base system with <insert distro specific tool>, chroot, update fstab, distro specific finishing touches, voilà)

  • Help a noob with jellyfin on Ubuntu server
  • taaz taaz Now 100%

    How did you install jellyfin?

    It should not core-dump (read: hard crash, something has gone terribly wrong), at best you should get a configuration error and errors like that.

    You can see the logs of any systemd service/unit with this: journalctl -u <name of sevice> so in this case journalctl -u jellyfin (Tip: add -f to follow the output of a running service - useful for monitoring).

    Note that some programs log to their own files (and not to stdout) so if the above command comes out empty you should look into /var/log/ directory.

    Small disclaimer this is from the txt log which is not exactly complete, there are few pixels missing here and there. One second of the video is about 30 minutes of drawing (one frame contains 1 minute of drawing, 30 frames per second) Also a little bit of bragging - couldn't resist the challenge and got this all glued together in Python! Which is obviously a valid tool for this considering the rich data processing ecosystem. Well maybe except the video generation part... definitely except the video generation - Pyav - bindings for ffmpeg, are really badly documented, luckily they have at least good enough examples. The *short* story of how: - little bit of python script to convert the txt log into csv - from csv to pandas, there I made a few cleaning passes to get the "format" just right (mainly dealing with the `mod_fill` action) - pyav, ffmpeg and the world of video - oh boy: - for each one minute of drawing data - replay them over the canvas (numpy RGB array) - embed/copy the canvas into the video frame (another ndarray) - (add the timestamp above the canvas - cv2) - invoke pyav magic to *mux*/append it into the video - hope that your numpy array slices, splices, "broadcasts", pyav codec options and stream configurations are correct. Otherwise, watch as you end up with 1GB+ of mp4 file - 3 hours to watch whole (1s/30fps) with really bad resolution or inverted/wrong colors:) If anyone wants to tweak this or has ideas how to make this better just hit me up. Can also put the code somewhere if wanted. What a wild ride ha!

    So, finished RoW, I did not read the halfs (yet?) Edgedencer & Dawnshard - instead I cheated a bit and looked up the summary for these (Dawnshard mainly) as I was too hungry for more "spice" of the SA story so I wanted to continue with next SA book straight away. I did read all of the current Mistborn series we have before SA though about a year or something ago ::: spoiler So I do have some notion about the... shards, investiture and stuff but... I am still confused how the Cosmere magic works in general - I know that magic (Investiture) is different for each planet/system of the Cosmere and guessing it has something to do with the specific shards of that system... ? ::: ⠀⠀ Well, if anyone wants to chime in with pointers I would be very thankful! Meanwhile I will be scouring the wiki and WoBs to get a better picture.
