Amazing dumpster find! How long did it take you to fix?

Once I’m not broke I’ll get back on how it is… No clue if you have any idea on buying used coffee or espresso machines, but I saw one for $300 online. The discount makes me wonder if something is wrong with the machine lol

Well now I want to contribute to this community!

Is the 600 dollar Breville model any good to buy for a first espresso machine? Coffee is my greatest vice and I’d love a machine that can froth milk, make strong cups of coffee, and have the portafilter slot.

I can make a separate post to populate more on the community.

I love DJ Ware after your recommendation! HPCs running RISC-V would be quite interesting…

Exactly what I asked in a previous comment! This looks awesome, but what about Pine64’s hardware?

Maybe if we got a Matrix chat going for this server that the dust could be brushed off… Perhaps it’s time :D

Especially with all the hoot around LoRA ML models and AI training methods that don’t require a nuclear reactor and loads of proprietary offloading servers. Maybe we could get a Matrix chat going for those interested in things like kernel development, and work on some educational projects?

The Pinetab-V and Star64 look interesting for a tablet and SBC on the RISC-V architecture… What Linux distribution would one have for options on that processor architecture? Debian sounds appealing there…

Thanks for the code example. I tried going through web3 awhile back with HTML, but need to go through at least 60% more of the course and examples they provided on the website.

I’m a bit confused on what a server is, past “someone else’s computer” or “another computer” or “a machine elsewhere that is able to take and receive requests”. When you write a “GET” request, is this pulling from another file on your machine locally, but still using the HTML framework and WASM to have “Piece of code 1” talk to “Piece of code 2”? And this all happens locally on the same machine you’re using?

Currently I’m using the Kate IDE editor since Neovim made me hurl my lunch. Spyder was what I used for Python, but it can’t be used with more than one language unfortunately. I’d assume programs with functions provided by Electron are able to cache what they retrieve… Is the “server” downloaded alongside the application, therefore not requiring WiFi connection to use the application?

Hope my questions aren’t too out in left-field and thanks again for your response!

Definitely will, I appreciate the support :) I’ll hop onto the Rust form after I’ve read the book with some questions.

That looks like a helpful guide to go through as well. I’m not too familiar with compiling/building/making (only the general notions)… In the past, I’ve abandoned programming projects because I got bogged down in the semantics of the documentation.

Should I stick to drawing high-level flowcharts pursuing a “make this” Occam’s Razor type philosophy and just condition myself to abandon unnecessary pedantic details? Just trying to make sure I follow through with my programming project this time instead of getting overwhelmed!

I’ve had murmurs of Rust throughout my time here… I’ll give it a try and attempt to make a barebones application with buttons.

Once I’ve either failed catastrophically or have created something to be reviewed, I’ll report back.

Thanks!

That’s a very poetic way of looking at the way our data on these forms will be processed and ingested by LLMs in the coming years. I have been considering cloning my own voice and experimenting with the multitude of use cases that can provide.

All the developed literature as well as entirely documented human lives… Readily available with numerical recipes for their processing and integration into whatever societal infrastructure comes out of where we’re headed right now.

It was strange for me to come to terms with that. The crowd that Lemmy fosters is such a different subset than the general population. Sometimes I wonder what growing up online will do to people down the line from us.

It’s heart rending to hear what you’re going through, OP. I’m sure your family will sincerely cherish what you write. I also agree with others who have mentioned to add stipulations on how you want your thoughts to be used. Not to speak for you, but I wouldn’t want my likelihood desecrated in some manufactured effigy long after my death.

Not to say I didn’t spend a fair chunk of my own life online, but with the advancements in materials and manufacturing methods, I wonder what storage devices and technologies will become sarcophagi for our archived lives…

Wishing you wonders in your last moments, OP.

These are absolutely gorgeous… If I had learned with these illustrations, I’d probably have retained some of the more esoteric commands! I’d love to see more of your ideas brought to fruition with these image generator inferences.

Send me a DM!

This. I think the only one I really thought was good was the Aaron Paul one where they went into space… I might be someone neo-ludditish but that movie shows some true terrors of those who want to eradicate technologies and the individuals associated with them. Cold ending…

I’m not too familiar with the ITS, but hearing the monumental work done during the 1960s and 70s surrounding operating systems is something I can’t fathom.

He really stands for so much in the philosophy surrounding FOSS… Ironically, if it weren’t for the Ted Talk on YouTube that I watched from him a year ago, I wouldn’t have known about his existence.

Hope he recovers, it’s different to see him without his signature long hair and beard :(

Never have heard of Poetry, but I’ll check it out tonight! I pretty much exclusively coded in Python and Julia up until I got out of uni. I learned after a couple of months of insanity swapping kernels, init systems, distributions and learning everything about file systems only leads to further insanity and productivity hindrance.

Something something recommending someone who doesn’t know what a shell is to use emacs and make a Lua/Neovim config. Thanks for the tip!

Memes like this make me ever more confused about my own software work flow. I’m in engineering so you can already guess my coding classes were pretty surface level at least at my uni and CC

Conda is what I like to use for data science but I still barely understand how to maintain a package manager. Im lowkey a bot when it comes to using non-GUI programs and tbh that paradigm shift has been hard after 18 years of no CLI usage.

The memes are pretty educational though

Oh wow that sounds like an interesting engineering problem to make a reusable coffee filter… I am quite broke myself and my ears always perk up at ways to reduce my already small caffeine budget.

How does it taste out of the metal mesh filter? I like to make mine in an Aeropress and heat it up in an old kettle that’s been in my family for ages.

I want to get better at using TUIs and all the lot of lighter-weight software, but I’ve quite frankly been too stupid to learn it.

I downloaded Gentoo onto an old Chromebook with the Mr Chromebox script. Currently am trying to make it into a sandbox for me to learn more about how init systems, compilers, and other lower level OS details.

Other than reading the Wikis, are there any projects that you’d suggest to increase one’s ability in those realms? Thanks!
