New year! Let us make this chapter better written than the last one. Having a pretty good week, still working a bit but had some really good time with family and friends lately. Upswing here I come! Have to focus on how far I’ve traveled up the mountain, now how much more I still have to go.

Sometimes I write things about technology.
If I told you the SHA256 for this sentence starts with 'c, 5, four, a, and a', would you believe me?

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Has anyone else switched to a dumbphone?English
2·19 days agoI did. I have an s22 flip. Not fully “dumb”, it runs android mobile. But so lacking on resources it is basically a dumb phone, with Spotify and maps. Fits my use case fine and much less distractions and constant gamifiyijng. I Miss NFC payments the most and my banking app won’t even run on it, but it does the job of being a communications device just fine.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What are some of your most useful or favorite terminal commands?English
1·23 days agoA couple I use (concept of not exact), that I haven’t seen in the thread yet:
Using grep as diff:
grep -Fxnvf orig.file copy.fileUsing
xargs-xargs reads items from the standard input, delimited by blanks (which can be protected with double or single quotes or a backslash) or newlines, and executes the command (default is /bin/echo) one or more times with any initial-arguments followed by items read from standard input.
EG:
$ find ~/Pictures -name "*.png" -type f -print0 | xargs -0 tar -cvzf images.tar.gz

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Nanogram: Private Small Scale Self Hosted Social MediaEnglish
8·24 days agoThis is fun side project I made for myself.
Contradicts:
Spin up your own instance on termux for Android.
It’s great if its for yourself, or learning something new to you. Releasing it like this and telling others to install software you didn’t even write is a security nightmare and disingenuous. Nowhere in your readme or any other repo files, does it specify that YOU don’t code, and this product is all due to AI and LLMs.
Except, it was little Bobby tables.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What folders do you make in addition to the default ones ?English
2·1 month agoConventions I have are:
- Downloads folder is ephemeral, don’t store/keep things in there I might want
- ~/scripts - personal scripts and one offs
- ~/Documents/projects/[subdir] - any tech project I may be working on, gets homed here
- /tmp - always mount it
noexec
I also start off allocating ~ 50GB to
/(root) volumegroup. Wine and proton have been taking up nearly the full space though, may need to expand it on my desktop soon.

Music@beehaw.org•How does the Beehaw community consume music?English
3·1 month agoI’m a sell out that uses Spotify for modern and new music. I still have vinyls and a Garrand SL 95B for listening on. But I don’t buy many new vinyls lately, so it’s just the older music for that.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Gun nuts of the fediverse. Do any guns use two magazines at once?English
7·1 month agoIt’s not really worth it. A lot more complexity for the trigger and firing mechanisms, barrel alignment; etc. Weight is also a concern with any carry weapon. There were a couple of weapons in history that tried a dual mag setup
MP40I
The Burton
AF2011 (More double barrel but does fire simultaneously)There’s also the DIY jungle style
coupled magazines, refers to detachable box magazines, and thereof, that are fixed together side by side, for example, with tape, or purpose made magazine clamps, also called magazine couplers. The spare magazine may be pointing downwards in relation to the one fitted to the weapon, as to keep the feeding lips clear for insertion into the weapon.
In general these days, belt fed weapons are used for more capacity where needed.
