EDIT: oh wait, you configured them both with the same static ip address. Can you use a tool like iftop to check that both interfaces are actually being used? You can also use tcpdump -i interfacename or similar tools.

It's very possible that this setup doesn't break, but isn't true bonding, where both connections can be used at once for more bandwidth. Although, maybe this is an easy, reliable way to get a failover type system, where when the ethernet is disconnected it automatically uses the wifi. Or maybe it's been using only the wifi this whole time.

When on God's green earth would someone want to delete the partition table and not immediately create a new partition?

Btrfs can occupy an entire data storage device, replacing the MBR or GPT partitioning schemes,

I really like this take on it: https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/user/actions/github-actions/#familiarity-instead-of-compatibility

For all of these reasons, Forgejo Actions strives for familiarity instead of compatibility. We want users of GitHub actions to feel familiar using Forgejo Actions, even if there are some small changes here and there. Workflows should work with some minimal changes.

I think the same thing applies to Linux DE's. Linux is not and never will be a 1 for 1 to windows workflows. If we chase perfect compatibility, we will be perpetually behind on a wild goose chase.

But, doing things like what KDE does, where most of the common keyboard shortcuts are the same, and things like virtual desktops allow for similar workflows with very little adaptation, is very reasonable.

The chess com engine analysis sucks. It's too focused on glazing you and not enough on being honest. It certainly feels better than the lichess engine, but it doesn't actually share more information.

For example, it used to be that a "brilliant move" was any move that you spotted but that the engine didn't. But now, it's been changed so that any sacrifice is a "brilliant move".

Further, the LLM based analysis is also pretty bad. It only seems to explain moves, but like most LLM's, it actually hallucinates and recommends nonsensical stuff, or incorrectly makes other claims about the position. If you search on r/chess you can find plenty of examples of this:

• https://www.reddit.com/r/Chesscom/comments/1p7n8js/can_something_new_explain_why_chesscom_ai_thinks/
• https://www.reddit.com/r/chessbeginners/comments/1ko6snm/is_chesscom_ai_useless/
• https://www.reddit.com/r/Chesscom/comments/1o2j3rg/is_the_ai_text_in_the_game_analysis_just_plainly/

etc etc.

As an alternative, if you really want that type of UI, you can also use Lichess' server based engine analysis (you get 40 free per day unlike chess com's paid stuff):

But it doesn't tell you why a move is bad. If you really want to learn why a move is bad, the local analysis lets you play your moves against stockfish and experiment and see why they are lacking.

Just learn to use the Lichess local analysis. It's designed to actually facilitate improvement instead of glazing users and getting them to keep paying.

Switch to lichess.org (open source, has all of chess com's paid features available for free, plus no ads or trackers).

Start with the chess basics set: https://lichess.org/learn

Then the basic tactics set: https://lichess.org/practice

And then do puzzles: https://lichess.org/training (chess com makes you pay for more than a few per day). Do a lot of them.

Then, you can also analyze your games on lichess using it's analysis engines (which chess com makes you pay for). Uh I can't find a good guide how to do this right now, check back later.

Unfortunately, the browser extension is proprietary. They used to have an open source one but they stopped maintaining it.

Proprietary was a dealbreaker for me. There is no way to verify that it isn't selling everything I type even if I do have it configured to point at a local server.

I'm also concerned that the extension may eventually no longer work against local servers as well.

As an alternative, there is harper by wordpress: https://github.com/Automattic/harper

It is webassembly and runs entirely in your browser.

EDIT:

I will add that the rest of the languagetool ecosystem continues to work fine. Libreoffice now has a built in client, which you can point at your own hosted server. VSCode [1] also has their own languagetool extension. I use those and those work great. But in the browser I use ~~harper~~ nothing. I should probably install harper.

[1] Well, technically I use [code-oss]https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Visual_Studio_Code), which gets the extension from https://open-vsx.org/

https://www.riotgames.com/en/news/vanguard-security-update-motherboard

I am so deeply annoyed that

1. Vanguard demands this level of control over user systems

2. Vanguard seems to be the only entity handling a threat vector most people simply ignore. I suspect not even crowdstrike and the like could handle malicious pci devices. Well, vanguard can't either, it's just a cat and mouse game. But they are definitely trying in an area where most seem to have given up, but it's absurd that it's a fucking game anticheat that's doing this.

Docker compose's don't really need to be maintained though. As long as the app doesn't need new components old docker composes should work.

EDIT: Oops, it does look like spacebarchat's docker images have last been updated over 2 years ago:

https://hub.docker.com/r/spacebarchat/server

EDIT2: Although this is outdated, I think their github repo has an action to autobuild docker images on pushes. Still investigating.

EDIT3: Okay, they don't seem to be actually ran.

But using nix to build a docker image is pretty cool.

EDIT4: Oh shit, the docker image build workflows were added just 2 hours ago. Of course they haven't been ran!

Docker support soon, probably.

EDIT5: the workflow ran, but it looks like it's private for now.

There are many, I think. Like what other people have mentioned, sometimes the new standard is just better on all metrics.

Another common example is when someone creates something as a passion project, rather than expecting it to get used widely. It's especially frustrating for me when I see people denigrate projects like those, criticizing it for a lack of practicality...

This is a trailer for NBA 2k20, that shows more gambling content than actual gameplay.

The top comment is:

Hey 2k, theres a basketball minigame in your gambling simulator, can you fix it please?…

Termux recently got moved off of the play store (kinda), and is now only available on f-droid/github, because Google was further locking down what they allowed on their store.

And in addition to that, they recently added a restriction in later versions of Android: "Child process limit". Although this limit used to not there, when enabled, it prevents users from truly running arbitrary linux programs, like via termux.

Although the child process limit can still be disabled in developer options, it doesn't bode well for how flexible base android in the future will be, since many times corpos like Google move stuff into the "secret" options before eventually removing that dial all together.

TLDR: Termux has been, and is a thing... for now.

Also, I want to shout out winlator. It uses a linux proot, similator to termux, and has box64 and wine inside that proot that people can use to play games. I tested with Gungeon, and it even has controller support and performance, which is really impressive.

where does diagonal fall?
