The economy works better now and they just released smaller assets for schools, firehouses, more parks, etc. Still no bikes. Performance is better and barely playable on my amd 8700g apu.

I was excited to use Anarchy to connect the pedestrian paths on parks. But then I realized no one uses them. And then I realized the problem is no one goes in any park at all... I really want to like this game but it feels so dead having parks and paths entirely unused. The better road network tools are great, it's hard to go back to CS1.

With SSPLv1, does that mean one can sell redis hosting as long as everything used to manage it is open source? It says it's based on AGPL. So if say digitalocean open sourced all their api's and UI they could still offer managed redis. It seems like the answer is yes but then the blog post also says

Under the new license, cloud service providers hosting Redis offerings will no longer be permitted to use the source code of Redis free of charge.

That sounds like no.

Hello, I'm the lead dev of GlitchTip. Fun to see it mentioned here. Source maps are supported. I wish I had time to make the feature easier to use and write better docs. Contributions are welcome. It's very much a hobby project for the little time I have after work and family. Right now all of my attention is on an event ingest rewrite to work with fewer resources.

Bluetooth audio is my least favorite part of using Linux and it seems like my coworkers agree. I hear a lot of praise for pipewire, but it doesn't match what I experience. Does any system work well for anyone?

To clarify, it can work. But it's a harsh experience compared to say Android. I've used Ubuntu, Fedora, and PopOS. I've tried a few different headphones, using Galaxy Buds 2 current. Pulseaudio tends to "do as it's told" but doesn't automatically switch to the right (confusingly named) profile. With Ubuntu 23.10, using pipewire, it does automatic switch profiles. Sometimes this works great. But very often, it gets stuck on on a profile or just stops working. I have to reconnect bluetooth to fix it.

Is there some magic combination of things that works or is this just how it is for everyone?

While debatable, It's often cheaper to pay someone to host than to do it yourself. Imagine a 1 sysadmin small devshop that doesn't want to pay for 24/7 on call support but does have devs working in different time zones. Or a big enterprise that needs support (perhaps someone to blame). Joke about corporate culture if you want, but often it's less stressful to blame a vendor than an employee or the internal culture. It may take 10 minutes to set up. Hours a month to maintain. Weeks to get permission to install it. Time to hire support sysadmin staff. Time to explain why kubernetes/simple vm/heroku/shiny new thing would make hosting it easier.

Why not github? Perhaps the person or org just likes open source. Distrusts Microsoft. Wants the option to self host as a bail out strategy. Or just dislikes github. Competition is great.

This argument applies to most open source apps with hosting options. I'm a fan of this model.

Interesting. The attack involves physical access cold boot attacks and messing with the ram. At that point threatening me with a $5 wrench may be more effective. But I get the idea and a very select few folks probably care a lot about this. Shame we can't just enable S3 in the BIOS.

[-] bufke@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

You're going to hate that laptops like the Dell xps 13 specifically stopped supporting the better, older s3 sleep. Though in some cases linux may work well with "modern standby". It still isn't as good as s3.

You can make a city without private vehicles. There's pedestrian roads and public transit. Early on it looks silly seeing huge parking lots on low density commercial connected to a pedestrian street.

I'm happy it runs at all on steam deck. Hopefully performance improves by the time I make a larger city. It's surprisingly controllable but the graphics are glitchy.

I'm curious to know how folks use async Djagno in production. Have you switched a project over? Fully or critical code only? What was your experience like? Was it worth it?

I made an example app to demonstrate superiority in a confined test. I've found it quite awkward converting existing sync views to async. Fetching a limited queryset for json serialization is awkward [x async for x in values]. Some ORM functions, like get_or_create, appear to be just wrappers that call sync_to_async. Django Rest Framework doesn't support async and adrf doesn't support everything.

For me it's easily paying subway fare, seeing notifications, leaving my phone home for a quick errand (but could make a call if absolutely necessary). I have a small child, so having hands free abilities is great. If I could degoogle it and run only open source linux/android, I would. But nfc payments will never work with such a thing even if the software existed.

Lactose is a sugar and can cause cavities. What is overall healthier is debatable. Milk, I suppose, would lower the acidity.

[-] bufke@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

I listened to my dentist's advice to stop adding milk and sugar in my coffee. I now appreciate the taste of coffee much more, felt like reducing added sugar overall, and best of all I can be a coffee snob now. Win-win.
