Frank Thorp V has some great photos on Instagram of members of the 118th Congress (including the alleged sex offender Matt Gaetz): instagram.com/p/DERDRj7x53l/?i…

Gorgeous 4x5 results. I want to figure out what lens he's using. It used to be an Aero Ektar but I'm guessing he might have replaced it for the same reason I did.

as one of those that did last year's survey on Windows, and this year's survey on Arch Linux: Woot 😀

Windows 11 is *such* a shitshow, and Proton is such a game changer, I suspect (ok, #hope) that it's the start of a prolonged trend.

2025 as the Year of Linux Desktop? Obviously not, but maybe we the needle starts moving this year

Ghostty is a terminal emulator that differentiates itself by being fast, feature-rich, and native.

While there are many excellent terminal emulators available, they all force you to choose between speed, features, or native UIs. Ghostty provides all three.

My stepmom had like 12 full sets of china because the family kept dumping them on her whenever someone died or downsized. She always took it because it was an "heirloom" but they just sat in a cupboard where no one could see them. She brought out one set for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner and that was it. She just moved house so I'm hoping she offloaded some or all of them. (They were all hideous)

the "echo" variant has the benefit that we can pipe the output to another script:

my_function | grep foobar

This way we can treat a function like any other Linux command call, which makes scripting much more consistent.

Na das hört sich doch schon mal prima an. 👍
Wenn du eine Einzeluserinstanz betreibst, dann würde ich empfehlen, das eine oder andere Relay hinzuzufügen. Dann füllt sich auch schneller die Timeline.
Allerdings geht das tatsächlich nur über die Console. Aber ich glaube, du kannst dich bei Docker auch in der Konsole anmelden, oder? Wenn ja, dann siehe hier: wiki.friendi.ca/docs/initicalc…
