He has been largely forgotten. Recently we were talking about data collection with my slightly younger gf (21) when I mentioned him. Turns out she never even heard his name. It’s not that she’s stupid or does not care about privacy, he just hasn’t been mentioned in mainstream media for over a decade, nobody makes reels about him on Instagram/tiktok. Tbh I haven seen him mentioned all that often on lemmy too.

With the rise of fascist parties worldwide, and especially here in the EU, and talks of AI, privacy seems to have taken a back seat in mainstream discourse.

One of the first small projects I worked on when i was starting with python was a telegram birthday reminder bot as i really didn’t want to rely on Facebook for that. At first I was just looping over all the entries in a list, then went to a database, at some point added fuzzy search, adding and removing entries. Still use it today.

Imo the best way to learn is to think of a project that you personally find useful and need solved for yourself, not some abstract exercise.

What do you mean? Nichicon’s fg series are one one the best reviewed audio grade capacitors, not to mention that Yamaha used their products in the original build. It just so happens that at these specs even the most expensive capacitors cost next to nothing, that’s why I mentioned it as a cheap luxury.

I looked into them, but unfortunately they are very hard to find in the EU.

Just got some Nichicon fine gold capacitors for the signal path of my 1985 Yamaha amplifier. Sounds cleaner than ever and all the caps I ordered cost me less than £2.

Well, I know its quite specific, but nothing beats AI at stereo matching and depthmap generation and that’s important in many fields.

I have a similar device, made around 2013, Atom CPU, 2 gigs of RAM, 32 gig emmc drive, no exandability.

I run Arch with QTile on it without much of a problem, though as others have mentioned, web browsing would be a pain with more than a few tabs open. Youtube is a no-go too.

I currently use it mostly to test an image editing GUI im working on. I know that if it is snappy on such poor hardware it would work perfectly fine anywhere else.

Well, for starters, if you build it you can have whatever aesthetic you want.

That’s kinda the point, I can’t really have any aesthetic I want. Unless I CNC my own case, I’m limited to what case manufacturers sell, which, in my opinion, is mostly bland boxes. or even worse, some sort of an LED aquarium that the components have to live in.

Depending on your performance target, some RTX3050 cards will run entirely off of the 75W provided through the PCI slot. They’ll also have “office PCs” with graphics cards in them, meaning they’re technically fit for playing games even though they’re bot marketed as such.

The thing is I’m not really set on any performance target yet. It might seem like I want to have my cake and eat it too, and I probably do, but I just want to know that I could put whatever I want into the case and not be limited by some proprietary standard.

You’re absolutely correct, and in my experience authors with physics background are even worse.

I’ve seen algorithms that I know by heart, understand fully and have implemented tens of times represented in such a way that I can’t even recognise them.

+1 I’m surprised nobody else mentioned it. Alpine seems to be able to run on anything.

Recently found out about ouch. Found it really useful for decompressing files in the terminal as I can’t seem to remember all the flags for tar, gzip, zip, rar and all the rest one may encounter which all seem to use different syntax.

Link returns “This site can’t be reachedThe webpage at https://files.catbox.moe/8g7agm.mp4 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.”.

It seems to be working for me.

Do you have a github or codeberg link?

I didn’t think anyone would have interest in it so i haven’t uploaded it. After new year’s I could clean it up a bit and host it on github.

Maybe we should add it to awesome-lemmy?.

I think it may be e a bit too early for that. At the current state it supports dynamic fetching of the feed in the background (quite buggy), paginating and displaying long posts and displaying top level comments only. At the current state it’s quite enough for me to enjoy a few (more like a few dozen) posts, but definitely not anywhere close to “awesome”.

That made me laugh so hard. Are there really no clients for linux mobiles?

Thanks, I’ve only heard of sixel, but never really read into it. Sounds promising.

I went with chafa as it’s terminal agnostic and supports various modes.

Then again, I’m not really sure a tui frontend needs high quality image rendering. Earlier I even considered going completely 1bit braille or just ASCII just so that the image doesn’t take all of the focus at the expense of the post body.

As mentioned by another commenter, I believe opening the full image in an external viewer is a much better solution, not to mention easier to implement.

Async programming is really quite hard to wrap your head around. Currently I’m mostly struggling with excessive memory consumption.

There is one named neonmodem overdrive but it is buggy.

It really is buggy, iirc I couldn’t even get it to run properly.

It also support discourse forums any plan for this?

I really don’t have any plans (or even a name) for the app, as I’ve just started playing around with pythorhead yesterday. I just hoped posting a prototype or a proof of concept might spark a discussion and maybe inspire someone much more competent than me.

Uploaded it to catbox.moe and then just pasted the link in the url field when creating the post. Hope that helps :)

Thank you, that’s so kind! I’ll probably try to tackle the comments first as they come quite messy from the api, then I’ll probably give the images a go.

To be honest, I’m hoping this project doesn’t get out of my league too quickly as a have almost no experience with working with apis.

While complex tuis are definitely not my cup of tea (I prefer cli tools to be simple, otherwise I would probably use a proper gui), I’m really happy that I’m not the only one wishing for a way to access lemmy from the terminal.
