@benrosstransit@mastodon.socialWall Street investors push Norfolk Southern to copy CSX's scheme that boosted profits at expense of workers & customers with "precision scheduled railroading." Claim that they can avoid hurting customers by phasing it in over 3 years. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/…
@beaware@social.beaware.liveRecently, with my obsession with Fallout 76, I decided to re-install Fallout 4 and give it another go because I haven't played it since it came out after I completed the main game.
But I think I done goofed because I also installed a MASSIVE modpack called StoryWealth which seems to add a bunch of quests and story stuff, but it also adds a whole re-design of the settlement system.
In the modpack, the settlement system is VERY involved. To the point where I feel it's basic…
@pre@boing.worldLooking at Akkoma a bit.
Install was pretty persnickety, editing nginx config files by hand and having to stop Nginx while fetching ssl certs.
Apparently it needs to recompile at the slightest tweak of the config files? Strange decision.
Not really clear why I have to use pleroma.instance in the middle of the config. Initialy tried changing that to the name of my new test instance but apparently it isn't that. I guess "pleremoa.instance" is some kind of legacy config template from before Akkoma forked? Maybe?
Media-uploads apparently not working without further configuration. Wasn't sure why it insisted I put that in a different domain-name and then never told me how to configure to use that.
Doesn't seem likely this is the easiest activitypub server to manage after all.
@unixviking@social.linux.pizzaAfter the xz-utils disaster, I did a tabula rasa yesterday after upgrading to Fedora 40 Beta the last few days and did a clean install of Fedora 39. Better safe than sorry.
But what do I do with Tumbleweed? Even with the patch I don't trust it anymore. For the time being, the ThinkPad will remain switched off until we really know more.

@lexd0g@wetdry.worldbooted up yarg on my bazzite 40 install, crashes after loading, said fuck it and ran the windows version thru wine, stuttering like crazy even after enabling vrr in gnome (which barely seems to work going by my monitor's fps overlay)
i dont know if i should bother with linux gaming man
@moonmoth@pnpde.social@… I used a Wiki for that purpose, but i chose DocuWiki instead of MediaWiki because I found it way easier to use and install.
Technically It worked well, but in the end I did 99% of the work - I originally planned to get players involved, but after a few weeks most of them stopped reading the wiki, only a handful of them edited their PCs pag…
@nelson@tech.lgbtTrying to update to Windows 11, it's remarkable how bad the upgrade software is. First time trying to create install media just fails after 35%. Works second time. Run setup on the install media, it spends 5 minutes saying "checking for updates" with absolutely no hint on what's going on. It does this update thing twice.
@laf0rge@chaos.socialAfter adding the SGP.26 test root of trust to EasyEUICC, I'm able to use download/enable my own eSIM profiles to a sysmoEUICC-C2T SGP.26 test eUICC inserted in a random Android phone. https://discourse.osmocom.org/t/easyeuicc-downl…
@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsIf you were even wondering why #Gentoo python-exec is sitting in dev-lang/ rather than dev-python/, that's actually a curious story of a hack.
#Python script wrapping dates back to the original python.eclass. The idea was sound: you'd rename scripts installed by Python packages to "foo-2.6", "foo-3.1", and then install a new wrapper that selects one of these versions. If this may sound unnecessary, remember that scripts need to be run with a Python version that has all its dependencies installed, and that different scripts could technically be installed for different versions (especially in the early Python 3 era, when using 2to3 was not uncommon).
The first version of dev-python/python-exec built on that concept, optimizing it in a few ways. It would install a shared wrapper as a separate package and use symlinks, whereas the old wrappers would be installed separately by every package. It would introduce a C executable to remove the overhead of starting a Python interpreter to determine which interpreter to actually start. However, it did copy the idea of suffixing scripts.
In the long run, this turned out to be a bad idea. Some scripts expected specific names, and we'd ended up hacking and patching things around. So I've made python-exec 2 that used a slightly different approach, and rather than renaming scripts, it moved them into a per-interpreter directory. This not only preserved the basename but let us make things simpler — we could just override the script install directory rather than having to rename stuff!
Migration was the problem. Two different approaches meant that packages built against python-exec:0 would have to continue depending on it. Originally, I've added a `:=` dep to the eclass but this couldn't solve the problem for packages already installed, and Portage ended up removing old python-exec. It wasn't good.
After some tinkering, I've figured out that the best approach is to add both slots as a new package, have the eclass depend on it with `:=` operator going forward and have the old `dev-python/python-exec` pull both slots for compatibility. This is what gave birth to `dev-lang/python-exec`.

@unixviking@social.linux.pizzaNevertheless, it feels like a new computer (ok, it's only four months old...) when you carry out a clean install after a lot of junk data has accumulated in these few months. Be it through the beta status, through many programs and apps that you have tried out and discarded... Now everything is lean and reduced to a minimum

@jrefior@hachyderm.ioAs far as I can tell, Microsoft's vscode team broke every color scheme with a January update. If you install a color scheme ("theme" in vscode speak), then open a file in the Go programming language, it won't look like the advertised color scheme.

@tristy@social.lol@… oh I upgraded my install to Code Whisperer earlier after Fig glitched in my menu bar. Saw it needed some sort of Amazon developer account and it went straight into the bin 😭

@unixviking@social.linux.pizzaAfter I had some small, annoying problems with Tumbleweed, but otherwise liked it very much, I will now install Tumbleweed on my ThinkPad. For the time being, I'll stick with Fedora on my main computer. But that could change if the current problems in my workflow are solved with Tumbleweed.
