My dream study setup

I thought I was going mad but they must’ve deleted the message lmao @lethal rivet @chilly linden

[chilly linden]

It was a bot scam

[kind lion]

Where is your mouse pad? Don’t need it.

[maiden vault]

serious jee aspirant damnn

[terse aurora]

anyone with mouse recommendations wired or wireless ?

[molten trout]

I've been using steelseries prime mini wireless version for almost 2 years now and it has been a great choice. Really cheap, responsive, battery lasts so long and you can use it while its charging. Doesn't have a bluetooth but comes with a usb-c dongle. The only downside is that its pretty loud, so no way you can use it in a quiet place or during class. Its a gaming mouse btw that I've been using for both productivity and gaming.

[ionic meadow]

what kind of mouse do you need?

[terse aurora]

Thanks, I’ll look into it

[terse aurora]

Just a simple one, gets the job done sounds nice is light and I can travel with, I game but not so often n not as mechanical games anyways anymore

[ionic meadow]

warm lighting would go so hard here

[ionic meadow]

g305 is a great portable mouse imo

uses a AA battery but you can use a AAA adapter to make it a bit lighter

[maiden vault]

looks so cozy. bro even has his laptop spare parts attached to the wall 😭

[terse aurora]

imma look into it

[prime obsidian]

the g305 is a great pick

[terse aurora]

i appreciate it @ionic meadow

[merry quail]

Hello guys :)
I am a student from Germany studying Computer Science and just wanted to share my setup.
I hope you like it <3

[quick skiff]

hi by the way,
i am ukrainian student of middle school and now i live in asia.
if you interested, British course.

i hope that i will not fail my finals for this year.
have a good time!

[vague cedar]

It is IRL, my camera sucks

[vague cedar]

Yeah, word of advice: don't leave a ThinkPad T480 in the dock for weeks on end, it'll blow smth out and never work again

[sullen sky]

i've had my t430 on a dock for ages and it has been fine

[gaunt musk]

yo i have the same dictionary

[quick skiff]

that’s cool

[gaunt musk]

thanks bro

im thinking of self studying science and math and wondering if i could try to be with others with the same goal

[quick skiff]

you may try out https://discord.com/channels/716801153991442442/841821575220559873 channel, maybe you will find their someone

[dry fractal]

Hi everyone, I'm new here. Could you share what kind of study light you use? I am going to buy one soon

[quick skiff]

if you need something simple (just light) buy something with cold and warm colors(or light, i dont really have big knowlage at that topic), (or warm only if you study only at the darkness) but if you have wireless charging on phone, you may also try out something with a charger (that will eventually work with your phone).

if speaking simply, do not buy something very expensive, just a simple warm light.

[rapid hollow]

personal preference tbh, im using these 2 rn (the spring straight one is being used with orange and yellow filters to make it more warm)

you ideally wanna go to the higher CRI's bc if not youll end up not being able to distinguish between 2 different colored pens

above light is cri 90

[glossy grotto]

did you use tape or something to stick the filter on the lamp?

[teal thorn]

wooting 80he 😄

[rapid hollow]

I took the white part off which was as easy as just wedging a screwdriver and popping it off then I cut them into small lengths and placed them over and taped the inside

[dry fractal]

thanks guys

[gaunt musk]

sure

[merry quail]

Yup haha 😅

[teal thorn]

for studying :)

[merry quail]

Of course of course :)
(Most definitely not for Osu 🙃 )

[teal thorn]

I opened osu today because I saw your setup

[merry quail]

Ayy, cool

[quick skiff]

little update, now I got little more space and laptop is not reating that fast :)
also, I'm going to try out win 11 (iot ltsc)

[nocturne crest]

Iot ltsc is the way for using win 11 nowasays, share your experience with it, eventually I Will try out the ltsc version, for win 10 was amazing

[quick skiff]

steady but do not forget about wsreset -i if you need ms store, also, less ai so eventually its better than basic new 11.

about 10, man, iot up until 2031 so yeah...

[glossy grotto]

does anyone know where to get posters or anything motivational to put on walls? (without putting nails in)

[half quartz]

I will do something about it soon (:

[quick skiff]

use your imagination, I am personally using sticky notes right now

[solemn wharf]

My final setup though i have to use 2 desk lights bc the white one is very weak.. but the combination is really good since i found my eyes are relaxed with this light

[opal holly]

[mint pilot]

Thank you

[sullen sky]

I got one of those book stand things everyone has

5 computers total here

My monitor sits on 2 of them lmao

I also have this big monitor but i prefer the ibm box

[gaunt musk]

Amazing setup

[kind lion]

@sullen sky I will be personally offended if you don't become the next Steve jobs with this setup

[prime obsidian]

which one did you get?

ive been wanting to get one as well

[sullen sky]

Idk my friend gave it to me for free

He just had it sitting around and didn't need it

Okay it's a L150p

• ironic replies

man we're really missing out

[rapid hollow]

I wanna post my setup here but my iPhone 11 isn’t cut out for the 1800k lighting

It just doesn’t look yellow

[bronze compass]

just apply a lut or maybe color grade it

[rapid hollow]

English pls ?

Jkjk

I’m bad at these photography terms

Also what should I use , I’m on iPhone 11 @bronze compass

[bronze compass]

i aint able to send the LUT i use search retro warm grade and u can see

or just change the saturation and color temperature in photo setting

That looks sick but also looks like a monstrosity

Looks like an engineering prototype

[sullen sky]

yeah it has a i3 3rd gen

[maiden heath]

What’s it for specifically?

Is it for homelabbing?

[sullen sky]

idk i built it when i was 15

it was a mining rig originally

that costed like

50 bucks

total

probably less

mostly parts from the dump

5 dollar gpus from 2010

[maiden heath]

Dang nice one tho

[maiden heath]

Could be a good server setup ngl

Too many tech?

[sullen sky]

not enough

MOREMOREMORE

[bronze compass]

<@&942391219206647828> broo

[mint pilot]

Thanks

[true saffron]

Tech is never "too many", I have the same number of devices - a Huawei Phone, a Samsung Phone and a Lenovo Laptop. Very very nice setup, by the way.

Got some inspiration for mine.

[ionic meadow]

too many is when you start having e-waste so dwdw, not too much

[true saffron]

Also, what music player is that on your Huawei phone?

[chilly linden]

Brooo that green grid thingy looks so cool I want oneeee

[delicate mountain]

it's a cutting mat if you want to search it up

[maiden heath]

Just a huawei Phone that I use as an mp3

[maiden heath]

An old android one

[true saffron]

The Huawei music, right?

[maiden heath]

Yup

Decided to keep it simplistic

[royal pilot]

my 2 areas

[true saffron]

Same, it's great.

[maiden heath]

You use it as a mp3 player too?

[true saffron]

Yep, but also as an E-Reader.

[maiden heath]

Ah nice

[weary swallow]

<@&942391219206647828>

[mint pilot]

Thanku

[nocturne crest]

There is a 4060gpu gigabyte laptop with debían and gnome, planning on getting another nvme to install debian gnome on main rig, separated from win 11, server coming soon as well

[true saffron]

Of the phone? Huawei's Honor 7X.
Of the E-Reading app? KOReader.

[ionic meadow]

do you guys recommend the m575s for a trackball mouse or have other suggestions?

[prime obsidian]

i can recommend it

[muted hound]

🤔

[true saffron]

It's good, but I'll also recommend you the ProtoArc EM01.

[prime obsidian]

ive heard of people having issues with the em01 (including james), so i would personally stay away from it

[solemn wharf]

[sullen sky]

Just picked up this huge monitor

[vast sierra]

Congrats!

[vast sierra]

I use it too

but im use kali linux

[tender ivy]

awesome! Maybe I will install it one day!

[vast sierra]

GNOME

[vast sierra]

Yes, it's really great.

[tender ivy]

I was looking at CachyOS too

[vast sierra]

nice

[vast sierra]

And very light

[sullen sky]

Kali is not very light imo

Especially with gnome

It is just debian with a bunch of security tools installed

Here is the new monitor

It's actually 22 years old but still good

[vast sierra]

I agree with you, but compared to Windows it's much lighter.

[prime obsidian]

man the old cinema displays look so nice

would love to pick one up someday but i already have to many extra monitors

Setting up docker

[gaunt musk]

Nice setup bro

What are the phones there btw

I think that's a S20 or s21

[nocturne crest]

Linux Mint on main machine, second main machine and windows 11 on gaming (for school ONLY windows programs), not much change from last pic days ago

[teal thorn]

vertical main monitor?

[nocturne crest]

the code demands space, all gazebo simulations for robots run on other screens, also really good layout for documentation and reading 😄

[teal thorn]

I can't see... but is that Java?

[nocturne crest]

yeah well, most of the older robots are coded on main frameworks, besides the top right is the robot I'm currently working on, fully coded on java, full of propetary closes code :C

[teal thorn]

Don't let others know but.... I love Java 🤩

[nocturne crest]

yeah me too, currently learning python, both great tools within each skillset

java developer for 2 years now

[teal thorn]

Java is underrated

[nocturne crest]

you could be surprised the amount of things java is on. Netflix works like a charm because of Java, the robots as well

OOP programming is hard, when you get it is one of a hell skill

[tacit path]

nah for java it shouldn't be vertical, it should be ultrawide

[teal thorn]

this is me

[worn quartz]

Ngl the pic gives me a nostalgic vibe

Like gaming late at night with the desk lights

Not sleeping untill 8am

[lethal rivet]

the melatonin tablets are so relatable

[reef lance]

I dont wanna be that guy ,but imo magnesium glycinate works well too if u have trouble sleeping and fewer side effects compare melatonin cuz u know melatonin is a hormone

[lethal rivet]

Wow I didn't know that thanks 👍

But I dont really take melatonin anymore so its not too much of an issue

[teal thorn]

I want to switch to nvim at some point

[solemn wharf]

i think the light should be upper the main screen, the setting is good btw!

[viscid flicker]

h

[harsh blaze]

Bro robots as welll ???

I thought robots mean c or c++

[nocturne crest]

It depends but sure, is not a majority but a good number of old robots are built on java, c/c++ and the new ones on Python

[nocturne crest]

Wasn't worth it for me, i tried with no plugins, and nvim distros

Vscode with a minimal config to make it look like vim is perfect

No distractions, vim keybinds and really good git integrations, debug, and all vscode things (no ai or copilot for sure)

[weary swallow]

for me the cool thing of using vim(i use vis) is that its a terminal user interface so it starts insantly and i can quickly use it make small edits from the terminal

so my workflow is more cd src; ls; vis foo.txt than opening the folder in vscode and opening it from there

[weary swallow]

instantly*

[nocturne crest]

For small changes is great ngl and vscode is slow af

But once all breaks and you have to update everything piss me off

I want It to work, not have 100+ plugins and have lsp

Visual does have thoose soo

I don't have time for doing 3+ hours of changes on the init.lua

vscode minimal + linux mint hell yeah

[sullen sky]

Thinkpad style keyboard

[weary swallow]

i agree

i use 2 plugins and no lsp

[vast sierra]

me too

[weary swallow]

but of course that doesnt work for everyone

[teal thorn]

ya I got a pretty decent setup but it's only missing a good LSP and built-in debugger

[nocturne crest]

Thats what im talking about, no ai ok but good lsp for sure, and debugging, for certain people neovim is the way but i have other hobbies

The more old im more i don't want to touch configs and not see a computer

[clear jasper]

Changes a little day by day, final year of PhD in thermal hydraulics. I have my university issue laptop workstation running mint on the other side of the room I ssh/nomachine into for OpenFoam

Today is just responding to journal reviewers but I can't show any of that :p

[prime obsidian]

cool setup!

i feel your pain with the fingerprints on the midnight macbook lol

[clear jasper]

hahah yeah ... it used to bother me a lot but i've just accepted it now as a part of life

[clear jasper]

setup update: i made a fresh coffee

[nocturne crest]

The mint PC for open foam is heavy for workloads? I know sim software is heavy

[clear jasper]

More for pre-processing (setting up the simulation case, creating the mesh, quick tests to make sure it's not going to crash) and very basic simulations. The "real" simulations I do on my university's HPC facility on something between 80 and 200 physical cores

Although a small part of my PhD was doing so-called "component scale" simulations using STAR-CCM+, for those it was more than enough to use my workstation since the cell count was on the order of 1000 and only steady-state simulations

The main (and more interesting) work is more like on the order of 10 million computational cells and time dependent

I'll stop short of explaining my entire phd though, if nobody shuts me up i can go on for hours

[nocturne crest]

Dm me and talk about it, I can relate, research is the field I'm aiming

[teal thorn]

Copilot plugin works pretty much same as intellij so its good

[terse remnant]

nice setup! Can you drop your wallpaper?

[clear jasper]

Thanks and of course no problem, the wallpaper is from unsplash: https://unsplash.com/photos/brown-wooden-shed-near-pine-trees-during-winter-h4xoZAs5XyM

i mean its cheap and doesnt hurt ur eyes

[prime violet]

My messy study setup

[analog shadow]

Honestly I can't recommend a dedicated cheap ereader enough, I didn't have a ereader before last year and it meant I never really read books for more than 20-30 minutes as the iPad mini I had made my eyes hurt, just you don't need to spend a fortune on it, if you don't need to take notes on it just get a used kindle for less than 100 dollars

I so want a crt monitor but the only crts I've been able to find used are shitty tvs from the late 90s no decent desktop monitors

[stoic saffron]

i found mine in churches and e-waste places

i think i only spent $20 on mine '

[analog shadow]

Seems like no one here kept their crts, all of facebook marketplace and local marketplaces are just full of 2000s lcd monitors (which I am currently using in my setup), I don't wanna import a crt from another country due to import and possibly it arriving in 10000 pieces

all of the places who sell off stuff (there aren't really any e-waste places) almost never have any tech and if they do never a CRT, I have been looking passively for years

i got this one in like 2021, they were much more common then

[foggy swan]

what do guys get by doing all this seriously

[hushed wraith]

just gonna leave this here

[bronze compass]

its prolly fake id or their ids are hacked
happened to many of my friends too

[sullen sky]

Not very clean but here

This is my main pc

[foggy swan]

oh

[foggy swan]

crazy, dust issues?

[foggy swan]

thinkpad external kb looks sick

[chilly linden]

Bro the book adds so much to the aeathetic aaaaaa

[ionic meadow]

what happened

[mint pilot]

Thanks

[nimble anvil]

how are you finding the trackball mouse?

[analog shadow]

happened to my acc too, somehow a website grabbed my dc token through cookies without me asking and they stole all my accounts, I honestly don't know who tf falls for those scams they send via photos though, at this point we all have seen these same 4 photos at least once and know they are all scams, like this is not a website mainly used by older people like facebook.

[hushed wraith]

my thoughts in it you say?

[nimble anvil]

yea, mb bad wording lmao

[hushed wraith]

no worries

at first, I wasn't sure about it, but after I got used to it, I don't want to go back to a regular mouse unless I'm gonna play something

but in general use, I like it a lot

[nimble anvil]

no thumb strain? do you have a portable one as well for on the go?

[brave lava]

bro this is amazing to the bones

good job

[sullen sky]

Not at all

[sullen sky]

Yeah I love it

[errant crater]

my setup used to be like this just a few months ago

but i stripped it down a bit

and now it's like this.....

[old pendant]

which keyboard is this

[mint pilot]

THIS IS SO PRETTY

[undone silo]

that book shelf is holding onto its dear life

sick setup though 🫶

[verbal inlet]

[sullen sky]

It's a Tex shura

You can get it on the Tex website

[flat beacon]

I don't see many ppl using NixOs !!

[clear jasper]

It's a lifestyle

[nocturne crest]

nice one kvba that's what u have been up to?

learning nix?

[clear jasper]

I've used nix before but I knew nothing about servers, so I've been learning a lot about that. Too much even, maybe

[nocturne crest]

never is too much

homelabbing is a great expensive hobbie

i'd rather have a mini lab, than a industrial grade server at home

[clear jasper]

Yeah really expensive right now, I had to order the HDDs under two different accounts or seagate wouldnt let me have both

[nocturne crest]

junk and dreams keep google cloud service away

my lab is only my pcs and a rpi400 running pi hole

[clear jasper]

It's made me finally feel some kind of sympathy towards the research IT department at my university. Not completely because i still think they're very lazy

But some kind of sympathy all the same

[nocturne crest]

when the hdds and all lowers prices i'll get some hdds for the setting up a nas, immich and a one drive locally nothing less

[clear jasper]

Next time they break the HPC facility with more senseless changes I'll be nicer to them perhaps

[lyric jewel]

yall talking abt nas ?

[maiden heath]

Just tried to make it minimal as possible and turn on monochrome mode on. It already has great battery (2-3 days or more without charging). Also, it already had a books app so I just airdropped it to it. Moreover, it has no Wi-Fi support anymore so I’ve been using my data to send files as books to it.

[ionic meadow]

no way all of these guys fell for it LMAOO

conscecutively is so unfortunate

[prime obsidian]

fr 😭

[bronze compass]

Their accounts got hacked

[ionic meadow]

usually that's from clicking a link or downloading something

[sullen sky]

it cant be that hard to code a bot that automatically deletes and bans people who send those images

[marble geode]

yeah, they all probably have the same filename

[sullen sky]

they dont

[marble geode]

oof then it's probably really hard unless an image scanning bot already exists

[sullen sky]

hash = hashlib.md5(requests.get(attachment.url).content).hexdigest()
if hash == BANNED_MD5:
    await message.delete()
    await message.author.ban()

something like that idk

[sullen sky]

i dont think that is possible

surely you logged into something or scanned a qr code or downloaded something

[tacit path]

afaik you just get hacked by installing something. it will often sit for weeks/months and then there will be coordinated waves of stealing accounts to promote their gambling scam site

[analog shadow]

I went onto a website that just had cookie access on by default

[tacit path]

websites can't just read cookies from other domains

[sullen sky]

i checked out the site

and it reads from localstorage

because yeah reading cookies from other sites is impossible

[tacit path]

also it only applies if you use discord on the browser

had it been possible to read cookies from other sites

[sullen sky]

even then the token shouldnt be in localstorage

idk how it does it tbh

it just spam checks localStorage for a discord token

idk how the token gets there

[brave lava]

i thought these acc got stolen from the discord breach that happ before ?

do you know how to prevent it

[forest falcon]

i think the best ways are to make sure you're not logged in on the website so the token can't be stolen and to make sure you have 2fa enabled via both SMS and an authenticator app

[sharp lotus]

same laptop=)

[sullen sky]

the token shouldnt even be in localstorage though

[forest falcon]

i'm not sure about that but it could be, so it's best to stay signed out of the wesbsite

Aye this the first time ive seen this channel, tempted to send mine but its pretty ugly so

[terse remnant]

niceeee, whats your wallpaper?

[viscid schooner]

damn it i have to reduce the quality to 30 frames per sec

[undone silo]

No worries

[viscid schooner]

please work

i dont get why shortening a clip to 100mb is so hard 😭

it took some time making it detect my wallpaper and get that glassy frosted look

[undone silo]

Niceeee i like the colors

[viscid schooner]

but i copied the same css styling as my terminal and other css styled applications

[viscid schooner]

ty

[undone silo]

It's incredible how one can do sm with css

[viscid schooner]

you can do it as well, theres so much options in macos

the extension i use is Tampermonkey

it allows us to write userscripts for any html

[undone silo]

Could be the file type you're recording in? I know in obs by default it records to mkv which is not known for great compression

[viscid schooner]

I pull the gif/image from my github repo

[viscid schooner]

nah i just use macos screen recording

[undone silo]

I could but it seems so much work

[viscid schooner]

so it captures EVERYTHING in 120fps

[undone silo]

That's why i appreciate ricing your own workspace even more

[undone silo]

Lmao that's truly excessive

[undone silo]

Never heard of this tool

[viscid schooner]

its a pretty simple extension on firefox u can download it from firefox addons

and then it will take an hour or two getting a proper code to rice a website elements

me personally what took me long is identifying the class elements using f 12, because theres a whole tree of classes under inspector, so i had to manually check every div class to find the actual element

[brave lava]

the more ugly == the better

ill send it tmr when its daytime 🙏

[clear jasper]

exactly. magnetic phone stands from aliexpress to increase the split keyboard tenting are coming soon to his setup too

i wonder if he also got RSI or he just likes spending money that much

[viscid schooner]

That’s an application called RunCat. Is mostly free but for 0.99$ you can customize your own animation. It goes faster when ur computer works harder

They are deleted when the user is banned on the server typically

bad quality image of my setup but eh I use arch btw. Ye I know the thinkpad t420 is around 2010s era of laptops but it sure runs what I need it to run very well + I'm not compiling full on os kernels or anything massive. And the keyboard is amazing, bro.

[fluid ice]

<@&942391219206647828>

gotta up your verification system to join the server you're getting these like daily atp

[dense jay]

I think it's not that
You see, these "infected" account usually don't have the leaf beside its username, meaning the accounts are not new to this server
I think they are old members who fall to phishing scams

[kind lion]

When I check their bios they seem to be formed like 5-7 years ago or smth too

old accounts

[forest falcon]

i don't think it's just from phishing scams; weak passwords and no 2fa could also be a reason

i got hacked like a few years back but when i enabled 2fa i stopped getting hacked, and i also changed my password to a much more secure one recently

[brave lava]

its because of the leak that happened 3 months ago prob

[forest falcon]

wasn't that leak associated with IDs or something? and not account data

because i got affected by that leak but nothing happened to my account since i didn't give any sensitive info in the single support ticket that i opened and because i have both sms and authenticator 2fa

[clear jasper]

it seems like so many people and so regularly for it to be one of those qr-code phising scams

[kind lion]

well here's another example to see

[tacit path]

<@&942391219206647828>

you need to open a ticket and ask for permission before posting things like that

finally got a working crt monitor, keyboard and a ball mouse after having inspiration from james for years. haven't been happier in months

[naive hamlet]

where did u get it, Im also tryning to find one and how much did it cost?

Cuz they are really expensive

[rose shadow]

it was free for me, but it doesn't cost much in my country. usually people are trying to get rid of old tech for a small sum of money like $10 for a monitor

[naive hamlet]

ngl Im jaloux

[rose shadow]

the only things i had to order are 2 adapter cables to connect it all to a modern pc

what's the red box next to monitor, a radio? looks sick

[remote sinew]

Yes some 1970s radio I found at grandmas

[sullen sky]

woah

thats so sick

i need a crt monitor so bad

too bad they are like non-existant in my country

[sullen sky]

i have a t430 with the classic keyboard that runs arch

they kinda look the same

i ditched arch for artix on my main pc because systemd

i also corebooted it

I also have these three as well

[weary swallow]

thats sick

is that windowmaker on gentoo?

[sullen sky]

yup

[weary swallow]

woah

so do u use both i3 and windowmaker or...?

[sullen sky]

i use windowmaker on the x61

and i3 on everything else

hyprland if i need wayland

[weary swallow]

why would you need wayland?

[weary swallow]

i see

i cant live without all my devices using the same wm

[sullen sky]

yeah same kinda

i use i3 binds on hyprland tho lmao

so its easier

[weary swallow]

thats fair

i also use dwm binds on cwm

[sullen sky]

ooh yeah

oh yeah

i forgot

my t430 also runs my own wm

sometimes

[weary swallow]

selfmade?

[sullen sky]

kinda an abandoned project though

[weary swallow]

thats sick

[sullen sky]

yeah kinda

[weary swallow]

i tried making one too once

also abandoned it pretty quicjly

[sullen sky]

a lot of the base code was taken from dwl

[weary swallow]

turns out cwm is good enough

[weary swallow]

wayland then?

[sullen sky]

but i wanna rewrite it for xorg

[weary swallow]

crazy

[sullen sky]

yeah idk why i did that

for something that looks so old

idk why i did wayland

[weary swallow]

yh i tried making a wayland compositor too but you rlly need wlroots for that

and that was not fun

[sullen sky]

yeah wlroots is not nice

i just have an sh script which compiles it

because package managers hate it

[weary swallow]

nowadays theres also neuswc which is a better librqry, but it barely has compatability with all major protocoks

[sullen sky]

oh yeah true

[weary swallow]

versioning is tough too

[sullen sky]

never heard of it tbh

[weary swallow]

its not stable yet tbf, but between 0.16 and 0.18 the api changes so drastically

[sullen sky]

yeah actually

[weary swallow]

its pretty niche but based on swc

[sullen sky]

ooooh

[weary swallow]

(which in turn is also pretty niche lol)

[sullen sky]

yeah i've never heard of swc either

im not the biggest wayland fan

[brave lava]

your a monster

[sullen sky]

lmao thanks bro

[weary swallow]

man i wish i had a nice laptop

my x390's screen broke

[sullen sky]

i lowkey have a really expensive laptop

but like

i barely use it

💔

x210ai

[weary swallow]

my x220 doesnt feel like booting anything on the disk

[weary swallow]

never heard of it

[sullen sky]

dayum thats sad

[weary swallow]

how come?

[sullen sky]

im not in school anymore

[weary swallow]

i mean i have a pc so thats fine

[sullen sky]

and i use my pc for most things

[weary swallow]

yeah fair

[sullen sky]

it has 64 gb ddr5

in a x201 chassis

[weary swallow]

thats hella expensive nowadays

[sullen sky]

read the specs here

[weary swallow]

i got 32 and its always been enough

[sullen sky]

i got 128 on my main machine

ddr3 though

cost me like

nothing

[weary swallow]

wtfff

[sullen sky]

and 2 cpus

[weary swallow]

can i use ddr3 sticks on a ddr5 motherboard?

and then mix?

[sullen sky]

nah

[weary swallow]

thats crazy

[sullen sky]

build cost me like

400 nzd total

not counting the gpu

[weary swallow]

nzd?

[sullen sky]

new zealand dollas

[weary swallow]

sooo is that like a lot?

i got mine for 1000€ in 2020

[sullen sky]

200 euro

[sullen sky]

dayum

what are the specs

[weary swallow]

whaaat thats so cheap

[sullen sky]

oooh

pretty clean

what are you running bedrock for lmao

[weary swallow]

uhhh i wanted to install unity

which is a mess on voidlinux

[sullen sky]

oh yeah right

[weary swallow]

but yeah i barely use bedrock features anymore

[sullen sky]

voidlinux is lowkey like

idk

maybe it has changed since 2021

but i remember it had like no packages

[weary swallow]

compared to arch maybe yes?

[sullen sky]

yeah

artix is nice

but you kinda need to fight the init system

[weary swallow]

but i have like everything i need here except for super niche programms

[sullen sky]

setting up ly was a pain

[weary swallow]

i have autologin setup with no display manager

[sullen sky]

ooh yea

on my x61 i just manually run the wm

[weary swallow]

but artix felt too unstable, i mean its based on arch and then with a different init system hacked in

[sullen sky]

lmao actually

your right

it hasnt randomly broken on me though

[weary swallow]

i use .zprofile for that

if grep -q l <<< "$-" && test "$(tty)" = '/dev/tty1'; then
    rm -rf "$HOME"/.config/service-env
    cd
    echo 'Press return to start gui'
    read && exec dbus-run-session "$HOME/.winit"
fi

[sullen sky]

its just a pain setting up some stuff

[sullen sky]

ooh yeah

[weary swallow]

i used to use arch and i often had broken packages

[sullen sky]

damn

i've been using arch

since

2022?

and it hasnt randomly broken

if something breaks its usually because i did it lmao

[weary swallow]

this is a bit hacked together, ~/.winit is redundant but my setup has a lot of historic garbage lol

[sullen sky]

lmao fair

[weary swallow]

fair xd

i also broke so many installs back then

when i was stil learning

[sullen sky]

lmao same

i remember

when i was like

12

i was using manjaro

[weary swallow]

LOL SAME

[sullen sky]

and

i thought arch had more aura

[weary swallow]

i disto hoped all the time

[sullen sky]

but i was too dumb to install it

[weary swallow]

wow

[sullen sky]

SAME

[weary swallow]

wow i relate

[sullen sky]

so i just like

[weary swallow]

i even wanted gentoo once

[sullen sky]

hacked my manjaro into arch

changed the repos and shit

and all that

even changes the neofetch logo

[weary swallow]

looool

[sullen sky]

just for the arch aura

[weary swallow]

just edit /etc/os-release ;)

[sullen sky]

i did lmao

then like a few days later i installed arch

[weary swallow]

there wasnt archinstall back then?

[sullen sky]

i think there was

but nobody knew about it

[weary swallow]

or i think it was but not preinstalled

it was only in AUR

[sullen sky]

or maybe you had to manually install it

[weary swallow]

yes

[sullen sky]

yeah

i think there was another arch install script too

i remember using it at some point

[weary swallow]

theres probably a ton

i used it too

nowadays finally found my home in the void

[sullen sky]

but the first arch install i did manually

[sullen sky]

tuff

[weary swallow]

i tried that too but i couldnt boot somehow

[sullen sky]

dayum

i tried nix at some point

and like

i dont see the appeal

[weary swallow]

eeh you should read the phd thesis leading up to the creation of nix

i only read the introduction but it helped me realize the reason for nix

i still dont think its good for a personal setup, but rather for enterprises or servers

[sullen sky]

yeah true

[weary swallow]

if only it was faster

[sullen sky]

i always thought gentoo was like

not worth it

[weary swallow]

everything is pinned to a specific version so installing takes forever

[weary swallow]

i still do that :p

[sullen sky]

like 5% proformance for like hours of time

but i installed it on my x61

and the speed difference was massive

compared to arch

like wtf

[weary swallow]

hmmmm

[sullen sky]

i get that its ancient

and missing a good few cpu instructions

but still

[weary swallow]

did you optimize it?

or what did you optimize?

[sullen sky]

i mean gentoo is like

thats the whole thing

use flags and all

[weary swallow]

but just useflags can only do so much

is that really noticable already?

isnt most overhead from filesystem operations

[sullen sky]

i dunno

maybe on modern hardware

like you are compiling stuff specifically for your hardware

and when its everything compiled

it adds up

[weary swallow]

eeh maybe

but compilers need to be optimized for the hardware too

[sullen sky]

compile the compiler

[weary swallow]

thats... not how it works xd

the compiler needs to utilize cpu-specific instructions which require changes in the code

[sullen sky]

wdym

[weary swallow]

the compiler produces code for the cpu

but it first has to be coded, so it uses the cpu specific features to optimize

like it needs to recognize "oh this cpu supports the xyz instruction, i should use this here"

idk how much performance is gainable by compiling yourself really

[sullen sky]

-march=core2

[weary swallow]

then the compiler still needs to use the optimizations provided by core2

[sullen sky]

i mean

[weary swallow]

either way i think its kinda pointless with modern software. if i run a webbrowser on an old laptop its gonna be slow either way

[sullen sky]

it is compiling specifically for that instruction set

so what it compiles will use those instructions

[sullen sky]

yeah 100%

but in my experence for super crappy hardware

or like

powerpc
