Sorry, I forgot I made this thread for a while: the breadboard was a waste of space and painful, so I just hooked everything up to a server rack, they're running diet pi and should work, but I haven't actually set up the RF modulators fully yet so I can't confirm 100% that it all works yet, but it should do I've gotten myself a nice AI server for cheap to make code since I'm retarded, the commodore monitor pictured didn't work because it's 15khz so I swapped for an IBM one for now but I plan to switch back in the future because it looks nice, I also bought a nice keyboard pictured to complete the aesthetic, and I'm getting a new desk because just using this stuff at the rack is annoying Thanks for pointing me in the right direction guys! you're awesome for helping me!

Didn't see one around this board, figure it would be useful to have a video thread of all things related to tech. Video tutorials such as how to troubleshoot, tinker, or repair legacy hardware/software, for instance, would really come in handy.

The final solution of the document problem. Anonymous 10/31/2022 (Mon) 23:59:25 No. 10458 [Reply]
What is the final document format? Not text file (unformatted). I am asking for formatted text document, with tables and embedded images. What is the final solution? Proposals: -ODF (.odt) -Rich Text Format (.rtf) -HTML -DOC (.doc) -DOCX Considerations: -is the format simple, efficient, small? -is it open source, free, or at least without patents or some other shit -is it supported by large amount of software? for import and export -is it malware? has hidden metadata and other shit? complex and proprietary? -does the format allow for huge documents? -what the format supports? formatted text, embedded fonts, images, tables, embedded files, hyperlinks, what else? -is it simple to open both for viewing and editing?

Did you know you can use PowerShell on your phone? First install Termux, then run the following: pkg install proot-distro proot-distro install ubuntu proot-distro login ubuntu apt install dotnet-sdk-9.0 # If this env variable isn't set, dotnet will crash every time, even just running --help echo "export DOTNET_GCHeapHardLimit=1C0000000" >> .bashrc dotnet tool install --global PowerShell You'll probably need to re-login to the shell after updating .bashrc, but once you've intalled PowerShell, you can simply run it with pwsh So why haven't you installed PowerShell on your phone yet?

Why use powershell when I can use tcsh on my phone as god intended.
>>21684 I've found it's a lot nicer than using vanilla Termux. There's a lot more packages, and you can also have multiple distros installed if you want to avoid package conflicts for different projects.

>>21597 appealing to authority is retarded. appealing to an authority from an adjacent field is jeet-tarded. save that as a reminder.
>>21613 He's right. SGML wasn't half bad, it had features like shorttag/shortref/NET that made the source human-readable and editable. HTML was already a downgrade, as it inherited only auto closing tags. Worse, in the late 90s it wasn't standardized and unusable on mobile devices. So W3C made XML, which is even more painful to use but is simple enough that you could parse it on a PDA. XML for markup died as soon as mobile devices could run a full browser and HTML got an interoperable standard. Really it was stillborn because it never worked in IE.
>>21613 What have you done? Linus made an os and git; his authority is a valid argument.

There's a lot of langauges that have been referred to as "BASIC". Which one?

Whole 3D games have been made with BlitzBasic/DarkBasic, and FreeBasic seems to have a somewhat positive perception like FreePascal/Lazarus aswell. Go nuts.

NixOS? Anonymous 02/03/2025 (Mon) 03:24:03 No. 17173 [Reply] >>20912
Anyone here a NixOS user? just started and this shit kinda sucks.
7 posts and 1 image omitted.
>>20721 There's also that schizo John Ringer who works at said military contract place who regularly dunks on the nixpkgs retards and is creating his own hard fork a nix package store that's architecturally different than nixpkgs. Nixpkgs is fine for the average end user. It just works but the architecture is so robust that people can just come by and create their own version of it if the people who maintain the repo decide to revolt.
>>17173 (OP) Used to use NixOS but got fed up with it because almost every single time I'd update, something would start to compile from source and then fail or just be straight up broken. My favorite is when I had to pin the Nix tool to a specific version because newer ones would just core dump when ran (thank fuck for previous configs in the boot menu). Not to mention random shit failing due to expecting FHS, seemingly a gorillion different badly documented ways of doing something and the split between flakes and traditional configs. All of this coupled with my NEETdom ending just made me switch to a normalfag distro.
Nix as a development tool is incredible. I write a simple flake, put "use flake" in an .envrc, and my dependency problems are solved. I don't have to shit up my system with git repos or AUR packages that I'll only use once. The only thing keeping me away from NixOS at this point is the tedium of setting it up.

Qubes OS Anonymous 12/05/2021 (Sun) 22:46:24 No. 6580 [Reply] >>21304
thoughts?

>>18772 its not made for games but yea im pretty sure you can run games on it depending on what you running it on
>>18772 Steam, games etc. yes. System container is a minimal distro within a distro and uses host kernel. You give it gpu access and x/wayland/pulse/pipewire sockets with necessary libs and games run just like on host and you can even use host fs/disks.
>>6580 (OP) Disclosure: I haven't used Qubes in quite a while. Qubes is supposed to be a distro made for personal security, but people think its "security" is bullshit, for multiple reasons (QEMU and Xen have had many vulns; VMs really are not the same as isolation, ...). I was surprised to see that programs in the VMs are running as root... so I kinda agree with that. I'd guess you could easily pivot between VMs if you have 0days for QEMU. You can play games on Qubes. There are some guides out there for that (not sure how outdated they are though). You need a dedicated GPU for that, though, and ideally an AMD GPU, IIRC. Qubes is really cool if you believe you are safer because of like tinkering with stuff, but it gets tiring after a while. The usability(?) of the UI kinda sucks; it's written in python so crashes happen sometimes, etc. Also, Xen, QEMU, etc. have some limitations (eg: you can't run nested VMs, which would be really nice for researching stuff or, hell, working with emulators and shit). I also was never able to get a Windows VM to work. YMMV.
