reply to: What are your favorite alternate rules for a sport or game? in Asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Hexagonal Tic-Tac-Toe, because it’s pretty interesting. It may sound simple, but the altered rules make the game a lot more challenging.

I found it through this video if anyone is interested. They have more videos on the matter too.

I think a small one I worked on was extracting URLs from a CSV file in a certain column. Not too difficult, but a very specific use case.

reply to: How often do you take the "fuck it, i could die of cancer in 2 years" approac... in Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world

I don’t have that specific approach to life.

But I do have a “Fuck, I could end up in a hospital with an IV in my arm” approach to trying to keep my body healthy.

reply to: If there were a Lemmy.i2p instance, would you use it? in Asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Probably not. I2P is a pain to set up, for little benefit other than a decentralized network. The latency is not worth it currently.

When it becomes click and install, and the latency is improved, then maybe.

OP

Yes, I’m looking for one that can rotate on its stand, instead of needing to mount it vertically.

I’ll clarify that in my post

Budget, adjustable monitor for programming?

Community iconc/asklemmy@lemmy.world by

I’m in the market for a monitor for programming. Ideally: - A monitor that can be adjusted vertically - A monitor that can rotated 90 degrees, so the long side is vertical

reply to: Sunglasses suggestions in No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world

I’ve only ever bought cheap $2 sunglasses and they work fine. They’re cheap, so they break easy, but they’re only $2.

pacman /w chaotic-aur.

I don’t need the AUR directly, a GUI, or other managers. Just what came with my system + chaotic works just fine.

Never seen it, so all the memes of it in animemes make no sense to me, but it’s still funny to look at.

I have a laptop I take with me that has UFW. I want to allow Syncthing from my home subnet and another place. Is there a way I can do that without allow from anywhere?

I followed the Python packaging guide to upload my project to TestPyPI, but the README is missing images.

Help with improving imports of built python package development?

Community iconc/python@programming.dev by

Title is kinda confusing, but basically, I followed the Python packaging process to set up my Python package development environment. My project structure is layed out the same, except for a .venv in the root directory (not in src), and additional Python files in the src/package_username directory.

Tips, Tricks, Arguments to make MPV work more like VLC in a script?

Community iconc/linux@lemmy.world by

I have a music script I’m working on that uses VLC as its backend for playing music in the background. However, I was looking around the MPV CLI arguments, and there’s quite a few things there that would work for my script.

Teardown Multiplayer update players: Did they change how tools are used?

Community iconc/gaming@lemmy.ml by

Prior to this update, I remember being able to hold down the use button and the tool would keep being used (Mainly the hammer). However, it seems like this was changed as now holding it down only registers one command (one hit).

Good Spelling/Grammar Checkers for LibreOffice

I’ve been using LibreOffice for a while now, and while I do enjoy it, its spelling/grammar checking are hit or miss more often than not.

Until GrapheneOS supports non-Pixels, it is not worth using over LineageOS

Community iconc/unpopularopinion@lemmy.world by

Now, don’t get me wrong, I like the premise of GrapheneOS. The security features it offers are great. However, you’re sacrificing useful hardware features by using it.

reply to: What’s the most terrifying experience you’ve ever had? in Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world

I don’t have spooky, but I’ve almost ‘died’ a few times (At least felt like I was dying):

  • Getting very light-headed and my vision becoming bright, and almost passing out due to dehydration and hunger multiple times in my life (A few when I was young, at work, and I think a few times at home)
  • Getting very dizzy, light-headed, and nauseous. Was my 1st time in an ambulance. Was fucked up on drugs they gave me that made my so exhausted, I couldn’t sleep at all.
  • More light-headedness due to drastic dietary changes
  • A pain that fucked my stomach up so bad, I though I was giving birth (I imagined it hurt as bad as birth, but through the stomach). After 30 agonizing minutes of it, a weird pressure feeling came over it (like a relieving feeling), and it started going away.

I’ve not had a great time.
