The snap came back

It wouldn't stay away

It was on my desktop

The very next day 🎵️

Are you trying to write your own parsers for these formats or something like that? I don't think I really get the issue you're running into.

If you want to just display formatted text (esp. including HTML), you can use a browser (either as an embedded widget in a custom app, via an Electron app, or in a regular browser via an HTTP server) and generate the output on the fly. You don't need to save the converted output if it's fast enough to generate...

the contents of these tickets need to be encrypted at rest

If that's the actual requirement -- i.e encrypted at rest -- then store the database on an encrypted volume instead of encrypting the messages themselves inside the DB. It will likely be more performant, and much, much easier to both implement and maintain while still providing good security.

Just ducky.

Instances go down a lot -- often permanently. e.g. kbin.social, lemm.ee, etc.

When an instance goes down, it takes out all the user accounts and communities on it, and it's hit or miss if you can find copies of the posts on other instances.

"Colder than a witch's tits!", as some of my relatives are fond of saying.

Yeah; I think so. When I got this file originally, I think it was from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Neptune_Voyager2_color_calibrated.png

which says:

Neptune on 1989-08-17, taken by NASA's Voyager 2 probe. This color image was composed of three frames, orange, green, and blue, taken by Voyager 2's imaging system. This color image has been calibrated to best represent Neptune's true color and appearance. Based on: (in English) Irwin, Patrick G J (2023-12-23). "Modelling the seasonal cycle of Uranus’s colour and magnitude, and comparison with Neptune". Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 527 (4): 11521–11538. DOI:10.1093/mnras/stad3761. ISSN 0035-8711

It looks like I re-compressed the version I posted with webp to reduce the file size for quicker viewing on lemmy -- so the colors in that are a little off from the PNG on Wikipedia, but are still closer than the classic enhanced color image.

darkblue

It's also light blue; pictures of it were just always published with exaggerated colors for a long time. It's actually more like this if you do better color calibration, apparently:

Demons Roots is probably the best RPG Maker game I've played that was actually playable as an RPG. (So, not counting things like To The Moon which other people have already mentioned.)

I wasn't a fan of most of the sexual content in Demons Roots, but taking the whole thing as basically a giant love letter to fucked up doujinshi stories -- i.e. to unpolished indie writing with wild genre bending plot twists in addition to the hentai stuff -- I can accept it for what it is. The game has that RPGMaker wabi-sabi; it's not especially well-crafted software... but the combat was OK (unlike a lot of indie RPGs), the music was good -- a mix of original and mostly well chosen asset packs (I still listen to some of it occasionally!), and, without getting into spoilers, it did a couple of very memorable things...

By "legacy" they probably mean that they work with the older process technologies, not that the fab itself is old:

The acquisition includes an existing 300 mm fab cleanroom of 300,000 square feet and will further position Micron to address growing global demand for memory solutions

In its May 2024 ’Hooray, we’re open!’ announcement, PSMC said it invested more than NT$300 billion (US$9.5 billion) on the facility, and that it had capacity to produce 50,000 12-inch wafers per month under 55, 40 and 28 nanometer technology nodes.

Those kinds of chips are still very useful for things like cars and washing machines and such where you don't need bleeding edge chip tech.

Most games have trophies designed by some corporate drone and consist of a handful of trophies giving for completing the storyline and the rest for token actions that you’ll inevitably do while playing.

Those are basically just publicly accessible analytics for how far people typically get in a game.

As others have noted, you can use the mount command from the terminal. On Mint, you should also be able to use the Disks utility that ships with the OS if you'd prefer to use a GUI.

 

I had some free time this weekend and I've spent some of it trying to learn Go since mlmym seems to be unmaintained and I'd like to try to fix some issues in it. I ran into a stumbling block that took a while to solve and which I had trouble finding relevant search results for. I've got it solved now, but felt like writing this up in case it helps anyone else out.

When running most go commands I tried (e.g. go mod init example/hello or go run hello.go or even something as seemingly innocuous as go doc cmd/compile when a go.mod file exists) the command would hang for a rather long time. In most cases, that was about 20~30 seconds, but in one case -- trying to get it to output the docs about the compile tool -- it took 1 minute and 15 seconds! This was on a relatively fresh Linux Mint install on old, but fairly decent hardware using golang-1.23 (installed from apt).

After the long wait, it would print out go: RLock go.mod: no locks available -- and might or might not do anything else depending on the command. (I did get documentation out after the 1min+ wait, for example.)

Now, there's no good reason I could think of why printing out some documentation or running Hello World should take that long, so I tried looking at what was going on with strace --relative-timestamps go run hello.go > trace.txt 2>&1 and found this in the output file:

0.000045 flock(3, LOCK_SH)         = -1 ENOLCK (No locks available)
25.059805 clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {tv_sec=3691, tv_nsec=443533733}) = 0

It was hanging on flock for 25 seconds (before calling clock_gettime).

The directory I was running in was from an NFS mount which was using NFSv3 unintentionally. File locking does not work on NFSv3 out of the box. In my case, changing the configuration to allow it to use NFSv4 was the fix I needed. After making the change a clean Hello World build takes ~5 seconds -- and a fraction of a second with cache.

After solving it, I've found out that there are some issues related to this open already (with a different error message -- cmd/go: "RLock …: Function not implemented") and a reply on an old StackOverflow about a similiar issue from one of the developers encouraging people to file a new issue if they can't find a workaround (like I did). For future reference, those links are:
