Those are two non-fiction books about American politics. Very different from Innworld...

Really enjoying this series, too. (wanderinginn.com) Amazing amount of output from the author, and while there's no way you can enjoy every plot thread (I just don't care for Flos), it's amazing how often I get excited when a new chapter starts from a new perspective.

Personally, I'm also working on "When the Clock Broke" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/195790601-when-the-clock-broke and "This America of Ours" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58311951-this-america-of-ours

Both are interesting reads, but "America" is definitely largely lighter material ..(wild, given it's about McCarthy-era politics)

Replace `pyenv` with `uv` - Franck Pommereau - Blog in c/python@programming.dev

I've enjoyed uv so far. Definitely snappy. And I appreciate that they stuck with pyproject.toml for config. It pulled in some nice stuff from pipenv (sync and update are clear commands that do expected things).

Quick complaint: I wish the python ecosystem hadn't landed on toml for package config. I've never liked toml config files; always found them confusing.

Thanks for this. Really brightened my day.

OS X is (at this point loosely) based on BSD. I think you can still get Darwin (the open source part of OS )X somewhere...

is there a set top media player that doesn't require an online account? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] loweffortname@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago

I do have one, yes. I'm not currently using it, but if I recall it is basically vanilla OSMC, yes.

The Vero V isn't too bad: https://osmc.tv/vero/ The hardware is decent, and the remote is surprisingly better than I expected.

Fedora 40 boot hangs with kernel 6.8.10 in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] loweffortname@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 months ago

I don't think I have any great answers for you, but I have two thoughts:

  1. In my grub screen, I have 6.8.9, 6.8.10, and 6.8.11 available as choices. Does this also not work on 6.8.11 or do you only have Fedora configured to keep one old kernel version some how?
  2. If your system boots into 6.8.9 just fine, can you disable the swap volume and try 6.8.10 again? If it works, you at least know what's wrong...
