Any way to do that other than backing them up to another machine/USB drive is too risky IMO.

Ah makes sense, thanks.

[-] FizzyOrange@programming.dev 2 points 3 days ago

Sounds awesome. Good luck!

Wow, that activated some seriously ancient neurons... I just looked up some of the models it supports and surprisingly they were made within the last decade. For some reason there's still a market for cheap dedicated MP3 players.

I guess they cost basically nothing to manufacture and some people might need them...

Uhm what?

Not unreasonable in Germany but it's a weirdly narrow band. €57-61k?

In Europe, not in cryptobullshit? Find me one.

Saying "good attempt" is just a nice platitude. It doesn't actually mean that what you've done is good, especially if you follow it up with (effectively) "but you've got to do it all again". I think most people understand that.

Yeah I mean obviously the technical points here are correct (and I wish my colleagues would write more robust code with less Bash and regex all over the place), but I don't know why he thinks you need an asshole manager to deliver that message.

Over-engineered. Too many moving parts. Refactor.”

That was it. No “nice work.” No “good attempt”. Just a hard stop.

Uhm yeah, would writing "good attempt" have hurt? Obviously not. He could easily have been nice and still deliver the technical information.

Good attempt, but I think this is too over-engineered with too many moving parts. For instance x y z would be simpler to maintain, and a b c isn't robust to 1 2 3 for example.

It doesn't take much. Don't be a dick.

Technically they do via a footnote... but it's a pretty confusing one at that!

The FLS stood for the "Ferrocene Language Specification". The minimal fork of Rust that Ferrous Systems qualifies and ships to their customers is called "Ferrocene", hence the name. We'll be dropping the expansion and just calling it the FLS within the Project.

So now it stands for... nothing. Bizarre.

Edit: rootless in this context means the remote windows appear like local windows; not in a big "desktop" window. It's nothing to do with the root account. Sorry, I didn't come up with that confusing term. If anyone can think of a better term let's use that!

This should be a simple task. I ssh to a remote server. I run a GUI command. It appears on my screen (and isn't laggy as hell).

Yet I've never found a solution that really works well in Linux. Here are some that I've tried over the years:

  • Remote X: this is just unusably slow, except maybe over a local network.
  • VNC: almost as slow as remote X and not rootless.
  • NX: IIRC this did perform well but I remember it being a pain to set up and it's proprietary.
  • Waypipe: I haven't actually tried this but based on the description it has the right UX. Unfortunately it only works with Wayland native apps and I'm not sure about the performance. Since it's just forwarding Wayland messages, similar to X forwarding, and not e.g. using a video codec I assume it will have similar performance issues (though maybe not as bad?).

I recently discovered wprs which sounds interesting but I haven't tried it.

Does anyone know if there is a good solution to this decades-old apparently unsolved problem?

I literally just want to ssh <server> xeyes and have xeyes (or whatever) appear on my screen, rootless, without lag, without complicated setup. Is that too much to ask?

Does anyone know of a website that will show you a graph of open/closed issues and PRs for a GitHub repo? This seems like such an obvious basic feature but GitHub only has a useless "insights" page which doesn't really show you anything.

Very impressive IDE integration for Dart macros. Something to aspire to.
