On the 10th of December, many services will be required to restrict access to Australians under 16 years of age, or face punishments. This is a huge breach of anonymity, privacy, and security, as we are being asked to trust corporations with our personal documents to verify that we are over the age of 16, providing them information that can be easily sold, or used to target us with advertisements.…
I decided to try using emacs, because I had heard about it a lot and it seems like it can do a lot of things that my editor (helix) cannot. I have been very very pleasantly surprised about how it has been! packages I use nix, so I would like nix to also manage my packages. The nixos wiki page for emacs page details some ways to do this. One way is to use the community overlay and have it read your…
If you interact with the open source community or any community with similar vibes, you have probably either watched the recent video by Louis Rossmann , or seen a lot of images of the old Microsoft mascot clippy. Essentially the point is that people want corporations to make products that are just there to help you, like clippy was just there to help. The idea is to criticise bad and invasive…
how to get arma 3 running on linux with radio mods I use nixos, but this should work everywhere that steam can be installed. Install arma, and download the teamspeak 3 installer. Launch Arma until the launcher. Go to the mods tab and subscribe to a mod if you have not done so already, click the little arrow, then the three drops and select "Open folder in Windows Explorer". This will open a WINE…

But what if we wanted multiple armament? multiple arguments let add = num_1 : num_2 : num_1 + num_2 ; in add 1 3 # evaluates to 4 Here add can take in 2 numbers num_1 and num_2 and return the result of adding…
It has been two days since I started working on undersea, and its going well! I have implemented the basics of the library, you can now add shows, retrive data about your shows and their episodes! I have started doing some basic work on learning ratatui to create the tui, which will now be developed along side the library. This allows me the focus in the scope of the library as I add the features…
If you want to listen to podcasts, you have a few options: Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, or RSS. RSS is great, but it lacks the quality of life features that these other providers have. For me the biggest two things that are missing are ordering episodes in order of oldest to newest (I listen to alot of fiction podcasts) and being able to resume a podcast across devices . I am hoping to…
I want to clarify that when I say "ps1/psx style" I mean style, I am not going for a exact replica of the way those platforms looked, because that does not interest me, but I think that taking elements of that such as vertex wobble, and things that are not actually from those platforms, like colour compression and dithering and combining them with modern rendering techniques like reflection bloom…
