That place: The Mariana Trench, believe it or not!

It’s freaking telling, when I’m getting spam in Russian, telling me about “A $1439 reward from Trump.” LMAO.

“Sorry can’t hear you, Pooty. Your munitions cooking off and your bridges crumbling deep within your borders are too loud!”

Weird possibility! I once tried to lubricate my machine and put a drip or two on the threaded Z axis rod. BAD IDEA.

This lead to VERY minor slippage once the gantry hit a certain height, and it would do exactly this. Lots of loud collision, very scary.

…So make sure your Z rod isn’t slipping, or slippery?

He really puts the “lay” in “You’ve been such a Lay-Z-Boy.”

See my brain OCR said “Tooth Fairy Spiders” and I was like “Oh THAT makes sense but I’m feeling brave.” But ended up sort of confused. 😂

This was really informative, thank you so much for taking the time! Definitely bookmarking this. :)

I was looking up further why you’d use a bare repo over a standard one. Somebody said for just sharing a repo between users, “snapshots just take up unnecessary space.”

…But would that mean you can’t roll back history? Maybe I’m ignorant on the term snapshot in Git context lol.

But yeah, I really appreciate the post and I think that’ll get me on the right foot, to actually developing games instead of setting up yet another tool and procrastinating what I want to actually be doing anyway. 😂

Glad my instinct was correct about not using Syncthing for this purpose. XD

That’s some really helpful advice, thank you! 😃 I actually didn’t know you could just make any local folder a repo like that.

Would a Forgejo instance still be helpful if I wanted to have “one point of truth” between multiple machines even if I’m the only dev? I already use Syncthing, but for some reason I feel like there’d be a lot of sync conflicts and stuff.

The other main reason for wanting to learn Git, of course, is because it’s otherwise more difficult to try out changes to scripts and experiment, without finding yourself lost in the weeds and forgetting what worked last.

My current “version control” is “copy the entire project folder before you do anything major.” 😂

I remember this confusion a LOT back when main-branch Blender had its own game engine built in.

Forums were full of people saying crap like :

“Don’t use that, because since you used Blender which is GPL it means you have to provide the source code to your incredible GOTY contender and then everybody will beat you at life!!!”

There was a lot of trepidation about this, but for the first few years they not only kept their promise about supporting FOSS, but actually made it better by allowing small private repos to get many of the services that were previously gated for open FOSS or paid repos.

• They embraced! :D
• They extended! :D
• . . .aw, shit. :/

I’ve only a basic understanding of using Git myself, but I think I’m gonna learn it with a self-hosted Forgejo for my Godot projects too.

Then for the parts that don’t have feature parity, I won’t know what I’m missing, and I have no need for “iNdUsTrY sTaNdArD LeAdiNg oPtiMiZeD sYnErGyStiC wOrKfLoWs” or whatever hahaha.

It does definitely present a conundrum if you want people to see your open source software though. Damn network effect. =\

I know weaponizing unflattering faces is just part of the political game, but it’s hilarious how easy it is to take this stupid guy’s constantly stupider, grimacing, whining, screaming face, and frame it as humorously as repulsively possible.

And even then, mainly aimed and enterprise customers, right?

“We’ve detected viruses heading for your computer!”

There’s an old saying: “You can’t con an honest man.” Things have mostly evolved since it was coined and plenty of honest folk are defrauded every day, but my point is —and NOT to victim blame but…

…What was the freakin’ lure here? Joining the invaders? Profiteering by getting paid by the invading army and then “the war would be over by the end of training” and…what, they’d just let you go home?

The Ruzzianz?! Atualmente?! Meu irmão, em que universo maluco?!

TikTok bubbles are such a powerful PSYOP weapon they can convince at least some number of people to think or do anything. It’s scary.

Remember everyone, that you and me are NOT immune to it either. Be careful out there…

I wish somebody would blurt this out at one of his stupid little press conferences, just to watch him melt down and poop himself in front of everyone.

Have you heard about the recent fuckups of fedora? fedora is a shitshow.

Oh really? I guess I haven’t. 😬

Yeah it was late here so I think I was poorly mushing two separate thoughts together there. I meant I was thinking of moving to a distro that isn’t as bleeding-edge for the laptop I’m not updating every single day…But also I should find something that still has a nice large software variety so I stay off AUR.

OpenSUSE has the “Open Build System” which I’ve used for like one package. So that’s pretty neat.

This is really tough because I have two gamers in the family using Nvidia cards I want to help move off of Windows, but I don’t want them running into having to roll back as often as I have or fiddle too much, but I feel like Mint is a little too far behind.

So I was considering the KDE spin of Fedora for them…But yeah, the answer isn’t so easy anymore lol.

Whelp…I’ve REALLY loved EndeavourOS for my laptop, especially because I felt I could mess around with stuff, but maybe this is my call to use something like Fedora or a OpenSUSE variant (I love Tumbleweed dearly).

Nothing against the incredible Arch, but I’m deffos that user who does

ENTER.

I want to learn, but also I’m a bit of a danger to myself if this malware threat is this broad.

Damn I picked a good time to jump on the EV bandwagon…

Our broken socioeconomic system rewards petty-warlord-like behavior.

The scariest thing is, autonomous “soldiers” can do what bombers cannot: Go building-to-building and door-to-door.

The cost and risk of urban engagements and “boots on the ground” was usually the final commitment of warfare.
