In a normal byte format it wouldn’t help, the byte standard breaks off bits into 8 bit chunks and calls them bytes (I’m not trying to explain basics, just putting it there for background), little-endian excels at using the least number of bits to express larger numbers in a stream. If you wanted to send any number from 0-255 you only need 1 byte, for 256-512 you need two bytes (or 16 bits), in little-endian it can be represented in just 9 bits, or up to 1024 in 10 bits, etc.

Doesn’t matter for much to many people, but when the number gets big enough you can save a lot of bandwidth.

I think you missed the point, that I was making, albeit poorly (little endian still requires leading zeros when not transmitting in a byte format, otherwise you don’t know if the first on signal is for 1, 256, 1024, etc.) it’s all good though

I’m not seeing any trailing zeros if that is in little endian, you start little end first and it isn’t limited to a silly 8-bits, it can be used to represent numbers far larger than 255 if continued (though then it wouldn’t be representative of a byte and half the joke would be lost).

Little-endian for the win!

I usually just gather a nibble by picking up a couple crumbs… I’ll see myself out.

I’m sure a successor will come around when room forms for them, I don’t know of a reason any of the core *arr stack should need one. If you know of one don’t hesitate to share, I’m just not really aware of any, they are awesome to me.

Personally when I need something and have seen an ad for a product that fits the need, I’ll buy it. If I’ve seen the ad so much that it’s seared into my brain, I search for the product and buy the ripoff version of it (when possible), or I DIY it.

When I realized they paywalled OIDC I had to look elsewhere.

As a current one I concur.

I suppose the older I get the more I can get behind this, similar to interlock devices for people that can’t control their drinking, I would imagine the offender would have to pay for it or lose their license. I know it seems crazy to force people to stay within the speed limit, but fining and tickets don’t work for some people.

Thank you for not only the laughter this morning but also for perfectly explaining why I always go for nano.

It claims to be an open source alternative to Teams/Slack/etc. I thought Mattermost was pretty cool until I installed it, then I realized stuff like OIDC was locked behind a paywall and that is a requirement I rarely wave for things I run at home. After a bit of fighting I just abandoned it.

A lot of people forget stuff easily. Remeber PSTV? While not a crazy or amazing device PSTV was pretty awesome (to me) before they nuked it, just another in a long line of forgotten tech.

I’ve used both but really like jotty…

What distro are you guys using to get errors like that? I’ve been a Debian guy as long as I can remember and was so happy when I gave up using Windows for games. Windows doesn’t seem to scale worth a shit, I have two twenty-seven inch monitors and one twenty-four inch monitor flipped portrait (it feels wrong but is so great for documentation); when I move a window halfway between two different size monitors the window is all fucked up, on Debian it is the same physical size across the displays and doesn’t look like someone is trying to zoom in on half of it.

All that being said, my son’s computer is close (he runs Arch… btw), but not perfect… I don’t know if that’s an Arch thing or he just doesn’t care about it as much as I do.

As a 40-something dude, I need a new backpack. Its got holes in it near the zippers and has seen about a decade of daily use. Backpacks are awesome.

Edit: current one is a Targus, any suggestions?

Growing up in the late 80s we had lots of crazy pets, I was about 5 or 6 when we adopted a timber wolf (Eastern Wolf) and I named it Babe. I remember it was a baby when we got it (I think it was rescued after a wildfire) and about two years later we had to reintroduce it to the wild. It wasn’t because it tried to hurt us or anything but it was starting to do things like stopping our oldest dog from eating and I think there were complaints from our neighbors (we lived in Gulfport Florida so that stuff happened a lot but could have played into it).

I think back every now and then and remember his coat, it was so thick and soft while still feeling kinda stiff, he slept in the bed with me and we were pretty much inseparable.

I was wondering how far down I would have to scroll for someone to mention that one… That one was pretty damn rough to watch.

Firmly Gen Y here and I use it all the damn time, but I blame that on computers not showing up until I was an awkward teen in high school and needed a neutral way to respond where people wouldn’t think I was AFK. We didn’t have ways to react to messages so lol and every varient (up to and including the roflcopter, lol) became our way to fill the silence. We were a generation that developed a way to communicate that you found annoying… just like every other generation, GenX gave us “Whatever” as the exclamation of frustrated, GenZ gave us stuff like “drip” for great fashion taste… GenY had a 9 key layout to type as we entered the workforce so we tried to keep it short.

I was too lazy and immich-go may not have existed when I migrated but I just selected and downloaded my pictures from Google Photos then just uploaded them to Immich and they seemed to keep all their metadata.
