  • I can now save my game in Pokemon Yellow again after 25 years.

    Jump

  • I've been so on the fence about attempting to solder, but it frightens me the idea of causing a little sparky fire.

    So, good on you!

  • How much of the enchilada do you want?

    Jump

  • I'll take

    The whole enchilada

    YEEEAAAAHHHH

  • I Decompiled the White House's New App

    Jump

  • Not that it makes it "good', but the issues found seem (to me) more incompetent than nefarious, at least.

  • Recommend games for me

    Jump

  • Just in case you haven't played it, the first SUPERHOT is, IMO, quite a bit better than the second, so I'll toss that in there.

    As a wilder card, I'll suggest the Batman Arkham games. I think Arkham City is probably the most well-regarded of them.

  • UneXpect — In a Flesh Aquarium [2006, avantgarde/progressive/operatic metal / mathcore]: kinda eclectic

    Jump

  • Saw these guys back around, ~2010 opening for Psycroptic IIRC. Absolute madness. This and their final album are great.

  • The Problem with A.I. Slop! - Computerphile [14:57]

    Jump

  • I recognize that it's a workaround for a problem foisted on us by idiots and we shouldn't have to deal with it, but I like the absurd notion of a "Spam folder" of websites

  • NPM Supply Chain Attack: Is the Coast Clear?

    Jump

  • Yes and no. The truth of the matter is supply-chain attacks in any repository are almost impossible to fully mitigate. The attack you linked sounds like a big and successful attack, but there are more minor attack attempts all the time. It’s the blessing and curse of every package manager that anyone can upload almost anything.

    The upshot is that the most active repos have the most eyes. Not to say an attack won’t fly under the radar, but if the React or Angular packages (or their dependencies) start acting weird, it’s more likely that someone will notice, as there are people dedicated to auditing such things.

    Furthermore, a lot of the smaller packages do “one thing” (see the infamous is-even package), so they are small and easy to self-audit if you are paranoid enough.

    It’s not perfect, and there will always be more headlines about the next big attack, but it’s still a boon overall IMO.

  • Poppy, Amy Lee, Courtney LaPlante - End of You (Official Music Video)

    Jump

  • Honestly, quite fun. The instrumentation is nothing to write home about, but it's a pretty decent canvas for each of their styles to come through.

  • Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

    Jump

  • I am almost done with Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. It's weird, but I'm enjoying it.

  • [Epic via Prime] Marvel's Midnight Suns, card-based tactical RPG

    Jump

  • I had a blast with this one last year. Fun card battler with light social elements.

  • Are these queries equivalent?

    Jump

  • Aye, looking at the replies, I'm becoming aware that I left out a couple key assumptions I've made. Assuming:

    a) id is a PRIMARY KEY (or otherwise UNIQUE)

    b) I mean equivalent insofar as "the rows returned will contain equivalent data same (though maybe ordered differently)"

  • What Git clients do you use?

    Jump

  • I'm a big fan of tig for visualizing the graph and looking over history (then I don't need to leave the terminal, and it's snappier, in my experience, than most full-GUI programs like Sourcetree), but for actual Git commands, I like the CLI

  • PNG is back!

    Jump

  • I'm glad it is now. I remember a decade or so ago, I wrote an APNG decoder, so I was deep in the world of APNG.

    And I remember reading various things that made me think MNG was the 'more official' flavour of "animated PNG", and it was absurd to me, because APNG seemed like a much more approachable spec. I'm glad the winds have turned...

  • Lemme.ee is closing, where do I go. Only been here 12 days lol?

    Jump

  • One thing you should do is grab your data for easy moving, you haven't already.

    Assuming you're using the default Lemmy web UI (not Voyager, or Photon, or a mobile app, or whatever), click on your username in the top right, and select "Settings".

    On the settings page, there's a section called "Import/Export Settings". Click the "Export" button and let your browser download the file.

    Then, when you switch instances, you can go into the same Settings page on the new instance, select the file you downloaded, and hit "Import" and you will automatically be resubscribed to the communities you subscribed to.

  • How do I keep all the data I need in one single place for my website?

    Jump

  • If you aren't married to Hugo as your solution, I will recommend giving Eleventy.js a look.

    It's a static-site generator, but a good amount of flexibility is afforded by virtue of using pure JS to generate view data (which means that you can do any conversions needed, manually or with NPM packages if needed for more proprietary data formats), and it supports a bunch of templating engines too.

  • Firefox has moved onto Github

    Jump

  • I was about to reply with a "oh, really? Whoops, I maybe should I have looked a little deeper" and edited for the post title, but I'm not so sure, looking into the first link you posted.

    RE: phabricator...I don't know what that service is or is for, so I can't comment if there's any proof therein.

    But the "how to submit a patch" page linked has a section that seems to at least suggest that their Github repo is now first-class, per the first line of the section.

  • What is the deal with Yarn in a nutshell?

    Jump

  • So, there are a lot of words in the post that I'm not familiar with (LoRA, Oobabooga, CivitAI). However, I think those are details about the actual library or package you're looking at, so I will not touch any of that.

    I can strict answer the question "what is Yarn?"

    Long story short, it's a direct "competitor" to NPM (Node Package Manager). In the earlier days of Node and NPM, Yarn was an attempt to improve certain weaknesses perceived in NPM (including speed and security). Yarn is still used in many codebases, but it's become less popular over the years as NPM has resolved many of the things that Yarn sought to fix. Also, Yarn version 2 made a major design change which some have viewed as too radical (though I'm unclear on the details as I've only dabbled in v2).
