I make a backup of my project on an external hard drive twice-ish a week and pacman-Syu twice-ish a month. If anything serious happens, I’ll just reinstall and restore.

I could keep an up-to-date install USB ready, tho - but I have enough other options at the moment.

Thanks for the concern.

It works well enough for now. Some things were surprisingly simpler than I expected them to be (e.g. gaming thanks to Heroic Launcher and Steam).

Note for the Linux-curious potentially reading this: I had sufficient experience with Linux Mint and Ubuntu as well as test runs of Arch before committing to it. DO NOT SWITCH DIRECTLY TO ARCH LINUX FROM WINDOWS. Try Mint first (or Bazzite, I hear that one is great for gaming but have yet to try it myself), and preferably using VirtualBox before committing to a switch.

KDE on Arch, aesthetically pleasing and mostly functional out of the box. There are some startup quirks, but that’s likely due to my LUKS setup which I will change with the next re-install. Already tried to fix multiple times, it’s too much of a hassle to keep trying to fix an <5 minutes per day issue.

Fair enough

Will do, and will post about it here (programming@programming.dev) at some point!

I was considering starting a TUI engine project but am not sure there would be interest or need.

Okay, but protocols seem less easily usable than services (for example, Matrix vs Discord/Stoat)

“would you still love me if I was a credential thief?”

Parrots are cool tho

I think “stochastic parrot” is a terrible way to describe LLMs. (Not to mention most people don’t use the term “stochastic” a lot.)

“Slot machine autocomplete” might be a better choice.

for moths

I tried to resist, but I am drawn to this typo like a month to the flame

I get to say “I use arch btw” :P

(checks climate chart) …it’s not just you, unfortunately

My code works

Let’s change something and run it again

Meanwhile I basically see BSD as “another Linux”.

So he only used interpreter languages?
