eating plain rice as the whole meal is good for figuring out if you belong in a mental hospital

protip from someone who has had a bug problem before: for things like flour, baking mixes, and rice, freeze it for a day and that'll kill anything potentially living in it

not that stuff living in rice/etc is that common, but its better to freeze stuff than have to deal with forgetin weevils for a couple months

It's rice, you're not getting much protein from it anyway, just eat another protein with the rice. Also I'm assuming they're cooking jasmine rice, it helps remove starch and makes the rice fluffier and less porridge-like. Don't know if that applies to any other rice
but you wash away all the bugs that live in the rice. bugs are healthy for you, you should be eating those

upgraded my NAS a little bit. after i corrupted the zpool a few times by hotswapping the enclosure's USB between the raspberry pi status checker and my laptop, i decided to get a switch and network everything up instead. the raspberry pi controls the zpool, with access to it going from my laptop and my desktop. also got a free ethernet cable so i can upload software to my other project raspberry pi if i need to

the other day i was running some benchmarks (unixbench) on the various raspberry pi's i have, maybe some of you here might find it interesting:
raspberry pi 4: 474
raspberry pi 2: 382
raspberry pi zero: 74

for some reason, the parallel part of the test on the raspberry pi 4 just didn't happen, so that might affect its score. my laptop has a score of 3039 (i5-8400H @ 2.5GHz) as a frame of reference

i've been working on some projects on the raspberry pi 4 recently, and its fast enough to handle using a webapp through firefox while doing image processing (barcode scanning) in the background, so these things are actually like really powerful these days. my other raspberry pi 4 handles my NAS backup, and it can handle like 50-60 MiBps through ethernet. really loving these raspberry pi things

Nobody watches the superbowl when they have a house party for the superbowl.

All a superbowl house party is, is a bunch of cavemen gathering around a campfire and feasting, and whenever the fire flares then they all bang their clubs on the ground.
lmao this is one of the best posts on the forum

i don't mean to be aggressive or mean here, i just want to dispel some myths that are apparently going around about linux

Imagine having to forget around for an hour in the console to install python, java, or whatever code language
on my system, the keystroke i use to open my terminal is Win+Enter. so what i would do to install these languages is open up the terminal, and type
Code: [Select]
pacman -S python jdk-openjdk
and after accepting a few prompts, both python and java are fully installed on my computer. that's all there is to it. honestly, i find it a lot simpler than having to browse through someone's poorly designed website just to find a download (looking at you java)

an editor thats not as dogstuff as vi, vim or nano
i share the same sentiment. fortunately, there's tons of free or open sourced IDE's that you can get on your linux distro. i use visual studio code for my day to day programming work and it functions flawlessly for everything i throw at it. if you want a more fully featured IDE, i've used intellij before on my system and again it works pretty much flawlessly

a window manager
imo this is one of the pitfalls of linux. i've tried using a microsoft windows style desktop environment before (KDE plasma) and it sucked complete balls. rn i'm using i3-gaps which is really cool because you use keybinds to do anything you want on your system. i'm pretty good at memorizing keybinds and i always learn them for whatever software i'm using so i3-gaps works really well for me. i feel like it improves my productivity by a lot. however, for other users who want a more MS windows style experience, you might find that linux doesn't really provide a good alternative for it

an entire new filesystem
this is honestly the biggest non-difference between linux and windows. if you're using i3-gaps, install something like thunar and you can browse your files exactly as you do in windows explorer. more fully featured desktop environments will come with thunar or an equivalent file explorer by default. there is technically a difference between linux and windows filesystems, but the differences are so nuanced that you would have to be a super nerd to even know or notice the differences (like how ext4 or ntfs handles partitions or files and stuff like that)

a compiler
most linux OS's come with the GNU toolchain which is basically all you need for compiling most software

7 gojillion dependencies
can't speak for other package managers, but pacman sorts that out for you. should be noted that windows also has a ton of dependencies, they're just handled in the background just like any good package manager will do for you

literally just use windows and double click a .exe file to install an IDE and start
having a good package manager really changes the linux experience a lot. imo, apt is really difficult to use especially when installing some software where you need to add custom repos and stuff. i use pacman and the AUR which means that for 90% of the software i use, all i have to do is type a single command into the terminal and the software is installed for me with no problems. for the other 10% of the software, i do have to manually make it but that's usually bc i made my own modifications to that software

the thing about linux is that it is not at all supposed to be a operating system for the common user. i know i sound like a pretentious roosterhead for saying that but its honestly true. if you use linux you need to be prepared to set aside the one-time cost of learning how to use the terminal and learning how to install stuff correctly. stuff is non-intuitive by nature but that does not mean that the baby should be thrown out with the bathwater. i've been using linux for over a year at this point and if i went back to windows it would seriously harm my productivity bc there's just a ton of stuff that's way easier on linux. developing stuff on linux is a piece of cake, and installing required libraries and stuff for your software projects is just 1000x easier than windows from my experiences (i've had to compile DLL's for my software in the past for additional features. i've spent 10 hours on compiling just one before b/c i didn't have exactly the right setup needed for the DLL. on linux, compiling equivalent bullstuff is an absolute piece of cake - enter the terminal and just type make, and it'll work problem free 100% of the time). that being said, windows is also good for its own reasons. for instance, it has super good software support. you won't be finding anyone running photoshop on linux. the way i see it, pick the OS that you like the best and that best fits your wants and needs

college dorm setup that isn't too permanent. i have a desktop PC on the right (not shown) and i can switch my keyboard/mouse input to it with the little USB box to the right of the monitor, but i don't really use the desktop all too much these days

my dumb little NAS setup that i use for backups. i have a case for the raspberry pi coming in today so it'll look a lot better soon. 16 TB of raw storage in raidz2, with 10 TB usable. the raspberry pi monitors the zpool and lets me know in real time if there's any errors. it also keeps track of my backups and sorts them into different folders as necessary. the harddrive enclosure doesn't support ethernet out so it isn't a true 100% super awesome homelab setup but it was the cheapest enclosure i could find with this many drives so oh well. its USB 3 out which is giving me some challenges -- i have yet to find a USB 3 switch that i can use in order to connect both the raspberry pi and laptop at the same time

all the ricing i've done so far. got a really nice setup where i can do most of everything i want with a few keystrokes. a lot of my programming projects recently have actually been making my computer easier for me to use. really loving linux and the amount of freedom it gives me to make my workflow whatever i want
