Day Six - The Final Countdown

Good evening to all those who are following the blog. Thank you for taking the time to keep yourself up to date and engaged with the event as it has progressed over the last week. I have to say that it has been a bit of a mixed bag, on the one hand it has been my best event ever in terms of production, but on the other hand I have been struggling of late. The good news is that today has been a pretty great day for me and has been highly productive and most importantly, enjoyable. It has been ver

Day Five - A Productive Day

Well here we are, after the interruption of yesterday and my unexpected need to join a friend at the hospital I am once again here to give you a blog post. I'll be honest that I haven't been happy with my blog posts for this event, they have been lacklustre. For me, life is challenging, between struggling with chronic pain, a wide range of mental health struggles and a general feeling of discontent in life atm has been a real struggle for me lately. It is one of those things that I don't often t

Day Three - The Top Two is 50%

Well, here we are, Right now I am on a group VC that includes the one and only @Shlouski !!! He is a solid gent and on top of that is enjoying number one.    As already stated we have the number one man taking the number one spot, Shlouski takes pole position with 284,294,137 points, and I have to say it is looking like Mxyzptlk is not going to be able to compete in the slightest, this is not to say he is doing badly by any stretch, taking the second rank with 256,294,165 points.

Day Two - The Podium Sprints

Well here we are on day two already, it is nice to see some people hitting their stride, but I'm noticing a reduction in production overall. So what say you guys, will you heed the call to produce all you can, or will you do the bare minimum to get by?    Let's fire through these real quick, as I'm exhausted, Shlouski takes the first place as expected but with a great production rate for the day, taking the pole position with a highly impressive 173,798,454 points. Mxyzptlk wasn't too

Day One - And They're Off

Well, this has come around much faster than I was anticipating, I'll be honest this will be a low-effort event, between the few sign-ups and my own personal issues going on atm I must say that I won't be the best of hosts.    But nonetheless, here we are, Summer Folding Sprint 2023. It is a little bit crazy to me to think that we are here, and with so few participants, which may be a reflection of running so soon after the BOINC event and I may have to look into changing the dates arou

Linux Archives for beginners/ tar basics

with the comming of new linux users , and the existance of many chatrooms and more importantly many use `tldr` wich is much faster and easier to get what you need from then using the man pages. even moreso when many distros dont even set up the defaults so the manpagers are colored and are just a big sea of white text . i see many who dont actually know how to use the tar command and stuff like: help me im doing : tar fxcz somefile.tar.bz2 and it gives an error help me im doing

Bash Aliasses (update:changed gio trash to trash-cli)

Some of you might have notice that when you run gio trash inside a bind-mounted folder, it fails with:   theirs seems no fix for this in term s of gio trash, however , trash-cli has no problem doing this, its not as versatile as gio, (only does trashing|restoring|cleaning) but it does trashing really well,     so i changed the aliasses in my bashrc alias file to this command.

Social media from the perspective of a partial outsider

I do have a mostly inactive Instagram profile, and a reddit account but that's about it. Still every day I see lots of people spend hours on their screens browsing either instagram (mostly the reels function) as well as TikTok. Honestly I get how someone could spend hours on a screen (I am doing that right now) but like, those two are completely different. This forum is a peaceful text board while the TikTok feels much more hyperactive of sorts. Basically all posts have either that one annoying

I'm tired of ChatGPT stuff

Honestly wherever I go I see these stupid posts about ChatGPT. Bunch of people that didn't know about OpenAI's api that has existed for years now are suddenly amazed by a lobotomised chatbot. It's not hating on trendy things, I am just genuinely tired of it.

Redemption for a Remaster.. (RDR1 as RDR2 DLC)

HI WWW First some music:     I was going to write about MR-VR headsets.. but this thought about RDR has been rattling around in my head for a long time partner.   Some Background The fanbase cried out, like wolves far from the night campfire.. for RDR1 on PC, but near going on ten years..

Thoughts on the Filmora controversy

As someone with a reputation for catching onto things pretty late, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that it took me a week to hear about the whole ordeal with Filmora 12 and lifetime licenses. For those of you even more out-of-touch than me, here’s a brief summary:   Until 2020, Filmora (a video editing software you probably know for their infinite amount of search engine optimization articles claiming that it’s the perfect software for everything and it’ll make your estranged relative

I've had it with YouTube Shorts

I don't use YouTube on my iPhone very often, and when I do, I'm almost always terrified by what awful new features they've added that'll inevitably be even more detrimental to the user experience when they end up on the desktop site. YouTube Shorts was and still is a perfect example. Now, before we get into the meat of this rant burger, (wow, I refuse to believe I'm even capable of writing such an awful sentence.) I want to go over precisely why vertical video is an awful thing that real

So here we are, just two days left of the event and it is looking like we aren't going to see any major last minute upsets this event like those of the kind we have seen in previous events.    miker07 is sitting on the throne with 3,495,956,728 points, he is doing incredibly well, seeing almost three and one half billion points so far, we will have a new high score. But as with all high scores, it will be beaten... maybe sooner, maybe later, but it will someday be topped. Shlouski is
