The Arch Wiki really is an incredible resource, regardless of what distro you’re running. Just got my video drivers setup correctly (I think) by just following the guide and the pages it took me to. #RTFM
Statuses
New Thinkpad T470 installed with base Arch Linux and ready to rice it up.
Finally playing the original Red Dead Redemption (haven’t played sequel yet either)
Really loving the O.G. game.
I just successfully submitted my first test-driven package to the PHP packagist repository. It’s just a little Laravel validation rule object for validating a hmac hash against a configurable group of key / value pairs.
Am aiming to do a proper write up and possibly even a little video explaining it.
Just watched the Episode โHereโs Neganโ in The Walking Dead. Beautiful and Heartbreaking. @JDMorgan is incredible to watch.
Hillcrest, Grounded mode, in just over 2 minutes.
Taking my first steps with YunoHost (Y U No Host) for most of my online needs. After a couple of false starts it seems to be coming together.
You know what? Fuck Google. Just when I think I couldn’t hate them more. Exporting my previous uploaded music (about 100gb worth) from their Play Music service. Do they put the songs into Artist / Album folders?
Nope.
Instead they package it up into 54 zipped folders and stick random songs along with loads of csv files with dumb stats in.
Seriously.
Now I’ll have to write a little script to read the song meta data and organise into folders myself.
I’ll share the script once it’s done and tested.
Having a cat is so awesome. Wouldn’t change it for the world.
