I found the original blog post more educational.

Looks like these may be typosquats, or at least “namespace obfuscation”, imitating more popular packages. So hopefully not too widespread. I think it’s easy to just search for a package name and copy/paste the first .git files, but it’s important to look at forks/stars/issue numbers too. Maybe I’m just paranoid but I always creep on the owners of git repos a little before I include their stuff, but I can’t say I do that for their includes and those includes etc. Like if this was included in hugo or something huge I would just be fucked.

I’m starting to think it’s something super specific to the particular hugo theme I’m using and how it wants users to insert custom js/css to get it all baked down into the right place in the final output. I’ll keep bashing on it, thanks for your help!

Edit: OK this is kind of hilarious considering the community I posted to, but I actually think it works fine but something about my Librewolf setup is breaking it. It works fine in Firefox and Chrome, and since I jump around between them as I work I just happened to test in Librewolf right as I made this change. Not to get too far into the weeds but I think I’m going to just go ahead with not linking cloudflare. Thanks again.

Thanks fixed. Interesting jerboa and the web version of lemmy are developed by the same person but using the “code” button in the web frontend only uses one backtick. That might be worth a bug report.

I’m actually trying to get away from github also, so maybe codeberg pages instead? This is a part of the process I haven’t done enough research into, I wanted to get the static site working locally first then “shop around” for hosts.

OK, looks like the image paths are correct. It’s something about the JS that fades them in. If I toggle the opacity property on/off then suddenly it works fine, until I refresh, so something funky is going on there. At least I know the structure is correct hugo-wise so it’s just a matter of tracking down the fade-in issue.

The issue seems to be with how hugo renders everything down into a /public directory. Somehow this is breaking the static images Lightbox uses to do prev/next/close. It’s a small issue and I’m sure the fix is something dumb, it just wasn’t obvious to me (the images appear to be correct). But sounds like it’s worth just debugging it…

Something about how hugo is cooking everything down into a /public directory is breaking the overlay images (like the next/prev arrow). I’m sure I can track it down but since I’m pretty inexperienced this will take me some time (at cursory glance all the paths seemed good, so I’m not sure why it’s broken).

I would also prefer to host it myself so maybe I should just do this…

Sorry I meant to say MPV, on linux here.

I had the same issue, but mpc mpv worked.

Could you find room for a 20L water can or two? Many are “stackable”. That will be more important than a big food cache. The main point isn’t “doomsday prep” its for anyone who is able to hold out for a few days. That gives emergency services the space to rescue the truly desperate first.

It’s the same as learning anything, really. A big part of learning to draw is making thousands of bad drawings. A big part of learning DIY skills is not being afraid to cut a hole in the wall. Plan to screw up. Take your time, be patient with yourself, and read ahead so none of the potential screw-ups hurt you. Don’t be afraid to look foolish, reality is absurd, it’s fine.

We give children largess to fail because they have everything to learn. Then, as adults, we don’t give ourselves permission to fail. But why should we be any better than children at new things? Many adults have forgotten how fraught the process of learning new skills is and when they fail they get scared and frustrated and quit. That’s just how learning feels. Kids cry a lot. Puttering around on a spare computer is an extremely safe way to become reacquainted with that feeling and that will serve you well even if you decide you don’t like Linux and never touch it again. Worst case you fucked up an old laptop that was collecting dust. That is way better than cutting a hole in the wall and hitting a pipe.

Yeah it’s technically better (crisper, higher res, etc) but the visual language is totally different and IMO worse. That fire just doesn’t look as hot, for example.

Lighting as an art form is highly coupled with the given tech. Something as small as just changing the shadow method can require artists relighting a whole game. My guess is they aren’t doing this or maybe are pushing the stark lighting the same way depth of field, colored lights, lens flares etc got juiced in previous generations.

That’s always wrong. The tech should service the art, not the other way around.

At this point let’s just go back to manually using command line GPG/PGP.

The fix is now published (see “Assets” section): https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/releases/tag/v0.23.2-beta

KDEnlive is improving, however Resolve is still more powerful and mature. That said, DaVinci’s business model seems precarious. It feels like they could, at any moment, enshittify Resolve and force users into a subscription just to maintain access to old edits. I think for that reason KDEnlive is better for almost all users. If you are a professional filmmaker then the color and vfx workflows of Resolve are probably worth paying for, but in that case it’s probably a FinalCut vs Resolve question anyway.

My great, great Grandma was an illegal immigrant from a country that no longer exists and a city that is now in Poland, though she spoke and considered herself German. So where would I go, modern Germany? Poland? Neither would take me. So probably just sent to die at a work camp.

This reminds me of the Blaster Worm back in the early 2000s. Infected users had to patch their PC without the internet, because connecting is what would cause you to reboot (so many PCs were infected it was basically instant). I worked at a computer store and we burned a bunch of patch CDs and were giving them out like hotcakes. My boss decided to slap a price tag on them for a day or two but we convinced him the good will was worth the cost and he eventually made it free again. People were fucking pissed off and handing out the free CD made them very grateful.

That sounds like a “premultiplied alpha” issue. Although I’m not familiar with this specific workflow, I always suspect premultiplied alpha issues when there’s a halo like that. If there’s an option try toggling it.

Plenty of choices out there…

Not for me unfortunately. There’s a number of businesses with zero online presence. They maybe have a facebook page with one entry congratulating Becky’s son Roger for graduating with the class of 2015, and that’s how you find the phone number. It’s like the 90s again, except there’s no phone book now. I don’t understand it. These guys must be making a living purely off the business they get at church.

The guy who dug my well asked why I decided on him specifically and I said, “Honestly? You’re the only one who returned my call.” I asked him why guys with a lease on a million dollar drill rig wouldn’t return calls and he wasn’t sure.

I really didn’t want to interface with Facebook at all but, fuck me. I have to join the Ruritan Club, or some shit, just to find an electrician.

Yeah, disappointing.

I ended up making a burner account for this. I used a proton mail address and a plausible but fake name. My vpn kept getting flagged for special review where they, I shit you not, want you to send in a photo of a government ID. Eventually I found a VPN server that, for whatever reason, got passed this.

Then I spent 15 minutes hiding and locking every privacy setting I could find because I really didn’t want to be shown to other people as a potential “friend”.

I use the account just to monitor local emergencies and whatnot. An infuriating amount of local businesses and services only use facebook.
