Why would you start a joke post with "this is going to sound really stupid"?

I don't. I'll share this technology, preferably with trustworthy competent people. At last, I'll probably figure out how that decision lead to my assassination.

Hidden horror movie (self.moviesuggestions)

Is there a movie where the horror is completely hidden in the details without any revelation? A movie that is only horror to those who repeat-watch it, pay extra close attention or simply give in to their paranoid doubts?

What are the best games that are not on big-name game stores like Steam, GoG, Epic, etc.? in c/[email protected]
[–] TheV2 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I haven't played it in a long time, but I always enjoyed Super Tux Kart. It reminded me more of the Moorhuhn / Crazy Chicken Kart games than Mario Kart. In general, before Steam Proton made Gaming on Linux almost free of any hassle, I spent more time with free and open source games like Nethack or Battle for Wesnoth that are available in many Linux package managers.

What's something you grieved for "too long"? in c/[email protected]
[–] TheV2 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's not really grief. Thankfully in my young life, I've yet not lost anyone, close to me, beyond my own decisions. But it takes me seconds to let go of people without ever expressing how much they mean to me. Then it takes me years or forever to let go of the thoughts.

What popular TV show did not do it for you and you quit watching? in c/[email protected]
[–] TheV2 7 points 1 month ago (4 children)

If I reduce it to the shows where I watched more than a few episodes:

  • La case de papel: The start of the second season quickly turned me off, because it seemed like everything just got bigger for the sake of it.
  • Vikings: I tried many times and I did always like it, but for some reason I never felt the urge to finish the first season.
  • Altered Carbon: It's already an exception that I watched the first season despite not loving it that much from the very beginning. Therefore I didn't even bother watching the second one. It's also one of these Netflix shows that suffers from sex sells overload.
  • Narcos: I think I stopped midway through the third season, simply because I wasn't interested in that kind of big action, although obviously I shouldn't have been surprised.

The 9th Movie (2024) (youtu.be)

Joel gathers his friends at a remote cabin to celebrate the completion of his latest feature film in his 12 features project.

This movie is part of Joel Haver's challenge to create 12 feature films in 12 months. I just watched it now and I think it's the most relatable, yet insane and perhaps one of my favorite movies of all time. So even if I might not feel the same way tomorrow, I have the urge to share it now.

Productivity vs muscle memory/knowledge (self.shell)
submitted 4 months ago by TheV2 to c/shell
11 comments fedilink
 

After a long time I'm in a situation where I sometimes work on a temporary system without my individual setup. Now whenever I might add a new custom (nushell) command that abstracts the usage of CLI tools, I think about the loss of muscle memory/knowledge for these tools and how much time I waste looking them up without my individual setup. No, that's not a huge amount of time, but just out of curiosity I'd like to know how I can minimize this problem as much as possible.

Do you have some tips and solutions to handle this dilemma? I try to shadow and wrap existing commands, whenever it's possible, but that's often not the case. Abbreviations in fish are optimal for this problem in some cases, but I don't think going back to fish as my main shell for this single reason would be worth it.

Terms for intentional anti-extensibility (self.programming)
submitted 4 months ago by TheV2 to c/programming
20 comments fedilink
 

Sometimes I create a solution to a simple problem. However instead of making use of the solution, I keep extending it unnecessarily. This is why for this kind of project, I want to systematically restrain my future self from adding new features beyond the initial vision e.g. by actively refusing generic and re-usable code.

What is the search engine friendly term for this approach or at least for this situation? "Ad-hoc programming" may be literally what I'm talking about, but in practice it's associated with unplanned happenings.

Fiction with recursive loop (self.books)
submitted 11 months ago by TheV2 to c/[email protected]
13 comments fedilink
 

Is there any kind of fiction where multiple stories are connected in a recursive loop? The connection could be a character who writes or narrates the story. e.g.

  • story A -> story B
  • story B -> story C
  • story C -> story A

Thanks in advance for any help!
