maybe it's power spikes, seems like that's just a thing GPUs do these days? and this 650W PSU is from my first ever build which is a few years ago, might be worth upgrading to a more efficient one anyways

passing of a legend (CW: death) 

saddened to learn of the passing of Bram Moolenaar, the creator of vim. Ideas from ed(1) became em(1), becoming ex(1)/vi(1), which led to stevie that Bram made into Vim. He was always gracious and approachable on the vim mailing lists,

So we join with his family in remembering his life and celebrating his legacy.

Fortnite crashes my whole computer, I was thinking it's the GPU overstressing my power supply but I can't replicate it with Furmark + Cinebench and the GPU power limit raised by 20% so 🤷

Hey y'all today (Aug 4) it is Bandcamp Friday ( isitbandcampfriday.com/ ) which means if you buy music on Bandcamp today the artists will get just a little bit more money and Epic Games (who owns Bandcamp) will get none at all.

If you want suggestions of what to buy, here's a running recommendations thread/megapost I've been keeping since 2020:

mastodon.social/@mcc/109803030

Also, I will make it easy for you: The song you want to buy is here. It is called "Face Stabber" ohsees.bandcamp.com/track/face

I like the idea of Element/Matrix much more than I like actually using it

every time I see the Dead Island: Definitive Edition Steam artwork I go "oh hey it's Jerma"

biking is also more fun than sport to me but my bike needs some work before a big trip, it's very rainy rn and there's hills here that make it less fun unless you have a good transmission

did a solid bit of swimming yesterday (it's the one sport that doesn't really feel like sport for me) and I barely feel it today which either means I'm getting used to it or I'm gonna be double destroyed tomorrow

Apple Music put this in one of my playlists and it's so good youtu.be/MQlUS3YhmX8

really funny that they "leak" it by letting Laura play the thing with (almost) zero explanation or context

there's a secret "Directer's Cut" version of Vampire Survivors and it's wild youtu.be/w_to11ysf18

I've received my first sample from the commercial run of Glasgow Interface Explorer glasgow-embedded.org for evaluation

it is *beyond excellent*. it exceeds any standard I could possibly have for it. the team (1bitSquared and everyone else who collaborated) working on it deserves the highest praise

if you use gBoard (or maybe other soft keyboards on Android? I bet it's in the AOSP one too), selecting a line of text and hitting the shift key will change its capitalization all at once, which is great for deciding to ALL-CAPS something post-writing or using Title Case For Dramatic Effect

Does anyone know any alternative to postman? I just need the scratchpad functionality but I can't find their supposed replacement for it (the "lightweight client") and also for some reason the software is a massive CPU hog on my new work machine

:boost_ok: does anyone have a broken Nintendo DSi or DSi XL lying around? (preferably in Europe for shipping reasons)

I need a few more consoles to do the following:

* sand/polish down each layer of the PCB and image them
* document all the testpoints on the DSi XL PCB (which are, unlike the regular DSi's, not properly labeled)
* document the last few remaining unknown pins of the CPU-TWL SoC

this is of course destructive, so that's why I don't want to do this with still-working consoles
