"If it doesn't have a keyboard, I feel that my thoughts are being forced out through a straw." - http://joey.hess.usesthis.com/
-
@windigo man I feel that way even with a keyboard. I need some kinda neural interface to express myself accurately. And that shit scares me
-
You know, I'm not big on stuff like piercing and tattoos... but if I could get a keyboard controller embedded in my body, I'd be down. :)
-
He could be x1101 of x1111 - his whole family already has the designation thing down! :)
-
@windigo if this were a thing, I would have one. http://ur1.ca/ar0mj
-
@windigo wow, dude is pretty hardcore.
-
I know - but it's also the total of possible numbers in the nibble. Your baby can be x1111 of x1111, like 10 out of 10. See?
-
Yeah, the more I read into his bio the more I like him. Also on Identica: http://identi.ca/joeyh
-
I just feel bad for your 2nd kid, who gets stuck with x0000. :D
-
@x1101 if that were a thing, I think it'd be worthwhile to get a few more characters on there and do something less boring than the time :)
-
He's a Debian developer. Works on the installer. Also behind http://cut.debian.net/ and a lot of other cool stuff.
-
Man, the more I learn about this guy, the more he's earning an official designation of "cool dude" in my book. :)
-
@kevingranade nah, thats the other arm, and it would be a SN/RSS/eBook reader.
-
@gomerx Oh, I didn't realise that CUT was actually a real thing now. I just remember there being discussions about it. Cool!
-
If I recall correctly he kind of looks like a Viking, too. Nothing wrong there.
-
Well, they post the installers. I don't believe there's been any change in packaging policy. That's a lot bigger deal.
-
Hive overflow, perhaps? Sounds messy. :P
-
@gomerx Hmm, I'm wondering how it exactly differs from testing proper. I guess I should just read that web page :-)
-
I tried alternative coffee and chocolate days but that didn't work. sticking to one cup of coffee/day now (with some rare exceptions)
-
Subscribed.
-
The want to keep non-working packages out of testing. Which defeats the purpose of testing. Personally I find testing stable enough.
-
@marjoleink I take tea in the morning, two cups of coffee in the day, and tea and/or hot cocoa in the evening :-)
-
@gomerx Yeah, I'm on testing myself right now. I usually switch from stable to testing around the time that testing gets frozen.
-
That's my strategy as well. They make CUT a special repo that tracks known good versions of packages. That might work.
-
I was wrong. My strategy is ususally to move to the next testing a month or so after testing goes stable.
-
@gomerx tht's pretty much what i do, well perhaps not as much as a month ;-)
-
It's a good time to switch since stable and testing are nearly in sync. Then you get to enjoy the flood of new stuff after freeze. :)
-
@gomerx that flood is fun :-)
-
It's about as exciting as Debian gets.
-
@gomerx Yeah, I bet testing is really shaky just after a release and a lot of new stuff start pouring in.
-
@gomerx I always vow to stick with stable until next release, but then I need some new library or something and switch around freezing time.
-
There's a lot of new stuff, but usually it's had time to settle down during the freeze. So it's not too disruptive.
-
@gomerx Outside of the mailing list flame wars.
-
I'm not on any Debian mailing lists. I should get organized enough to start reading mailing lists again.
-
Stable is fine for servers, but I see no reason to use it as a desktop distro unless you really, really need stability. It gets pretty old.
-
@gomerx I just read them when I have popcorn I need to use up.
-
@gomerx I was following several mailing lists, but then rss/status.net/irc traffic grew to fill my "keeping up with things" time
