  • This is trippy, I didn’t know Starship was a thing. JFC, I feel like I’ve been living under a rock. I’m reading up on it on their site, and I’m impressed by the range of shell support and customizable options.

    This is gonna be really helpful for me, especially for work… I’m constantly switching between several perpetually-open terminal windows used for different things, and it’s real easy to confuse what local dir I’m in and/or what repo/branch I’m connected to. I didn’t realize I needed this in my command line. Thank you for posting this!









  • the song will abruptly stop playing at about the 1 quarter mark (only skipping the song or restarting will fix)

    You aren’t the only one to report halted playback in Navidrome. It appears to be a known open issue that goes back a few years.

    One user in particular suggested last fall that the source of the bug may not be Navidrome’s fault. Are you using a reverse proxy?

    For those that are still struggling with this issue, I can confirm that (in my case) the problem was related to the HTTP/3 QUIC protocol (not a Navidrome issue). As suggested by a few others in this thread, the issue can be addressed by ensuring that your reverse proxy supports and is configured for HTTP/3 QUIC, or by turning off the QUIC protocol on the client side (browser configuration), or by disabling HTTP/3 (with QUIC) feature on Cloudflare.





  • I picked up Tekworld #1 eons ago, back when I was a young voracious comic book collector and would buy anything off the “New” shelf. I never bothered to read it…I figured it couldn’t be worse than TJ Hooker, but it appears I was terribly mistaken. I’m sorry I contributed to this shitty franchise, I thought it would be worth a fortune when I got old (it’s not).

    Also, wrt:

    I’m not sure how thankful I should be that someone made William Shatner’s TekWar more accessible to me, but at least I didn’t struggle with PGUP and PGDN to move my virtual neck.

    Yeah, thank your lucky stars that gaming with a mouse became a fuckin thing, because hitting PGUP and PGDN to pan up & down sucked back then too.




  • Zip drives were a must have for graphic design students in its heyday. They were relatively affordable (around $150 USD for the drive, $10 per disk iirc) and had a capacity of 100 Megabytes per disk, which was sorta shitty for removable storage even then but good enough for design project assets. There was little else commercially available at the time that was affordable and allowed you to easily port files between home/work/school, so they were everywhere in certain circles in the late 90s, particularly in design.

    They were flimsy and unfortunately kinda unreliable, though, so if you heard the dreaded “click of death,” it meant your disk was hosed. They eventually started selling 250 MB drives, and I remember there was the “Jaz” drive whose disks could hold 1 GB, but by then I think people were just done with Iomega’s shit. I didn’t know anyone that owned a frickin Jaz drive. When USB thumb drives became a thing around the turn of the millennium, Zip drives pretty much disappeared overnight. Good fuckin riddance, they sucked.
