  • Even depends on what kind of work

    Besides graphic suites, where Adobe still holds strong, and some specific stubborn companies only pushing windows tools to configure some hardware, I don’t see that many work related things being a problem.

    Most stuff is office, mail and else often just browser based stuff

    We’re getting more and more into niche territory, where Linux can’t keep up - and even there, it’s not Linux’ fault

    I say, we have a golden year of the Linux desktop ahead of us!!!
    And I should know, I keep telling that since 20 years ;⁠-⁠)








  • Arch is great in my opinion

    I’m not sure, if it was just my young age/experience with Debian, but now with Arch I could always save a system. With apt I sometimes preferred a complete re-install.

    I actually really like Arch(& Arch based systems).

    If that is the public opinion with C++ and Arch, I’ll need to re-evaluate my masochistic tendencies, it seems

    Yeah, well…

    It’s currently about my wife and me too understand things, when we’re laid out on the couch

    So, there is no real center position or the real possibility of us both wearing headphones.

    It just can’t be, that movies aren’t made to be consumed on a local TV (rofl, auto correct wanted to make THC out of it ;⁠-⁠))
    Anyway, there must be a solution to consume current media somehow, and still understand the probability miserable dialogues, while still being able to allow for effects of a bomb, without alarming my neighbours

    For real now, who the fuck has the setup and possibilities to actually follow a current movie?


  • And I fucking love it

    I hate java with a passion, C# was fun (but at that time only available through the .Net nightmare) and I grew up with (Turbo ;⁠-⁠)) Pascal and C

    So, I’m feeling rather comfortable and at home with C++

    I’d like to do a bigger project in Rust once at least, but with my current project already the compile times are between 20/25 to 45mins (depends, if you have the build server available or if you need to make up with the IPC).
    so, I guess, those iterations would become even longer with Rust

    But I’m also having the advantage, that my applications are running very, very isolated. So I don’t really need to take care about exposure and attacks.

    Still… Finding a memory leak or some shared memory fuck up is everything but fun…

    Especially as most of the logic runs in kernel space and debugging possibilities are mostly reduced to traces/log files

    Still, I love it
    Maybe it’s because of the thrill ;⁠-⁠)

    My business trips aren’t that fancy

    I am physically exhausted after spending some weeks, practically without a free day, in a fucking warehouse

    I’m always just so happy to be home again and have all the stuff I’ve wanted to do, that I dreamed up during suffering on site.
    But I’m too exhausted to actually do anything…

    Still, the first night is always the best

    Came home last time, after working with a fever/flu again, and just wanted to drop dead.
    But the euphoria of being home again keeps me going for the first night.
    Which pretty much means, I’ll have a few beers and talk with my wife.
    Can’t do anything reasonable, but I really enjoy those few hours

    Even getting back late from a business trip, the first night (or whatevers hours are left) are the best part
    I’m happy to be at home and I’m finished for the day

    The days afterwards can even be kinda work free (only doing minor things like accounting and stupid shit like that), but if the stress falls away, I’m usually getting sick and the body demands it’s time to recover
    First night though is one of celebration

    Uff, thanks for the input, but that sucks

    Was hoping for rather simple fix, because current movies aren’t actually watchable at home
    Even in the cinema, the sound effects are turned up to 11, and sometimes the actors still whisper and can be hardly understood

    At least most blockbusters don’t even have a real story to follow anyway…

    I was thinking, that this is a problem for stereo setups, because movies are mixed for 5.1/7.1

    Was thinking to get a soundbar, but if I can fix this in a configuration on the TV, that would be cheaper.
    What should I look for?
    I’ve already played around with different audio options on the TV, but it didn’t really help - or was better for one movie, but not for the next thing…
