The snap version of Slack does not work with my setup, something is broken with the studio’s 2FA. I need to make the RPM version of Slack work. Here are the steps, so next time when I need to update Slack, I can find it here.
Download the RPM from the Slack website. Currently, it is slack-4.36.140-0.1.el8.x86_64.rpm.
Run the following bash commands:
sudo alien -g slack-4.36.140-0.1.el8.x86_64.rpm
cd slack-4.36.140
sudo emacs debian/control # change slack -> slack-im
sudo emacs debian/changelog # change slack -> slack-im
sudo fakeroot debian/rules binary
sudo dpkg -i ../slack-im_4.36.140-1.1_amd64.deb
I realized I don’t have some certain basic cables, for example just vanilla USB-A to USB-A. All different Zoo of cables, lightning to USB-A, USB-C to USB-A, some exotic ones like USB-C female to USB-A, some ancient ones Mini-USB to USB-A, some old ones Micro-USB to USB-A. I put everything upside down, I do not have USB-A to USB-A.
BTW, it is ☔ again.
TIL; I never noticed before that processes in Linux are 1-based. Wow! Actually, there is a process with a 0 PID but it is not listed, and init and kthreadd are children of that 0 PID process.
After last year’s LastPass incident and spending a week changing 400 passwords, I switched to Keepass. At least if something happened, the blame would only be on me.
I am going to get back to more active Twitch streaming. I feel like I forgot how to talk, and streaming will help me maintain that skill. 🙂
Hey, I have a very important question to address: does bunny hopping work in Minecraft?
Can someone invent candies that taste like candies, smell like candies, feel like candies, and also heal tooth cavities, keep you in shape, and maintain a moderate level of insulin?
I now understand the motivation to found OpenAI. Having open technology in the wild creates the status quo and ensures mutual safety, kind of like how multiple countries having nuclear bombs prevents the beginning of World War III. I do not understand, though, why Elon Musk did not make his X.ai (his new AI company) open. For example, Meta released weights of Llama, which OpenAI and X.ai should do.
Go Zuck!

The main selling point of the currency is that it is a limited resource, like gold. Then Bitcoin came, and my initial analysis was: yes, it can be a substitute for gold, it can be a new currency. Mining Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies becomes exponentially harder as the amount of currency in the system increases. This scarcity was Bitcoin’s initial selling point.
I missed the fact that we cannot make more Bitcoin, but we can relatively easily create new cryptocurrencies, such as Dogecoin, Ethereum, BNB, ADA, SOL, Ripple, DOT, LTC, LINK, XLM, UNI, AVAX, USDT, and XMR. Can you see where I am moving? It is very easy to create a new cryptocurrency, it is not a limited resource.
My conclusion: Cryptocurrency is another bubble, so you can ride the wave and collect some money from it, but don’t try to build something long-term.
I want to point scarcity is not only selling point for all cryptocurencies, for example smart contracts.
On my Bluetooth headphones, when I am trying to lower the volume and it comes close to 3%; it beeps really loudly in my ears. What was the thinking process of the designer of this feature?
A lot of people are leaving from paycheck to paycheck, and I don’t know what to do about it. Look, I have a can with candies on my desk; it is still almost full. And it has been on my table for about 2 months. And I love sweet stuff. Honestly, I wish I would be more impulsive; I probably would have more fun in my life.
If you’re feeling smart today, don’t write smart code because tomorrow you will need to understand it to maintain.
We need Without Music to add sounds to SORA creations now.
TIL; DELL company is named after the founder of the company, Michael Dell.
There are 3600 J in 1 Wh. Why? Why not just use Joules? The metric system is nice and simple, but we manage to overcomplicate it. Joules are fine; I cannot see the reason for Watt hours.
Modern consoles are not made for casual play. You did not play Xbox for half a year and casually decided to play for half an hour, after two hours of updates; you just… I probably better do something else.
I have got a LEGO set that said 3+, and I was able to assemble it only in two hours. (Dad’s joke)
There is a rule when you are assembling LEGO: LEGO is always right. And still, we have the doubt: what if they forgot to put the piece? Come on; we have so many assembled things (laptops, TVs, gaming consoles, smartphones) and not doubting, but if it is in disassembled state, we for some reason give the doubt that the machine will miss the piece. And now I am wondering how many electronics I owned in my life that was missing a screw or resistor.
The common explanation about why PCs took over other computing platforms is IBM’s brilliant open platform strategy. I feel that people are not telling the full story. Other success stories like GNU, Linux Kernel, Firefox, or Blender were much slower. RISC-V is still in its infancy.
Once in a while, I think I haven’t seen a post on Twitter from someone; what is going on? Then I go to the muted accounts, and for some reason, they are there. 🤷🏻 I am pretty sure I did not do it.
If you encounter a toxic person online, the beauty of the Internet is that you can mute, ban, unfriend, or unfollow them. Do it; it’s totally fine. Keep nice people around you. I wish I could do the same IRL
ChatGPT is my eye glasses because now I can C#. 🥁
(Did you get it? See sharp) 😂
I found a nice feature: picture-in-picture. It is nice to put the Twitch video in the corner of my 4K screen. One downside, it thinks I am not watching the video and downgrades the quality to 360p, and I do not know how to work around it.
