Finished doing the basic eval of bunsenlabs Linux. Homebrew mod of Debian 8. The raw X11 installer leaves a lot to be desired. The base install is *barely* usable. TLDR: install Mint if you want a decent debian-based distro.

<AOL> Me Too! </AOL>

But seriously, so glad to hear I'm in such good company. :)

I just learned enough javascript to hack together a dynamic input form that lets me change the password length limit on an account management form depending on the target pulldown, and do some basic input validation / strength checking on the submitted password.

I know it's trivial for some - but I've been struggling to get something like this in place for a while now.

Go me.

Q: Mr. Hannity, can you tell us what Trump's cock taste like? Is it true it's akin to an orange creamsicle? Or did he make you sign an NDA too?
A: No Comment.

@XenonFiber
I usually do something like this : avoids some of the dopey stuff cat and echo do to string inputs:

$ /path/to/script<<EOF
input1
input2
input3
EOF

@Devils_Rancher Absolutely the chill tones I needed tonight. That is beautiful.

Now ...

Pick your flavour - these are the stations I RNG my way through - there are more, in different formats and bandwidths. Check the soma.fm website to see if there are others you might dig. https://www.wiccat.net/files/somafm.xspf

@nobody If you're using a network-aware device I've found that a soma.fm channel playist put on shuffle, usually finds a groove (space station, secret agent, suburbs of goa, etc) that works for me. Have a prebuilt list if you're interested.

Fuck your commercial advertisements in timelines. They get you insta-blocked and put on my fuck-you-forever no-business list.

Early thoughts about AER:
* Linux port broken video detector causes black-screen hang at startup (forum post solved)
* Flight controls need in-game explanation, especially since this is game-critical transport. Spent much time flying straight down / lost in clouds. (forum post solved)
* Once you get past initial issues - it's a pretty, mostly open-world, setup w/puzzles that don't require being a mensa asshole to work out. Fun!
* Cleared the first temple and certain I missed stuff.
* Recommend

AER - I am in you ...

Blame is squarely on @krumbukt

@krumbukt

Old-school "Explorer" type gamer here. These days if a game isn't Linux-native, or at least wine-friendly, I don't play it. Wintendos are for chumps. ;p

AER looks like an Explorer's wet-dream come true. It's pretty, and looks open-world enough that I'm going to be stress-testing those limits. ;)

Once I'm not the on-call, I'll be firing this up. Might even use it to stress-test my new T430, once I decide which distro I'm gonna run on it. :)

@krumbukt

Dunno how I don't know about this game already. It's exactly the kind of thing I love playing. Never showed up in any of my Discovery Queues.

All five Steam Keys have already been taken, but that's cool - as I'm probably going to buy it anyway.

Hannity's favourite dessert must be orange creamsicles. He's obviously swallowed so many of them
