@crunklord420 do you currently use xmpp? I have a weird problem where I use it on phone+pc with omemo and the phone cannot retrieve the history from the server, saying that the omemo decryption failed. I talked with the server admin as well, he has no clue other than that he also has this problem. I am using Conversations on phone and Gajim on PC.
@crunklord420 I want to host a website, but I want to keep my private details out of it. If I try to buy a domain name i get the option to also buy the option of anonymization. Is it worth it? is there any specific method you would suggest? I do not wish to open an LLC, and the website will not contain anything controversial. I just want my details out of it.
@crunklord420 returning to a convo a while back. I am thinking of launching a small personal website. Do you think I should just get a VPS for that or is it better to buy one of the N100 mini PCs?
@crunklord420 Do you know any self-hosted or distributed alternative to Zotero? What I need is a system to organize PDF files and to efficiently search through them. I want PDFs and the notes I make in them to be accessible from different devices and to potentially have multiple people working on them. But I do not want any syncing with 3rd party service. I think you can theoretically host Zotero yourself, but it's extremely difficult.
@crunklord420@Marvelous7578 If you buy a whole chicken then yes. I don't usually bother buying a whole chicken with a carcass for that reason.
regarding using fat as cooking grease, I tried cooking with fat. It gives a nice taste to it, but I found that I don't want to cook always with the fat just because I don't want to have that taste constantly.
Is your reason for all of this primarily to spend less money on food or to change the diet to make it more healthy?
@crunklord420@Marvelous7578 I don't know. I myself avoid buying supplements since I don't trust anything and I am not sure what exactly it does. To reiterate, I never found much sense in cooking a bone broth. yes it does seem cool, I considered it, but at the end of the day I decided that making stew is just as good. What is the reason that you want bone broth?
Regarding joints etc., the general advice I give is not to overdo things. When you watch videos, get into the fitness topic you kind of get the desire to minmax, but if you take a step back I think it's pretty pointless.
@Marvelous7578@crunklord420 I don't personally have that much of a good experience with bone broths and prefer just making stews in slow cookers. I know that bone broth is different, but I never really found the point of making it.
@crunklord420 Idk, for my tax stuff i always use just the plain libreoffice, but it depends how much manipulations you do. I do very little, so I don't need anything more for that.
My usage for python currently is really for inspecting lots of measurement datasets and experimenting with them. Trying to plot various columns against each other, changing stuff etc. I honestly don't see it working in Rust fast. But maybe I am just too used to Python.
I would say I see Python at the moment as a rough prototyping tool and once you figure out what exactly you want, you can code it in a decent language.
@crunklord420 But objectively, plotting stuff fast is easiest in python for me. Say you get a weird CSV data which you need to cut into pieces, inspect, plot specific rows/columns. You are not going to get same type of CSV data in the future, so it doesn't make sense to write a program that cuts the same rows/ columns. what tool would you use?
@crunklord420 I am actually really enjoying minmaxing in C and making the programs run blazingly fast. It's a good feeling when you can really use your PCs resources efficiently.
@crunklord420 I was experimenting with it these two days. I actually opted for a different approach. Gnuplot allows to plot histograms, but you can pre-calculate a histogram by yourself in C beforehand. that way, if you have 100 000 datapoints you can reduce the number to whatever you want the bin amount to be and then feed that to gnuplot. this seems to be much better approach, although to be honest the speed of matplotlib of python is still close to it. Remember you once said you don't really know anything that python does better? I still think for a quick data visualization and manipulation it is the best tool atm.
@crunklord420 yeah i thought about it. cant find a way to do it though. i have just a binary data file and i basically pipe it in gnuplot using fprintf one number at a time. the speed penalty comes because i have like 100k data points. it is a histogram, so i have to do it one number at a time, there are no x and y pairs.
@crunklord420 I am trying to do some statistics in C. I usually used python, but want to try in C. I used Gnuplot to pipe data to it and plot, but it is significantly slower than using Python libraries. Do you have an idea how to make it faster?
@crunklord420 Yeah that's because imo they started making CRPGs too tedious. The problem is that they are so annoyingly long that you don't see yourself playing it the second time, hence you have the need to minmax from the getgo.
@crunklord420@0 Yeah my impression about PGP/GPG is that it is a fascinating tech and implementation, but in practice it is not (yet) very sensible for general use. I guess it would be cool if people started identifying themselves with pgp signatures instead of putting their fucking face and phone number everywhere.
