The hardest problem in computer science is avoiding the temptation to imagine a more interesting problem to solve instead of the one someone is asking for help with
Heya everyone! I am starting a new job in Munich on the first of March. For this, I am looking for a room to stay in for a few weeks, probably up to three months, while I look for an apartment.
I am already in contact with a few private landlords, but if someone has a spare room to offer, I would love to take that instead.
- I'm able to pay for rent and utilities
- I would appreciate being able to register at the address
Boosts are welcome!
Them: Any plans for the new year?
Me: I going to get some new glasses.
Them: And after that?
Me: After that, we鈥檒l see.

I'm doing #AdventOfCode in Kotlin this year, we'll see how far I'll get, this December looks busy again.

here's what I would love: an SD card image I can flash and put in a pi that turns it into a demoscene jukebox where it just runs thru random "best of" playlists forever, maybe some minimal controls for skipping around
here's my understanding of why that won't work: most demoscene works target x86 windows specifically so ARM linux is incompatible for multiple reasons
here's a cheesy workaround I don't want to do: yt-dlp some playlists resulting in many many gigabytes of video files; this just feels wasteful and antithetical to everything the demoscene stands for
here's a potential workaround: instead of a pi, run it on an old thinkpad running linux? would wine cut the mustard on this or are demos typically more exacting than it can achieve? is it realistic to accomplish this without involving windows at all? (I know I could if we were talking about emulating C64 or amiga or whatever but I want 4k stuff too) does this exist?

Been playing with k3s since last night. I now have an irc bouncer (quassel) running on my (single node) cluster.

OK, so I've been a happy ansible user for many, many years for my personal infrastructure.
I know ansible 5 is kinda old, but it still worked (seems to work with Python up to 3.11). But my Arch box now has 3.12 and it won't work.
So here's a little yak shaving adventure:
- Do I have nix-pkgs installed? No
- Ah, my Debian WSL box has 3.11, so I can sync the files over and provision a box, fine, but I don't love this
- Can I run ansible in a python:3.11 docker container? Yeah, but to avoid some copying I read e.g. $HOME/.ssh/id_....pub for authorized_keys
- Let's try ansible 11, how incompatible can it be?
- I'm giving up after 7 tries because "include: otherplaybook.yaml" seems to be very different and I hate all the errors it's giving me
It's been a good run, maybe I should just find another tool.
