Wait til you see "Copy paste your entire resume into this tiny plaintext input box." Lmao

Lol when a used car salesman is fired for being too dishonest, he becomes a recruiter as a fallback.

Wouldn't mind those sweet tunes coming back though.

We've come full circle to downloading and running things with titles like:

For quite a few years now I've practiced Capoeira!

I picked it because it was unique and interesting. Is it a fighting style? A dance? A game? Yes, actually! ;)

The philosophy of using it as a means to obtain freedom and an expression of such really resonated with me. Also, culturally, there's just so much depth there.

...But also I like to tell people "It's one of the only martial arts you can really show off at dance parties." Lol

I actually teach it now. Most of my lifestyle involves a chair and glowing computer screen, so I wanted to look after my health and be able to move in really cool ways! :)

Capoeira for self defense: I'll be the first to say, if you want the most efficient, quickest way to beat up a human being as soon as possible...this is probably not it.

BUT it's quite a challenge on your cardiovascular system and you learn to move and flow in really neat tricky ways, which can be valuable to any martial artist or fighter. Over time, you almost learn to mind-read the other player, and even manipulate them into traps.

A Capoeirista with a solid grasp of the art knows when a movement is practical to defend themselves, vs. just for fun in a game, but a perk of training cartwheels and handstands is that "A capoeirista is never upside-down." We can land on our hands and feet with equal confidence, and retaliate from many different awkward positions.

And I love how it's a game too, and there's even a music element to it. The kicks can be SCARY but we also place high value on demonstrating control to not incapacitate our training partners.

(This is why we separately practice contact work for practical scenarios outside the "roda" or circle of the game.)

It's a lot of fun, and there's so many nuanced layers to it. I am in agreement with a lot of posters here: "fighting" is a different skillset to martial arts, although martial arts helped.

I myself, thankfully, am not accustomed to violence, but I am always mentally training to spot and avoid trouble. I definitely have a leg up in a fight against the risks of a sedentary lifestyle though. 😆

Oh is that kinda like a raspberry or orange pi farm?

Sounds kinda RISCy in this economy...

Lmao that place looks like a supervillain fortress complete with ominous red glow and super high walls with aggressively angled wrought iron.

It also has fully kitted out paramilitary-looking security that don't screw around. They don't just have like, one sad Securitas agent dinging the perimeter while catching up on How I Met Your Mother lol.

But seriously, chances are a lot of good data goes through there too. Don't shut off our connection to the outside world it kinda sucks here. :( :( :(

I seriously wonder what kinda data flows through there though. Boggles the mind to fathom.

Considering what M$ has done to Minecraft, that's immensely AWESOME to know! I really need to put some time into Minetest / mineclonia...

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

The fact that I could just hear like 3/4ths of these just by reading them made me lol. XD

That's absolutely awesome! I haven't checked the plugins in a while. :) Thanks for the share, friend!

Yeah, I feel like it's almost intuitive if my case lighting is reporting its temperature. In that case if things start turning all red, something is up. Lol

In Win10, I used Corsair's iCUE to have my numpad lights report individual core temps. (And numpad enter was my GPU I think)

So hopefully I can find a way to do something similar here. :)

I don't think CKB-Next can do that 🤔

Weird that I feel a bit opposite compared to a lot of comments. I think maybe they find hassle with:

  • Crappy proprietary software.
  • Forced rainbow spin they can't turn off.
  • The feeling this makes the component cost more.

Or other things.

I like the lights though. There's a custom Linux app specially for Corsair keyboards, so that works for me, but everything else listens to OpenRGB!

Soft ambient glow? Easy. Turning ALL of it off? Click. Making it bounce to music? Preset.

Responding to temperatures is useful but I think that might require a little more scripting.

For the longest time my 3090 wouldn't be read by OpenRGB, but eventually they figured it out. :)
