    “Just follow the build instructions on GitHub”

    1000 error messages ensue.

    I'm trying to learn Houdini. I thought, "Oh, I'll just download a template and see how it should look."

    Even already-made templates are apparently out-of-my-depth.

    That’s your own darn fault. You were supposed to know the 0.0.1 version was GA instead of assuming 0.0.3-alpha was stable. You would have known if you read the 2000 line README. On the second dependency there is no README though, so just use the latest and hope it’s still compatible.

    This is some unnecessary red circle shit right here.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

    Clearly added for emphasis, crucial instructions, we might mistake for other instructions in the picture.

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 8 hours ago

    But look how pretty it is 😊.

    Oh bro, it's the Art of War.

    It's hard enough to express this in a first language

    The first one you learned or became fluent in. For example, it's often English for USA people or Spanish for Spanish people, or Japanese for Japanese people

    Often also called mother tongue or primary language.

    Otherwise, it can be the one you are most comfortable with or default to.

    Ahh, I see, I think it is a translation issue where the tect got too long ant cut. I suppose the missing words are “… too much”.

    That said in my first language: “zie d schruube ah, pass aber uf dass sie ned zu fest aziesch”

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

    Oh yeah I think it was a translation issue. Translators have trouble with conjugation and synonyms. But the result is the same.

    Here is a basic way to configure the service:

    But this method has significant drawbacks and probably won’t work for most use cases, so do what works for you.

    [–] [email protected] 20 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

    No other info whatsoever.

    And then you go hunting for other people's config files.

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

    And those configs are clearly the result of someone else stitching together three different examples from different versions, with some settings that are silently ignored in the latest version or only exist when compiled with special flags.

    But hey, it works for them, so 🤷... they have no idea how BTW, but it does work...

    I did not think there was that much to tightening. I read the whole damn thing.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

    If you love that, NASA has a whole 100 page PDF about fasteners:

    https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19900009424/downloads/19900009424.pdf

    One particularly notable part is about split lock washers. They're useless, often detrimental, and need to go away. NASA said so in 1990 and there's no reason to think this has changed.

    A little bit of both 🤷...

    OpenSUSE microOS guys be like

    • dont install any RPMs
    • we wont help you adding RPM repos
    • you need to install RPMs for drivers and stuff
    [–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

    Same thing with installing drivers in Fedora SB

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

    No on Fedora Atomic Desktops for some reason people tell you not to install RPMs, but actually it is unproblematic.

    Unlike OpenSUS microOS, Fedora Atomic Desktops have a reset function to delete all local changes and become 100% upstream.

    The issues really only come with /var, /etc and the user home where config-file-creep grows and you get random errors after doing to much shit with your install.

    But it is still safer to install RPMs on than on dnf Fedora.

    OpenSUS microOS has no advantages over traditional Tumbleweed afaik, apart from the atomic updates that you have a single fallback option.

    As someone who works in manufacturing this makes prefect sense and wish more instructions were this clear

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago (4 children)

    How 🤨... tighten, but don't...

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

    It means “put all of the screws in the holes in order to start guiding the surfaces that you’re screwing together into the correct position, but don’t firmly tighten down all the screw until you have put all of them in so that you can ensure proper alignment of everything before you lock it in.”

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

    Yeah, it's fairly obvious to me as well. That's basic assembly procedure, you don't tighten them fully until you have them all in place.

    This manual will just confuse me, I'll just follow the assembly plan without actually reading it 😁.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

    Like put them in a few threads but don't tighten then yet until you complete the next step

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

    That's "screw them in, but don't tighten them".

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

    Tighten but don't overtighten them, probably.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago

    Tighten them but tighten them not too much but make sure not to tighten them too less, I guess

    This is why I'm still on Windows 3.1

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

    Hi, still on Windows 3.1. I'm dad.

    [–] [email protected] 87 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

    Thanks for the red circle, I was really lost there for a moment

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

    I can’t find where your comment is. Can you please add a red circle so I can read it?

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

    Thanks for the red circle, I was really lost there for a moment
