You seem to have no idea how old I am by now 😂

Apparently parts of European internet traffic were routed via China for about two hours yesterday:

Dedusting the old trusty MacBook Air. Probably about to watch several hours of updating macOS 😂

I think I gave up compiling my own kernels sometime around 2005 😂

@uint8_t @adz

You could manually try and load a newer module with insmod/modprobe, but it wouldn't actually automatically load them, as it tries to find them in a non-existing directory, as the version is part of the path name, e.g. /lib/modules/5.1.6-arch1-1-ARCH

@adz

Indeed, it upgrades the package, which removes /lib/modules/X.Y.Z from the filesystem and installs /lib/modules/X.Y.(Z+1) instead.

Other distros solve that by offering a fallback package, but obviously it's a bit harder with rolling releases.

I'm still bothered by Arch kernel upgrades removing the modules of the currently running version, so you're often forced into rebooting.

It would be handy if the upgrade generates a fallback image of the current kernel and its modules.

Someone must have already started working on that... right?

Thanks, should be fixed!

The new "KDE's Applications" page is online. Nice work, @jriddell:

Nah, that's not it. The latest VirtualBox seemingly actually refuses to start Windows images without VT enabled.

(Just tried disabling it for a direct comparison, and it refused to start the existing image)

@Data

Dummfug. Auch 2009 wurden die Karten schon der Temperatur entsprechend eingefaerbt - und das macht als Visualisierung auch durchaus Sinn.

@Twelve

Ah, I see. That's a pretty common misconception. Go was started by a team at Google, but it's by no means a Google product.

It's an open source project, governed by the community, and only a tiny fraction of contributions come from Google employees.

@Twelve

That much I understand. I just don't get what Gamut has to do with Google in your eyes.

@lastfuture

Test my software builds.

@Twelve

But what has Google got to do with it?

@barrsniffsatjejuneanalysis

I'm done for now with color theory and algorithms, promised 😂

Last but not least, if you're working with color values in #golang, check out "gamut", a little library I wrote that provides a ton of convenient color theory methods.

It can also generate and handle color palettes for you 😊

@gudenau

This is actually operating in a three dimensional space, but the visualization only shows two dimensions. Would be fun to create a 3D animation, but I guess I don't have the time for that right now. Contributions welcome 😆
