what five years of computer science will do to you

(rate my gentoo setup :3)

@unixsocks

Nice Setup and Picture and also the lighting!

Seriously though, how do you take such pictures? I tried and failed multiple times already. Too dark, bad angles, blinding lights, you name it.

@VegOwOtenks tysm!

lol I guess when you take 50+ different pics you're bound to get some good ones

if actually want the details, my friend was holding the camera behind me to get this angle, we also turned off the lights, so the screens appeared brighter, and used only a star projector thingy for the faint purple glow

I think the downward-facing light bar at the top of your monitor is the real key here, illuminating your desk and all the things on it, socks included.

I have few things to say.

  • firstly I might be trippin but does your sysfetch say you have 17.4 Gb of RAM? HOW?
  • also I see you’re using bash. at this point you might as well try zsh with omz.
  • and why VScode when already you are using neovim (or other terminal code editor)? If you reeeally need the ecosystem try Codium. I doesn’t have all the exstenaions but if it has the one you need it is less bloated vscode (and gentoo users hate bloat)

also the setup is nice ig

fish is a nice shell btw, but yeah, meh on bash
Using bash is saner than any ZSH config out there, fish on the other hand is peak

@alsaaas @Gwen I've actually looked a bit into fish before, but didn't switch

does the lack of posix compliance not cause issues in practice? like, has it ever broke some script you wanted to run?

It’s it’s own language, but it doesn’t break existing e.g. bash scripts because you declare them to be bash with #!/bin/bash in the first line right? So your shell doesn’t matter.

You just shouldn’t set it as your login shell because of that, they have tutorials on that on their website and the Arch wiki explains it too

Uh, check zsh4humans. It is basically fish, but with powerlevel10k terminal skin which is blazing fast.
Thanks, but I like my sane default Rust shell and as a scripting lang, fish is also really nice
+1 for scripting with fish. Reduced the LOC in my scripts collection by probably 50%, while increasing legibility by probably at least 100%. Absolute beast of a lang.
bash is copyleft. zsh is permissive. Therefore, bash is superior.
Fish is also GPL’ed
Fish clear winner for it’s simplicity and performance.

sysfetch say you have 17.4 Gb of RAM? HOW?

igpu

My bet is they have 24GB total with 6GB dedicated to the iGPU.

@Cort @aqua_cat almost!
It's actually 20GB total with 2GB for the iGPU
Darn it, that was my next guess. 4GB soldered + 16GB since it’s a laptop with a U series chip?
Do I spot neovim, or do my eyes deceive me?
Dont know enough to rate your setup but I can rate your lighting in this shot. 10/10 lighting
Finally another gentoo user!
@oftheair we emerge from the shadows
Heyoo! Gentoo 4 life

@msage @oftheair oh hii there!

we were just talking about madoka magica under another post :3

Hello! It’s a small world after all :D

What else do we have in common?

@msage small world indeed!

and hmm I'm not sure, do you also like weird music?

Alright, now you have to send me some songs.

I do like all kinds of music, from alternative to death metal and everything between, if it’s a good song.

Do you play games? PC or tabletop?

Gentoo w distro
It continues to astound me that OneShot is as well-known as it is

yooo Niko oneshot

Curious, do you just play The World Machine edition or do you use some kind of setup to play Oneshot

@KSPAtlas niko oneshot mentioned!

It's actually been some years since I finished that game, I was still using windows back then so I played the original steam version.

I'm pretty sure some puzzles would break in a window manager only setup, I mean, I don't even have a "Desktop" directory now, but I vaguely remember it working on KDE, so it's probably not impossible to fix.

Have you done the clover after finishing the game thing?
Is that… Hatsune Miku modded into Mario 64?

@hameru @unixsocks

Great socks! 😎

Maybe add our Coding Desk Mat with all essential shortcuts you need for faster coding in VS Code and IntelliJ.

Your desk and your socks will thank you 🙃

What’s that tiler?

Low-key jealous of you having so many windows on a big screen.

Fr. This post just connected two neurons in my head about what tilers are capable of
looks like bspwm on X11 from the fastfetch output

@mechanikate @Sivecano yep, it's bspwm!

idk why my other reply saying that hasn't appeared on lemmy, federation is weird sometimes, hopefully this on will go through

Is that a little cat’s paw button behind the keyboard? What does it do?!
that’s where the mouse plugs in

Fuck yes, gentoo!

Nice socks!

@Sir_Premiumhengst another GentOwO user? thx >u<
I’m pretty vanilla with Arch on my regular work Laptop but I definitely love tinkering with Gentoo… Maybe it is time though for a primary GentOwO machine tho…
Presumably you didn’t know that hifetch exists, you can backend it via fastfetch to make it fast. The big plus is that you can give it flag colours.
@fushuan oh it's even on the official repo, I'm gonna emerge it right now, thx for the recommendation!

Nice post! We definitely need more content in this community (and in Lemmy as a whole as well)

You look great OP! Cute and cozy.

so comfyyy
@seraphine omg it's biblically accurate clippy
Next year will be my 5th year in comp sci
@pineapplelover I see long socks in your future, good luck!
Is it a gradual transition or just instant?
@pineapplelover instant, but there's a cool mahou shoujo transformation sequence when it happens
