Today in dumb stuff Dan has tried to get #rstats packages to work on his work's CentOS 7 server...

Trying to get duckdb to install. Keeps failing with an error about some xz utils issue that I apparently could fix if I had sudo privileges...

I thought it was just how the package was arriving from cran, but no, turns out when duckdb builds it compresses itself back into a tar.xz (I literally have no idea why)

So, being very smart, I replaced all the .xz in the source files with .gz - it certainly started to compile. Will it finish? Who knows 🤷 Was this a completely ridiculous thing to try? I have no idea but perhaps lots of people out there might...

Also, probably an important thing to note, my brain is still ringing like a holy bell from the rapturous experience of seeing #yob last night 🤘🫶 #yobislove

@Dan I haven't seen them live but saw some live footage of them. Powerful but I notice the guitarist just seems to play an open D tuned distorted guitar with one finger chords. That's not #guitar talent IMHO

@ecoscore I saw Archspire a couple of weeks ago, they're freaking virtuosic, I didn't go to see YOB for their technical musicianship, but that said he is a pretty amazing vocalist - but it's a fully visceral experience like sun o)))
