+1 for earasers. They’re very efficient and comfortable , and I wear them for 12 hours a day for 4 days straight during Hellfest each year.

Didn’t know poppy was still around.

She’s actually growing in popularity, opening for and collaborating with major bands. She’s booked on a lot of metal festivals as well.

Yeah, while Gaben is still at the helm…

Nah, Hibernate, Spring and most major Java frameworks have largely moved away from XML. It’s still supported, but these days it’s mostly configured in the code directly, with properties loaded from yaml, JSON or the environment (for containers).

The JDK ecosystem is in a pretty good spot nowadays. With Spring boot you can whip up a productions ready back-end very fast, or if you prefer a more hands-on approach there are lighter frameworks/libraries quarkus or micronaut.

The Java language itself has evolved fast and is actually pretty nice now, and if you prefer something more modern akin to TS or swift you can just use Kotlin which is almost 100% interoperable with Java.

Since Java 14 it looks like this:

Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NullPointerException:

Cannot invoke “String.toLowerCase()” because the return value of “com.baeldung.java14.npe.HelpfulNullPointerException$PersonalDetails.getEmailAddress()” is null

at com.baeldung.java14.npe.HelpfulNullPointerException.main(HelpfulNullPointerException.java:10)

Yep, at my previous job I moved a pretty complex build system from Jenkins to github actions. It worked fine and was much simpler to maintain.

And yes there are ways to run github actions on your own machine, but I haven’t tried it.

I was answering a question which had nothing to do with reclaiming territory?

The Ukrainian army and equipment supplied by NATO members I guess?

Yes, only in New Caledonia, and only on mobile. The goal is to prevent the rioters from coordinating on the go.

The various Gameboys, DS, Vita, … are all handhelds with much worse performances and graphics than the Switch. I’ve owned quite a few handheld consoles since the original Gameboy, and when I bought the Switch it had the best-looking games I had ever seen. Hence my response.

But yeah it’s been gathering dust since I got the SD :)

Yeah if you consider the steam deck and co to be consoles, which I don’t.

I was responding to the claim that the switch “has the worst graphics on a handheld”, which is obviously wrong.

Yeah I thought about it but IMO the Deck is a PC, as it runs a PC OS, games and software out of the box.

You must not have seen a lot of handhelds then. The Switch is the most powerful portable console ever… And honestly the first party games look and run pretty great for the price.

Wireguard, like all VPNs, definitely does E2E encryption. What would be the point of an unencrypted VPN?

As it seems nobody’s linked it yet, have you read Jellyfin’s hardware selection page? They go into great details about which HW features are required/desired.

In my case I’m running it on a NUC with an i3 8109U + 16GB RAM, it runs great with 2 or 3 transcoding jobs at once. Media are stored on 5400-RPM HDDs.

The Big Lebowski is the pinnacle of humour! Now get off my lawn!

Yep that’s the idea.

It’s a scene from The Big Lebowski, right after The Dude got tortured with a marmot by German nihilists. Walter focuses on the legality of keeping a marmot as a pet, which is obviously not the main issue.

Yeah, I had a feeling that was not the best way to put it but I was in a hurry :)
