A pair of objective truths:

In 2011, the #ThinkPad T420 is the best laptop ever made
In 2020, the #ThinkPad T420 is the best laptop ever made

These statements are correct. Any other opinions on the matter are incorrect. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

So John Titor is on the HN frontpage. As a shameless fan of #SteinsGate (objectively the best visual novel), I approve.

Been going through a power metal phase lately after listening to way too much glitch/synth. Binging Rhapsody of Fire's discography after finishing Hammerfall.

Just finished my initial implemntation of https://git.sr.ht/~seirdy/chattiest-channels. It scans your #WeeChat logs to figure out which #irc channels are the busiest, excluding bots/join/leave/away/chanmsg. Written in 100% bashism-free POSIX sh, its only non-POSIX dependency is `date -d`.

Just switched from GitLab to #sourcehut as my primary git hosting provider. I still maintian mirrors of my repositories on GitHub and GitLab, but I'm planning on making the main action take place on sourcehut. I like how sourcehut prefers open protocols like email over walled gardens like GitHub/GitLab pull-requests.

My projects are at https://git.sr.ht/~seirdy.

Time for #screenshotsunday and #unixporn. Here's my #mpd setup.

Clockwise from the top-right: ncmpcpp, editing https://gitlab.com/Seirdy/dotfiles/blob/master/.local/bin/mpd-rating-playlist and the command I used to create this toot, https://github.com/carnager/clerk, Project M visualizer (SDL), Cava visualizer. All visible programs built from latest git commit automatically.

I also use mpDris2 for an mpd -> MPRIS bridge and desktop notifications.

#screenshotsunday: weechat (IRC/Matrix), Newsboat (RSS), Firefox Nightly, Podboat (podcasts).

Recently finished enabling link-time optimization on all supported packages. It results in significantly smaller binaries, both stripped and unstripped.

Unfortunately, #rust packages require a MUSL environment for full LTO of executables; I'll need to set up a container/chroot workflow for that.

See "cc_funcs.sh", "small_cc_programs.sh", "large_cc_programs.sh", and "cargo.sh" for my update scripts in my dotfile repo: https://gitlab.com/Seirdy/dotfiles/tree/master/Executables/shell-scripts/updates

My #irc addiction is back in full swing. I'll see if I can hack together a #weechat script to filter buffers using `fzf-tmux`.

So I just put together term-dmenu https://gitlab.com/Seirdy/term-dmenu to replace #dmenu and #rofi with a floating terminal and #fzf. Made primarily for #sway but supporting other environments should be trivial.

I recently discovered MPV's many upscaling filters. Combining some of them with Anime4k allows flawless upscaling of 640p anime to 4k on my desktop and a CPU stress-test on my laptop. Config file at https://gitlab.com/Seirdy/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/mpv/mpv.conf #mpv
