Minimalistic Advice

May 29th, 2014 by celeron55

Look for things around you that are widely claimed to be fixing something, but in fact are causing the exact same thing. They may or may not be the original cause of it.

Please, right from this moment and through the rest of your life. Always when you find one, tell it to at least one other person.

There is an idiotic amount of things like this everywhere and I am dead serious. Look for big and small things. It may be the thing you trust the most.

Minetest map generator mod “Watershed” fly-over

April 27th, 2014 by celeron55

Non-content follows:

So, my day went like this: First I woke up and was thinking of writing a certain kind of subgame, and started doing that based on another one. Then I decided that the idea I had wasn’t complete enough, discarded that mini-project and decided that integrating mapgen v5 with current master would make sense.

I barely did that and begun flying around in a world generated by it. It seemed that implementing mgv7 biomes on it would be a next step, but a boring one. Then I thought a bit and came to the conclusion that some of paramat’s mods must be capable of the things that I like in v5, and quickly ended up flying around in a Watershed-generated world. It was just as glorious as always and I experimented a bit with recording flying with constant speed in it.

Nothing seemed to go wrong, so I iterated some hours on a hack that controls the height of flight and finally let it run for a final pass. It had a lot of water. I was like “Fuck it; let me just get some music!” and surprisingly quickly ended up with something licensed under CC BY-SA that I really wanted to use.

It took a fair amount of arranging and cutting to get it match the video. The end result of this is what you see above.

Trinity-amarok is awesome!

April 14th, 2014 by celeron55

I only now found out about the TDE project and that it is maintaining the 1.4 series of Amarok, and packaging it for everything.

It’s fucking glorious. I love you. The Yauap backend plays even the audio from Matroska video files. It doesn’t start randomly consuming 100% CPU like Clementine does. Even the “Suggested Songs” dynamic playlist works which is the absolute peak of modern music player development. Nothing has that today. Except this.

KDE4 forgot almost everything that was good about KDE3.5. These people didn’t.
