Do you use any programs on your computer on a daily basis? What are they? Do you use anything so much that you instinctively launch it right after turning your PC on? Are you always connected to the Internet?

Personally I use IRC, email and webchats a lot so I have a corner of my room dedicated to an old recycled PC that only runs my clients and a web browser.

I've gotten so used to this program that I don't even use the proper Youtube site unless absolutely necessary. This and NewPipe have been my go-tos for Youtube, I can barely even tolerate getting hit with multiple ads during a 10 minute video now.

I use the lynx terminal web browser. It helps with my severe attention defecit. I don't have to be bombarded with ads, pics or distracted by a dozen tabs. Sadly, I can't always use it for work and obviously not with imageboards. Its more the thing I use when I need to really focus and cut down on procrastinating. Its nice to relax, put some music on, and use lynx. Looking at the terminal can hurt your eyes though.

Can't you like go to inspect element and then in the elements console do a ctrl+f for ".mp4", which is usually attached to the direct video link, copy that and then right-click + "save video as…"?

Or are we talking about one of those websites that makes everyone's life hard? Because those are usually the mainstream sites and in that case I have to ask if you're really sure it's "lost media"

 No.2341

just because a video is hosted on a mainstream video streaming site doesn't mean it's not an endangered file. i lost my favourite (fan made) music video coz i didn't back up my music video downloads and when i went to find it again on youtube it was gone.

i doubt there is another copy of most videos on youtube and once it goes away you'll never see it again. you should always download everything you want to keep and then make backups.

Hello everybody, I need a comfy place to talk about VNs. /vn/ on 4chan is filled with literal pedos who only talk about eroge, and I don't like Reddit's format enough to use r/visualnovels. So what have you all been reading lately? What are some great games that we've been missing out on?

>>2325
I'm liking them a lot, Tsukihime is really interesting but it can get very shocking and disturbing so I wouldn't recommend it if you don't want that kind of content; on the other side Ef gets tragic and intense (I just played the first part but I remember a bit because I saw the anime years ago) but the overall tone is beautiful and uplifting, mature and emotionally engaging, so I think you will like it. I'll share more thoughts once I finish them.

Recently finished 9-Nine. The plot and chuuni aspects were kind of forgettable but I really liked the girls and humor, almost wish it had just purely been a moege instead. Art is also very nice. It's getting an anime adaptation but the VN's format seems especially ill-suited for an anime so I'm not expecting much.

Currently reading Kin'iro Loveriche and finished my first route which didn't leave much of an impression, hopefully I just happened to start with a weaker route.

Saya no Uta or Planetarian are probably the go-to short VNs, there's also Narcissu and True Remembrance.

Let's talk coding and software, sushis, because I don't do enough of it and I really should. Let's hear about projects you're working on, stuff your coding, learning. Trade secrets, info, tips, whatever. Programming isn't something that should be done alone in a corner.

I guess if we need a thread starter, I want to brush up on my coding skills. I want to find something to play around with, something not as mainstream as the stuff like Java and C, but will still be useful in a professional setting, something I can make usable stuff out of.

>Does it related to Ocaml
Yeah, the ML family is ths major representative of the typed lambda calculus and of type theory. Constructive mathematics is mostly done with another branch mostly in that family, of proof assistants like Coq or Agda.
>webgl
I'm starting to learn about it. It seems more convenient than regular opengl, as I always struggle with details when handling arrays and memory in C++. But besides that, it's not a whole lot different, just a bit more convenient. I don't know if it is significantly slower, but the point is that it uses the GPU as well so once the primitives and shaders are sent to memory it shouldn't be that slow.

Made a couple of VNMaker scripts some time ago that streamlined execution of a couple of minigames for a certain VN. It took me about a month and a half, but the biggest hurdle was understanding how everything worked under the hood (VNMaker uses java and coffeescript, which is like a branch of javascript…). Made me feel very hacker. Got many thanks and a reward but the VN hasn't been published yet, which makes my feelings swing between fulfilled and unfulfilled…

came across this project the other day:
https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek

it's basically a minimalist pdf reader with some enhancements for reading text books and other academic-ky stuffs like the ability to jump to a references or figures mentioned in a paragraph even if the author didn't bother linking them, open a popup so you can view those without losing where you are in the page, etc.

it's not perfect tho: so far my biggest gripes is the inability to add popup note-type annotations and the lack of integration on any reference management platforms (which is just baffling).

How much does the average sushi roll's computer cost?
How many of you own fancy GPUs/processors, and how many of you prefer simpler/cheaper hardware?
Does anyone own more than 2 or 3 computers? If so, why?
As always, keep it comfy~

I have a little acer netbook I got at a pawn shop. I barely use it, but it's comfy. When I first got it I liked to think of it as my little hacker box. I did some programming in it, a lot of distro hopping, and so on. Sometimes I hold on to that old feeling, but I don't really have much to do with a computer, y main device is a tablet as some 80% of my screentime is reading books and I do it in bed, on a comfy chair, or sometimes at a table with a notebook, which could be anywhere.
I also get very anxious about what I am running and what my workflow should be like. It's very stupid, but I can't seem to help it. I like a minimal linux box but I constantly feel I should be using this or that environment or programming language. Ultimately, though, I have nothing really worth doing on a computer. So I spare myself the trouble.

I built a PC for myself in 2019…
Athlon x4 845
Radeon Pro WX4100
32gb RAM

Adding up the parts, it comes up to about $640, but I spent more due to it being my first box, and making a few missteps during the process. It's a low end box, but it does most of the tasks I ask of it, so I'm happy with it. I'm happy I built mine just before the prices of GPUs ballooned in to insanity.
I mainly run Linux on it, though I have a Windows partition available just in case I need it.

I urgently needed a PC for developing an Android app for my thesis. Using my company's laptop wasn't comfortable, even ignoring all the spying software.

Unfortunately, I had to buy my setup during the release of a new component generation, so I paid a premium. My setup includes a 13600k CPU and a 4080 GPU, costing me around 2500 euros.

I also have a giant OLED screen, which I use as my only monitor. I absolutely love it for gaming, but the font rendering doesn't seem as good as on a regular LCD. Additionally, on uniform light backgrounds, there's slight evidence of burn-in.

Regardless, I love my 'puter! All of my friends are inside it!

I have 4 computers:
A ThinkPad P52 I use as a daily driver with an eGPU setup (RX 6700)
A Thinkpad P51 I used to use as a daily driver until the charging broke somehow (I think it might be a port issue but I haven't found the right part yet)
An old Ryzen Ideapad 330
An old desktop with a 2008 Athlon
An old Dell Latitude a first gen i5
I used to have a T420s when I was a teen and carry it around everywhere with the dock plugged in

I'm emotionally attached to all of these machines. I used to always make sure to use my secondary computers for some kind of task because of the memories I held using them. They all had little quirks and annoyances and were generally underpowered compared to my current PC, but that didn't stop them from providing me with many comfy days.

I have a tablet that cost about 400 dollars and I bought a logitech wifi keyboard so I can pretend its a laptop. Someday I will be able to buy a computer I hope. I might even build my own.

I've owned several laptops over the years, the last one just recently died (Acer Windows 7) but the last Desktop computer I had access to was probably my Dad's old Dial Up in 2009. I absolutely need a PC eventually because I absolutely must finish reading Majikoi before I die.
