Managed 40km/1100m elevation in the pouring rain and unexpectedly cold temperatures before DNFing. Absolutely nailed nutrition, hydration, plan, pace, & HR but I couldn't stay warm. Sucks but I'm not built for the cold, I was expecting warmth/heat today. I am rolling into a training block for a 50k in August and wondering if I could fit in a solo attempt at the 80km in the fall. It would be a shame to waste all this readiness.
The DNF is rotting my socks! I am going to call that 40km a last long run before tapering and I will have another kick at the 80km in three weeks!
A very EXCLUSIVE race. One runner! One aid station at the halfway point (Yay fam jam crew!). An out and back along a local trail. The inaugural @ThunderHoneySnow Ultra!
Free registration. Start time before sunrise. GPS watch timing. Race photography by selfies.
I posted a web log thing!
It's niche and stupid. If you use JFrog Artifactory and a Red Hat-based Linux and want user-specific credentials for use with dnf, I know how to do that and you can too:
📦 Fedora thinking about switching to a new package manager
「 Its usage can test a user’s patience, as its performance lags notably behind Debian’s speedy APT. And comparing it to the swift efficiency of Arch’s Pacman is, frankly, not even a fair contest. However, this could all change in Fedora 41 」
I don't understand what is the point of releasing an IDE via #flatpak, when that flatpak doesn't include all the necessary dev tools, and it can't access the ones outside its sandboxing. Honestly. What's the point? I'm looking at you, #Geany.
Personally, I can't stand flatpaks or #snap. #Appimage is nicer just because it's just one delete away from within the file manager and doesn't leave crumbs everywhere. But overall, I prefer #apt, and #dnf.
Q: Do you know when to dnf upgrade vs dnf distro-sync?
A: dnf upgrade = updates all apps & software to latest version, while dnf distro-sync = syncs everything to latest distro version, which may add, downgrade or remove parts.#tutorialtuesday#rockycommunity#dnf
Excellent question... I try to finish every game I buy, regardless of how many time I throw the controller, rage quit, or DNF it so long than it takes me a year to finish it.
Chrono Trigger or Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age both frustrated me with several bosses and multiple endings.
For the #hare crew who have given this a try, thank you! I'll have an update published soon. I'm trying a newer commit so updating is seamless, but probably not the very latest commit (looks like it's got some problems).
Alright, my #harelang update for #fedora is posted! Either run a #DNF upgrade or install #hare, hare-bin, and/or hare-src.
The dependency chain has been fixed as follows:
qbe: (none)
harec: qbe
hare: hare-bin
hare-bin: hare, harec, ~hare-src
hare-src: (none)
The thought behind this is to allow folks who want to work in a stdlib-less environment can opt out of installing the stdlib in the first place (--setopt install_weak_deps=False).
I need something to make my personal infra maintenance easier, but I have no time to build it. I'm going to throw it out there as a Free Idea, but I also have another suggestion…
Got my first #DNF yesterday, my last 10 km were miserable after so much vomiting, no amount of rest seemed to help, so I abandoned at around km 65 💔, which was completely uncharted territory for me. Still trying to figure out what to do better next time, maybe go a bit slower to compensate for the blood flow lost to my body trying to cope from all the heat and humidity? Eat a little less? Rest a bit more in each station?
I wish #SUSE/#openSUSE would just enable #dnf out of box for non-transactional variants. #zypper is comparatively slower/clunky and there's not a clearly unsolveable issue with their mutual co-existence. #Linux
Please take some time to help us test the below items during their scheduled times. Test Days are a great entry point if you've never contributed before!
@fedora@gnome feeling a bit better so helped with the last #DNF5#dnf testing and the GNOME 45 Beta testing today will try to help with more GNOME 45 Beta testing during the weekend if i am not too busy
I've made at least a dozen attempts at Thomas Pynchon's World War II novel since I was eighteen, and I've never managed to get far beyond Pirate Prentice's banana breakfast.
Infinite Jest
Of course I've tried to read the novel that made David Foster Wallace famous, since it was published the year I turned eighteen and I still felt obligated to at least try to read and appreciate literary fiction in order to be "serious" about writing. I just never succeeded, most likely for the same reasons I never finished Gravity's Rainbow. It seems my patience for postmodernism is limited.
The Name of the Rose
I know how Umberto Eco's medieval mystery ends, but I don't count it as a book I've successfully read because there are dozens of passages that I just don't have enough Latin to read. It helps a little that I had seen the film adaptation first.
The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms
I'm not sure what stopped me from finishing N. K. Jemisen's novel, or the Inheritance Trilogy of which it's the first. Maybe I got distracted, or perhaps I couldn't bring myself to care about the characters and their struggles. I should probably pick it up again and give it another shot.
The Warded Man
Once I got it into my head that Peter Brett's novel would have worked better as a shonen manga called Tattooed Devil Killer ARLEN I could no longer take the novel seriously or suspend disbelief. That the protagonist basically turned into Batman after a time skip didn't help matters.
Polychrome
Ryk E. Spoor's homage to L. Frank Baum's Oz novels would probably have had more appeal for me if I had actually read Baum's novels as a kid instead of simply watching the film adaptation of The Wizard of Oz when it ran on TV between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Apparently Baum's setting got a lot weirder after Wizard. Spoor's novel assumed prior knowledge of the setting and characters that I lacked and couldn't be bothered to acquire.
Drood
I liked Dan Simmons better when he wrote science fiction. I was also going to say that I liked him better before he became a raving bigot writing unhinged rants about the evils of Islam, but the seeds of that bigotry were latent in the 1980s when he wrote Hyperion. It doesn't help that Drood requires knowledge of Charles Dickens' life and work, particularly his unfinished Mystery of Edwin Drood. I could acquire it, but I was never a fan of Charles Dickens' and I can't be bothered to read his work just so I can make sense of this one novel by Dan Simmons.
The Elfstones of Shannara
I had been told by a few dozen Terry Brooks fans on r/fantasy that Elfstones was a better novel than his first novel, The Sword of Shannara, but the magic just wasn't there for me. Maybe if I head read Elfstones first, and as a child instead of an adult
Byzantium Endures
This is the first of Michael Moorcock's novels of Colonel Pyat, and I've been slogging through it for five years, reading a little more at a time. This isn't a failure on Moorcock's part, but a triumph of characterization. Pyat's dishonesty is the least of his repugnant qualities, and I can only take so much of him at a time. I'm only halfway through Byzantium Endures, and there are three more Pyat novels after that.
I don't think I'll get through them all in my lifetime unless I'm already in so cynical and misanthropic a mood that Pyat's racism, anti-Semitism, nationalism, and misogyny somehow buoy me instead of bringing me down.
If there are books you haven't finished despite a valiant effort, why not blog about them and email me a link? I'm curious.
It’s only in the last few years I’ve been able to set a book down if I’m not into it/hate it /at the wrong time & place for it. Previously I felt almost guilty not to finish a book - like I was letting myself & the book down!
#BookClub choices I really try to finish, but hanging on to the grim end can often leave me with a reading block.
I wonder if there's a way to get the #aur working on #fedora. It's possible to install #pacman & #paru using #dnf and #cargo respectively, and after doing
pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate archlinux
it's possible to get it to start installing.
The problem you run into is dependencies. Pacman can't use dnf pkgs as deps & tries to doubly install things, conflicting with the files of dnf pkgs.
I wonder if there's a way around that. Would be cool to play around with.
