Narrator: he did the cat.

pathlib is your friend here.

from pathlib import Path

my_dir = Path('/home/myuser/photos')
new_pics = my_dir.glob('IMG*.jpeg')

This should give you a list of all JPEG files that start with “IMG”.

Those paper cuts can be nasty!

I already used that to get my GPU.

There are plenty of NAS systems that use M.2 SSDs. Those should be pretty much silent. You might even have to sell only one kidney to afford the drives.

Gee, that’s a lot of homework.

That sounds like a solid strategy to me.

How it would have gone for me:

“You need to install this Windows software for the assessment.”

“I don’t have Windows.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

“Bye bye.”

It’s always projection with these people.

This template really needs to die.

Edit: this was meant for the Crowder template. Calvin is cool.

If we’re not an apex predator species, where is all the megafauna?

Just because you belong to the apex predator species doesn’t mean you are one.

Where does the 97% figure come from? I thought it’s pretty much unanimous at this point?

I have multiple resolutions for 2026: 4k on my TV and office monitor, 1280x800 on the Steam Deck and usually 1440p for gaming although sometimes I have to drop down to 1080p.

Unless you want to go professional or do something for profit, I’d just get some cheap old box and start mucking about. Just make sure you don’t put any important data on it and be prepared to wipe it and start from scratch a few times. After a while you’ll have a better idea of what you want to do and a clearer way forward.

It doesn’t mean these people aren’t talented. But getting into the entertainment industry is notoriously difficult. Having a name that opens doors will definitely make it easier.

The frame is a gaming computer in its own right but can also be used as a display. There’s nothing wrong with the Quest from a technological standpoint. It’s just that you’re forced into the closed Meta ecosystem in order to use it. Many people don’t want to be there these days. Steam hardware tends to be open and moddable. Let’s hope they keep that up with the upcoming products.

I second docker. Very easy to get it up and running.

What are you, some kind of nerd?

Me? No. But I’ve met plenty of those types.
