Problem solved with a 12-minute phone call.

Accountants tell you to do "advance" wire transfers, but since the tax authority doesn't expect anything, they write it down as "credit".

And they never automatically use "credit" for anything. You have to ask. So I asked. That's it.

I've been stressing about this for like, 2 months, opening more tickets, etc.—today I finally had enough mental fortitude to expect hours of waiting for a human, to potentially tell me that the 30K I imagined did not exist but nope! It's all there. I get to pay rent another day!

@artificialmind Just to be clear there’s no ongoing disputes, it’s just that I learned to do it properly and I went a little happy with it

@fasterthanlime “To me, an extra 0.1% performance increase, even if I am only imagining it to be faster, is certainly worth one day a week recompiling all of the latest packages from source code.”

This is satire, right? Isn’t it?

@fasterthanlime getting whiplash from seeing this user's nick (I've interacted with them before) boosted from your account, feels surreal

Nix friends!

How do I have:

  • flake.nix
  • subdir/flake.nix

And use subdir's flake from the top-level flake? path: used to accept relative paths but now complains with "cannot fetch input"

teivel ,

@fasterthanlime I just do nix flake update relativeFlake if it complains about not being able to fetch it.

@fasterthanlime
I actually use this in my home-manager setup!

But I have absolutely zero idea how I did it. Whenever I set it up on a new system I run some random flake update commands with some random protocols and at some point it starts working?

Current status: doing my first ever Time Machine backup to a 512GB microSD (because that's all I had on hand that was big enough)

fasterthanlime OP ,

@dpom Giving Arq a try right now — it’s faster to backup to AWS S3 Glacier with Flexible Retrieval than it is to write to this microSD card 🥲

Thanks for the recommendation!

@fasterthanlime Glad to help! Some day Apple will give Time Machine the attention it needs, but for now it's just the absolute cruftiest :)

I've been learning a lot of new software lately and amidst the frustration there's a lot of trying something logical and going "ooooh they thought of that, that's so neat!"

Going back to Google products though, there's none of those moments. None at all.

Cool I get to replace an old codebase with a single ffmpeg invocation.

ffmpeg 7 parallelized all the things, so... you can encode your whole bitrate ladder in one go efficiently now.

curche ,
@curche@hachyderm.io avatar

@fasterthanlime might be interesting to figure out what's the latest version of ffmpeg that the LLM supports

(had to delete and resend my post because I replied to the top of the thread >.>)

scherzog ,
@scherzog@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@fasterthanlime Another thing that is good at generating complex ffmpeg filters is the graphical ffmpeg explorer: https://ffmpeg.lav.io/

It does lack the capability to tell people to eat glue though so that's one point to the LLM.
