Ferris and Corro wallpaper

Have been struggling to find some nice Rust wallpapers, so I decided to make one for myself.

On the left is Ferris on a canvas. On the right is Corro the unsafe Rusturchin. (The contrast between safe (art-like) and unsafe Rust is supposed to be the joke here.)

Edit: The original image is 1080p. I got the drawings of Ferris and Corro from rustacean.net

"Must Try" distros and DEs?
  • LeftWM. I've been using it for about a year now and I have no complaints vIt doesn't hold your hand as much as other WMs, but it is extremely powerful if you're willing to do some manual setup.

  • ICJ hears South Africa’s genocide case against Israel over Gaza war
  • You shouldn't be. As a resident of the country you are proud of, I can assure you, whatever their motivations are, they are not good. SA supports Russia but calls what the IDF is doing genocide. The South African government mainly consists of two-faced thieves.

  • After a lifetime against, I'm considering joining social media. Any advice?
  • Honestly, I'd stick with the Fediverse. At least on here you have some rights and no one (probably) will sell your information to advertisers. LinkedIn is an okay platform if you're looking to grow your career through social media.

  • Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid?
  • It kinda is, but only if intelligence is perfectly normally distributed. (Spoilers, it kinda is)

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_classification

    By the current "deviation IQ" definition of IQ test standard scores, about two-thirds of all test-takers obtain scores from 85 to 115, and about 5 percent of the population scores above 125 (i.e. normal distribution).

  • Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid?
  • Nah, fam. A median is a 100% trimmed mean. The mode is something else entirely. Though intelligence is thought of as normally distributed, it's difficult to make claims about it's skew. For that you need a measure of shape, not location.

  • Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid?

    To clarify here, I don't feel like I'm significantly smarter than most people, but I feel like people have a hard time doing any sort of thinking about stuff. Especially when it comes to verifying "facts."

    QubeTime Updates: Account registration open, new name.

    uncube.codelog.co.za UnCube

    UnCube, a speedcubing timer for the future.

    Hi everyone.

    This is just an update about the speedcubing timer I've recently started developing. Refer to the previous post for more details.

    First things first

    The name has changed. As previously mentioned, I was still on the fence about the name and there happens to be a timer called Cubetime that already exists. For these reasons, I have decided to rename the project UnCube.

    The old link qubetime.codelog.co.za still works, but in the coming months I will disable the subdomain and remove it's CORS entry.

    The new domain is uncube.codelog.co.za.

    New features

    Account registration is now open! On the main page you'll notice a login button on large screen devices and a menu button with login and register buttons on small screen devices. Though registration and login is now possible, it is not yet possible to save your solves to the cloud. 😞

    Also, even though sessions persist, I have not added the logic for checking if a session exists, so reloading the page returns the login/register buttons even though you are still 'logged in.'

    Boo! I want to see the source code!

    FINE!!! Here you go

    As always, let me know if anyone has any suggestions/issues.

    EDIT: Added link to GitHub repository

    TL;DR Remember that new broken speedcubing timer? It just got a bit better!

    Introducing QubeTime, the speedcubing timer for the 21st century

    qubetime.codelog.co.za QubeTime

    QubeTime, a speedcubing timer for the future.

    So, I know that there are loads of great speedcubing timers out there, but I've always felt that these are half solutions that leave a lot of manual work for the user of the timer to do things like synchronising solves between devices.

    As a Computer Scientist and hobbyist speedcuber, I felt that I am in a unique position to offer a solution to this problem.

    Over the past few weeks, I've been developing a new speedcubing timer that (for now; open to suggestions) I am calling QubeTime. Although QubeTime is in BETA right now and most of the eventual functionality is still missing, I thought I should release it to the public so that I can get feedback as soon as possible.

    With that in mind, please send me your suggestions and feel free to contact me using my business email.

    The current list of planned features include:

    • Multi-device cloud synchronisation
    • In-depth solve statistics.
    • Import/export to/from all major* speedcubing timers.
    • Easy solve sharing with link previews. (Twitter cards, etc...)
    • ?? Speedcubing news bulletins ??
    • User solve comments.

    TL;DR I'm building a new speedcubing timer, it'll have lots of cool features.
