  • How to manage configuration files

    Jump

  • The server in question is a raspberry with 4 gigabytes of ram, so I will need to use containers very sparingly. Basically I'm using podman quadlets only for those services that really only comes in containers (which for now means only codimd, overleaf, and zigbee2mqtt), and I'm running everything else on metal. But even with containers, I would still need to manage container configurations, network, firewall, file sharing permissions, etc. just like I did without containers.

  • I think that someone already tried (and failed) to make a wrist band thingy in the past, so they probably can't patent it. That is, unless they went out of their way to patent the sensor technology itself, or the UX, instead of the concept of a wristband thingy

  • Well, I don't use most of their stuff because I mostly run self hosted stuff that either don't need their proxy stuff or violate their content policies (you can't serve movies/video over their proxy, which is reasonable). But if I wanted to I already have all of that at my disposal, without any extra money.

  • I haven't read the article yet, but I just wanted to say a couple of things.

    First of all, I keep noticing people around me with bulky glasses that look like they came out of the DEVO peek a Boo video, and all I can think is that if I where Facebook I would use my power to influence fashion towards bulky glasses and make my glasses look sleek by comparison.

    Second, it sucks that the wrist band thing is being tied with bullshit ai glasses. I would love to see that as a regular input device for PCs and smartphones.

  • I am using my domain. Best 10€ ever spent (maybe after Terraria). For just 10€ I get a .org domain name and all the DNS records I want, and I get pampered by cloudflare all the time...

    "Oh, you want a distributed reverse proxy? You want a dislocated cache? You won't TLS without getting a certificate? Block AI on the proxy? Even more stuff? Well guess what, we already make a bajillion dollars from big tech, so you the little guy can have all of that included in your 10€"

  • Webp is "current-useless" on account of being unsupported by a lot of software, including Google's own office suite. Just the same as jxl.

    At the end of the day, any standard or protocol that is not widely supported is de-facto useless. Some examples are: ipv4 multicast, TCP multipath, MIR, hashcash; all of this are technically valid, but nothing supports them, so it doesn't matter

  • Slot Machines vs. Vibe Coding

    Jump

  • It's an analogy, it must be similar in principle, not in numbers. A subscription to chatgpt also costs less than what gamblers spend in slots. But whatever, I don't care enough to argue much more

  • Slot Machines vs. Vibe Coding

    Jump

  • I specifically said "full sized", a pc with modern gpu and more than 32gb of vram is not a regular computer that most gamers have access to. If you are running a 7B model on a gtx 1080 or even an rtx 3060, you are not running a full LLM like the ones you would get from a subscription service

  • Slot Machines vs. Vibe Coding

    Jump

  • If you count only the cost for you, maybe it doesn't consume water, but your toy still guzzled lakes as it was training. Plus, the hardware to run a full sized LLM is expensive, so you bragging about how it costs nothing is like a millionaire preaching to gamblers that it's better to just be rich than try to win at the slots

  • LLVM

    Jump

  • That's like... It's purpose. Compilers always have a frontend and a backend. Even when the compiler is entirely made from scratch (like Java or go), it is split between front and backend, that's just how they are made.

    So it makes sense to invest in just a few highly advanced backends (llvm, gcc, msvc) and then just build frontends for those. Most projects choose llvm because, unlike the others, it was purpose built to be a common ground, but it's not a rule. For example, there is an in-developement rust frontend for GCC.

  • Western "media" strikes again

    Jump

  • Yeah, and nobody was forbidden to get out of East Berlin, right? And when the wall fell no one cheered. After all, the wall was to keep westerners out in the first place.

  • [Mostly solved?] audio distortion from hdmi on graphics card

    Jump

  • It's digital audio, not analog, I doubt the GPU could ever be an issue. I suspect either there was a bug in the interaction between pipewire and the drivers (on one side or the other), or an update changed the default sampling rate of pipewire

  • The Legend has that if you fire up visual studio 2018 with intellicode enabled, start typing "Priv" and only select the predictions it will write a production ready VB6 program for plant management.

  • "Ternary operator" means "operator that takes three things", like unary and binary operators take one and two things.

    In C there is an operator for conditional expressions (an 'if' that you can put inside expressions) and it looks like this condition ? trueBranch : falseBranch. It takes three expressions, so it's a ternary operator.

    Except it's the only ternary operator in C (and most languages, if they have one at all), so instead of calling it something like "conditional operator", they just call it "the ternary operator"

  • AFAIK one of these are technical limitations, it's just design choices. But in my experience, the design choices made following the gnome design guidelines tend to make apps with tiny faces

  • (after edit)

    I have no issue with the text size, I have an issue with enormous empty space around the text. It's fine if it's not perfect on a 21:9 display, but this wouldn't look good even on a 16:9 display.

    I'm also fine with the text not taking up the entire width, I aggre that it's less readable. But I think the window (not the text, the window) could utilise the width better.

    I say that the messages could be a little more spread out (i.e. my massages could be a little to the right while other's a little to the left) and just like the left sidepanel appears and disappears when the window is too thin, more sidebars could appear to the right when the window is very wide.

  • No, I want it to utilize the space a little bit more, this wouldn't look good even on a 16:9 display. Which is a shame because when windowed it looks really good.
