1. English:
Hello, how are you?
Perfection...
There is a very good reason why the Internet is written in English and not Chinese.
2. Spanish:
Hola, ¿cómo estás?
Funny ass language. Beautiful women tho.
3. Chinese (Simplified):
你好，你怎么样？ (Nǐ hǎo, nǐ zěnme yàng?)
Ugly, disgusting and retarded. Honestly, you could create letters and then use the letters for words. Instead of creating new letter for every new word. You could really see they didn't really think this through. It started with simple characters, 一二三人. Then they hit scaling problem pretty quick. The problem is that they still use this ancient letters.
4. Japanese:
こんにちは、お元気ですか？ (Konnichiwa, ogenki desu ka?)
Actually, looks and sounds beautiful. But they still use the fucking Chinese letters.
I guess it's not as bad.
5. Korean:
안녕하세요, 어떻게 지내세요? (Annyeonghaseyo, eotteoke jinaeseyo?)
Cute. Extra points for getting rid of Chinese letters from their system.
6. Russian:
Привет, как дела? (Privet, kak dela?)
Great, but fucking hard ass language.
7. Arabic:
مرحبًا، كيف حالك؟ (Marhaban, kayfa halak?)
Can't comprehend shit.
8. Hindi:
नमस्ते, कैसे हो? (Namaste, kaise ho?)
I'll be honest. It looks cool.
9. Greek:
Γειά σας, πώς είστε; (Yia sas, pos iste?)
Chad as fuck. But still looks ugly.
10. Hebrew:
שלום, מה שלומך? (Shalom, ma shlomcha?)
Looks cool, like YuGiOh n shit.
11. Thai:
สวัสดี, สบายดีไหม? (Sawasdee, sabai dee mai?)
Crazy, it looks exactly as it sounds. Ding dong ping diong.
12. Vietnamese:
Xin chào, bạn khỏe không? (Xin chào, bạn khỏe không?)
Their Guerrilla warfare was genius. The language is fucking shit tho.
13. Tamil:
வணக்கம், எப்படி இருக்கீர்கள்? (Vaṇakkam, eppaṭi irukkīrkaḷ?)
Adding this to UNICODE is a disrespectful.
14. Bengali:
হ্যালো, আপনি কেমন আছেন? (Hyālō, āpni kēmōn āchēn?)
Cool awesome.
15. Punjabi:
ਹੈਲੋ, ਤੁਸੀਂ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਹੋ? (Hello, tusīṁ kivēṁ hō?)
Cool.
16. Turkish:
Merhaba, nasılsınız?
17. Polish:
Cześć, jak się masz?
Sounds like retool. Yikes.
18. Swahili:
Habari, hujambo?
19. Ukrainian:
Привіт, як справи? (Pryvit, yak spravy?)
Just speak Russian. Fuck this sublanguage.
20. Georgian:
გამარჯობა, როგორ ხარ? (Gamarjoba, rogor khar?)

Hospitals creep the fuck outta me. The excess smell of Dettol makes me wonder how many people died within a 10 meter radius and if any of them are "lingering" around.10

Found a nice house I want to buy. It is at the moment in foreclosure. So, we need the documents for it, to see if it worth it.
Documents are held by an agency. They want 360 € as an annual subscription service to share it with us. Sure.. No issue, let's contact the court.
Oh, the court says they cannot give us a copy, we can just look at it. After making an appointment in person and driving down there. How is the agency getting it, then? After all, the agency promises access to all foreclosure documents Germany wide. They can give me a fucking copy. Court states on its website, there won't be any answer via email. I need to call them and go down in person.
Well, this is why the game is rigged. I have nothing against a service that accumulates all these information from around the country. That's a fair business model. But then the enshittification started and everyone else gets worse service so I have little choice but to use their service.4 -
I feel like switching from macOS to Debian started some kind of transformation within me

Software RAID 1 is better than hardware RAID 1! Here's why:
1. Hardware RAID controllers do fail, and when they do, they kill all hard drives connected to them.
2. If your controller didn't fry your hard drives when it failed, you'll have to find the exact replacement, or you can kiss your data goodbye. You installed a hardware RAID array using second hand Broadcom controller three years ago, and now it failed? You better get on looking for the same controller of same revision running the same firmware version (of course you can't update firmware yourself) if you want your data back. Oh, Broadcom discontinued this model? Tough cookies. With software RAID, everything is easily recoverable.
3. You save a lot of money you can invest in other parts of your system. Good hardware controllers, even second hand ones, don't cost less than $200.
Performance loss is negligible.
RAID built into your motherboard is the worst of both worlds: it's just the software RAID you can't reallly control. Don't do that.
Hardware RAID is only worth it if you have a contract with your hardware supplier that says they're responsible for managing your RAID array. They have the resources to replace failed controllers properly. You know how IBM installs full rack worth of servers just to disable 70% of them because of your plan limitations? It's easier for them to do that than to physically go there and take servers away, just to reinstall them when you grow. Yeah, that kind of contract at that kind of level. If you're there, you don't need me telling you all that.
TL;DR: if you want to buy a two 8TB hard drives for $150 each on newegg and a used RAID controller to make RAID 1 array, you can make both 16TB _and_ make your system more reliable. Reliability is what you're after if you want RAID 1, isn't it?
What are you do... wha... no! stop! are you gonna buy a raid box from Aliexpress? are you fucking crazy?!8 -
Mother-in-law was visiting this morning (love her, lovely woman) and being a good son-in-law, I set out/up the coffee maker before leaving for work (I knew she'll want coffee).
About an hour I get a text message from my wife.
W: "Mom is here and wants some coffee. How do I make coffee in that thing on the countertop?"
<It's a Keurig>
Me: "First, press the power button to get the water up to the brewing temperature."
W: "I know that, I'm not stupid. Where is the power button?"
Me: "The top row of buttons, the first button, it looks just like the power button on the remote control."
W: "Got it. Now what? Its not working"
Me: "You need to wait until it's done warming up. Takes about 30 seconds."
W: "Is it supposed to make that sound? Something is wrong."
Me: "No, its normal. Be patient."
W: "No, something is wrong. Its not supposed to be that loud."
Me: "Sounds like a jet engine taking off, yes, been using it for almost 10 years, this isn't new."
W: "Stop being mean. Never mind. It stopped. What now?"
Me: "Put the pod in the little basket, pull down the handle, and press the second button from the top."
W: "Not working"
Me: "Did you pull the handle all the way down, so it locks?"
W: "Still not working. Now what?"
Me: "Weird. Send me a picture, I can't see what you see."
W: "Never mind, its working now. This would have gone a lot faster if you told me what to do from the start."
My prayer today is thanking Jesus for patience. Amen.11 -
Vibe coding should be punished of 7 years in jail and a 10000€ fine. Doing so while screen sharing should add 2 years and 5000€ on top.13

How much should I be concerned with protecting the OS filesystem from being fragmented by writing large amounts of data to multiple files?
I am using a filesystem that I think is either ext2 or ext3. I need to convert files that might be as large as 1GB to csv. Not sure how big the files will be. Right now the existing conversion code uses fprintf to do every single line of these files (ugh...). I would like to do bulk conversions and then write to disk. I am assuming 8GB of system ram, with probably half that free at any time.
I plan on adding a feature to do bulk conversions (multiple files in sequence). Wondering if I can do these in parallel and write after conversion. So would need to store in ram. Only write one at a time. I feel like this would be better on the filesystem. I was stage writing. If files are large enough I wonder how many I can stage at once. Have not been given an example file yet.
Am I overthinking or should I be treating the filesystem with kit gloves?21 -

Why does it feel like people i never knew or did anything to were trying to systematically get me killed during this gay ass time period where they pretend to be dead junkie pedophile psychos from my childhood? Like everyone was out to steal what little happiness I had on the way in could have had after wasting a bunch of my younger years ?
And then like everyone's some fucking retard making threats in retard speak?
I just want to be around people who don't suck so hard, why is that so difficult a thing to accomplish ?1 -
So today I got to talking about "plane jacking" with a coworker. To me it has always been called hijacking a plane. I have heard of car jacking though. For some reason plane jacking sounded like masturbation in a plane. Don't know why.
Me: So calling it plane jacking is going to lead to someone attempting to join the plane jacking mile high club and having the toilet damage their penis due to sucking.
Coworker: Nobody is long enough to have their penis reach into there...
Me: I am so sorry. I feel bad for you.
Coworker: ...
Me: That was really good wasn't it?
Coworker: Yeah, but I hate it. <laughs>13 -
Is it year 2025?
Wrong, it's still year 2000 in Japan.
People need to die entirely and start over, but they don't die. Need to create cancer in here honestly.
Look at this modern website.
