Yocto is the most overly complicated shit on earth! How the fuck did i ever get my board to boot? You get so easily lost in layers and bb and bbappend and there are like 20 flavours of assignement operators and to configure the kernel you need to run one command for menuconfig and then another right after to pull a diff out of the .config into your project. otherwise noone else will have your changes. TrY the same thing with the bootloader and the whole thing shits its pants. Also there are like four devicetree that are required for boot. And if you specially fuck up here, your hardware will be an expensive paperweight. Also there are like featuresets that enable shizz like wayland or ethernet but good luck finding out what in the actual genderbent jesus the thing you just configured does. And there is like no way to visualize any of it as its just a cockblock of text and files. Also if you use search the results are most likely useless. As the thing you are looking for is a filename and vscode does a text search only. Also you can add layers but whatever the fuck that means as a bsp is like a layer but so can also be a kernel patch or some rando variable change. And good luck fugurig out to which dir $PWD points to. As it could just be on the Elon Musk nazi base on the dark side of the moon. Also every folder starts with meta for some dumb reason. And if it starts compiling you could just aswell build a coffin and go into winter hibernation. It takes fucking forever. I have a 3800x and the build takes 1.5h. Why? Because, BECAUSE, B E C A USE! There is a require package called optee. Which need a python package. That package depends on a crypto lib thats written in rust. And since its all from source, it downloads the FUCKING rust compiler source and compiles the compiler to compile a lib that only takes like 5 seconds to compile. Also good luck figuring that out without constantly staring at the compile log. As there is some compilation time info but you need to write a parser for that first as there is no included anal -lyzing tool for it. I could keep on yappin' waaay longer about why dantes inferno is kindergarten compared to yocto, but i dont have enough alcohol in the house to fuel that.1

I want to stdout a bunch of logging data
but also create a HUD over it
evidently not an easy task
so let's say you have libraries you made that print logs to stdout
well they would mess up the terminal output...
and then I guess you have to capture what they're trying to print and process it differently
annoying
no easy way to convert logging apps to terminal HUDs I guess
it has to be designed as a terminal app to begin with

So apparantly VSCode is the new shit in the automation industry. B&R just presented their fork of it and Siemens showed off Simatic AX. One thing you really need to see is, that Siemens apparantly uses the VSCode Pets plugin in their marketing material.7

the AIs are reaaaalllly heavily degrading now
now they're hallucinating their own changes to code that they didn't even do
what happened during the bing AI era also. once all the hype was gone suddenly the output degraded. all very strange why it would do that
of course nobody knows how they built their AIs. they just throw things at it and if it increases accuracy of results then that's what they do, but there's no methodology to the madness of building these things. so maybe the devs are just changing random parameters to try to keep up with management's asks but instead they degrade the accuracy of the results over time40 -
... I'll be honest.
I think something in my mind is fucked.
I can not work repetitive tasks.
I can't. I can't. I fucking can't.
My primary task should be to program stuff. Not configure bullshit for a living.
I just want something challenging, something new, something interesting.

The worst part about starting a new project is choosing what framework to make it in. Everyone always has their wrong opinion. No, we aren’t going to use rust. No, not react. Not angular you old man.6

as im shitting on the toilet (again) today im gonna write this rant (my shit is liquid this time very watery and stinks a lot too btw): i will (i just shitted 2 balls of shjt lol and then it stopped) start a new challenge (now its liquid shit again). the challenge is, i will be trading memecoins but not like a degenerate, actually strategically and smart. i draw lines n shit and predict the chart. i started with 2k (my life savings) and already im at 4k. i scalp and trade little by little
i called this challenge THE HOMELESSMAN CHALLENGE. the challenge is, I AM NOT ALLOWED TO EAT ANY FOOD UNTIL I CASHOUT AT LEAST 1$ PROFIT (thats why im shitting liquid shit rn cz my stomach is deformed i havent eaten since yesterday night lol). this means i will either make consistent profits or die of starvation.
the challenge ends once i hit 100k profit. this is double stimulation. i get less fat And i get more rich. or i just die. win win.
good. now that i wrote this rant imma head over and wipe my watery asshole from this disgusting liquid shit3 -
Ragnar, the devRant anti spam service is ready!
Down voting is implemented now. Will see at next spam message, what will be soon. They're crazy lately.
The anti spam service is added to systemd to one of my powerful servers. I promise that it will be more reliable than my LLM.
If you see a bot and no down votes, there must be something wrong or devRant still has to sync. Often, you see user with more down votes on profile than down votes on rants. Such scenario can happen.
That was it! Only some fine tuning left based on words / regex.
Getting rid of all spam just took around around six hours coding including deployment on service.
I hope it's appreciated.29 -
as i was wiping my ass after shitting right now i literally grabbed shit inside the toilet paper that was somehow stuck to my asshole. it didnt fall down in toilet. literal shit was stuck to my asshole skin like a glue. so i was holding basically my shit with my hand. it was a tiny ball of shit tho so nun too scary. most of the big shit has fallen out6

For a moment I thought work laptop died because the screen suddenly went pitch black but it was just Windows deciding it was a good time to update graphics drivers. It crashed the emulator I was running btw.1

I thought to implement nmp and webpack for this project. I didnt take in account the difficulty level. Bundling the scss is fine, but the scripts are hell. There are so many. And there not small either, no there are script with 60+ functions and they all need to be available globally.
How this is working in the first place is already a mystery. This has been taking multiple days now and i’m so very fucking tired with it.8 -
GUYS GUYS IM GETTING A PRENUP
If I understood it correctly it means I can just borrow shitload of money and blow it all and go into debt and they cannot do anything because all my shit belongs to my wife.
Time to buy bitcoin and befriend a junkie.10 -
Our application calls Fucking Microsoft Excel over COM to figure out what letters denote year, month, and day in the current locale.
Hint: date format strings are highly standardized so it's always y, m and d7 -
I always wanted to post something under the devrant tag.
I've worked on the anti spam bots! End result: one process handling four bots that down votes users with a low upvote count having certain content. What that certain content is, is still to be defined / fine tuned. Now it has very minimal criteria but it did successfully flag all spam posts tonight. Down vote function is not ready yet - I did not know what value to post. Probably @feuerherz / @Lensflare can provide that to me.
Not my best source ever, it's made quite quickly and it literally started with c/p-ing stuff from everywhere like several devrant clients on github to make one complete one. They all sucked :P
I hope to finish this project tomorrow night and it will be then of spam as far as I've seen how effective they are.
This is the source code: https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/...
Review regarding code quality isn't needed for this one, since I've spent zero effort regarding quality. But tips about how to recognize scammers even better is highly appreciated. A review on other projects on molodetz would be appreciated btw, especially on C stuff.

Whoever played Detroit Become human in the past:
Did you have some tense conversations afterwards and imagined yourself as seeing the different paths you could take or do I have to tell my parents I’m autistic?
Also goddamn this game hit me in right in the Filz, I also played Heavy Rain ages ago and must say I love this format4 -
coffee coffee coffee
all praise be to the coffee god
I wake up at best at 2 pm. I have my one meal at 5-7pm. in reality I wake up at 4pm or 5 pm generally
I am now
going to drink coffee at 5pm and then make a giant dinner
and see how it goes
and if life is better this way
civilization smizivilizations
(and then do midnight cleaning)
am I insane? or is it this insane world trying to make us like one of THEM driving us crazy?!2 -
I'm a bit too busy for it, but if someone wants to make an auto spam down vote bot that uses three accounts to downvote spam automatically, I can make three e-mailadresses for you that you can use to create devrant accounts for the bots. Such bot would be very appreciated. Also, for AI enthousiasts - AI can recognize this with a 3b model probably.
But even a few keyword matching instead of AI is probably enough. Let's ban the word crypto in lower and uppercase. Case of the camel even and don't forget the snake. (Sorry dottii :P)34
