s3 storage sucks. Requires you to implement special stuff in software. The s3fs is a terrible thing not supporting many native file operations. For example, i can't cp * /to-target. It can't do nothing.
So, that was a short adventure. Now i found: https://interserver.net/r/1035270/ (affiliate link, why not). 3,- 1tb storage WITH complete vps. 1gb / 1 core but it does great as sshfs drive. It works so fast, i gonna host complete projects on it like https://devrant.molodetz.nl. sshfs drives really have the comfort of a native drive. Boarded just uploaded 600Mb to snek in two minutes. That movie was completely streamable in the snek web interface, you could comfortably click trough the video.
So, time to make a custom script to push all data from s3bucket (blegh!) to this beautiful drive.10 -
I'm programming snek in snek. It offers now linux to every user. It's capped at 0.5 core and 512mb. It works fine. They new storage works great, that's how i could make this possible. With all this containers running (four at the moment) the server has a load of 0.17. Only doing git repositories in the container goes a bit slow because it goes over the network using sshfs. System seems stable. It's just cool to have a linux terminal in your web app. We can run snekbots in snek itself now! Develop and manage it in snek! I don't have picked a target audience yet for snek, but i think it's devs.3

OperAtIoN NoT PerMitteD.
I'll chown it harder than the Gulf of Mexico.
Edit: remote storage very bad for many environment files. For blobs it's fine. -
Technology is so fucked sometimes. Often I wish that we've stopped at the Tamagotchi. It also didn't have audio jack, usb and took ages on it's battery. Communicated more clear that GPT.
Also, with a Tamagotchi you always have at least one friend to talk to.7 -
So apparantly Cyberpunk 2077 runs on the Switch 2. What fuckery did Nvidia do to make that happen?!??!7

it's so comforting to live with Debian knowing that Debian is a journey, not destination. Slowly, step by step, you hone this system to be _exactly_ as you want it. it's computing on your terms.
I'm yet to wrap my head around the fact that what's on my screen is for my eyes only, and no one else anywhere in the world sees it, human or AI.10 -
We got a new marketing guy... Number 5 in 4 years. My colleague and I are betting if he will last half a year or not :D3

Streamii, you make jokes, but i don't. I deliver: https://molodetz.nl/project/...
A tamagotchi written in C using R especially for you. I'm sure it will work for 20 years. Cherish it.8 -
So a question.
I remember a news article recently urging all people to use python and rust and the like because of memory safety.....
somewhere way back whenever this bs was.
so a few times now I had chatgpt generate me a status window script because it was a one use thing just so I could see how far along a near 500 gb download was to finished.
and it repeatedly caused my machine to freeze from an unknown source of memory leakage as it gradually built up a ridiculous amount of overhead at a rate much faster than it should jhave from the few references and bits of scalar data that it was accumulating.
I know its means something else...
but its kind of funny just the same :P
my system crashed from what is supposed to be a managed language right ? exceptions and stack traces etc ?23 -
Sometimes we are ping pong balls being smashed from one side to the other. This is me, I'm currently studying a technology. Oops! Change of assignments! Plz study new tech! Ok thanks for the constant context-switching.6

I'm slowly but surely make my KDE Debian's UX better than what I was familiar with on macOS. It's already _way_ faster.
When I'll get UX done, I'll get to UI -- all kinds of beautification
pro tip: AI is VERY good at configuring linux for you4 -
So im a frontend developer. Yet i get an issue on my plate regarding a 504 error. Maybe i should ask whst css file this is part of. My god im looking into this for over an hour now…9

What is your longest remote desktop chain. Mine is currently at five!

I made an Ollama hub where you can share your Ollama resources with others to be used.
Long story, see https://ollama.molodetz.nl for information.
Uses of the API can just use their default api clients! For security people can only call chat completions api on the shared resources. Content gets validated before forwarded to your Ollama instance if you're a host.
I hope you guys like this concept. Donate your server!

So a few years ago I put tootsie rolls on little plates in the bathrooms at work. It took about a week before people started taking the tootsie rolls. I coined this experiment as the "bathroom candy" experiment.
Since it is April 1st I have revived this experiment, but this time I put Hersheys kisses on little plates. It will be an interesting experiment. But I am hoping for the phrase: "Who keeps leaving chocolates in the bathroom?!" or "Why are there Hersheys kisses in the bathroom?"
I expect people to be very wary of the "bathroom candy" this year. lol24 -
Stack Overflow has the best April fools prank!
They are doing an 8+ hour database migration on a business day during business hours!
The prank is the fact that it’s not a joke! They really decided this for some reason!4 -
Using chatpgt as my "rubber duck" has greatly improved the time it takes me to develop solutions. Ive been working at a small startup as the full stack dev; aka the entire IT team dev so having someone to 'talk' to that talks back really helps.
but damn, the way openAI brushes off where they get their training data and having so many artist friends IRL (painters, digital artists and musicians) really makes me hate what we have AI/ML doing for us.
seeing it used for the arts makes me feel so depressed because im reminded that big corpos really just want to make money for the investors.10 -
my phone bill is more expensive some reason. which is strange because that's illegal to do
they're like if you want to see bill details log in. ok I did. I see nothing mentioning it. check my last few bills emails. it's been 5$ more expensive since the new year.
actually I have a 1gb data plan and if I Google up good mobile plans this exact same provider is advertised as giving you 60gb data for 45$. I used to pay 47$ for 1 GB but now I'm paying 52$ for 1 GB it seems
yeah I think I'm going to go with a different company. I literally don't even use my phone unless the power goes out or something. I don't even want to be paying 50$ for something I'm not using. maybe you shouldn't have tried to illegally increase my pricing and then you could've kept me paying. dunno. byyyee6 -
That heart attack when important data isn't showing anymore, and you missed the note as to why, so now you're stressed out because you don't know what and how hard you fucked up
Also, fuck the dude for saying he did the deploy, telling the testers to test and only an hour or 2 later saying he didn't deploy to the right env2 -
Dear KDE Plasma, I'm sorry. I treated you way too harshly, unfairly even. Yes, you was unpolished back in 2018. Assuming you still were did nothing but prove my own ignorance.
Your out-of-the-box polish and support for modern screens, UI scaling, trackpads, smooth scrolling, etc. is unparalleled.3 -
You know what sucks? When AI appears smart but its explaination is so over your head you don't even fully grasp if it is bullshitting or not.
For reference, what the following does is decomposes several runs of a network, takes them as samples, then generates a distribution with those samples. It then applies a fourier transform on the samples, to get the frequency components of the networks derivatives (first and second order), in order to find winning subnetworks to tune, and enforces a gaussian distribution in the process.
I sort of understand that, but the rest is basically rocket science to me.
Starts with an explanation of basic neural nets and goes from there. Most of the meat of the discussion is at the bottom.

> A world government dictatorship is due to sit atop a massive global structure of control and 24/7 enslavement and most of its major pillars are included in something called Agenda 21 (since updated to Agenda 2030) which is interweaved with themes of ‘sustainable development’ and ‘biodiversity’ and justified by ‘climate change’.
even the cheesy bond villains are late on their projects, don't you see!5 -
I dig Debian so far. Here’s why I chose it:
- When something corpo doesn’t work on Arch, no one cares. But when it doesn’t work on Debian, it’s a big deal, and corpo people will be fixing it in no time. Good example is VSCod[e|ium] constantly crashing on Fedora: “it was fixed in kernel, all we have to do now is just wait for Fedora to catch up”.
- Complete and utter boringness/stability. When something breaks in Debian, it definitely broke for DenverCoder9 back in 2014 as well, and is easily fixable. You’re never the trailblazer, and with OS stuff that’s a good thing
- Complete and utter compatibility with everything. If you want to install/do X on Debian, someone else already did it and fixed everything for you
- Noble pedigree. “I use arch btw” is a running joke, but “oh, I use Debian” makes people respect your distro choice. Nobody hates Debian
One thing that transitioning people should know about GNU/Linux in general is that you shouldn’t try to replicate your previous experience with Windows/macOS in GNU/Linux.
GNU/Linux is a go kart, or a hot rod. You have to be involved. You have to be ready to tinker/fix things.
But one good thing about hot rods is that if you drive one, CIA can’t kill you with a remote car hack.12 -
Are people still questioning leaving Europe?
I was thinking it would probably be okay in general to stay. But then I see French and Germans are jailing political opponents.
IMO this is a huge red flag. They tried that shit here in the USA and even shot at political opponents. If they had succeeded I wonder if we would be in a civil war.
But Europe doing this concerns me more than Ukraine conflict. This feels like another build up to 1850 in Europe. I dunno, what are your feels over there? I wouldn't want to be in a one party country.25 -
what the flying fuck honestly
I know I can't eat cheese and it's because they make it from GMO bacteria I think...
holy shit. I'm actually not unable to eat ALL sugar. I can eat this one yogurt for some reason.
why the flying fuck are they GMOing fucking sugar. these fuckers are homicidal pieces of shit15 -
> The decision by European Union judges (dictators) to give people the right to have information about them deleted from search engine listings like Google is a scam by the El-lite and their toadies to hide their own background from public knowledge
oh that explains a lot actually...
information for me but none for thee
> This so-called ‘right to be forgotten’ is no more than an example of George Orwell’s ‘Memory Hole’ in which the Ministry of Truth (inversion) re-wrote historical documents to match the ever-changing state propaganda. Britain’s Information Commissioner’s Office even ordered Google to remove links to stories about Google removing links to stories. So much information that people have a right to see no longer appears in search engine listings and is essentially deleted – down the Memory Hole7 -
Why do people who put camera's on always insist others must do so as well? I don't mind when it's a special meeting like a retro or some form of team building thing, but I cannot be assed during standup - that MFer is meant to be over after 10 minutes. You guys go on an hour-long tangent, while I'm busy writing code, chatting to people and getting shit done, do you really need to see me not paying attention to the issues with the PHP project that are there because client X did something stupid. I'm already rolling my eyes while listening right now. Also, I don't want to put a "good" shirt on for 20 minutes to an hour meeting.19
