I decided to buy a rack + PC case and a new HDD. Since I wasn't expecting to need to change the HDD for years, I put it on the mount that has the screws in an annoying place. Guess which drive is dead on arrival -_- I'll have to remove the whole box from the rack I think to get to it

I'm happy with the new setup when it's running, but the constant issues are annoying (mainly pains of fresh linux setup or having to wait on parts and things to arrive on time)

I hate dark themes, do you? I suspect them to be more agressive on the retina.

I had to explain git merge to a senior level dev. It is 2025

Sigh. There are a number of 'app' makers out there that slap their website into a WebView framework and call it 'our app'. Are you fucking kidding me? If you develop an app, make it at the very least native, not a port. Lazy fuckers.

It's dying! What rant platform are we gonna use...

Whenever I feel bad about my engineering skills, I take a look at what people build who work in enterprise or the public sector, and I feel like a fucking 1337 pro.

Hi! I'm celebrating my 1000th up-vote! Such fame. Oke, the points are earned by my younger sister, but I will do my best to be as trending as she was!

Love this peaceful community where almost everyone respects each other.

I really think that devRant has a future.

Urgh, I can't get going on Mondays. Even in a calm environment and with a really nice project I can't get focused on my task.
What's wrong with me?

Wow Been a while since I opened this app. Hi devRant

Did any of you other nerds sort of just glide through math in school and felt inadequate once you got to the real world, like: "I can't be a real engineer, I barely understood trig!"

That was me, then I started studying the fourier transform about a week and a half ago (because I bought an Arduino and want to make real-time sound visualizations)

I found that I actually really enjoy math on my own time. Learning about complex numbers, Euler's formula, polar form, whatever whatever - it was exciting and I was doing practice problems on paper and enjoying it!

Hopefully this momentum continues. Maybe one day I can be a genuine tough-guy engineer with math skills.

I work with idiots.

That is all.

People skills. Knowing when I should shut up when talking about me and my experience.

How many of us tap their keys with their fingers extra hard even though the keyboard is responsive and flat enough? lol

I want to make one of my projects cross platform,
I pull up my thinkpad,
I clone my repo,
I cd into it,
I make
There's no make
I write a CMakeLists
It works after 10 copilot attempts
I open VS,
and it doesnt work

Why so much hate on PHP

Soo.. I bought a Transcend SSD and I wanted to make a backup of my _current_ backup ssd.

Bought it, plugged it up and fired up rsync. Although Transcend declares the SSD seq writes are up to >1G/s, it was at least x10 slower than that. Eventually all was copied. Wat surprised me was the disk usage.

Here are both the filesystems: the source and the destination (Transcend)

P.S. damn, imags are down.. attaching plaintext

```

Which miracle do you think will occur first?

Will Google create a file manager for Android that isn't garbage, or will Microsoft add ext4 support to Windows?

I bought Minecraft back in 2007 or 8. It was $20 and gave me access to Minecraft forever, all updates included.

Today Microsoft closed all the old mojang accounts and I no longer have access to Minecraft. I could have migrated to a Microsoft account, but it will be a cold day in hell if I ever open one of those.

Sounds like law suit material. Class action anyone?

It's the year when I did not renew domain I bought for my project.

Feels weird to stop bleeding money for a project I haven't finished

Testing direct image rendering from urls in JoyRant…

the lighter was invented before the match

I updated my system 3 hours ago, then closed by the case button before it finished. I got back home and surprise, I try to boot, gub errror.

I grab my arch live usb, but it has a broken installation of void in it.
I proceed to use RUFUS to burn an image of arch. But hey, i dont have the image. My key is 1gig only, so i go on archive.org to find an old one. I burn and boot into it.

I chroot into my arch. My keeb's shift doesn't work and I need to do pacman -S linux. Capital S.

God got my back and in my .bashrc, I found a capital S.
I deleted the rest of the alias, keep the S, source it and run the command.
When building initcpio, NVIDIA driver somehow is missing.
I insall it using the same method. I update with -Syu instead of -S linux.
I reboot. It works.

Now lvm and clang are already there. I overwrite.

7 heart attacks at least.

Week: 111 (Year 3)

Plans for the weekend?

Question: What’s a “this should be free” service that always costs money??

last Weekend : https://devrant.com/rants/19374363

How do you help coworkers that gaslight you about their understanding and skills? If they outright refuse help, yet their work is consistently low quality and unacceptable?

An other week without a backend, an other week closer to the deadline... Less than 2 months to go (excl 2 weeks of PTO :D)

Caching is a cruel mistress.

I've probably said that before, but I can't remember whether I've said it before or not, because caching is a cruel mistress.

Lost all the lead engineers in my org. Now I'm the most senior.

God help us all.
