For personal projects I’ve just got a VPS where me and a couple of partners in crime push over ssh. It’s very informal and merges are requested in our group chat.

At my previous place of employment we selfhosted gitlab. I much prefer that over corporate github. I want my own fork, not a shared repo.

Six-seven

I have an idea of how they could reduce the fish requirements.

How about using shared libraries instead of bundling everything in every snap all the times?

Amazingly it reduces RAM usage as well.

It’s a good way to keep the exploit around for seven days, too, if you apply it right away.

I’m developing an app as a side project, but testing can only happen meaningfully out in the field. I found a breaking bug yesterday, asked Claude to fix and deploy over remote session. I installed the update and continued ny testing session.

I sure wouldn’t want that to go away.

Iran has a professional army with a ground force of 300k.

That’s about the same number of boots the US has. It’ll be no small logistic feat to get that operation a chance.

The president again boasted he has “stopped eight wars”

It doesn’t really count if you were the one who didn’t start those eight wars.

Personally, I’ve prevented nine cases of underage drinking this week.

Yeah, but I’m not gonna go mug shopping until I’ve had my coffee

Same as I do every morning. A big mug of coffee and a big shit.

No amount of money would change that.

I work at a startup that classifies and extracts data from often very fuzzy sources.

We are encouraged to use agents for development. We use models in our services for things like pinpointing Coca-Cola* cans in YouTube videos. We offer our customers LLMs to discover how Coca-Cola and Pepsi are presented on YouTube.

*Soda scenario imaginary. I don’t want to dox my niche, but it’s similar enough problems that we solve.

Are you looking on truth social?

When I’m overwhelmed I lay off alcohol and pastimes.

It stresses me a lot to have things undone. It even affects my sleep.

It helps to write down everything that needs doing, so that I can detach from thinking about it at night or over the weekend. The note will be there on my desk/fridge in the morning so I don’t forget. Check of the easiest things first to reduce the cognitive load of context-switching.

Actually…

I got married seven years ago. We could bring our own music to the ceremony, but it had to be on audio CD.

None of our modern computers have any optical drive, but we have an USB DVD burner. We just couldn’t get any modern system to complete a burn, it just kept failing halfway through.

After many hours I installed OS X on my MorphOS PowerBook G4 from 2005 to use the built-in drive and burn through iTunes.

It used to be a cakewalk. Now not so much.

Auto-cpufreq only changes the CPU governor based on your preference for load and power source. In my experience you need to disable the intel_pstate driver to see real gains in the powersave/conservative governors. That’s true for all three options.

Tlp can also manage power to radios, ports, devices. Gains are small over auto-cpufreq, and it can be a bit finicky not to lose some part you actually wanted to keep powered on.

I’m not very familiar with power-profiles-daemon, but I think it sets governor and rules for screen/sleep timeout. You’ll probably see better gains without intel_pstate there, too.

We recently retired our color laser printer of ten years for an epson ecotank. I’m happy with it two months in, and only the black has depleted some 10% with the Mrs doing a couple of color copies daily.

Hobbit drinking songs.

You can drink your fancy ales. You can drink them by the flagon. But the only brew for the brave and true comes from the Green Dragon

I can never get past their cloudflare captchas. I guess I must be a bot.

I got drunk and bought a t-shirt on eBay.

It featured a rainbow unicorn with the text “HAIL SATAN”.

I would assume any project that has more than a handful of contributors to have AI-assisted code in it.

I’m probably living in my little start-up bubble, so my view is probably skewed. The majority of commits I see have not had any code written by humans. Planned, specified and reviewed by senior developers with fancy degrees and a decade of experience in average, though.

Things move fast, but I’m sure a lot of older and bigger organisations are taking it slower because of the legal unknown.

I got a new job in the last year. I think it was through LinkedIn, but might’ve been through indeed. (software engineer going on his second decade)
