Profoundly Nerdy

<p>My retro computing niche is source code archaeology: the art of reconstructing maintainable source code from disassembly and reverse engineering. It&#39;s harder than it sounds but also fascinating and rewarding. I also enjoy working with unpopular or niche programming languages. I very much follow the beat of a different drum.</p>

    What&amp;#39;s a good rule of thumb for differentiating on sight vibe coded bullshit from projects that simply leverage AI in some capacity? Discuss. #askfedi #ai #vibecode #bullshit

    What is likely to replace #Reddit, at least eventually? It used to be &amp;quot;the front page of the Internet&amp;quot; having displaced #Usenet in this capacity. Reddit has slowly turned to shit. #askfedi

    As someone who has had it with Reddit&amp;#39;s heavy handedness and is looking into Lemmy again, where should I go? I see the Readdthat instance, but the pun notwithstanding I&amp;#39;m not sure if that&amp;#39;s the best instance for a Reddit Refugee. Suggestions? #reddit #lemmy #askfedi

    Any suggestions on a sub $500 printer that reliably self-levels its bed and has an enclosure? I have cats. I had an Ender 3 several years ago. I couldn&amp;#39;t get it to level. Zero successful prints. I don&amp;#39;t want a repeat. #3dprinter #askfedi

    I look forward to new releases of Raku. When I first started using the language &amp;quot;Hello, World!&amp;quot; took north of 300ms as measured by `time`. Now it&amp;#39;s down to ~100ms; #Perl is only so much faster. If that&amp;#39;s what the #Rakulang folks can do with a hard to optimize compiler, I&amp;#39;m really looking forward to RakuAST. I&amp;#39;m sure that will take time to improve too, I get it. 1. Make it work. 2. Make it pretty. 3. Optimize it. What&amp;#39;s left for #Rak...

    I may have bricked a ThinkNode M1 due to a flashing mishap. It just says, &amp;quot;loading&amp;quot; but the firmware payload never seems to start. Attempting to use the web-based flasher causes Chrome to lockup at the select USB device popup. Holding the reset pinhole button at the bottom just power cycles the device. No failsafe mode. Is there a way to fix this locally from a Linux machine? #meshtasic #meshcore

    Can someone recommended good meal creation guides for home canned/lacto-fermented foods? Any suggestions on what to plant in a small garden? #canning #lactofermenting #prepping #gardening

    Is there a guide for disabling all of the AI bullshit on stock Google Pixel 10&#39;s Android install that I can give to a nontechnical user? #android #privacy #ai #askfedi

    I&amp;#39;m looking for a modern introduction to #C. Something that is slow and steady but through. This is as much for systems programming on Linux as embedded work; I intend to do a bit of both. Any suggestions would be helpful. #programing #programinghelp #askfedi
