@mullvadnet@mastodon.online @lostgen@det.social Sorry, but you're writing this claptrap to an audience that fully understands the Paradox of Tolerance. You cannot be in favor of "free speech" and fund fascism or other movements that plan to use state or private violence to suppress speech. If you, dear Social Media Underlying in charge of a Mullvad's social media account, are some wide eyed 20 year old who hasn't learned this yet, go learn the lesson and get out of that corporation as soon as you can. If you're otherwise, expect us to assume you're lying and cannot be trusted.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social I fear two major issues with genAI as affecting real devs:

  1. How do they find us and our work, after being drowned in slop?
  2. How many companies are going to go bankrupt or have to significantly downsize after they went all in on AI and are now finding it doesn't do what they want, and costs more than they can afford?

This search is somewhat horrifying:

https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ftsa&q=%22Devuan%22+linux+%22woke%22&ia=web

I thought the selling point of Devuan was supposed to be the lack of systemd (rightly or wrongly) not that it was a reaction against Debian having a code of conduct (which, naturally, the right wing have misrepresented.)

Also someone pointed at a fork of Devuan which is supposed to be the "Anti-fascist version of Debian without systemd" called "AntiX". Yeah. Couldn't they have called it something else rather than implying its selling feature is that they're all really into Wayland?

Anyway. Has anyone forked systemd yet? Maybe to the state it was a few years ago? It was damned nigh nearly perfect then.

FWIW trying a braised pork recipe. May simplify at some point to see if I can make it easier.

Both the beef burgundy recipe I follow and this one advise frying the meat chunks before cooking. I was wondering if that's strictly necessary. Especially as, with any kind of stew, "sealing in the juices" isn't really a thing that's needed anyway. I mean, you want the meat to take on the flavor of the sauce and vice versa right?

Now, add to that that the consensus is that frying meat does NOT seal in any juices, and... it just seems unnecessary.

https://www.thespruceeats.com/does-searing-meat-seal-in-juices-995432 claims it *is* necessary, and comes up with a slightly convincing argument: that the meat won't brown during its time cooking, and the browning - called, apparently, the Maillard reaction - adds all kinds of new flavors to the meat that aren't there if you don't brown it. That said, most of the pork last night went from pink to white in the frying plan and then other than a few marks, stayed resolutely white for the remainder of the frying process, regardless of how long it went for.

Perhaps it would have been better to broil the meat? A clue is in TFA: despite the recipe suggesting I need to fry it in oil, TFA says "Since you're not adding oil to the skillet, you don't have to worry about smoke points. This means if you can heat the surface of your skillet to 500 F or hotter, you'll get a better sear on your meat. "

So maybe I shouldn't fry in oil? That'll ruin the non-stick frying pan though. Again, maybe I should broil the meat next time?

Thoughts?

Never heard of this film format before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9.5_mm_film

Basically nearly 16mm quality but using about 1/2 of the film, by inserting sprocket holes between frames rather than on the sides. No room for audio though, but if you had to go back to film in the 21st century, I'm guessing you'd probably do audio differently anyway.

Accidentally revealed my politics to my hair stylist today and fortunately she's a Democrat. Well, pretty much guessed from our previous conversations but good to know.

MAGA Republicans are such a-holes right now that I wouldn't put one past being very unprofessional knowing my politics.

(Edited because there are obviously Republicans who are temporarily not supporting their party because they too are disgusted.)

Do they mean they're all going to die somehow (but not commit suicide presumably), or are they going to kill us but are acknowledging that we're actually the ones in the right here and therefore the ones that'll go to heaven?

Part of my mind goes to odd places from time to time. Like, a feature I've never seen in a programming language is support for genders. Classes could have genders for example. At first I thought you could do it the same way romance languages do: if it has a name ending in 'o' it's male, in 'a' it's female.

But then I thought even further, and because there's an element within the software development movement that's transphobic, we could make the language support, in theory, an infinite number of genders. Just to piss them off. Especially if you got them used to the idea everything was male or female with version 1 of the language (I mean ANSI Q 2026.1)

No, I don't know how it would work, what functionality it might bring, or why or what possible advantage this could have over normal programming languages.

I'm not asking much, just for the "lock" keys - Caps, Num, etc - to be toggles, not push buttons. Close to 50% of the key presses on them are by accident, and the only reason it's that low is that each accidental press requires one non-accidental press to undo it.

You'd have thought in an era where people spend $400 on keyboards with giant chunks missing, someone would have dealt with that problem by now.

Doubt I'll get the job but nice to see a listing that isn't essentially both ignorant of how computing works and a red flag saying "You'll never develop new skills here".

Related: Any language that allows you to type something like: x = [1, 2, 3]; should also allow you to type: x = [1, 2, 3,]; Oddly PHP is the only language I've used that accepts this. It looks a little ugly, but it becomes really necessary when you have something like this: people = [ { name: "Alice", age: 42 }, { name: "Bob", age: 29 }, { name: "Carol", age: 35 }, ]; The cut, paste, and tweak when adding Dan just got less fiddly.

I kinda like the idea of "!" FWIW, though I wouldn't use it ;-) I'm old fashioned so the third option is not what I'd want to do. I gather at least one language writer added that after being lambasted by people claiming JS "proved" you don't "need" it. No, JS proved that the compiler doesn't necessarily need it if you limit syntax in general. It doesn't prove anything beyond that. Code should always be explicit. It's not just the compiler that reads it.

Another downside of genAI: the Linux devs are busy removing drivers for anything they think are unlikely to be widely used, because the amount of slop AI reports they're getting is overwhelming them.

Probably not so much an issue with things like old mice controller cards, but we're still having problems with poor support for anything but a handful of wireless cards.

@vollink Hopefully you're right, the only issue is I've gone through several rounds of apt-get dist-upgrade hoping that the next update will fix the issue and build a kernel, so depending on how Debian determines a kernel is "the previous version", it might not be enough.

Very reluctant to reboot my laptop at the moment as every update I do fails because the kernel and whatever version of the proprietary Nvidia drivers Debian 14 bundles are, right now, incompatible. I assume there's some way to resolve this that doesn't involve going back to nouveau (not because I don't want to, but because for some reason the graphical application I want to use it with most isn't compatible with nouveau.)

At some point though I know the laptop will crash and I'm on borrowed time as a result...

@vollink@wandering.shop Yeah that's about the only potential issue. I've been fairly fortunate with Comcast and, before that, Earthlink - they only block 25. Your ISP blocking 80 but not 443 suggests they haven't put a lot of thought into it.

@vollink@wandering.shop That's what this tool does, it manages everything for you. (Edit: removed "no" as it was unclear whether a no or yes meant "You don't need to do anything every 40 days") Basically it works kinda like a dynamic DNS server. The client will go to LE and say "I want to renew vollink.com", LE will say "OK, well just make sure _acme-challenge.vollink.com is a TXT "abcd". The client then tells the ACME DNS server to respond "abcd" when it gets the request for .acme-dns.vollink.com. The thing is just glue to ensure that the request ends up going to the ACME DNS server and the ACME DNS server knows which domain is being requested. It doesn't change, it's just set up once.

@vollink@wandering.shop You add an NS record to your main domain, eg: acme-dns NS vollink.ddns.com What you end up with would be something like (these are all fixed, unchanging, things in your DNS despite the odd names): acme-dns NS vollink.ddns.com www CNAME vollink.ddns.com _acme-challenge CNAME .acme-dns.vollink.com. And that means when LE looks up _acme-challenge.vollink.com it'll be redirected to .acme-dns.vollink.com. which it will look up using your ACME DNS server on your own port 53. The thing you'll get from the client. The other nice part about this is you can use it (and the examples above assume you will) to get a wildcard domain cert rather than one for each host, which can be a whole lot easier when setting up Apache/nginx and just means you only need to renew one certificate, and don't need to do anything on the LE end if you add another subdomain.

@vollink@wandering.shop As someone who uses this, the one recommendation I would make is reboot the ACME DNS server on a regular basis as it doesn't reload its own cert when it expires.

@vollink@wandering.shop Do they block incoming port 53? There's a way to make automated ACME renewals via DNS though it's all a PITA which I know is one thing you're trying to avoid: https://github.com/acme-dns/acme-dns

It's impressive how disastrous gAI, a fraud, has been to crypto, also a fraud.

I guess they're competing for the same hardware, and the conmen who were promoting crypto have moved to promoting AI instead, moving people away from crypto and reducing its value.
