PS: Weird post to downdoot. Explain yourselves, you cowards, lol.

You’re not wrong, you’re just being a dick about it in a thread that is literally about the time one drank the Kool Aid.

Criticising people that have reflected their previous choices/views and are acting different now is unnecessary.

Also kinda ironic that Zig itself takes a very different direction as it has a strict no LLM policy and recently moved from GitHub to Codeberg.

Similarly, make your methods short - really, really short. If you have 10 lines of code and put them each in their own method, great! Maybe it isnt the fastest code to read - but readable method names will make it obvious what each line does, and combining independent methods together is far easier than breaking one massive method into chunks.

I agree with a lot you said and this reads like advice straight from Robert Martins “Clean Code”, but I’ve recently read a discussion between him and John Ousterhout, where John makes compelling arguments for longer, “deeper” functions. I found the discussion very interesting and actually started reading “A Philosophy of Software Design” shortly after. Would recommend!

I would say most of us are not built for that. Seeing all this horrible shit the internet offers you can’t be good for anyones mental health. In this sense: congratulations on escaping the desensitization.

tl;dr: MongoDB is Web Scale.

I’ve read in another article that NG Lv 1 means that the drive is recoverable and NG Lv 2 that the drive is unrecoverable.

I use GitLab at work and Forgejo at home. GitLab is huge, Forgejo is lighter. GitLab Runner is very nice, Woodpecker was a pain to setup but it now does everything I need. GitLab supports subgroups, Forgejo does not. Forgejo is FOSS with a non-profit behind it, GitLab Inc. is for-profit.

At the end, I like to work with both. GitLab has lots of features, but for my own stuff Forgejo serves me very well and I like the openness of it.

How about private repositories?

In many cases, yes, we do allow them (under certain conditions)!

Our priority is to support the free content and free and open-source software ecosystems. As such, we cannot invest time, hardware and resources to provide private hosting for everyone. However, contributors to the aforementioned ecosystems can use up to 100 MB of private content at their own convenience.

Uhhh, git add -p?

Malicious design is putting it mildly. This is fraud with a bit of blackmail sprinkled in. They bricked perfectly functioning trains that their customers already had paid for, because another workshop was chosen for servicing them after the warranty period of the train ended. Then they charged over 20k € to unlock trains they deliberately locked before. The unlocking itself took them 10 minutes.

In a just world the Newag CEOs would go to jail for this, but sadly we all know this won’t happen.

no way

I’ve had great success with restic. It will handle your 4TB just fine, here’s some stats of mine:

Total File Count: 78374
Total Size: 13.324 TiB

and another one, not as large but with lots of files

Total File Count: 1295210
Total Size: 2.717 TiB

Restic will automatically deduplicate your data so your duplicates won’t waste storage at your backup location.

I’ve recently learned about backrest which can serve as a restic UI if you’re not comfortable with the cli, but I haven’t used it myself.

To clean your duplicates at the source I would look into Czkawka as another lemming already suggested.

I mean, calling out Musks hypocrisy is not a bad thing per se, but is it really news?

At the end of the day a lot of people choose to remain on a platform that got bought by an gigantic asshole, who can now do whatever he wants with it. That’s how it works and being upset about it just shows that many users are either naive or delusional. Twitter can’t be saved, there’s nothing left.

Combined with the fact that most Lemmy users probably know about this and already chose alternative platforms a long time ago, articles like these rarely cause more than a shrug, at least for me.

But hey, if it get’s a few more people off of twitter (especially like large institutions as you mentioned), I won’t complain. As time passes I just tend to think that everyone who still stays on Twitter maybe belongs there.

I don’t know anything about Android AOSP, so I found this clarification important:

This does not mean that Google is making Android a closed-source platform, but rather that the open-source aspect will only be released when a new branch is released to AOSP with those changes, including when new full versions or maintenance releases are finished.

Electron. Many apps nowadays are just headless browsers and browsers are huge and complex. It’s nice from a development perspective, because you can (re)use web tools for desktop apps but it’s very resource hungry.

I’m all for removal of the root cause.

We will have more salespeople next year because we really need to explain to people exactly the value that we can achieve with AI. So, we will probably add another 1,000 to 2,000 salespeople in the short term.

Well, good luck!

I can’t wait for the AI bubble to burst. It’s going to be hilarious to see these kinds of CEOs falling flat on their faces. Unfortunately, it will not be the CEOs who will suffer the most from the consequences.

It’s fucking BILD. Tell me when those bastards spew something else than disinformation and hatred and maybe I’ll care. Otherwise it’s just business as usual.

You’re right.

We’ve decided that IPFS is not yet ready for prime time. We’ll still link to files on IPFS from Anna’s Archive when possible, but we won’t host it ourselves anymore, nor do we recommend others to mirror using IPFS. Please see our Torrents page if you want to help preserve our collection.
