I first tried vi in the early 90s, before I had easy access to online resources. I had to open a new shell and kill the vi process to exit it. Next time I dialed into my usual BBS I asked how to exit that thing. But since then I’ve liked it, because vi has been on every system I ever ssh’ed into.

Docker is a set of tools, that make it easier to work with some features of the Linux kernel. These kernel features allow several degrees of separating different processes from each other. For example, by default each Docker container you run will see its own file system, unable to interact (read: mess) with the original file system on the host or other Docker container. Each Docker container is in the end a single executable with all its dependencies bundled in an archive file, plus some Docker-related metadata.

There’s also a programming language named after him: https://dangermouse.net/esoteric/piet.html

Yes, exactly.

I do enjoy the new assistant in JetBrains tools, the one that runs locally. It truly helps with the trite shit 90% of the time. Every time I tried code gen AI for larger parts, it’s been unusable.

I was in the same boat. Years at Contabo, until they became dogshit and then moved to Netcup. No problems with them so far.

I hear C++ was greatly inspired by the fifth circle of hell.

Not with that attitude.

The Samsung shop hands out 1.4mb JSON responses for order tracking, with what I estimate 99% redundant information that is repeated many times in different parts of the structure.

I run an Android TV box on my Smart TV, because I don’t trust them on the internet.

Oh, then I need to give it another try.

Yeah. I have a mini PC with an AMD GPU. Even if I were to buy a big GPU I couldn’t use it. That frustrates me, because I’d love to play around with some models locally. I refuse to use anything hosted by other people.

I crawled multiple defunct story sites years back and now I’m finally building an index and UI for them.

Please, Saint Luigi, help us to get rid of all billionaires. They truly are a cancer on society.

90m, that is deep.

What are you saying? The war on billionaires will create more billionaires?

I use YouTube in Firefox for Android because it has ublock. That’s by far the easiest way. All the other apps wouldn’t work for me or don’t show my recommendations.

I listen to everything. My main jam is melancholic singer-songwriter stuff or songs that tell stories, but I also listen to electronic, metal, folk, world music, whatever I enjoy. Last year my most-played stuff was Nothing Else Matters from the Wednesday soundtrack (0.01%), Sabaton (0.1%) and Japanese enka songs. The year before it was German singer-songwriter Anna Depenbusch, who I had just discovered.

That’s kind of the point. A constant barrage of stupid and dangerous shit to keep you enraged until you burn put. You cannot stay enraged for four years and nobody will care to do anything if it’s a constant stream of small and big steps to fascism. They’re not removing all liberties at once, but in a lot of steps so that it becomes impossible to agree on which step becomes the straw to break the camel’s back.

C++ is a joke.
