Sometimes we are ping pong balls being smashed from one side to the other. This is me, I'm currently studying a technology. Oops! Change of assignments! Plz study new tech! Ok thanks for the constant context-switching.

So a question.

I remember a news article recently urging all people to use python and rust and the like because of memory safety.....

somewhere way back whenever this bs was.

so a few times now I had chatgpt generate me a status window script because it was a one use thing just so I could see how far along a near 500 gb download was to finished.

and it repeatedly caused my machine to freeze from an unknown source of memory leakage as it gradually built up a ridiculous amount of overhead at a rate much faster than it should jhave from the few references and bits of scalar data that it was accumulating.

I know its means something else...

but its kind of funny just the same :P
my system crashed from what is supposed to be a managed language right ? exceptions and stack traces etc ?

Management: "Let's make the office fuuuun :D"
Me: "Let's make my life less stressfuuuul"

can't Google anything now. like even tech stuff is crap. the AIs are a better Google search now

So im a frontend developer. Yet i get an issue on my plate regarding a 504 error. Maybe i should ask whst css file this is part of. My god im looking into this for over an hour now…

I'm slowly but surely make my KDE Debian's UX better than what I was familiar with on macOS. It's already _way_ faster.
When I'll get UX done, I'll get to UI -- all kinds of beautification

Running your own mail server is a lost art

Is Mobile Application development still trending? Why are you not using cloud based platforms Why do you have to download the APKs and keep bursting your storage ?, by using it, you get an instant preview of your app in the browser.I wanna know the reality! But instead you go for cheaposss like diawi, Like whyyy ? ?????

What is your longest remote desktop chain. Mine is currently at five!

FINALLY IM HOME AND IMMEDIATELY SHITTING AND FARTING SO SO MUCH I FELT LIKE I WAS GONNA PASS OUT FROM HOLDING ALL THE SHIT FOR SO LONGGGG

I made an Ollama hub where you can share your Ollama resources with others to be used.

Long story, see https://ollama.molodetz.nl for information.

Uses of the API can just use their default api clients! For security people can only call chat completions api on the shared resources. Content gets validated before forwarded to your Ollama instance if you're a host.

I hope you guys like this concept. Donate your server!

my phone bill is more expensive some reason. which is strange because that's illegal to do

they're like if you want to see bill details log in. ok I did. I see nothing mentioning it. check my last few bills emails. it's been 5$ more expensive since the new year.

actually I have a 1gb data plan and if I Google up good mobile plans this exact same provider is advertised as giving you 60gb data for 45$. I used to pay 47$ for 1 GB but now I'm paying 52$ for 1 GB it seems

yeah I think I'm going to go with a different company. I literally don't even use my phone unless the power goes out or something. I don't even want to be paying 50$ for something I'm not using. maybe you shouldn't have tried to illegally increase my pricing and then you could've kept me paying. dunno. byyyee

Thought experiment (and I promise there are no plot twists and no metaphors -- it won't turn out that I was talking about tiktok/apple/censorship):

Imagine there is a cosmic horror entity that can annihilate us in an instant. It lives at the bottom of a pit. We as a species are being constantly sucked into that pit -- in this fictional universe, it's the natural order of life. The pit devoured many before us, and we're next. The pit is not conscious -- it's just a force that exists, and like a black hole, it can do nothing but attract things around it just to devour them. It has no choice -- it destroys things passively. It never changes the way it destroys things.

We know we should've been already done for long ago, yet we are still alive. We know that at this scale, it wasn't because of something WE did or didn't do.

It can only mean one thing: a very powerful entity consciously keeps us alive.

Can this entity be called "god"? If yes, why? If no, why?

Choosing either way tells nothing about you and your religious beliefs -- the universe is pure fiction, and known gods/religions don't work there. All I need from you is raw thought process.

Using chatpgt as my "rubber duck" has greatly improved the time it takes me to develop solutions. Ive been working at a small startup as the full stack dev; aka the entire IT team dev so having someone to 'talk' to that talks back really helps.

but damn, the way openAI brushes off where they get their training data and having so many artist friends IRL (painters, digital artists and musicians) really makes me hate what we have AI/ML doing for us.

seeing it used for the arts makes me feel so depressed because im reminded that big corpos really just want to make money for the investors.

KDE Plasma can't into animations. I mean they can be beautiful, but they are immediately preceded, as well as followed, by ~200ms of all sorts of flashing visual fuckery that completely ruins everything.

So I just went and disabled every animation I could. Now it's time to disable animations in my browser as well.

Now KDE feels scary fast. If macOS felt like a fast but comfortable SUV, KDE without animations feels like a 1000hp all-manual EXO-car.

Knowing that a modern SUV can be remotely hacked and steered into ongoing traffic at 100mph, I would argue that an all-manual car is safer, at least for a certain kind of people.

Stack Overflow has the best April fools prank!

They are doing an 8+ hour database migration on a business day during business hours!

The prank is the fact that it’s not a joke! They really decided this for some reason!

Psychopaths, psychopaths everywhere.

if you make a PR, do you sometimes just fix the minor error yourself and push it and then approve it?

for example: like a typo in a variable or a wrong translation

So a few years ago I put tootsie rolls on little plates in the bathrooms at work. It took about a week before people started taking the tootsie rolls. I coined this experiment as the "bathroom candy" experiment.

Since it is April 1st I have revived this experiment, but this time I put Hersheys kisses on little plates. It will be an interesting experiment. But I am hoping for the phrase: "Who keeps leaving chocolates in the bathroom?!" or "Why are there Hersheys kisses in the bathroom?"

I expect people to be very wary of the "bathroom candy" this year. lol
