I know there are some fans here from Joshua Fluke. We in the Netherlands have some word for such amazing person but don't know how to translate. It's "neukfout".

I've been using name dot com for over a decade, but I'm sick of their increasing price hikes. I looked at Porkbun not too long ago, but don't like how their DNS services are run by Cloudflare (the shit company that has censored multiple websites, actionablely defaming them, over the past decade, while still allowing animal crushing sites to use their service).

But maybe I should just bite the bullet and switch over. It adds up to a considerable amount of money, even if I let some of my unused domains expire into the ether.

It will be the 2nd time in my life I've moved domain registrars.

omg tabloid are so dumb.

BREAKING: American woman uses chatGPT to pick lottery number and wins!!!!!!

They all have the same probability you fucktard that's the POINT

journalists should be IQ tested seriously

musician friend (or it isn't really just friend anymore) puts out a new album. tells me one of the songs are for me.

at the end there's an "I love you", and today I heard another one earlier on in the song, barely a whisper.

cute AF.

Replit went from a GREAT collaborative coding (/ developing; it had VCS, integration with deployment services...) to a burden of an AI-centric platform???

Horrible! What do you mean I can't set up an environment by myself? And I had to fiddle to find how to see the files, once it stopped "thinking", "trying", "failing" and "reading documentation" to create a simple Python playground I could've got with a couple clicks some years ago. 💀

I don't even want to see what happened to my old projects...

This was the first time the invasiveness of an AI implementation actually got in my way and made me lose more than the seconds it takes to press one or two close buttons.

Having cooled off a little, maybe it still is the great service I remember, but man... heaving to "ask" for a guessing tool to do what I already know how to do exactly... not a good thing.

Client: “We need an app that tracks live birds using AI.”

Me: “Cool, that’s complex. What’s the timeline?”

Client: “We need it before our annual picnic next week.”

Me: “You want an AI that can detect flying birds, in real time, in seven days?”

Client: “It’s not that hard. Just use ChatGPT or something.”

So now I’m here, watching pigeons on my balcony, manually updating a Google Sheet, calling it “AI prototype v1.0.”

I think I’ve finally achieved “Agile Enlightenment” — deliver results, not features.

Client’s happy.
My soul isn’t.

Time to rename the project: BirdBrain.

eye of sauron micromanagement coming down as i have hardly a clue what im doing and my plans are only stable until i am metaphorically punched in the face as per mike tyson's quote

if it works to improve me, then good enough

Ooooeeh, ostream, check snek, you're discussed there :p

For the people who run a small server at home, what are you using it for?

Love seeing the expected delivery time of a delivery slowly slide from the morning into the afternoon (including the latests at!) -_-

And these guys don't always ring the bell, so I need to listen to a running truck thingy and the beep as they scan the package.

And it's dev related stuff ;p

Let me get it straight.

There's devRant, then came Element (Matrix), then came snek and now there's mydevplace.

Pretty soon we'll have more platforms than users using them. Everyone will sit alone in their chatrooms talking to themselves.

It's sad.

We are already in the Windows 11 era but they still didn't fix that thing about choosing "update and shut down" and it restarts instead.

I’m making an iOS app "WTF Meter", which tracks the amount of phrases like "what the fuck", which you say to your rubber ducky while you review code or any other pieces of work.

It’s supposed to be a gag app for entertainment but it also accurately measures the "WTFs per minute" value, which we all know to be the only true indicator for code quality ;)

Phrases can be customized and there is a history of sessions for later review.

If you are interested, I’d be glad if you could test the current TestFlight version and give me any kind of feedback.

I’m particularly interested in what you think about the design and how intuitive the app is.

Mighty Hacker Recovery — The Day I Got My £72,900 Back

When I first saw the balance in my blockchain wallet drop to zero, my heart sank. £72,900 — years of savings and small investments — gone in an instant. I stared at the screen for hours, hoping it was a glitch. It wasn’t. My funds had been transferred out through a sophisticated phishing scam.

I felt completely helpless. The police couldn’t do much, and my exchange’s support team told me that blockchain transactions were irreversible. I started reading online about recovery services and stumbled across Mighty Hacker Recovery, a group of cybersecurity experts who specialized in crypto tracing and recovery.

At first, I was skeptical. There are so many scams that promise miracles. But the professionalism of their communication and the transparency of their process gave me a bit of hope. I decided to take the risk and work with them.

Within a few days, they traced the wallet addresses involved and identified the network of accounts linked to the theft. They guided me step-by-step, involving blockchain forensics tools and legal reporting protocols. Two weeks later, I received confirmation that my stolen assets had been successfully frozen and transferred back to my wallet.

Seeing that balance restored — £72,900 back in my control — felt surreal. Mighty Hacker Recovery didn’t just recover my money; they restored my trust in the system.

If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, don’t lose hope. There are genuine experts out there who can help — you just need to find the right ones, like Mighty Hacker Recovery.

I was gay for a while, honestly, I don’t think it’s for me. Being straight feels so much better

Hear me out: A classic wizzard fight but the spells are terminal commands.

I find it weird getting countless rejections saying they prefer other candidates who are 'better'. What the fuck, is the market flooded with top tier talent or something? I already have an impressive resume and apparently it's not enough.

That's the market these days. Not even an interview. Straight out rejected.

For a long time, I vouch for non-2FA because I expect it to be against me earlier than being a benefit. Now, I have the mail server down. I need to login to repair it. I login and out of nowhere: 2FA. It sent the code to my e-mail. Ok, I'm fucked. So I call their phone number and that said "Sorry, we can't respond in person because of the high load (smth like that)". Well, this is an issue that an automated bot won't fix for sure.

This server isn't fixed anytime soon. But the 2FA, I knew it! Please make it optional and don't force it on users. Through e-mail is a bad idea by design, do a SMS or something, something that is not depended on the hosting services.

Saying this = posting on r/roastme

My hoster doesn't accept my passport for expiry date. Who do they think they are? The freaking government? All data matches with what they have in their system so give me the access that is declined because YOU changed authentication requirements.

Do I have to get myself a new passport to get my server up and running again fuckers? You really want to have my server down paid for, for weeks, because something YOU did?
