Merry Christmas, everyone!
I would send you all Hawk Tuah coin, but I just spent my bonus shopping for ungrateful people. Okay, they aren't ungrateful, just unappreciative.
Anyway, gonna try and avoid devrant for probably a week.
And for you other assholes: Happy Festivus!2 -
Goes on teams, since it got shoved down my throat because everyone has to use this malware. Might at least clock around to see what free shit it has to offer.
Oh cool, visio? Thats the architecture diagramming tool isnt it? Thats perfect I could use it for my presentation, let me just drag this UML class...

Sometimes, I wish the times of companies simply barring you from access completely to come back. Freemium is the worst bullshit piece of shit business model ever.3 -
Now's the last minute at current company. Very mixed feelings about leaving. Working with the people there was such an amazing experience and the working conditions there were amazing. But I decided to move on because the pay was absolutely shit and the work itself was like making me feel burnt out. Its not like that I'm overworked. Its like no challange and my own expertise is not valued at all. Everything I work on is constantly held back by every minute thing so that I finish it months later than actually planned. I feel kinda bittersweet. And finishing off with a blast kinda makes it even worse to leave. As for the last day before christmas there is a big happy hour with a lot of free food and alcohol. Talking to all the ppl I've worked with over the years makes me wish it would not be like this. I already miss them. Its like having to say goodbye to a good friend. I guess I'll stop. It will only make it worse.1

If I hear ONE MORE time "ChatGPT is like Google but better/smarter" I WILL choke a motherfucker to DEATH37

I have paid version of GPT now. Kinda accidental, I wanted the API version and that seemed to be smth completely else. Didn't know. I have a lot of opinions / mixed feelings about it so far. Take the imagine generation, this image is kinda perfectly what I wanted. But it took so much iterations and it was forgetting what i've said lines before. Everytime adding text balloons why I said to remove it, then it removes it but generates a complete new image with something else I don't want with it. THan i fix that, and tadaaa, again a text balloon.
This is the question where it is about: is GPT in current state worth the money? I have no idea, I need some more time.27 -
Hi everyone,
I was surprised how much lessons there are to be learned using OpenAI api, especially when configuring your own agents..
So, I made a small doc in the form of a class for people who want to start right away containing all urls and lessons learned. I especially made NOT a library of it - like many losers did - so it can be native in your project and you don't have an extra dependency. It's in exception of OpenAI api dependency free on purpose.
You could have your own GPT in the CLI within literally 15 minutes. Links to dashboards where to register what is all mentioned in the doc. It's written for programmers but just not familiar with python and programmers who want to start directly without issues what seems to be hard in the AI business. A lot low quality stuff out there.

Some people wanted to download their rants / comments. I'm working on it.
Three lines of native python code (no dependencies) to see what @Lensflare said:
from pprint import pp
from xmlrpc.client import ServerProxy
pp(ServerProxy("https://victoria.molodetz.nl/rpc").get_comments({'id':{'gt':42},'_limit':1337,'username':'Lensflare'}))
I think this gives example of possibilities enough. Use your fantasy on how to retrieve rants.
Limitations:
- Not whole dR is available yet, but way more than retrievable using the public dR API. This system uses the user website as source.
- It doesn't show rant_id or comment_id and it won't to prevent abuse. Later today, there will be away to attach rants comments.
- maximum 2500 record limit. But soon you can get comments for every rant per user. You won't reach this limit in normal usage
Have fun with it! Don't worry about the abusing the API. Everything is allowed. It's fast as F. If it doesn't respond - it wasn't you. I work on it and often reboot services and it takes some time to recover to state.
If you're not familiar with python, that's ok. Check if you're a decent dev and have python or python3 on your computer. Just execute it and paste the lines. Other way is to save these three limes to a file ending with .py and execute python3 [your-file].
Another example for people not used to python:
from pprint import pprint as pp # nice printing of values
client = ServerProxy("https://victoria.molodetz.nl/rpc")
comments = client.get_comments({'_limit':1337})
for comment in comments:
if comment.get('username','default username') == 'kiki':
print(comment.get('body'))
pp(comment)
Happy hacking!5 -
I still have like, 4 working days left but my manager is on holiday from today so as far as I'm concerned, so am I.3

Do you watch stuff in fast motion? What kind of monsters are doing that? My best friend was doing it, and now turns out my wife is like that as well.
Why would you watch something in x2. I swear young people don't have any respect for the present moment. Everything have to be rushed, finish early. Would you listen to music in x2 speed so you can finish the song earlier?
I don't get it15 -
Just built in half a day a OpcUA data logger with Grafana, InfluxDB and Telegraf. The same functionality was developped over like 4 years in house. Mostly because no one here is from IT but from OT (operational technology).4

I forgot again that android notifications don't work anymore in this app and so I haven't been here in a while, went through 2 months worth of notifications, will probably forget again this platform exists lol
Also side note, the hell happen to retoor and why is there so many of her?2 -
Have @dfox and @trogus abandoned devrant? The credit card that they've set for billing will expire/foreclose and one day devrant will just go down.
Does anyone have a backup of all rants and comments? Do we have any backup meeting place (bot free)?25 -
Websites nowadays feels and look the same in its structure and how its designed and the elements around it
Its almost like software interface designers follow a pattern
I fee like "hand crafted" software for a niche will be the way to go to differentiate yourself and to give unique experience to end users5 -
today i was asked to encrypt a public key, because "it's sensitive info".
a PUBLIC key.
smh
it's not even hard (literally 1 line of code), but come on...6 -
Fuck, two power outages in three hours.
Good thing bars are open now, so might just go there so I can get something done.7 -
How bad are you at English? A LLM (dolphin-phi) just've said this to me when I asked for a joke:
"I apologize, but the given text seems to lack context and proper grammar structure for generating humorous content."
I must have broken some record.1 -
Had a heart attack when I found out what I was holding and all wasps (or bees?) came out crawling slow and sleepii. Thank God I was wearing gloves. It's ventilation hole of my bathroom. So, that's where the fuckers stay in the winter. There must be a big fat queen in there. Covered the whole nest with shaving foam and hope they'll die. Scary fuckers.random bathroom bees holding a hive fuck !it scary foam covered heart attack wasps gloves winter sleepii18

Got my dad to try Fruity Loops so that he can compose with his Tyros 3 keyboard on the computer. If he likes it, I will buy producer edition (that one can also record, that's why) for his bday soon. For Christmas I already ordered midi to USB cable for him. Finally I know what to give to someone who already has everything. He needs stuff for his stuff :p
It will be much fun experimenting together with it. My dad can go very hard on new things, he always becomes a pro in it.
I hope it will be just as nice as the time we spent together on Autocad. He later even made Autocad exams for schools.
He learned me how to install windows 3.11 as very little kiddo.
I like my dad doing computer stuff. It's the moment we really bond.3 -
Legacy Of Kain Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered has been released.
It contains a lot of bonus material, including a few areas that have been scrapped before release.
Exploration of one of those areas may end up _crashing_ the game...
...Imagine that...41 -
Okay here's my weekend project
I'll create a Windows 11 virtual machine that will boot, then a macro will run that installs Chrome while closing every intervening Edge popup on its way. After the last popup is closed, the VM is reset to the pre-macro state.
I'll let Windows experience the eternity of me denying its unethical attempts to keep me from using Chrome. And I bet you I'll let it phone home every time.9 -
It's always the 'Poll Of The Day' on some other site that reminds me that there's an actual word for the fear of the Friday the 13th...24

Ah, shit. First, I get downvoted a bunch, by a rogue jester bot I assume, then the retoornuke goes off, and with her account, even more of my hard-earned updoots lost into the ether.
How is this important? It isn't. I'm merely annoyed. Needed only a couple more to get myself a pet, I was so fuckin close maan. Now I need about 60 again, so not too bad actually, but if you see me shitposting at an increased pace, then you know why.13 -
So yesterday I had to travel to a different city, which is around 200km to get to (~125 miles), to get my dad to a hospital.
While waiting for him to get processed I did some coding and everything went smooth.
When I came back home, even though my credentials were valid and all, Cognito decided that I'm attempting an "account takeover" and denied my login.
Truly a time to be alive.
Oh, and fuck you Cognito :)4
