It fucking grinds my gear to a cylinder that people just cant seem to make calendar invites in Outlook and just email me 5 times with additional info that i then have to copy-paste to the event!

Forticlient remote access is fucking slow. It takes forver to log in and for it to finalize the connection. Also kinda feels like they just gave openvpn a fresh coat of paint in order to siphon more money for licenses out of their customers.

19" penguin

What shall it be today?
- AoK returning
- retoor shilling python
- kiki posting about her diet
- Me shitposting about devrants people once more
- All of the above

Microsoft thats not a terminal, that five dotnet's in a powershell trenchcoat!

We hAvE THaT beHinD a FiuRRWall sO it CAn be InSEcUre!

Motherfucker, I would bitchslap you to the moon for such a retarded opinion! Why would you ever want a single point of failure!

Google Maps: Hey you are at restaurant XYZ! You wanna see the menu?
Me: Yeah, why would I want to see the worse edition of the menu on maps! If only I could just move my eyeballs slightly...

Arrays should be indexable by a float!!!!!

Using RDP to remote into an edge server just to press the restart button feels like just one step over actually walking there and pressing the physical button.
Yes I currently have to do that alot because so many fucking systems are flaky as shit!

Todays fuckery: The IP-Camera's manual shows you how to attach it with a public IP to a DSL Modem.

Raspberry Pi havin their own software as the second/third stage bootloader sure sure is kinda well documented and works kinda well. But oh god is it a faff to get to do something non standard. Just let me modify the u-boot environment and save it to disk/tftp 🥺

Also whoever thought that NFS rootfs should only work with proto=tcp, FUCK YOU for not documenting it! Wasted literally two day on this!

You know shits fucked when the sysadmin whips out the serial adapter!

At my new job I'm allowed to goof around more while at the same time less. Im no longer limited to tech and can just choose the best tool for the job and fuck around trying out new interesting stuff that might work. But at the same time IF I FUCK UP, you will definetly read about it in the news!

How little resources would you like?
4 Cores?
Without any effort!
How about 512MB Ram?
Can do it for less!
10 Second Boot?
Yeah!
Desktop Environment?
Yes! Please!

Fucking hell! Why is it so hard to just create a simple websocket!
C#: Yeah, you should use ASP.Net with SignalR! But heres a totally undocumented mess of a lib to get it to work. J.k. Deadlock!
Rust: async while let OK((some)) = ws.create.unwrap_or_else().suckadick()
Why the fuck is Rust so fucking dense! I want one line that means one thing! If I would compress my code with gzip it would be less information dense than this!
Zig: Yeah, Its in Beta and shits semi stable. Atleast i got it to work? Nope!

I've ben fussing aound with these three Languages for more than a week now and can say: Just use an established way to webdev. Its not worth it to try and make it as simple as possible!

Vegan: I can drink any softdrink there is!

Switzerland: How about no!

Where y'all working at today?

B2Plane I've found the best spot for you to take a dump:

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.

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).

Was fucking around today and found out you can get yourself a 6 axis DIY robot arm for ~500$. Which on itself is kinda neat. But what really blew me away is that their documentation is nowhere near as horseshit as i expected from usual projects you recreate. Hava spin on it for yourself:

Anyone got a spare 2'500$ laying around? I wanna buy a 100kw VFD from aliexpress! 🥺👉👈

I fucking despise default open firewalls! Just let me define what I can do and block everything else. I don't want to play whack-a-mole networking by havin to close so many goddamn holes! If I ever see any router doing that again, I swear Mccarthy will think the communists won from all the red from blood!

Current Company: Our coding standards is according to the dumbest assumed programmer! Therefore everything shall stay the same as there will be chaos if a convetion changes.

Man, I love emoji kitchen!

Yocto is the most overly complicated shit on earth! How the fuck did i ever get my board to boot? You get so easily lost in layers and bb and bbappend and there are like 20 flavours of assignement operators and to configure the kernel you need to run one command for menuconfig and then another right after to pull a diff out of the .config into your project. otherwise noone else will have your changes. TrY the same thing with the bootloader and the whole thing shits its pants. Also there are like four devicetree that are required for boot. And if you specially fuck up here, your hardware will be an expensive paperweight. Also there are like featuresets that enable shizz like wayland or ethernet but good luck finding out what in the actual genderbent jesus the thing you just configured does. And there is like no way to visualize any of it as its just a cockblock of text and files. Also if you use search the results are most likely useless. As the thing you are looking for is a filename and vscode does a text search only. Also you can add layers but whatever the fuck that means as a bsp is like a layer but so can also be a kernel patch or some rando variable change. And good luck fugurig out to which dir $PWD points to. As it could just be on the Elon Musk nazi base on the dark side of the moon. Also every folder starts with meta for some dumb reason. And if it starts compiling you could just aswell build a coffin and go into winter hibernation. It takes fucking forever. I have a 3800x and the build takes 1.5h. Why? Because, BECAUSE, B E C A USE! There is a require package called optee. Which need a python package. That package depends on a crypto lib thats written in rust. And since its all from source, it downloads the FUCKING rust compiler source and compiles the compiler to compile a lib that only takes like 5 seconds to compile. Also good luck figuring that out without constantly staring at the compile log. As there is some compilation time info but you need to write a parser for that first as there is no included anal -lyzing tool for it. I could keep on yappin' waaay longer about why dantes inferno is kindergarten compared to yocto, but i dont have enough alcohol in the house to fuel that.

So apparantly VSCode is the new shit in the automation industry. B&R just presented their fork of it and Siemens showed off Simatic AX. One thing you really need to see is, that Siemens apparantly uses the VSCode Pets plugin in their marketing material.

I never expected embedded Linux to be this performant boot wise. On a Cyclone V HPS (800Mhz, Coretex A7) the entire system boots in 3s. Thats from power on to a shell in userspace. And it uses like 40MB of SD-Card Space. The entire speed gets throuwn out the window as soon as you use systemd. Then it takes like five times as long. I kinda want to explore this further in the future by addin LCD support with a desktop environment and get some numbers for that. Currently very happy with the results.

It wasnt a Phillips Head screw. It was Pozidriv!

Is it open source or is the source open?
