Fucking fucking fuckety fuck fuckers. Fuck you.

Dual Boot Linux & Windows.

I hardly ever see anyone do it right. And there is just two tricks that make a completely new experience out of it. I am not sharing it with you to be nice, I am sharing because I am curious if you're already doing it.

1. Install on a second hard drive, not a different partition. Learn which button to hold on the boot screen to select the boot drive. You can still chain-load via Grub, but the major advantage, updates of neither OS will fuck up your boot loader. You can update it abso-fucking-lutely risk free. Second advantage, advice 2. becomes trivially easy.

2. Set up a virtual machine. Select as its hard drive the raw disk volume where you have installed your Windows. You can do this with VirtualBox, but QEMU with virtual machine manager make is far easier to set this up in. You can now start Windows under Linux as a virtual machine. You can always start a small application, but the big deal is installing. Start a Steam download, have it installed and ready without switching over. Running windows updates. And when you then have time to play the game, just reboot and you have it already installed.

I feel like many are not aware that you can start a virtual machine of a real hard drive. It's one of those things that improve usability of it enormously. It's something where many will just not think about it because they keep dual booting and virtual machines in two different categories in their brains, but immediately will think it is obvious as soon as they hear about it.

So, who already did this? Raise your hands!

I have received tons of shade from my organization for insisting we document business logic (literally had leads pull me aside and tell me to stop suggesting it) and I think I understand why now...

Best Practices for Implementing CI/CD Pipelines in a Microservices Architecture
Hello everyone,

I'm currently working on implementing CI/CD pipelines for our microservices-based application and I'm looking for some best practices and advice. Our architecture consists of several microservices, each with its own repository and development team. We've been using Jenkins for our build automation, but we're open to exploring other tools if they offer better integration or features.

Here are a few specific areas where I need guidance:

Pipeline Design: How should we structure our CI/CD pipelines to handle multiple microservices efficiently? Should each microservice have its own pipeline, or is there a better approach?

Deployment Strategies: What deployment strategies work best for microservices to ensure zero downtime and easy rollback? We're considering blue-green deployments and canary releases, but would love to hear about your experiences.

Tool Recommendations: Are there any CI/CD tools or platforms that are particularly well-suited for microservices architectures? We're particularly interested in tools that offer good integration with Kubernetes.

Testing and Quality Assurance: How do you handle testing in a microservices environment? What types of tests do you include in your CI/CD pipelines to ensure the quality and stability of each microservice?

Monitoring and Logging: What are the best practices for monitoring and logging in a microservices setup? How do you ensure that you have visibility into the performance and issues of individual microservices?

Any insights, resources, or examples from your own implementations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

Yesterday, as I open the door, I see the biggest fucking spider I've seen in my entire life. And I freak out. FREAK THE FUCK OUT. Wow, it's gigantic... Crazy. Now, I can't leave the house.

Anyway, this goes on for 10-15 minutes and I finally manage to leave.

I go to language exchange and talk to all kinds of people. There was this Indian dude from the US, he was alright. Almost cured my hatred of Indians. It's strange how we hate people we don't know or seen before.

Anyway, I really need to further expand my world view and thinking by meeting more and more people and going to many places. Also, it's crazy how we all live on this small planet, only consume what other humans have written/created/made-up. The universe must be so vast, if we could do interstellar travel, and just travel and do crazy shit.

Life is truly amazing. I say live violently, live like you were in paralysis all your life. Run faster than fucking Forest. Fucking live until you want to die.

One last thing, PEOPLE are far more interesting THAN WE EVER EXPECT OR IMAGINE.

Just ask them few questions:

Have you ever went snowboarding?

Have you ever been on television?

Have you eating something unusual?

You will never believe who was on TV for what reason or who never went snowboarding. Well, I never tried snowboarding. I want do try it. We should it together actually. I have some skateboarding experience from past life. So hopefully I don't hit a tree and break my neck. Anyway that's all for today, peace out devRant faggots! I wish I could lick some of y'all.

recruiter internal to a company reaches out, I think I have a good screening call with them, get a rejection afterwards

welp

Something is… off. You can feeI it, but you can't quite put your finger on it.

Are there any adult sites that frequently update their content with new and interesting videos? I’m looking for a site that keeps things fresh and engaging with regular uploads. Any recommendations?

I write python that's faster than most people's c++. My c++ smokes everyone. Current project runtime has gone from 90 minutes to 90 seconds. Fuck yeah. I'm really not paid enough...

wtf GitHub

https://github.com/orgs/community/...

ran into a person today who said their account got suspended with no info and they were writing a speech for a conference on there and now everything is upsidedown for them so I decided to look into it

bruh what the hell is that customer support

is this what happens when Microsoft buys platforms. uegh

Things that happened yesterday according to Kiki's internal clock:

hey, sr? gavin, sr, could you at least let me put some lipstick BEFORE YOU FUCK IT

Inside Microsoft Palo Alto, the office where only women work: a surgery! The kidney is a frag grenade.
Left to right: white coat, black coat holds kidney (frag), a girl in “sleep” T-shirt, a girl that holds a gun. Meanwhile, my gun’s barrel was made from that fridge flexible magnet material. I fixed it using rainworms as glue.

Now we’re entering my uni teacher’s brain, trying to make her give me a passing grade, all while she sings.
It’s just two of us here. Inside her, we fuse into one. Now we sing too:
🎵 We are Scottish — 🎵
🎵 A batshit crazy thing to be, 🎵
🎵 Trying to be normal 🎵

Xiaomi made a torture device for home that was quite popular in Kazakhstan.

I feel like I need to morph into an octopus to keep efficiently doing my work.
Too few hands, too few brains...

And I just can't fucking focus on 5 things fucking simultaneously...

I was coding.
-> Customer calls
-> New ticket with higher priority
-> I get back to coding
-> Boss calls, do ticket first
(Rinse and repeat)

I don't even know if I'm able to at least get a raise as a trainee, but our company only has two (2) developers right now, including me... And since our senior left, we do a fuckton more work.

I do way more than other trainees in my class and compared to some other colleagues, seriously.

In any case, we got reviews and feedback rounds with our bosses next week, and I wrote a DIN A4 page of reasons why I want to get at least a small raise.

Not gonna read it off, of course, but gonna go along it...
Wish me luck.

100 billion dollars spent on artificial intelligence and large language models because people don’t want to talk with each other.

There's so many Javascript frameworks, that the only way to stand out is to create your own framework.

I don't see an end or point to this perpetual nonsense.
