This vibes like that scene in Dumb and Dumber where Harry is standing next to a fire complaining that his fingers are about to fall off, and Lloyd says “you should take these extra gloves. Mine are getting sweaty”.
This game currently consumes 30% of the hard drive on my main PC.
I’m impressed by the technical feat, but am also annoyed that they knew they were wasting this much space and simply did not care. I’m betting every 100GB game is like this.
Enforcing TLS filters out a lot of spam connectikns too. Every legit provider has a cert these days.
Start a new life on a farm.
But seriously, it was mostly because my coworkers don’t realise when the linter underlines broken stuff in red. You upgrade it, and and your project has 180 errors and you have no idea which ones are new.
I love react. It’s so straightforward until it collapses onto a tangled mess of hooks, refs, callbacks and dependencies.
I just finished updating an app to 0.82.1 today and JFC it was a mess.
Firefox mobile too?
I’d blame the gecko, but literally NO other site breaks like this.
There’s so many dark patterns to it. You’ll notice that it’s impossible to bookmark your “friends” feed. At every opportunity you get directed back to your wall, which is 95% shit you’re not subscribed to.
And yes, uploads fail. You can’t upload webp. Uploads randomly orient 90° off.
When responding to posts, the page will jump on every keystroke. It will then close the keyboard unexpectedly and reveal a button that subscribes to 4 random groups in one misclick.
If you move away to another tab or app for 30 seconds, the whole page reloads and you lose your place.
You’d think that with a trillion dollars you could get a shitty PHP feed to work smoothly.
Zuck has us cucked.
I’ve got one, and it works well enough when offline.
If not, I could set up Home Assistant and self-host it.
It’s a shame, as Mozilla gave iRobot one of the better privacy ratings. That’s the only reason I allowed it in my house to begin with.
It was annoying having to change that setting so I could shut down the phone and install GrapheneOS.
Whenever I ssh into it.
What’s crazy is that my small UPS consumes 20W at idle (fully charged; AC connected).
I got my server down to 40W too, and the UPS ate all the savings.
That’s amazing. I’ll have to take your word for it. I only have Firefox on my devices.
These stats are far less useful than last year.
Protip: It’s really in on the tools and trends page.
I use this at work. It’s actually quite good. Its suggestions aren’t the sort of thing you’d ignore.
It does slow the IDE on large projects though.
When you upgrade your desktop PC, plan for it to be the home server after that.
I got a rackmount case to transplant my old desktop montherboard into every 5 years. I also got a 4-port NIC so it can also be a router. My server is a 4th gen Core i5 and it’s still plenty of power for a home server.
If you’re a laptop guy, I’m not sure what you’d do. Maybe ask friends for their old desktops. The Win10 discontinuation next month would be a great opportunity to snap up some business PCs destined for landfill.
For Home Assistant, I think you either need Docker or a dedicated box. I kinda hate how there isn’t a .deb package for it like literally every other service on my server.
Oh, you have 10 random singles in the same directory? That must be an album all from the same artist!
I agree. Intel or AMD doesn’t matter too much on the CPU. There’s a massive difference between AMD and NVidia on the GPU front. I hear the gap is closing, but the Steam hardware survey shows nobody on Linux prefers NVidia.
And for the love of God do not print with anything but a Brother laser. Just don’t.
I did this a few months back.
Some things aren’t as great, but you get full control and your server idles way better on JellyFin.
The educational route I took was Hurricane Electric’s free IPv6 online course. It taught me a bunch of networking principles. When you finish the course (and get “sage” status), you get free lifetime DNS access. This includes dynamic DNS that automatically updates when your IP address changes.
Because of this, I can self-host on a basic residential plan without paying for any additional services.
I rock my Skechers, android phone, basic Casio watch, and drive my 2003 Suzuki.
I spend my money on stuff that works. Not stuff that’s marketed.
I sense marketing bullshit, and it’s such a strong turnoff for me.
Programmers need to respect other people’s hardware. A 4TB HDD currently costs more than it did a decade ago.
My data is stored on a mirrored RAID, and backed up on two alternating offsite drives. For every TB of space I use, I buy 4. I do not consider this negotiable.
I don’t back up game installs, but by point remains valid. 90% of hardware advances gets pissed away by bloated shitcode. I see it every day.
