I’m at the point where I’m considering moving to vim because I’m sick of the lack of good defaults on Nano and Micro for quick edits, and I’m also tired of IDEs breaking my flow with poor defaults that pop open UI components which must be navigated differently depending on what it is, or just switching back to the mouse every couple seconds.

Just haven’t made the jump yet because I want to sit down and go through all the hot keys in one go, including for global stuff like tmux, the DE, etc.

Someone already said SAAB so Mitsubishi

RIP Lancer Evo

Chinese RAM has CCP spyware, we’re only allowed to buy pure American RAM made in, uh, Taiwan lol

Man past me should have done a better job

//Crappy hack to make this work immediately so management will stop breathing down my neck

Oh wait nevermind lol

I thought they were making complete bank by getting rid of their exclusives and going the open platform route (which everyone complained about)?

They did so well that Xbox became an irrelevant choice between PC and Playstation.

Plus they were doing delayed PC releases, so I don’t really see how that would affect PS sales since the port would come out much later.

No, its just that the current administration has been going around and depoting visa and greencard holders.

Another day of vaguely pointing at Javascript when asked where the circus is.

If it were not, it would just be inviting the government take a massive dump all over it.

Despite the crapshow that is the current US government, you can’t be arrested for standing in front of the Whitehouse shouting your support for whatever idea or group you beleive in (granted you are a Citizen of the USA).

Compare that to something like the UK where people have been charged and thrown in jail for wearing a t shirt or holding a sign, even outside of a protest because the government can just designate whatever it wants to be “hate speech”.

Private spaces like social media are not bound by this which is fine, but social media is so ridiculously controlled and filtered as a result, that you’re better off sticking to a non mainstream platform (like lemmy) where your comments won’t get banned and deleted for stepping out of line.

• Anything that you can shove hardware into (CPU, RAM, HDDs, maybe a PCI slot), so any used workstation is a great start, and don’t bother splurging initially, just follow the quality tool rule and only buy when something becomes inadequate. If you want to jump straight into loud and noisy severs, you can pick up used servers for cheap like R730s which there’s a ton of out there. Just avoid 2.5" drive bays because 3.5" HDDS are way cheaper per Gb.

• Would recommend podman over docker as its matured to the point where it has a lot of better features like rootless, quadlets, etc that you might want to take advantage of in the future. OS is whatever linux you prefer, but I recommend you stay away from Ubuntu. If you want something RedHat but not as cutting edge as Fedora, I’ve heard OpenSUSE is pretty nice.

For apps, If you want to do HTTPS via GUI then npmplus is nice option, Otherwise caddy can do the same with text config. Rest is whatever you want to try out :)

EDIT: If you start making an *arr stack, I would recommend recyclarr to handle the quite expansive content filter settings for sonarr and radarr.

I hate to break the news but the issue with Bitwarden is that the client sucks total ass, and there are no drop in 3rd party replacements for the browser plugin.

Been running Vaultwarden for a while now and even though the sync implementation is nice and clean, it’s just not worth the end user experience.

This is really dumb when compared to literally every other password manager, open source and enterprise which does a much better job of actually being a password manager and not a glorified encrypted text file.

I’m eventually going to switch back to KeePassXC and just suggest setting a master password with Firefox’s builtin password manager for everyone else who just wants a painless user experience and not have to deal with syncing vaults.

Reminds me of some funny old posts on r/sysadmin of greybeards who had essentially automated their entire jobs and life in perl lol.

Best one was a script that would auto text message his wife he would be coming home late if he still had an active terminal session.

There was a recent post around here or reddit that was about management trying to gauge performance via AI use, and how they had caught on to the token spending tricks people were using, but honestly it doesn’t seem that hard to fake around it if it ever came up.

Just throw some agent work at it like codex and watch it burn tokens running grep lol.

Switch was what made me realize golden era of gaming was over, but it took about a year to set in because of the disconnect between the NX presentation and the actual product.

Seriously, go take a look at the original NX Switch presentation and it would almost seem that Nintendo was selling a completely different product.

All of the Wii era inspired hardware went mostly unused because the Switch couldn’t play Wii games, and Nintendo didn’t bother to even port their own titles outside of recycled Wii U content that didn’t sell well on the original console.

The software similarly was a joke. I have more functionality on a Nintendo DS than a Switch, and that isn’t even including “unofficial” homebrew. You can’t even voice chat with your friends without using an external app, which is insane considering the DS, DSi, 3DS, Wii, and Wii U that preceded this.

Major features that gave Nintendo the edge were gone. DS Downlaod Play, Streetpass, included minigames & apps, themes, free online, eshop points, wifi events, etc.

On top of that, the library was just not interesting enough to warrant paying $60 a pop for single player games, and the multiplayer selection was sparse, despite the main feature of the console being joycon controllers.

I got bored of it after only a year, and ended up having to change the joycon c-sticks a couple years later because of the drift issues.

IMO it was a massive success just because of the portable format allowing you to play big name games on the go, but it absolutely fails as a handheld console when compared to the DS line, which did so much more for so much less.

Now that other handhelds like the Steam Deck, AYN stuff, Legion, etc exist, there’s really no need to buy a Switch (2) for third party titles, which makes it a complete Nintendo only buy in.

The kicker is that Nintendo made absolute bank which is now why the Switch 2 is going for $450 (soon to be $500) and bumped their game prices to a whopping $70-80 because they know people were fine with it.

If I had more time on my hands, I would legitimately go make a modern version of Streetpass and download play for modern handhelds because that stuff was so cool and useful.

You can still make a CI/CD pipeline that doesn’t self combust every 5 minutes lol.

I get that we shouldn’t be happy about any type of Monopoly but Steam occupies the PC gaming space similar to how Linux dominates the server space.

You can’t really complain that almost every server running Linux is a bad thing. Granted Steam is not open source, but you have to imagine how little effort it takes to not make a shitty marketplace/platform as a competitor.

The fact that such a low bar cannot be surpassed by multi billion dollar companies is all you really need to know, especially when GOG successfully exists.

Wireguard.

Dunno if Cloudflare does effective auth for the tunnel or if you have to set that up yourself, but I don’t bother trying to expose services to the internet in any way because some of this stuff was just never designed for proper web security (cough Jellyfin).

It’s still worth setting up a wildcard cert with ACME so you get nice https and a real domain.

Best one I heard was a guy explaining all the bargain basement things the government does wrong, how to fight bad policy via local elections, supporting quality changes and movementd, and then ending it on flat earth because the government made up round earth too lol.

I know lol, but it also doesn’t mean anyone who is opposing the meme isn’t one either.

I’ve seen my fair share of educated/intellectual people deny the circumstances of the Bengali genocide for decades until the Pakistani army went lunatic a couple of years ago and confirmed what was previously considered exaggerated fiction.

Tbf though, I’m fairly sure Tankman made it out alive without a scratch, but that overlooks the people who actually died in Tiananmen.

Not that the US is going to fare any better, especially with the empire beginning to crumble.

I like how this comments sections is ml people fighting with ml people, as well as Chinese nationals fighting with Chinese nationals over what really happend.

There’s a user here doing just that but linking the artist and original in the post text content which started a flame war lol.

Its like comparing the Federation and the Empire from elite dangerous lol.

Empire elitists always talking about how bad the Federation is because of the insane capitalist abuse of power, and billions of humans subjected to horrific conditions.

And then Federation liberals talking about how the Empire literally has legalized slavery and a monarchy that runs on the death of humans.

Although technically there’s also the stereotypical Asian CEO who has a 15% discount on all ships and modules in his systems, so I guess that’s probably the successor to Ali Express lol.

That all being said, the post above this is an article trying to explain how China plating 78 billion trees was a bad idea lmao.
