I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again
  • Also, why does this keep appearing in my feed. Every time I read this aggressive title I’m like jeez…

  • How do you like to tell people about the fediverse?
  • The first rule of the Fediverse.

  • Copilot Recall and it's consequences
  • “Copilot Recall and its consequences” https://theoatmeal.com/comics/misspelling

    Good question though 👍

  • Google scrambles to manually remove weird AI answers in search
  • You’re holding typing it wrong!

  • Has anyone here ever tried Linux From Scratch?
  • NCommander did it for a Christmas charity stream a few years back: https://www.youtube.com/live/tCh0XjyIAKU

  • Microsoft opens a "high priority" bug ticket in ffmpeg, attempting to leech the free labour of the maintainers
  • No, I wasn’t joking. I only see the title and the link to the bug tracker issue. I don’t see a tweet anywhere, maybe that’s on me. (I’m not on Twitter / X). All I see is a link to a bug tracker issue that’s 11 months old. That’s why I think OP could have provided more context. But it’s all good now.

  • Microsoft opens a "high priority" bug ticket in ffmpeg, attempting to leech the free labour of the maintainers
  • Fair enough. But there’s no way to infer that from the title of this post, nor the bug tracker issue linked. I think OP could have done a better job providing context.

  • Assistance migrating from gitea to forgejo
  • I recently did a bare metal migration from Gitea to Forgejo using NixOS, maybe this info is useful if you use SQLite (which I believe is the default): the SQLite database filename for Gitea is gitea.db and for Forgejo it’s forgejo.db so I had to do a rename. Before renaming I ended up with an empty Forgejo instance. Either way I hope you figure it out in the end. Good luck!

  • Twelve years after the death of Steve Jobs, the cracks are starting to appear at Apple
  • Now there is a reference I haven’t seen in a looong time. Thank you!

  • Python deque tutorial
  • I use a deque to fill a queue from the right, items get consumed from the left. Sometimes feedback from an external control mechanism will request an item be added to the queue with high priority. This item is then added to the left of the queue and will get consumed next, before all the others already in the queue. For me this was a good use case for a deque and it works well.

  • Recomendation for a note taking app
  • I use Obsidian, you have mentioned it and it’s not self hosted, but for me that depends on how you look at it. I use it in a folder that’s synced to Nextcloud, so I consider the data self hosted markdown files. The viewer, i.e. the Obsidian app is not self hosted, but I consider that just a client used to view the data so it doesn’t really bother me.

  • I recommend Ruby on Rails. I am biased with 17 years of professional experience, but it has batteries included, end to end everything you need to build, test and deploy a modern web application. In my opinion Ruby is the most pleasant language to read and write. But try to compare many stacks and see what you like best.

  • Counting CPU Instructions in Python
  • Nah, my personal hate of indented blocks has been there since the late 90s /s 8-)

  • XMPP Server?
  • You’re absolutely right about the perception. You make a good point. I’m not sure OP got that you’re not trying to talk them out of self hosting, but rather bring up the importance of reliability regardless of their setup. Thanks!

  • Giving up on selfhosted email / Any sane email setups?
  • In my experience (self hosting mail since 2005) signing up for SNDS does factor in. Although last time I had trouble with delivery to MS, my hosting provider Linode's support also helped out by contacting MS back channels on my behalf. The biggest problem I (rarely) have is when whole IP blocks end up on a ban list that MS seems to really trust. That said, fuck it, I will keep fighting the fight and self host my mail like a stubborn old git :p
