I develop in containers, which means I don’t have to install dependencies on my host.
While it’s overhead, it’s never that massive.
Sure things like Codium and all the tooling takes up a lot of memory… I don’t think I’ve seen over 10gb of “dev related” memory.
I feel like people are significantly desensitized about how much data 1GB actually is.
I hope everyone uses this new UDP thing!
Yo, check out this cool website I made: http://localhost:3000/
It is. It’s called Compulsory Licensing.
There is also an FDA Shortage list (most countries have a similar list).
A drug on that list gives the government additional powers to allow companies to work around the parents.
I think this is why there has been so many “off-brand” weight loss drugs recently. Novo Nordisk had supply chain issues with semaglutide, triggering governments to allow other manufacturers
It’s even worse when some idiot dev decides what an email should look like and doesn’t properly implement RFC822 (or whichever one specifies all the random bits of a valid email address).
The current recommendation is to check for an symbol. It’s pretty much the only concrete rule.
If an email address has to exist, the only way is to send it an email and have the user click a link.

What if companies lobbied and depositioned that oil consumption wasn’t bad, greenhouse gasses don’t matter, and that climate change wasn’t real? All while having evidence to the contrary.
Like, a company does a thing. Turns out it was a bad thing, but - as an industry - lied under oath and paid money to have it all swept under the rug.
That’s pretty damn bad.
AI companies seem to be marketing their thing as a bad thing, idiots drink the coolaid and make it a bad thing.
I think we are early enough in the adoption cycle before it becomes incumbent.
Whereas oil adoption was a miracle liquid/gas that absolutely moved humanity forward at the expense of the planet.
AI replaces humanity at the expense of the planet.
Was it mini or micro usb, tho?
Let me guess…
Users never read prompts, so we have removed them
Kinda like
Users never update, so we have forced that
If I hadn’t lived in America for 4 years (and my sister having to do a presentation on it), this last year would be the only time it has crossed my radar.
El Nino has (imo) always been an Americas thing. I don’t think it has ever been significant enough to touch the news cycle in the UK.
And even now, I don’t know if my awareness has picked it up due to the UK news cycle or due to the US-centralism of so many social media sites.
Like, I get that tariffs are the lever to reduce dependence on foreign wildfire smoke, but the US needs to bolster domestic supply before they try to reduce foreign imports.
And extracting a fuck tonne of sensitive data
I get frustrated with the track pads. Sometimes they click, sometimes they drag, sometimes they right click. I know its number of fingers and pressure/speed of clicking? I’m sure it’s great if you learn it, but nobody else has adopted it.
Oh, and 2 programs side by side and you have to jump between menus of both of them for whatever reason. The whole “1 menu per desktop” is frustrating
I’ve given this a read.
https://homelabstarter.com/homelab-networking-basics/
Covers the basics, explains them well & technically, and points to “further learning”.
What a soleless joke
I’d start with learning some networking basics.
Subnets, default gateways, DNS, routes, VLANs.
Then get another computer to install proxmox on.
Learn VMs, SSH, firewalls, basically Linux. Probably VPNs as well.
Then set up a VM and play with docker & docker-compose.
And that’s most of the tooling to be able to self host anything. A VM with docker, set up the docker compose of what you want, boom: done.
Some projects are more of a “full of” kinda thing (like home assistant), which would be its own VM
Yeh, exactly.
And the “dynamic DNS” part handles your public IP address changing with 0 pain.
You either buy a domain (like example.com), or there are free domain name providers that give you a subdomain (like mycooldomain.example.com) of one of their domains.
You then run an additional service on your home server that checks what the current public IP address is. If it changes, it notifies the DNS responsible for your domain/subdomain, which then points to your new public IP.
To connect to your VPN, you only ever care about “mycooldomain.example.com” and never the underlying IP address.
…
As long as your ISP isn’t running CG-NAT of course 😵💫
Is it decoupling content from presentation? I bet it’s decoupling from presentation.
Which is why LaTeX is so popular for scientific papers.
Although I struggled to read the article.
How about this afternoon?
“who you are near” does.
Someone that has recently purchased something might talk about it.
Someone that has commented on a news article might talk about it.
Someone has a panic attack and googles what to do about it.
Preface:
Sorry for the wall of text.
It’s all just drunken rants, and I doubt any of it is meaningful.
Yes. Unfortunately such measures are blocked by both science and functional governments.
There is no way to place such stringent limits on anything. “Owning more than 2 dildos” is a silly law, because anything is a dildo if you are brave enough.
“Owning more that 5m is assets means you get killed” is a silly law, because a massive financial upheaval (suddenly having your dildo collection massively appreciate is value) would mean so many people killed or having to be revived (ie, when your £10m collection of dildos suddenly is valued at £2m… Very distressing).
I think it’s more of a “you have won capitalism” tax.
10m per person + 2m per child. Or something like that.
That’s the cap. Beyond that is taxed at 99%.
Earn 100million? You keep 1 million.
Higher taxes on extra homes and actual luxury goods and services (private jets etc). Have an EAT: Essentials Added Tax of 0% (or remove taxes on things like tampons, deodorant, toothpaste & brushes, body soap & shampoos, toilet paper, condoms… Things that promote hygiene). Have a SAT (survival added tax) of like 5% on fresh veg, bread, meat, eggs and milk (things required to live). And have VAT (value added tax) of like 10% on things that ADD VALUE to the essential survival things (bread, ready meals, cookies etc). Then have an LAT (luxury added tax) of 20% on fancy things. And have an FAT (fatality added tax) of 50% on things like cigarettes, alcohol, fast food, sugar, processed foods… All the modern bullshit. Then an EAT (existential-threat added tax) for things like petrol, diesel, natural gas, methane, ethane etc.
Well, it takes actual studies and scientific proof to enact meaningful change.
While the billionaires can just pay for that change via lobbying.
Politicians are not specialists on anything. So they rely on specialist. And billionaires can serve up “specialists” in the right place at the right time to get their own opinion valued more than common sense and general opinion.
Billionaires can own entire “impartial councils”, they can (do?) own the news cycle, they can saturate media with their opinion to the point that “scientists confirm Y, but public opinion goes against Y”.
See the whole climate change denial and greenwashing, I think there is the same going on with “open source” Vs actual open source, the whole “AI is the future, AGI is here, don’t lose the AI war” bullshit. Next up will be water, we are getting to the point where it’s all about water (but probably not for citizens).
And yet, the requirements to refute all the bullshit require SO much more work and investment than is required to generate the bullshit.
I don’t know what the solution is. When companies are “worth” more than countries, there is no way a country can compete. Even sectors of a country (IE “local councils”).
They just get bought out. And all these bought-and-paid-for (previously) trusted sources become untrustworthy, but the evidence lags the actions making them untrustworthy… Of course society slowly gets dragged down to the worst of it.
Maybe that’s the takeaway:
Nobody can predict everything. So the established and trustworthy things get corrupted faster than the corruption can be revealed in an indisputable way.
There is no way to prevent the corruption, it can’t be predicted.
