Former Reddfugee, found a new home on feddit.de. Server errors made me switch to discuss.tchncs.de. Now finally @ home on feddit.org.
Likes music, tech, programming, board games and video games. Oh… and coffee, lots of coffee!

Einfache Lösung: Einreichen jeder Meldung kostet erst mal Bearbeitungsgebühr, bei einer erfolgreichen Löschung wird die erstattet. Ungültige Anfragen werden nicht zurückerstattet. Von mir aus auch immer Rückerstattung, wenn eine Anfrage auch nach einzelnen Korrekturen erfolgreich ist um kleine Tippfehler o.ä. nicht zu sehr zu bestrafen.


Ich scroll nur noch die Post-Liste unter ALL bis zum Ende!


non-commitment like “I can’t do that” or “that’s against policy” or “that’s not my dept”
Ok, I’m not a native English speaker but… I have the feeling that they don’t know what non-commitment means. Unless it’s commitment to fuck the customer, but then, why bother to offer a call center?


That’s what I’d expected if Monty Python tried to design this process for a sketch. Which… Is very British. So…


Better yet: the app description says explicitly:
If you’re applying for someone else they must be with you. If they are not, you should apply online at: https://www.gov.uk/electronic-travel-authorisation.
Which… Just brings you to said page that tries to get you to use the app…


Time for a classic: The Case of the 500-Mile Email
Edit: The site seems to be overloaded, but it’s also on Archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/20260220060645/https://www.ibiblio.org/harris/500milemail.html
Other than Friendica, Mastodon, Matrix, PeerTube and PieFed, what’s worth running
Maybe Nextcloud (not only for storage, but also calendar, video conferences, office, when combined with Collabora,…)? Also Immich (basically Google Photos) comes to mind. Your own instance of SearXNG.
Any kind of ToDo-list, Kanban board, …?
A ticketing system?
A Wiki to host your documentation? Note, that you may want to access it if the server fails, so…
Some stack of components around Grafana or such to visualize some data? Since you mentioned Hetzner, I’m guessing you’re from Germany. You could build a small container, ingest the gas prices that the gas station are required to publish and build a dashboard for the gas prices in your area?

Delays - if you use the internet and request an answer from an LLM, you won’t notice if it’s 300-500ms slower than usual. But if you deploy and run a software stack, a delay of 5ms betweenntze app and the database can make the difference between a usable application and an inperfomant one.


Should have called it Nearby Glassholes


See, when mommy fire and daddy fire are left alone long enough and it warm and cozy…


Real models are trained on copyright-, license- and ToS violations! Those cheap bastards found a way to only train with ToS violations (of a single source, mind ya!). That’s not real AI!

I had many problems with the NVidia drivers on Open side tumbleweed. But if it wasn’t for that, I’d probably be rocking it, because everything else was to my liking.
They used the JS to provide a stable clock that speeds up the processing, but they also implemented it in CSS only as a fallback, if you haven’t enabled scripts
That’s basically what I’m thinking about my homelab. Almost nothing has a defined fail over, most things run as a single instance on the very same (used, old) hardware but my uptime is way higher than some business critical apps at work LOL


Denn durch die zunehmende Umverteilung von unten nach oben können sich immer mehr Leute die tolle grüne Modernisierung gar nicht leisten.
Nach dem Motto “das Geld ist nicht weg, es ist jetzt nur woanders” hätte ich da so ein paar Ideen zur Finanzierung…
Русский военный корабль, иди на хуй


Nach allem, was ich bislang mitbekommen habe, ist das Problem der Modernisierung/Wartung von COBOL nicht, dass die Sprache so exotisch ist, sondern dass sie wohl viele Seiteneffekte hat UND oftmals die ursprüngliche Dokumentation was notwendig ist und was der Code alles machen können soll usw. nicht unbedingt gut/auffindbar/brauchbar ist. Und ggf Zertifizierungen, die daran hängen. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, wie hilfreich eine automatische Portierung nach… C#, Rust, Java, Go,… in dem Fall ist.


How do I do that on Mastodon, Lemmy, Piefed,…?
