  • 32MB was massive for documents at the time. It could hold your entire academic life back then.

    Nowadays you need like 32 Gigabytes lol

  • There's a pretty easy explanation for it. In fact, it's just one simple word: stupidity

  • First, obviously ensure that you stay safe.

    But if possible, gather as much evidence as you can. Make voice or video recordings, write down things you here, take photos of things that might be important, whatever. As soon as you're in safety, send all the evidence of your father/brother making death threats and planning violent riots to the police/FBI.

  • Print your ticket if you feel safe doing so, otherwise you can get it at check-in at the airport.

    You can also just have it on your phone. You don't even need to use Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, most airlines just give you the PDF file. @sprigatito_bread@lemmy.world

  • Use an app your family doesn’t use or understand, like Snapchat or Discord.

    Nah, use Signal, they definitely won't use it, cause it's "woke leftist crap"

    Signal posted this on Twitter a few years ago:

    And this is what the Trump cultists had to say about it:

    So you can definitely be sure that they don't use it

    It's also much more private and secure than Snapchat or Discord. I would avoid Discord, since it's not encrypted and your chats are saved to your account. If someone gets your password, they can read all your chats. Signal only saves them on your device, so you're safe.

  • Seems like I have 1.6K since I came here in March - that's 7 months. It would equate to 2.7K if I kept it up at this rate for a whole year.

  • Baidu CEO warns AI is just an inevitable bubble — 99% of AI companies are at risk of failing when the bubble bursts

    Jump

  • I think all the crypto scams, all the shitcoins, NFTs and other blockchain bullshit were much worse. At least AI companies usually don't require you to give them large sums of money, they're only after your data and absolutely fuck the environment by wasting absurd amounts of power, but they don't try to take away your life savings

    This is one of the best quotes I've ever heard. Definitely made my day.

  • it originally sounded like I might be able to help with some scripts

    Thanks man, I still appreciate it a lot

    I feel like I just need to clarify some things. In my initial comment, I was bashing Microsoft, not because it's their fault that my company has such a messy environment and workflows, but because the way Windows Server works is just stupid. Since there's no proper shell (PowerShell is absolute garbage), everyone on the Windows team uses fucking RDP to log in to the server... Most of the stuff can't be reasonably done through a CLI, and requires using the stupid GUI wizards. Configurations can't be replicated as easily, since I can't just use scp to copy a config file, I actually need to go through the stupid GUI wizard again. Active Directory is a huge mess that's been held together by hopes and prayers over the past few decades, and I hope it dies sooner rather than later. Also fuck my company's stupid decisions from 20 years ago... Integrating some stupid Windows/Microsoft specific stuff into all of our products was not the best idea, and they realized this a few years ago. Now we have a huge amount of technical debt though, and it will take decades to get everything ported over.

  • Upgrading/reinstalling some company specific software (it's an absolute mess, we essentially build our own tools for everything in C++, there's probably a quadrillion memory vulnerabilities and the software crashes all the time), because random people on the Windows team have been tinkering with the config over the years, and now essentially everything is broken and has to be reinstalled. We have been shipping newer versions of our software to customers than we were running internally... (of course it was tested in the staging environment, but our prod was pretty unmaintained and messy) I'm so glad that I'm usually on the Linux team... I was a software engineer before, but I was tired of C++ and the weird way we do things, so I was probably the first one who asked to move to the newly formed Linux team, when we started slowly migrating away from Windows around 6 or 7 years ago. Unfortunately like half of the Windows team recently quit or was laid off, so they had to find someone who could do this. Since I was a dev before, I'm quite familiar with our internal tools. I'm now working with 3 Windows guys on fixing this insanity. The entire process is not quite as bad as it sounds, but I really don't want to touch a Windows system ever again in my life.
