  • What's with the overkill hardware setups?

    Jump

  • I have an overkill hardware setup because it’s fun. No I don’t really need 4 servers in a Proxmox cluster with 64GB RAM each.. but it’s cool lol. Besides the hardware was just gonna become ewaste anyway, I’m repurposing it

  • I love systemd

    Jump

  • Coming from software development, the systemd controversy is starting to feel more familiar as I learn more of it.

    It really reminds me of what happens sometimes in backend web systems development when an overly complicated framework takes over a programming language community. Getting anything done no longer becomes about using the tools to interact with HTTP, or the language runtime (if relevant), or anything else absolutely essential to the task at hand - it’s about learning the framework itself and its peculiarities, its specific abstractions and semantics wrapping real concepts.

    An example is Spring Framework. One does not simply write a little bit of code to cache something in memory at the place one needs it, no! One must use a ProxyFactoryBean to apply a CachingInterceptor, in the bean configuration XML of course! (Of course being Java, you have the extra layer of indirection and fakery as the Java community is/was full of people obsessed with shoving everything possible into a design pattern for cred.)

    One does not simply read a systemd log file using cat, nor filter with grep. One must use journalctl with its specific arguments to filter by specific things. Because the logs are binary or something. I feel like I’m not learning Linux/UNIX anymore, I’m learning systemd.

    I do like systemd’s unit system, with its whole dependency graph for reaching certain targets, etc. However, given the nigh ubiquity of systemd, I’ve not really had much of a chance to learn any alternatives, so it seems I must simply get used to it regardless.

  • I love systemd

  • As a developer who got into DevOps and now is learning the vast world of sysadmin stuff, it’s validating to see you say that. Because the damn logging system is my number 1 gripe as well and it discourages me from doing any real digging. Why would I when I can just spin up a new VM?

  • What was the hardest video game boss for you?

    Jump

  • Yes indeed. I took out Manus in 3 attempts, but man Artorias.. that took me a while lol

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Woah. That totally makes sense actually. Thanks!

  • Wait, snowflakes are that big? Or is this just a silly meme?

    I have very limited experience with snow being in Australia and all

  • Locked

    What the fuck is going on with 196/onehundredninetysix?

    Jump

  • They should’ve called it 197

  • Oliver's debut on Lemmy

    Jump

  • Blue steel!

  • 802.11ah Wi-Fi with 10 miles of range to gain importance in Europe, with major limitations

    Jump

  • 900MHz WiFi, 20-40Mbps at “10 miles” (what’s that, 16km?). I mean I love the vastly simpler authentication part of the protocol but isn’t it just a mobile cell band at that point?

  • My niece, Pistache, at her first birthday party.

    Jump

  • Happy Birthday, Pistache!

    Love the cake haha

  • Maybe some climate change disaster movies are a good idea to make actually

    Plus, disaster movies are fun

  • Do(es) your cat(s) make a bed between your legs under a blanket?

    Jump

  • Yes, if he’s really cold. Usually he prefers to command me to become a human cat bed such that he can sleep on top of said blanket and legs.

  • Leo

    Jump

  • He’s probably a bit screwed in the head from having the fame from a young age, seems unsurprising tbh

  • Visual Cues

    Jump

  • Sphincter hoodie

  • What's something you enjoyed doing as a kid / What's a happy memory you have?

    Jump

  • It’s like that plot point from Blade Runner 2049… all the best memories are hers

  • Time to wake up

    Jump

  • When I first adopted my cat, he’d meow in my ear to wake me up for food. Then he switched to banging his paws on the bedroom door (like little furry fists). These days he simply cuddles and kisses me until I wake up.

    He independently arrived at the same conclusion that many before him have found: you catch more flies with honey. Best way to be woken up for food ever.
