  • What's up with expired domains being unavailable?

    Jump

  • Usually the previous registrar will hold on to the domain for 6-18 months in case the customer wants the domain back. After that it's automatically sold in bulk auctions. The companies, sometimes called domain squatters, buying those domains in bulk hold on to them often for years asking a premium price. The idea is once someone thought that domain name was valuable, it might be valuable again. They buy 1000 domains and maybe sell a dozen or so, but as operating costs are extremely low it's still somehow worth it. It's all highly automated at this point, so just a fact of life. I've seen domains being held for over 10 years.

  • You spend all your time learning to become a doctor, working in sickbay, but do they call you Beverly the doctor? No. So you literally save the lives of your colleagues and lots of other people, do they then call you Beverly the life saver? No. But you fuck ONE ghost and all of a sudden you're Beverly the ghost fucker.

  • The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about

  • Unfortunately it isn't just the high end stuff which is feeling the crunch. These AI companies have bought up all the production capacity, which means there is less low-end stuff being produced. We're still coasting on existing stock at the moment, but as that runs out prices will rise across the board.

  • I think the use of the word bow for curve or bend was used before all of the uses you mention. It comes from the word used to describe something turning back or a person taking a bow or bowing down. Bow specifically meaning bend comes from the word bugan. Where the bow used in archery comes from the word boga.

    All of these do have the same origin meaning bend or curve. Specifically a bend in a river or the action of bowing. I can't find definitively if these were once separate things or always the same word.

    Note the use of "arch" in archery also meaning a curve.

  • I totally get it. I've been critical about using AI for code purposes at work and have pleaded to stop using it (management is forcing it, less experienced folk want it). So I've been given a challenge by one of the proponents to use a very specific tool. This one should be one of the best AI slop generators out there.

    So I spent a lot of time thoroughly writing specs for a task in a way the tool should be able to do it. It failed miserably, didn't even produce any usable result. So I asked the dude that challenged me to help me refine the specs, tweak the tool, make everything perfect. The thing still failed hard. It was said it was because I was forcing the tool into decisions it couldn't handle and to give it more freedom. So we did that, it made up the rules themselves and subsequently didn't follow those rules. Another failure. So we split up the task into smaller pieces, it still couldn't handle it. So we split it up even further, to a ridiculous level, at which point it would definitely be faster just to create the code manually. It's also no longer realistic, as we pretty much have the end result all worked out and are just coaching the tool to get there. And even then it's making mistakes, having to be corrected all the time, not following specs, not following code guidelines or best practices. Another really annoying thing is it keeps on changing code it shouldn't touch, since we've made the steps so small, it keeps messing up work it did previously. And the comments it creates are crazy, either just about every line has a comment attached and functions get a whole story, or it has zero comments. As soon as you say to limit the comments to where they are useful, it just deletes all the comments, even the ones it put in before or we put in manually.

    I'm ready to give up on the thing and have the use of AI tools for coding limited if not outright stopped entirely. But I'll know how that discussion will go: Oh you used tool A? No, you should be using tool B, it's much better. Maybe the tools aren't there now, but they are getting better all the time, so we'll benefit any day now.

    When I hear even experienced devs be enthusiastic about AI tools, I really feel like I'm going crazy. They suck a lot and aren't useful at all (on top of the thousand other issues with AI), why are people liking it? And why have we hedged the entire economy on it?

  • Based on this graph, and this graph alone, guess at what time I completely blocked OpenAI crawlers

    Jump

  • Yeah I had the same thing. All of a sudden the load on my server was super high and I thought there was a huge issue. So I looked at the logs and saw an AI crawler absolutely slamming my server. I blocked it, so it only got 403 responses but it kept on slamming. So I blocked the IPs it was coming from in iptables, that helped a lot. My little server got about 10000 times the normal traffic.

    I sorta get they want to index stuff, but why absolutely slam my server to death? Fucking assholes.

  • No that's a regular clip for mounting the cooler onto the cpu, it clips around those black things around the socket. That's been the standard for decades and only recently has it gotten less common. I think the cooler is screwed onto the case with woodscrews directly into the plastic of the fan.

  • You'd be mistaken, Intel hasn't had a clip mounting system since socket 370 P3 days. Even P4 on 423 had 4 corner mounting systems and all of the Intel systems had them since.

    The cheapo aluminum coolers from Intel always had that rotated design to get a little bit more surface area in the same volume. With the age of this system Intel had copper pucks in the middle of their heatsinks. It wasn't till later they went full aluminum. This is very clearly an AM4 motherboard as seen by the mounting.

    Like the other commenter pointed out, it's an A320M-C board, it says right on it.

  • Funny how they say how long it would take to download the ISO. Back then sneakernet was our preferred means of sailing the highs seas. In the before before times this meant going to a mate (or a mate of a mate of a dude who used to live next door to my cousin) with a stack of floppies and copying over everything you needed. Later when floppies got cheap, so you would ask for stuff and through multiple friends of friends you'd get a floppy handed over. Put it in your pocket and then run home to try out the new goods.

    Later CD burning at home became a thing and CDs were already cheap. You'd show up at some dudes place, he'd have a bunch of CD spindles setup and machines for copying stuff. You'd give some of the software you had for him to copy and receive a bunch of CDs back. They usually had three kinds of CDs, the super premium ones he'd use for a master copy. The nice ones reserved for good folk and the spindles of the crappy ones which were good enough for most things. It was always a trade off between cost and quality, where crappy quality could mean failed burns which wasted time. Some people had special rigs setup for multiple copying at the same time, but the evil buffer underrun error was always lurking in the background.
