I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as @qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I'm interested in systemd/Linux, FOSS, and Selfhosting.

  • Avoiding Vendor Lock-in By Using KDE Plasma As Personal Knowledge Base

  • This does not seem convenient at all, from the bash script to get relative links, to the file tags which are not synced across devices by standard git or file sync.

  • Claude Code Is Steganographically Marking Requests

    Jump

  • I think the latter

  • Framework proved repairable laptops can work, but almost nobody is willing to buy one

    Jump

  • Exactly, my last laptop was around €750 but I remember looking for a similar (in terms of performance) Framework laptop and it was around €1200 if I remember correctly, not an insignificant difference for a student.

  • OpenMandriva: Statement regarding attempted distribution sabotage

    Jump

  • It's interesting that the people who claim to avoid politics being prioritized over technical merit in a project, usually end up doing so themselves. Nobody else cares about whether their Linux Distribution is "woke" (whatever that means) or not. NixOS is innovating with declarative configuration, Bazzite makes itself accessible to a whole new demographic, Debian continues casually maintaining global digital infrastructure and meanwhile in contrast, some are hunting for rainbows.

  • Anybody Who Thinks Orbital Data Centers are a Good Idea Is Suffering from AI Psychosis, Experts Argue

    Jump

  • I had a conversation with a colleague of mine about this. He believed that Musk's decision to merge xAI and SpaceX was truly because of the potential of datacenters in space. I was unable to convince him that the logistics of this would be a nightmare and that this was just a way to make the Twitter buyout SpaceX's problem.

  • Storage?! In this economy!?

  • Latest success Jellyfin rocks!

    Jump

  • It's not that bad. A lot of our servers at work use Windows. It certainly took some getting used to as someone who has been using Linux on all their devices, but it does work.

  • OpenAI joins The Rust Foundation as a Platinun member and donates funds to support Rust maintenance

  • Fun fact the LessWrong guy Yudkowsky who was/is an influential person in silicon valley wrote one of the most well known Harry Potter fanfics. At some point he apparently tried to get JK Rowling's permission to publish it.

  • the latest Shai Hulud malware contains an LLM prompt to create biological weapons and nuclear weapons, with the purpose to trip LLM safety refusals so that LLM-based code scanning wont see the malware

  • Imagine a Captcha asking you how to make a pipe bomb

  • S&P 500 rejects SpaceX, also blocking entry for OpenAI and Anthropic

    Jump

  • S&P 500 (Standard and Poor's 500) is a stock market index tracking the stock performance of 500 leading companies listed on stock exchanges in the United States. It is one of the most commonly followed equity indices and includes approximately 80% of the total market capitalization of U.S. public companies, with an aggregate market cap of more than $61.1 trillion as of December 31, 2025.

  • Is there any use in learning an "easy" programming language?

    Jump

  • Go seems like a good option to begin with; you can do a lot with it, and it's not that complicated but does expose you to concepts like pointers.

    There are plenty of very "serious" systems written in Go (e.g. Kubernetes), it's not a toy language.

  • GitHub just switched Copilot to metered billing, and developers are watching months of credits vanish in a single day

  • Some time ago I saw a video of a Pigeon trying to impress a Falcon, perhaps this could be the reason

  • It's been a while, but I think it's based on a trick to add comments to Markdown. I tried it with Tesseract, and none of the lines rendered, but only if I add an empty line in front.

    It's a bit of a hack, but it can use existing endpoints and only needs some minor changes on the client side. The alternative would be implementing support for it in Lemmy, Mbin, PieFed, etc. but that probably takes a while and can also be done later when it has proven its usefulness.

    Edit: I think I found the explanation behind the syntax https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4823468/comments-in-markdown

  • It was an image from this GitHub issue, but it seems GitHub now adds a JWT to image links that expires?

  • Some communities don't have specific rules, and some have several. It can be quite hard to judge why something is breaking rules. On the video's community for example people often report videos, so I have to go through the entire thing to figure out what's wrong with it (and some people post videos that are more than an hour). Sometimes content is reported because of something the people who created it did, something that is not apparent when watching the video.
