  • What 'bad' movie could you fix with a simple casting change?

    Jump

  • You could replace the with anything weird and the movie would be better because it would fall into the "so bad it's funny" territory, right now it's just "so bad" without the funny part.

  • GUI library for C?

    Jump

  • Gtk?

  • Where will Europeans flee too?

    Jump

  • Sure, pal. That's why there were so many of them in Europe. And I don't mean it in a bad way, it's pretty fucking normal to flee to a different country when there's war.

    You people who need to debunk the right wing conspiracies so much that you create your own are a pretty wild breed.

  • Will pictures have the same meaning they used to?

    Jump

  • I do! Cast my photos to the TV, turn on a slideshow and just look at them and remember.

    Any networking horror stories from apartments that provided internet?

    Jump

  • Sure! The idiot who owns the building basically hired the cheapest people he could find and it shows. In pretty much everything.

    But as for the networking: every flat is on the same LAN. Which makes managing it impossible because the ISP's Mikrotik is basically what your router usually does.

    The flats are separated by some VLAN magic, but the technician was bitching around for two hours when he was setting it up.

    For me that means that whenever I want to open a port, I have to call my ISP. And that setting up a lan-backed mesh network at home I had to be very creative.

  • Maybe we don't need a server

    Jump

  • I mean, Syncthing is much more than that. The great thing about it is that it works no matter where you are - home wifi, over the internet etc.

    But that means that someone else's server is used whenever you leave your home network.

  • Golang optimizations for high‑volume services

    Jump

  • Isn't it better to simply use a non-GC language for this?

    If it's just a mental exercise, it's a really interesting article, but if you need something like this in production, just use C++ or Rust or whatever the kids are using these days.

  • Applets Are Officially Gone, but Java in the Browser Is Better

    Jump

  • Java applets and flash, those were the times...

    Still remember how cool it felt when I made a card flipping animation in flash. Nowadays you'd just do it in CSS and be done with it.

  • Veronica Explains why she doesn't stream (from Netflix etc) #algorithmic_helplessness_sucks

    Jump

  • Oh yeah, I feel sorry for all the Immich users who know it just won't happen to them. Losing your movie collection sucks but you can download again, but personal photos deserve much better treatment. Though it sucks paying extra for cloud backup of your photos.

  • What's your plan for not dying?

    Jump

  • I mean, it's more of trillions of trillions of trillions... (repeat many times more) and that's only until the heat death, the universe will continue to exist, though it would be a pretty boring place to visit after the black holes die.

  • What's your plan for not dying?

    Jump

  • Depends on what kind of forever. If it's truly forever and there's nothing you can do about it, that sounds like hell (imagine being the only thing floating in the universe after the heat death!) but if you can decide after 200, 500, 1000 years you've had enough, it really sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

  • What's your plan for not dying?

    Jump

  • Obviously. Immortality is hard without a solid plan.

  • What's your plan for not dying?

    Jump

  • The fun part of quasi-immortality is that you can make your life pretty amazing!

    Money isn't really that much of a problem if you don't have the certainty of being old and unable to provide for yourself.

  • What's your plan for not dying?

    Jump

  • If we're speaking how I'd like to do that if possible, just put my brain into a robot body. Or just upload my whole mind into a robot.

    If we're talking realistically:

  • Programmers are no longer needed!

    Jump

  • Codex is not bad. I use it for personal projects and Claude at work, so I can directly compare and Codex seems better to me.

  • Programmers are no longer needed!

    Jump

  • Today I removed some functions and moved some code to separate services and being the lazy guy I am, I told it to update the tests so they no longer fail. The idiot pretty much undid my changes and updated the code to something very much resembling the original version which I was refactoring. And the fucker did it twice, even with explicit instructions to not do it.

  • Loved learning programming as a teen, never wanted to do it as a job, then when I got older I realized that's the only marketable skill I have, so I became a developer.

  • I philosoph around a lot. It's not good for my mind.

  • I mean, forever might be too strong of a word.
