This LEGO build cost him 200K and two marriages, but it’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. 😳

@ReimuNotMoe Crux Linux is worth a mention if you want Linux with a BSD style.

@ReimuNotMoe You can Devuan or just remove Systemd from Debian. I wan't to like Void Linux & I don't not like it, I'm just not ready to do more than mention it exist. I think there is an increasing groundswell towards FreeBSD though and that's a good thing.

wtf systemd now implements age verification??? I need to find a non-systemd distro which is suitable for server installations.

@nigelhorne With, in Python, is their way of doing blocks in perl. Like: { my $whatever; .... }

@PerlDean No idea. I don't know Python. I took the idea from Pascal.

I rather like the "with" keyword in Pascal. So, I created a similar feature for Perl at metacpan.org/pod/Syntax::Fe…

@inerati You think construction is better? Medicine? Education?

why is all software so horrifically bad

@Itsfoss Low volume high margin

Why do Linux laptops cost so much? With Windows out of the picture, should they not cost less? But you look at preloaded Linux laptops, and they are more expansive than similar spec Windows laptops. The same is the case with Linux mini-PCs. Your thoughts?

I updated Claude's communication style with a long list of quotes from Warcraft 2 and it's brilliant.

@DataChaz Seems like an easy Tampermonkey script

Why pay for LinkedIn Premium when you can just fire up Chrome devtools? 😏

43 commits in a merge request, mostly intermediate slop. No. Learn to amend.

I don't enjoy using macos for work and I don't use it personally, but I do find @macports to be quite nice. (I don't do windows at all)

@0xlelouch_ Great question

If GraphQL lets clients request exactly what they need, why not replace all REST APIs with GraphQL?

@ChShersh They talk scalability while their growth is single digit yoy. What they need is feature velocity

Everyone talks about scalability. Nobody talks about cpluplusability.

@oprydai Having kids

whats stopping you from building a home-lab like this?

@trikcode There's a number of patterns hyper scalers use that startups should consider before k8s. Mono repos Stacked development Continuous deployment Etc

Life as startup founders! "Should we use Kubernetes?" "Do we need Kubernetes?" "I don't know but Netflix uses it." "We have 12 users." "Yeah but what about when we scale?" "Fine. Add it." 3 months later: $47,000 AWS bill. Still 12 users. 6 months later: "Maybe we should simplify the architecture." The CTO who pushed for Kubernetes has already left for another startup.

I'd like to give ghostty a fair shake but I can't find a good way to configure the cursor for my odd mix of white background terminal and black background vim (and tmux) I fully understand white background terminal is about as contrarian as they come but it's how I roll

@AvidCommentator All because we want to save the world from climate change?

Some folks over the next few weeks as it dawns on them that a majority of Australia's fuel comes from oil that is shipped through the Strait of Hormuz and then refined....

@AvidCommentator Is there any data about sales falling through due to finance problems?

Excluding when the market is winding down for the year in December, there is only 1 result this weak in the last 3 years of data for the Sydney market. Results in this league in 2022 were consistent with falling prices.

@javarevisited Generally they seem to mark anything from a non google or Microsoft IP address as spam
