herrvogel,

Last christmas I gave [ya ma heart] but the very next day, you gave it [away]. This year, ??? from tears, I’ll give it to [someone] special.

herrvogel,

I think the teams that are responsible for bringing proper HDR support are moving slow and waiting for HDR to get its shit together, as right now it’s a poorly standardized dumpster fire of various protocols and definitions and implementations. It’s still a bit of a pain in windows and macos despite the fact that official support exists already.

herrvogel,

Fresh groceries is an absolute no. I always go to the market and pick out my own fruit and veggies and fish.

I do order clothes and shoes online, but never before trying them out myself and only if they don’t have the color I want in stock or if it’s appreciably cheaper online.

herrvogel,

I once went on a 2-week vacation and forgot to take out the very full and very moist trash out of my nice and warm kitchen.

It was… thriving, when I returned. Hard to describe how disgusting it was. I actually threw up while cleaning it out.

herrvogel,

Sure, if the rest of the team is first semester CS students doing their first group project. This is not an obscure 1337 h4x0r trick only known to programming gods writing COBOL code inside banking mainframes, it’s a simple operator.

herrvogel,

It definitely is a better deal though, if you can scrape up the sum.

You rent for 20 years, all the money you’ve spent over those 240 months is gone forever. That wealth has been transferred from you to another entity. It’s not yours anymore in any way shape or form.

You buy a house, your wealth just changes shape. Money in your bank account becomes real estate with your name on the papers. You still have your wealth, for the most part. Sure you’ll lose some on the maintenance and the mortgage and whatnot, but long term it’s not even in the same ballpark of 240 months of rent.

Not a difficult decision to make, if, again, you are in a position to make it in the first place.

herrvogel,

The OS has no concept of an “fn” key. The keyboard never sends an fn keycode to the host machine. It’s a feature that’s entirely handled by the keyboard firmware itself. Your computer either receives an F2 key or a “brightness down” key, but it has no idea an fn key was involved in that one way or another.

So you could maybe modify your keymap to swap things out yourself. Intercept the “brightness down” keycode and manually map it to F2 or whatever. That’s the only in-software solution I can think of. That’s basically what the BIOS toggles do, as far as I know. Less than ideal to do yourself, though.

herrvogel,

Built-in Bluetooth modules tend to “just work” for the most part, but external adapters are a whole other story. They are a pain and it’s best to buy them from somewhere that won’t ask questions if you try to return it.

herrvogel,

Oeuf -> öf

Oeufs -> ö

Papa always says “don’t trust anyone who speaks a language where adding a plural suffix makes the word shorter” and I live by that rule

herrvogel,

I mean the answer is really not that complicated. If the checks are being paid by the government then it’s a public work place. It’s a pretty clearly defined thing.

herrvogel,

Religious head scarves are worn in a distinct style that immediately give them away. You’re not disguising one of those as a simple accessory.

herrvogel,

Probably from Turkish, where “kek” means “cake” but also is slang for “gullible”. When you get kek’d, for example, it means you just got got.

herrvogel,

Man wait till you hear WhatsApp lets you send messages to yourself

herrvogel,

It does. But it comes with just one door because one door on an apple car = 5 doors on other cars. To get more doors you need to pay $13999 extra per door.

Also when you step on the gas pedal it opens the glove box because that’s clearly the best way to utilize that input, literally every other car on the planet and what they do with that pedal is simply wrong. You have to perform a two hand operation to actually accelerate the car, because that’s the apple way of controlling your car and it’s better.

herrvogel,

At the very beginning of the game you get presented with 2 bills to choose from. “Fuck Cancer” is the official name of the bill that cures cancer. The other one ends world hunger and is called “Let Them Eat Cake”.

herrvogel,

Don’t non-baby humans lack brown fat in general?

herrvogel,

The "return type <5 paragraphs of various word salads> is not compatible with " error messages are anything but easy to understand in my opinion.

herrvogel,

No. Asahi unfortunately has a long way to go. Last I checked it didn’t even have proper audio.

herrvogel,

My company recently made a website for some finance company. They told our designer what they wanted, the designer did her thing, we presented the design, they gave their feedback, we made changes, and at some point we arrived at a design that the client approved.

First thing the client did after the site went live was to completely replace all the text. All of it. The design was specifically made to accommodate the text that they had written themselves. The new text was SIGNIFICANTLY more than what the site was designed around, and of course it broke the whole thing.

“Why does this section look so bad”, asks the client. Could that be because you pasted four whole paragraphs into a box that was supposed to display one short sentence, you absolute moron? The site’s been up for about a week and they’re already demanding a rather extensive redesign of the whole thing. Why the fuck did you approve it then?

herrvogel,

IIRC the game already has a native Linux build.

herrvogel,

Code reviews mean fuck all when the “senior” developer doing the review is someone who implements an entire API endpoint group in one single thousand-something lines magic function that is impossible to decipher for mere humans.

herrvogel,

Modern compilers and interpreters are smart enough to figure out what you’re trying to do and automatically do that for you.

herrvogel,

Mac updates are less frequent but take longer. They also restart the machine. One difference though is that my mac never took it upon itself to start an update without asking my opinion.

herrvogel,

Man if you actually use proper http status codes instead of returning 200 to every single request no matter the outcome, you’re already better than a lot of “senior” developers. If you’ve written any amount of half-useful readmes or docs or even comments, you’re well above the average. If you’re aware that git has more than 3 commands, you’re well on your way to godhood.

[Question] Which shell prompt do you use and why?

Hi. I’ve been using powerlevel10k for a long time, but a few days ago, I decided I wanted to customize it a bit. I opened the .p10k.zsh file, and I was shocked. It’s really massive, with TONS of options. I’ve been digging through for a few hours already, and it’s absolutely amazing how much you can customize it without...

herrvogel,

I wrote an Ansible playbook to install my zsh stuffs into a remote machine. I don’t run it against every machine though, just the ones where I ssh into particularly often and have the freedom to customize the shell.

herrvogel,

It’s one of those games that do a magic trick and make time go poof. Very deep, tons of things to do, and extremely moddable with a rich ecosystem. Something you can easily sink hundreds of hours into without even realizing it.

Excellent game overall.

herrvogel,

Someone should photoshop that text in the lower right corner to Stargate or something

herrvogel,

Because it borrows instead of stealing. Its memory management is more ethical.

herrvogel,

Her glasses change between panels

herrvogel,

The API fees clearly weren’t made to make money directly though, it was meant to get rid of 3rd party clients so they could more effectively do what the OP is about.

herrvogel,

I use python exclusively when I want to quickly throw some shit together that nobody’s ever gonna spend any time maintaining, so that tracks.

herrvogel,

It can’t exist. You can’t launch a new competitor to a mature and well-developed platform and hope to come anywhere near its feature set right off the bat. That’s never gonna happen, especially when a lot of the “requirements” you presented there are expensive shit that takes years of hard work to develop. You’re gonna have to give them time. And money, as it happens. They’re not gonna be able to develop that VR you present as a requirement if everybody refuses to use their platform because there is no VR. It’s a catch 22.

herrvogel,

Programming is just one part of the whole process of creating software. There’s more than just writing code. There’s also planning, design, architecture, testing, deployment, maintenance, etc. All that is engineering. Unsurprisingly, people with software engineering training tend to have a more complete idea as to what goes into it all.

I hate how everything requires you to download a shitty proprietary data harvesting app nowadays when everything can be done just fine without an app.

I have recently started university and am required to use an app that has three Facebook trackers, one of them being a Facebook location tracker according to Exodus App Privacy, for the dining plan, when it would literally work perfectly fine using your student ID and ordering to a real cashier, LIKE HOW IT HAS BEEN DONE FOR...

herrvogel,

The final episode of the latest season goes harder on this issue. This time the turns have tabled though.

herrvogel,

enough force to kill someone

It’s never enough to kill you. A water jet comparable in power to a tank shell hits you in the face, you’re maybe gonna faint at worst. A literal God brings down the fury of heavens upon you, and you’re just knocked out cold with a bruise that the local ER can heal free of charge.

herrvogel,

This explains it in great detail

herrvogel,

Thanks, whoever saved my poor eyes from that terrible display of profanity that surely would have scarred me for life.

herrvogel,

Well I kinda care. Right now lemmy is kinda… boring? The content variety is very limited and the alternatives to the niche communities I enjoy(ed) on reddit are mostly just barren deserts. That’s all because of the rather small and relatively homogenous user base. It’s a bit too echo chamber-y too.

herrvogel,

Lemmy is not special in that its actively contributing members are a small minority. The majority are, always have been, and always will be occasional participants at best. All social platforms are like that. That’s how reddit works, that’s how archlinux forums work, that’s how your local open mic poetry club works. I’m not going to apologize to anyone for not posting. I’m not interested.

herrvogel,

Longing for the day when I’ll finally get to ask my friend if I can borrow his 18-wheeler so I can haul home the CPU I bought on craigslist.

herrvogel,

I doubt quantum computing is ever gonna be viable for home computing. The benefits they offer over conventional computing are largely irrelevant to almost anything you might be doing at home, and better materials or manufacturing methods won’t change that.

herrvogel,

I got that. I myself live in a hot climate where the cars turn into disgusting saunas when left 1 minute too long in the sun. Never have I ever even considered driving through someone’s yard to park in the shade of their tree, even when I knew the the alternative was returning to a steering wheel that’s too hot to touch.

herrvogel,

I also find ORMs and query builders much easier to debug than most mative SQL database queries. Mostly because native SQL error messages tend to be some of the most unhelpful, most undescriptive crap out there, and ORMs help a bit with that.

Seriously, fuck MySQL error messages. 9 times out of 10 shit boils down to “you got some sort of error somewhere roughly over there, go fix”.

herrvogel,

That fake myth might just be older than tanks, let alone tankies. The guy who pulled the story out of his ass certainly is, at any rate.

herrvogel,

I ran into that same DNS issue with pi-hole but in a docker container, and the (bandaid) solution was to put the container in host network mode too. But turns out it’s not an issue but a feature. By default pi-hole only responds to DNS queries from within its local network. The host machine’s LAN is an external network to the containers, unless you set the container’s network mode to host. Pi-hole does have a setting to make it respond to DNS queries from other networks as well, though. What I’m saying is, that might not have been a podman issue.

herrvogel,

Artemis Fowl was just bad, not just a bad adaptation. It was an incoherent mess. Felt like they left way too much on the cutting room floor for the finished product to make sense.

herrvogel,

If you’re gonna make a conscious effort to not use cloudflare and fastly you might as well quit the internet altogether. You use those things all the time, mostly without even realizing it.

YSK: you can setup pihole on any old rooted android (5.0+) device (lemmy.nz)

I just discovered this and it works fantastically on any old / unused android device you might have lying around, I was shocked at how easy it was, all the instructions are there, once you have it running all you need to do is set your router DNS settings to your pihole IP address and presto! Ads and trackers are gone!...

herrvogel,

Running a pi-hole doesn’t require much juice. It’s a fancy DNS server, not a router. First gen raspberry pis were pretty weak and even those things didn’t even break a sweat.
