state_electrician,

This is so dumb. You got a deal with a big publisher and then you fuck it up by being a dumb fucking idiot.

state_electrician,

Just this week I realized that my driver’s license is so old, it’s a millennial.

state_electrician,

r/fantasy und r/golang

state_electrician,

Thanks. I’m already subscribed to the top community, but it rarely comes up in my feed, sadly.

state_electrician,

Das kann man doch bestimmt mit noch mehr Druck auf die Kinder einholen!

state_electrician,

I’ve been calling both my parents by their first names since I was 8.

state_electrician,

Honestly, 56 million profit is really not much. How many artists are getting next to nothing? 100,000? Splitting that profit between them leaves each with 560 per year. There’s even less when you include more.

And if Spotify raises the prices to pay more per play people will leave, leaving Spotify with less money to hand out. Having asshats like Rogan getting millions or the deals huge artists, who are already filthy rich like Taylor Swift, make with Spotify are what’s hurting small artists. I think Spotify has the same issue as the rest of the world. There is enough for everyone, it’s just not equally distributed.

Musste meinen Teil der Straße räumen und bin bei Berechnungen auf 2,5 bis 3 Tonnen Schnee gekommen. So brutal, bin am Ende. Und es schneit einfach weiter.

state_electrician,

I’m in the top 3% of listeners for Sabaton, but my most played song was 59 times Another Love by Tom Odell. And I’m an alchemist because I create more playlists than other users. Overall I listened to 44 genres.

state_electrician,

Exactly this. They are not leftist, they are just a bunch of idiot trolls who use extreme left views as a means of pissing people off. Their views, according to their posts, are cartoonishly extremist. And that’s why people don’t like them.

state_electrician,

Hm, ich weiß nicht, ob ich es OK finde, wenn medizinische Diagnosen gegen deinen Wunsch auf offiziellen Dokumenten landen. Aber gut, das Thema ist zu kompliziert für einfache Antworten.

state_electrician,

What a roller coaster of I don’t give a shit.

state_electrician,

Wait for next season!

state_electrician,

I use a tiling windows manager without gaps and there’s always one or more windows taking up the entire screen, so I never see a desktop background. The default on empty workspaces is plain black.

state_electrician,

I drink a pot of herbal tea, usually fennel or mint, every day. Nicer than just plain water and I don’t need a caffeine addiction in my life. During summer I drink cold-brew teas.

state_electrician,

That’s all true, except when I send you a command. You can totally trust me and just run it.

What item have you been using on a daily basis for the longest amount of time?

Sometimes I will use something and realize I’ve owned it forever. It’s a nice change in our throwaway reality. I think my personal record is a bicycle multi-tool I got for one of my first bikes, ~25 years ago. Still have it, still use it. When it comes to electronic devices I have a Panasonic mini Hi-Fi from ~2005. Never...

state_electrician,

And where the hell did she get that giant fishing rod? Looks like it’s at least 70m long.

state_electrician,

Only slightly related question: is there such a thing as an external nVidia GPU for AI models? I know I can rent cloud GPUs but I am wondering if long-term something like an external GPU might be worth it.

state_electrician,

The first movie came out in 1997 and was set 30 years after he was frozen in 1967. So your scenario would be true in 4 years.

state_electrician,

The real HURD is the friends we made along the way.

state_electrician,

But what happens when GKH and Linus are hit by a bus? The same bus. At the same time.

Question to those not in the USA, and who have lived outside the USA.

I’ve been thinking about something and want to check an assumption I have. I only hear directly from other people in the USA, and interract with the global community through memes. How are the gun regulations/laws different from yours in terms of strictness, and do you wish there was more or less where you live?...

state_electrician,

There are stories from a company I used to work for, where the CEO was walking through the office with a rifle. He apparently kept his hunting rifle in a gun safe in his office on days when he was planning on going hunting. And I have fired several guns at a shooting range in Hamburg. As I didn’t join the army this was my first time operating a firearm. Quite intense and interesting experience. Overall I agree with you, seeing firearms not carried by the police is such a rare experience here.

state_electrician,

I remember a related version from when I took Latin in school. “Si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses” (if you had remained silent, you would have remained a philosopher)

state_electrician,

I am not yet tired of pointing out that you cannot rely on a LLM for facts. LLMs like ChatGPT have no concept of what a fact is. Unless you already know something about a topic you won’t even notice when they are making stuff up.

state_electrician,

If you do this at your job, get written permission to paste internal code into another company’s data collection engine.

state_electrician,

Oh, yes, they absolutely have their uses. But at least at the moment they don’t live up to the hype. And until they get their facts straight, they are mostly useless for my job. I do keep warning people because I do see a worrying trend of people assuming ChatGPT actually knows what it’s talking about. And that is not the case.

state_electrician,

Nein, die sehen das einfach als zu große Konkurrenz für Bezahlangebote. Völlig irre Argumentation. Die Inhalte werden von den Bürgern finanziert und sollten somit auch immer abrufbar sein.

state_electrician,

There are alternatives listed here too: discuss.tchncs.de/post/6215470

I find all the ones like espeak, piper, festival to be awful. The voices are OK-ish, but intonation and pronunciation are so very bad. Tortoise is OK, but slow and not for long texts. Paid services like Google, AWS or Elevenlabs are miles ahead. There is a number of CUDA-based engines (provided in the comments of the post I linked) that you supposedly can use if you have a nVidia GPU available. I don’t, so they are not for me.

state_electrician,

Reis kochen lese ich immer wieder und ich mache das seit Jahrzehnten in einem ganz normalen Topf und das gelingt immer. Einfach Reis und Wasser im Verhältnis 1:2 rein, nach Geschmack Salz oder Brühe, aufkochen, dann runterstellen und ziehen lassen. Fertig ist der Reis. Da brennt nichts an und man muss den Reis nicht abgießen. Das ist wirklich eins der einfachsten Dinge beim Kochen.

state_electrician,

Reiskocher ist definitiv praktischer, das steht für mich auch fest. Hatte früher einen und der war super. Aber mittlerweile lohnt es sich für mich nicht, dafür ein eigenes Gerät rumstehen zu haben. Deshalb immer im Topf.

state_electrician,

That’s the only kind of drinking story I enjoy.

state_electrician,

Bei Nebeneinkünften bin ich hin- und hergerissen. Ich möchte einerseits Abgeordnete, die am normalen Leben teilhaben und arbeiten und keine abgehobene Politikerkaste. Aber andererseits will ich auch keine korrupten Penner, die nur in die Politik gehen um für sich und ihre Spezies mehr rauszuholen. Kann halt in beide Richtungen gründlich danebengehen.

state_electrician,

Ja, da stimme ich dir zu. Diäten sind notwendig, um gerade Leuten, die es sich sonst eben nicht erlauben könnten, parlamentarische Arbeit zu ermöglichen. Aber wer zigtausende an Nebeneinkünften einfährt, der braucht dann keine Diäten mehr.

state_electrician,

Ja, auch eine gute Idee.

state_electrician,

Und wenn es nicht aus dem Mittelalter kommt, dann bestimmt von den Nazis, um Juden zu verdrängen.

state_electrician,

It’s Americans who live in an area with many Spanish speakers shitting on everybody who is not, by saying that any area without many Spanish speaking people is a place where you don’t want to be.

state_electrician,

You can also soak your faucet diffusers in citric acid to remove built-up limescale.

state_electrician,

This is so American. From the availability of firearms, to their immediate use upon a perceived threat, to the economic situation that would have him evicted, to the insane sentence of 100 years for a 66 year old who needs an oxygen tank. Just sad all around.

state_electrician,

Other countries don’t follow the punitive approach to criminal law, but rather a reformative. With the facts we are presented with it actually seems more like a failure of society instead of just one man. The sentence is absolutely ridiculous.

state_electrician,

Masochists enjoy having pain inflicted upon themselves, sadists enjoy seeing other people suffer.

state_electrician,

I guess they mean that you get to solve many Captchas if you access Cloudflare-protected sites through a VPN.

state_electrician,

Do you mean Wireguard? I couldn’t find anything called Fireguard.

state_electrician,

You can just self-host Wireguard on an always-free Oracle cloud machine (or of course any other cloud host). It’s quite easy to set up and there are open source Wireguard UIs and clients for any OS. I will never rely on a company like Tailscale or Cloudflare for something like this.

What are the recommended scripting languages for complex shell scripts beyond bash?

I’ve been struggling with a rather complex shell script, and it’s becoming apparent that Bash might not be the best choice for this particular task. While I usually gravitate towards statically typed languages like Go or Rust, I’ve noticed that many people recommend alternative languages such as Lua or Python for scripting...

state_electrician,

I use Go a lot for this task, because it’s language I know well and can get the job done. And with Go you get a single binary, which is just as easy to deploy as a shell script.

state_electrician,

As far as I know the Bitwarden browser plugin for Firefox does not yet support WebAuthn/Passkeys, as it’s still on the September release. Chrome is already on the October version. A build of Vaultwarden from yesterday onwards should support storing it, once your browser is ready.

state_electrician,

I don’t know. Troll 2, Gigli, Cats all come to mind.
