This rational animation channel seems to focus pretty non-stop on AI-risk crank talking points. Can't tell by skimming if they're engaging critically, but it seems unlikely.

And now you're apparently inspired to make a cutsiefied rendering of a slop machine running prompts, which is likened to a child being encouraged to explore.

I don't wanna shit on the art or anything, but it seems like the general AI psyop is getting to you a little.

Mit Mint wurdest du schon gut beraten. Man kriegt die stable Debian-Basis und den gut gepflegten apt-Paketmanager. Und im Gegensatz zu Ubuntu ist der ultrakompatible Flathub Store schon vorinstalliert, wo du fast alles kriegst das nicht schon auf apt ist. (Im Zweifel rate ich aber immer zu apt, die Apps laufen meist runder und brauchen weniger Speicher.)

Having gone through the setup as an SSL terminator, it did have a bunch of unnecessary pain, though I now like my setup a lot. I'll have to blog about it once I set up my blog. I can't speak to the performance, though I would care about that once I run something more involved.

After looking at caddy a little harder, I can't help but notice some sneerable qualities...

I'm using acme.sh for that. It also supports Hetzner API btw.

I liked the take take, though it is put in perspective by the fact that he bought the "AI will revolutionize SW Engineering" story.

AI has enabled me to be more daring in my work and offered more difficult problems to tackle. It’s intoxicating, but also tiring. The productivity gains are real, but I wouldn’t put a multiplier on them. It all averages out around 20-25% individual productivity increase.

I work with GitLab a lot. I think it's better for organizations than using GitHub, but my SW Engineer Spidey sense gives me death spiral vibes.

They've swallowed the AI Kool-Aid and are redesigning the UI to push their Chatbot on you (disabled by my org fortunately, but I still see it). They are feature creeping the fuck out of their already bloated product and are engineering features specifically to keep lots of usefull stuff behind the paid tiers, which are getting more expensive.

It's fine for institutional use if you have sane admins, but long-term I 100% bet on Forgejo.

I have heard about caddy a couple times now from people seemingly new to hosting.

Can I ask why it's so popular when Apache httpd still works fine and has reasonable governance?

This gives me very good vibes. The kids are all right. Maybe not economically, probably not, but in spirit at least.

Just realized this is also how I feel about Element.

I grip your shirt (choose keyboard layout) and start lifting it over your head (selecting partition scheme), but you pull back, suddenly unsure...

"B-but this isn't one of those cringe distros, is it?"

Dieser Amateur wollte wohl schreiben:

Wiss-Fik Autor: in meinem Buch habe ich den Folter-Knotenpunkt als warnendes Beispiel erfunden.

Viel besser! überhebliche Meuchelpuffer Geräusche

If you wonder how you can look at any of this without viscerally realizing that it's absolute dogshit, I found the authors perpetrators conclusion very insightful.

Where we go from here

I expect these issues to all be fixed by the end of 2027.

In the same cut, the guy then materializes a hat in his hand and puts it on, replacing the hat he was already wearing.

Posadism 10/10 for style

Wikipedia

Posadism attempts to introduce elements of ufology into Marxist thought. Arguing that only communism can allow the development of interplanetary travel, they concluded that visiting aliens from other planets must live in highly advanced communist societies and are bound to help Earth-based communists with bringing about the world revolution.

Hang on while I look up the sed command to edit your shirt off...

Das war rein mein überwältigend negatives Bias gegen neue Mozilla Features. Musste erstmal gucken was es wirklich ist...

Sieht aus wie ein holländisches DuckDuckGo. Hab ich jetz nix auszusetzen dran. Für nur eine neue Default Suchmaschine wirkt der Blogartikel deutlich überhyped.

Ist jetzt keine Kritik an StartPage, aber bis es zum Oligopol der Such-Indexe eine unabhängige Alternative gibt wird mich in der Sparte nix vom Hocker holen.

Na toll, muss ich wohl bald wieder in die Settings und das abstellen.

Tech won't save us, but we sure could make a great start by, say, submerging 20 carefully chosen server racks in pickle juice.
