My Vaultwarden is behind a private VPN, but I’ll still update today. Thanks.

My favorite is StalinSort. You go through the list and eliminate all elements which are not in line.

Line must always go up.

Have you tried wanting to be monetized?

I used to be all on board with that, but seeing what a colossal waste of resources AI is, I’ve come to question other efforts like this one or calculating pi to a trillion digits. The trigger here for me was the use of GPUs, which I’ve come to associate with AI waste. Sure, I know they’re just a tool. But I still don’t see what value will come from knowing ever bigger prime numbers.

I didn’t use to do this, but with the world being on fire I feel like I should ask whether the amount of energy put into finding huge primes is really worth it.

When I check ticket prices for my family of five, the cheapest option at Disney World is 1700 Euro. That’s on the Disney website and does not include travel or lodging or food.

Could you even make a more obvious ad for Bluesky?

I feel burnt out on professional development, but at least for me tech debt is not the issue. Everything is imperfect after a while, because requirements change all the time and overall it’s not me accruing the debt. That’s why I don’t care.

All I hear is we need to start culling the super rich.

You can always count on this twat to do the dumbest, shittiest thing he can.

Oh, oops. Then carry on.

For voice? When I last used Discord, they were offering search, so text is definitely not encrypted.

Our phones back then were actual potatoes and we wore them next to the turnip on our belt, as was the fashion back then.

I am so old that I worked with SGML. Compared to that, XML is a lovely language. And sometimes I still miss writing XSLT to quickly transform some XML documents. These days you can do similar things with JSON, of course. But it’s not as easy and standardized as the XML tooling.

I remember the time when YAML meant Yet Another Markup Language.

To paraphrase: There are two kinds of markup languages. Those that people complain about and those that nobody uses.

There is no silver bullet that will work perfectly for all use cases and we also don’t want to use 100 different tools. So people use things that aren’t perfect. But they’re good enough. I don’t think YAML is perfect and I still use it, because people know it and there are tons of tools already available.

How is that different than what Go, for example, does? An if err != nil after each statement is just as annoying. In the end you have to validate almost all return values and the way it happens is just syntax.

The exception is part of the method signature and thus part of the return value. I don’t see a difference between using if or try-catch to validate a method call.

I found options like .local and now .internal way too long for my private stuff. So I managed to get a two-letter domain from some obscure TLD and with Cloudflare as DNS I can use Caddy to get Let’s Encrypt certs for hosts that resolve to 10.0.0.0/8 IPs. Caddy has plugins for other DNS providers, if you don’t want to go with Cloudflare.
