Their networking cards are great too.
- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 1 day ago:
I don’t think going to school prevents you from transitioning into a management role, nor does it seem to have prevented you from obtaining a career in the industry.
I don’t think it’s necessarily fair to blame your degree for a lack of management positions, you could always transition into management like others have done. I don’t think those others got hired into management specifically because they didn’t have a degree, or because they were high school dropouts. It’s entirely possible they only got into their roles through nepotism, which would have nothing to do with a degree or a lack of a degree anyway.
With that said, yeah, the money being made in the trades by business owners… yeah, that would have been nice, but even then there’s no guarantees that everyone can start their own successful business and make well into 6 figures and beyond.
- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 2 days ago:
Hi there, now you have my curiosity.
Which degree was it, why do you regret getting it?
- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 2 days ago:
I’ve never met anyone who regretted getting their degree.
I have met people who regretted not getting one because it closed doors for them (including talented people who were otherwise doing well at their jobs) so if someone is really going to forgo their degree, they should acknowledge it’s a risk.
- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 2 days ago:
Even if you don’t get a CS job you should still get your degree anyway, it will make getting other jobs easier. A degree is better than no degree.
- Comment on FFmpeg moves to Forgejo 6 days ago:
I hadn’t heard of Forgejo, although I realize now that I have seen repositories using it before. I think it’s cool that they even have statically linked binaries of it but it’s a bit concerning that like an entire web server is built in because what if there’s vulnerabilities? I guess if you regularly stayed up to date it’s not too bad then.

3DS is still awesome even in 2025.
- Comment on ChatGPT 5 power consumption could be as much as eight times higher than GPT 4 — research institute estimates medium-sized GPT-5 response can consume up to 40 watt-hours of electricity 1 week ago:
Well yeah, it’s a for-profit company. They exist solely to make money, that’s their entire goal.
It’s almost all marketing and has been for a while. ChatGPT peaked with 4o (and 4.5 if you used their API), 4.1 was a step backwards despite them calling it an improvement, and 5 was another step backwards.
- Comment on Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain' 1 week ago:
Either government needs to regulate that payment processors get no say in the contents of customers business, or else they need to regulate the adoption of a neutral digital payment system.
I think it’s more likely for me to win the mega jackpot, and I don’t even buy lottery tickets.

I want a hunt and gatherer girlfriend, wtf.
- Comment on AOL will end dial-up internet service in September, 34 years after it's debut — AOL Shield Browser and AOL Dialer software will be shuttered on the same day 1 week ago:
Hell, I’m sure there are still some places that only have dialup.
- Comment on No, the UK’s Online Safety Act Doesn’t Make Children Safer Online 2 weeks ago:
Obviously not, but it’s not like they’re gonna be honest and call it the UK Online Spying Act.
- Comment on Schools are using AI to spy on students and some are getting arrested for misinterpreted jokes and private conversations 2 weeks ago:
Nothing you say online is private, it can all be copied/screengrabbed/recorded/photographed and shared by the recipient.
Even if you fully trust the recipient, often times it can still be intercepted unless it’s end-to-end encrypted, but even then the end device can still be stolen too.
- Comment on If I wanted to bury a hard drive for archival purposes (e.g. Country becoming Dictatorship), how to keep the contents from being damaged and where is the safest place to bury it? 2 weeks ago:
He’s right, flash media loses data as unplugged flash memory loses charge over time. It’s called charge leakage in flash memory, it’s a well-known phenomenon.
A hard drive might work, but, it would need to be stored in some sort of sealed box to keep it safe.
- Comment on Blamed for Steam games ban, Mastercard encourages censorship during Riot Games VCT livestreams 2 weeks ago:
I wish they weren’t a duopoly. There isn’t really any other options even if they are better.
- Comment on Proxmox 9 released 2 weeks ago:
and the pve8to9 checklist script suggests to run this migration script if necessary
Ah, okay that makes more sense.

Better rain going up than fire coming down.
- Comment on Proxmox 9 released 2 weeks ago:
I took a look but I don’t see any isvone command mentioned anywhere.
- Comment on Proxmox 9 released 2 weeks ago:
It might be safer to wait, one of my IRL friends ran into an issue, and I saw some others post about it on the Proxmox forums:
TASK ERROR: activating LV ‘pve/data’ failed: Check of pool pve/data failed (status:64). Manual repair required!I think I didn’t run into that error because I flattened my LVM kinda, but if I hadn’t customized my setup maybe I would have run into that too.

I tell myself that every time, but I mean, I still end up doing it every time anyway lmao

I’ve written a few personal projects in Laravel too, I don’t mind modern PHP tbh.
- Comment on GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out. 2 weeks ago:
Threatening remarks like that are why I learned PHPUnit, and yeah it made me become a better developer, but often times these are just empty statements.
AI is just another tool in my toolbox.

- Comment on Another Google Pixel 6a catches fire after battery-nerfing update 3 weeks ago:
Seems like it has a 778G SoC too which would be pretty solid for emulation as well. That’s an interesting option!
- Comment on Another Google Pixel 6a catches fire after battery-nerfing update 3 weeks ago:
A battery exchange program is not quite the same thing as an actual product recall.
- Comment on Mastercard and Visa face backlash after hundreds of adult games removed from online stores Steam and Itch.io 3 weeks ago:
Exactly. We need thousands of people calling them non stop disturbing them for hours on end, not just signing petitions.
- Comment on Another Google Pixel 6a catches fire after battery-nerfing update 3 weeks ago:
Maybe they should do a recall.
