  you know that grid storage does not always mean “a huge battery”, you can also just pump water in a higher basin oder push carts up a hill and release the potential energy when you need it…

  If you have a Stalker, maybe stop publishing private data… Just my opinion…

  ZIP Files are a constant source of exploits and Malware.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for advice on PC build for programming⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  as a senior developer my advice is: buy parts and learn to assemble, the exchangeable parts are (at least for me):

  • CPU/Mainboard/RAM : always bought as a bundle (RAM at least 32GB), because dependencies are too high, I prefer AMD, but ymmv
  • GPU : Easy to switch, easy to spend a fortune, i always prefer mid range cards or older ones like the AMD RX 6600
  • Storage: Always the fastest possible, if you need to go cheap, then make it smaller, linux does need no significant space, and i run my system on a 240GB M.2
  • Case/PSU: Buy it only once, i still use a case from the 90`s, the PSU will only be upgraded if connectors change, 750W are enough for most of the work
  • HID: Dont go cheap on Monitors and Mouse/Keyboard, IPS displays are a must, if you have multiple screens (angular view is distorted otherwise), Most gaming input devices work very good for programmers, i prefer logitech (with ratbag), but corsair has very goot support under linux too (ckb-next)

  And Lemmy.ml is managed by one of the devs. And because this instance ist rather self entitled, they don’t care about bugs that much

  I was at a zoo at a guided feeding of chimpanzees. The wuide showed us by example, that the apes were way better at aiming than him, and If you give them a food they don’t like, you should wear a helmet, AS they Hit your face with a cabbage from 30m away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VS Code Drops Ubuntu 18.04 Support, Devs 'Screwed'⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is an example of a Problem, a working package Manager would solve.

  If you install software that’s not out of a repo or If your package manager ist too stupid to resolve dependencies, it’s totally your fault

  If it came from a repo and MS didn’t update the dependencies, they are assholes. But i doubt it in this case. If this was the case, it wouldn’t just be ubuntu.
