- Comment on Anthropic's Claude Code tool had a bug that 'bricked' some systems 2 days ago:
If you can just do a reinstall to fix something then it’s not ‘bricked’.
- Comment on Least terrible domain registrars 3 days ago:
You literally started off by doing that lmao.
- Comment on Least terrible domain registrars 3 days ago:
This seems like a lot of text for saying “unless you can predict all the specific ways a bad thing could happen, I think putting all your eggs in one basket is fine.”
- Comment on Least terrible domain registrars 5 days ago:
That’s why I said I don’t trust them to not fuck up, not that it’s something that should ordinarily be expected. Additionally, especially considering how the rule of law in their jurisdiction is going recently I wouldn’t assume it will always be this way.
- Comment on Least terrible domain registrars 5 days ago:
Your registrar (the place you buy your domains) are where you update your nameservers. If Cloudflare have locked you out then you won’t be able to change them. Other standard registrars will have far less cause, legitimate or not, to lock or disable your account, since they don’t host/proxy your content.
- Comment on Least terrible domain registrars 6 days ago:
I wouldn’t buy domains from Cloudflare from a risk mitigation perspective. At work I direct six figures of budget their way annually, but as a free-tier customer in my personal life I don’t trust them not to fuck up at some point and lock my account. If I register my domain elsewhere I can bring myself back online by moving the nameservers. If it’s registered at Cloudflare I’m fucked.
- Comment on John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed 1 week ago:
The CEO is problematic and right wing, for examples see the most recent paragraphs in his career section on Wikipedia en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Eich
- Comment on Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books 3 weeks ago:
Amazon spent 20 years being unprofitable on purpose. You think they don’t have long term strategies?
- Comment on Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books 3 weeks ago:
It’s the old bait and switch, they had to have this feature to build initial trust in ebooks.
- Comment on Days Gone Remastered announced coming to PC as a $10 DLC in April 3 weeks ago:
I hope they do it like they did with Horizon Zero Dawn so we end up with both editions.
- Comment on Former Oracle Cloud exec Don Johnson takes over as Docker's new CEO | TechCrunch 3 weeks ago:
Many have moved to or added the GitHub registry. It’s still a corporate controlled registry, but Microsoft are far more likely (and able) to eat the cost for developer goodwill.
I’ve got a registry running on my homelab that I haven’t quite moved fully over to yet.
- Comment on Pixelfed's first plateau in progress 4 weeks ago:
I’m not a PHP fan but it scales better than Python or Ruby (Mastodon) does. I think Dan is a cowboy of an engineer, but blaming performance on his stack choice is a bad take.
- Comment on Important News - Geoblocking of the UK 4 weeks ago:
Just to avoid potential issues because this is a common misconception, Ireland is not in the UK. 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
- Comment on The UK's Demands for Apple to Break Encryption Is an Emergency for Us All. 4 weeks ago:
The timing of this makes me think the new US admin cut the UK off from previous access.
- Comment on How to get lemmy to not crop images? 4 weeks ago:
Just curious because I’m thinking about self-hosting, if you self-host an instance why are you not posting from your account there?
- Comment on What are your Homelab goals for 2025? 2 months ago:
I’m still in the middle of a K8s migration. It’s overkill for a home user, but I want the upskilling.
I’ve got a QNAP NAS with self-managed linux for storage, and a MS-01 with an RTX A2000 for compute. They’re connected over 10Gb SFP+. I’m more than half way done, especially considering I mostly know what I’m doing now.
I still need to figure out the idiomatically right way to schedule pods with their storage, but I got GPU workloads going recently. Next up is migrate the last of the docker-compose from the storage node.
- Comment on Rumor: Valve Is Bringing Steam Branding To Everything: PC Hardware, Games, Netcafes, And More 2 months ago:
The timing of this tells me we should expect some hardware partnership announcements at CES in January.
- Comment on Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Devs Reveal The Game Is Releasing Earlier Than Expected 2 months ago:
February 4th.
- Comment on USA | California bill would give public university admission priority to slaves' descendants 2 months ago:
Calling it “for show” is a bit dismissive. Putting forward bills you know won’t pass is a good tactic for forcing a discussion of those topics.
- Comment on I’m much more excited for Avowed after hearing the team say that what makes RPGs special is “missable content” 2 months ago:
Yeah, I feel like any interesting RPG is going to be a slog for achievements. I don’t want the story and choices dumbed down to change that either.
- Comment on Former Mass Effect director cancels his next sci-fi game as his studio closes before it is fully revealed 3 months ago:
Real bad time to be trying to get a new studio off the ground.
- Comment on Stein: Google proposal will ‘restore healthy competition’ 3 months ago:
it’s not like heaps of people are clamoring to use alternatives.
I wonder if there’s a causal relationship there 🤔
- Comment on Help with training plan 3 months ago:
Decent list and plan overall. Since you enjoy self hosting and seem systems oriented, I’d add Python on the curriculum somewhere. That would round things out nicely for you.
- Comment on Use 'Bridgy Fed' to connect Mastodon and Bluesky 3 months ago:
You can just block it.
- Comment on Chinese company trained GPT-4 rival with just 2,000 GPUs — 01.ai spent $3M compared to OpenAI's $80M to $100M 3 months ago:
I’d like to hear it expressed in terms watts rather than number of GPUs for an indeterminate amount of time.
