- Comment on New data shows companies are rehiring former employees as AI falls short of expectations 3 hours ago:
hold out for higher pay, better hours, more vacation – anything
Not immediately. Take the job now and get the finances under control. But don’t stop interviewing and applying, and move from a position of strength into a better job when it comes around. And if you’re back at the old job that ditched you, then ditching them isn’t so hard this time.
Always take care of the basic needs - money for food, money for clothing, money for shelter - before moving up the Maslow pyramid.
- Comment on New data shows companies are rehiring former employees as AI falls short of expectations 3 hours ago:
Yeah. The issue isn’t what Ai can do, but more that CEO/CIOs have been sold magic beans.

Yep. I’m gonna miss real engineering with the coming Ai-driven Idiocracy.
- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 1 day ago:
No need to wait aeons for someone who enjoys the sound of their own voice to slowly and laboriously explain it like astronomy to a dog. Someone wrote 15 words and I read it in about a half-second.

Can rebut; was also a guard, briefly, first with rounds at a remote pulp mill, and then pit-lamping hobos at a construction site. Raccoons and bears and cougars – oh my!
- Comment on Some meetings don't even need to be e-mails. 3 days ago:
others meet anyway just to shoot the shit
Hey now. Shooting the shit is how we test our mics before the meeting. If you can’t make the pre-meeting, then suffer and never know whether your mic is shit.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 3 days ago:
The mainstream, not the classic, usually horde on Staghelm. I did try Classic a bit, as I missed the challenge, but I had no playmates n classic for a while and when I came back they’d gotten to Cata; and that’s when I noped out.
- Comment on Breakthrough gel can regenerate tooth enamel within weeks 3 days ago:
With enamel regrowing constantly after the smallest scratch, cavities cannot get to where they form.
This hokum story is promising no more cavities ever.

Some WoW, some Zero-K.

Good luck with your move! We moved, one year, from Vancouver to Ottawa, and for 6 weeks the movers had No Idea where the truck was. It was so stressful!
- Comment on Death of beloved neighborhood cat sparks outrage against robotaxis in San Francisco 4 days ago:
People who keep their kids inside but let their pets play in traffic are psychopaths.
I know what I said.
- Comment on moving from nextcloud to opencloud 4 days ago:
Yep. But owncloud went from old and idle to active again. It seems to be a more LTS take on it where NextCloud is your All Features Faster mandate.
Just show me the one that doesn’t rely on containers, venvs, npm or other supply-chain risks.

Yep, two reasons I’m out.
- Comment on If animals could speak English in what foreign accent do you think that a certain species would certainly have ? 6 days ago:
All racism is stereotyping, but maybe not all stereotyping is racist.
Moose would sound like John Goodman doing a decent accent.
Canada Geese could sound like peewee herman on meth.
Bears? Dunno.
- Comment on If animals could speak English in what foreign accent do you think that a certain species would certainly have ? 6 days ago:
Would it be like “totes mid, fr, fr”? THAT pidgin?
- Comment on Jellyfin: why is the line two different colors? 6 days ago:
They don’t realize the colors are arbitrary. Many don’t realize the internet spans the world.
Socialism and democracy are good words in some countries. Socialism is how my sister in law gets to retire at 55 and in excellent health, and democracy is how they got that.
- Comment on YSK before you buy a replacement for your cellphone that has stopped charging, buy the $10 cleaning kits and spend the time deep cleaning the phone's charging port. 6 days ago:
The last time I plugged my phone in to charge was … Well, never with this one.
It has a 3.5mm and a Qi charging and sharing rig. I wish I could have this phone forever.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 1 week ago:
should be a right, absolutely if you’ve done nothing wrong.
The loss of privacy happens before the determination whether that person has done anything wrong. If the person’s criminal case goes well, do you have a time machine to go back and not invade privacy?
- Comment on If "James Bond" is a codename, would a hypothetical female operative filling the same role receive the same codename? 1 week ago:
I didn’t like Ms Lynch as the actor, though. I didn’t respond well to her portrayal and I thought it was just … off. I don’t know.
Sonequa Martin-green makes an excellent cop and a decent zombie-fighter, and I think she’d make an excellent bond if we’re looking to upset the rednecks.
But they’ll probably keep it a stuffy male brit character, so Cilian Murphy or Henry Cavill, but I would have loved to’ve seen Idris Elba get a turn.
- Comment on Promised myself I will support them after they go stable. They kept their promise and so did I 1 week ago:
I dearly wish to use and support this app.
But here’s the thing: containers - like so many other mechanisms - suffer from supply-chain risks due to reduced validation to the degree assumed and required compared to, say, good packaging that integrates with the resident source of truth on a given system. Containers, like so many other risky mechanisms that dates back to CPAN or earlier, cannot exist in a secure environment.
For those of us working where we can to minimize repair/recovery work through best practice, Immich cannot be run.
I know there’s a homebrew workaround, but given it’s external to the dev effort it’s a risk that it won’t suddenly work as a reliable update resource; and that risk stymies uptake for us.
Now, I know I’ve suggested there’s imperfection in a number of favourite technologies and methods, and that’s fine. If downvotes is how you defend these sacred cows, I understand.
- Comment on Promised myself I will support them after they go stable. They kept their promise and so did I 1 week ago:
Correct: it’s like trying to equate “correct” with “popular”, and keeping in mind how the last US elections have turned out.
But it’s good to be in a big network of other users with the same product, nonetheless.
- Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while? 1 week ago:
Because people don’t realize how ridiculously insecure SMS and (usually unencrypted) email are.
It’s just kids who never had a mentor.

- Comment on How often do you update software on your servers? 1 week ago:
Yum-cron. Daily. Rolling bounce on a schedule.
It has been rock-solid for 20 years, but lennart’s cancer and the growing amount of shite they’re shoveling into EL has caused a few issues here and there with 7, 9 and 10. (Skipped 8 because f that)
But, today, it works. So that’s year 23 and 8 months.
- Comment on Why do seemingly all politicians (and no one else) do that hand gesture when they talk, the one where it looks like they're holding an invisible fishing rod? 1 week ago:
I miss Obama and other politicians who could actually speak.
- Comment on Why do seemingly all politicians (and no one else) do that hand gesture when they talk, the one where it looks like they're holding an invisible fishing rod? 1 week ago:
There are very few configurations of the hand and fingers that aren’t offensive to someone. This one is one of the last few remaining, with “thousand points o’ laght”, a list that doesn’t include “yuge” or the double “okay” sign.
So everyone does it.
- Comment on "What is the oldest country in the world that still exists?" is a Ship of Theseus problem. 1 week ago:
Göbekli Tepe was settled some 10,000+ years ago.
Istanbul was Constantinople in one of the at-least-three other empires that claimed that land. Contiguity is kinda out.
- Comment on A single point of failure triggered the Amazon outage affecting millions 1 week ago:
There’s a huge gulf between pub clowd and shitty on-prem. My daytime contract is with an organization almost completely on-prem for privacy, although on-prem to them means priv-cloud. Space has been rented. Redundant everything piped in. Redundant everything set up. We run VMs by terraform. Wheeeeee
Point is, posing shitty on-prem as the alternative to the clowd is moving the goalposts a bit.
