Due to lemmy.world blocking pirating communities, I will now be using !CosmicTurtle0

CosmicTurtle,

Ngl, I absolutely love rigid. Most have lifetime guarantees, even on batteries.

Never had to exercise them fortunately.

I hope someday we'll find a way to pirated a car (lemmy.world)

In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn’t feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in...

CosmicTurtle,

That’s the irony of all of this. I too would donate to a project that was actively trying to do this, even donate to their legal fund. I’d probably pay more than the subscription!

These asshole companies just don’t realize that a determined developer and engineer will move heaven and earth to make sure that their freedoms (as in speech) aren’t restricted.

I don’t care if it’s illegal. It’s my fucking car. Once you sell it to me, it ceases to be your property. You leave $100 bill in the glove compartment before you sell it to me? Well it’s mine now.

You leave software on my car’s computer? Welp, it’s mine now.

CosmicTurtle,

They intentionally didn’t roll the subscription into the sale price. That’s the goal. They want that sweet, predictable, monthly income that they sell their investors on.

They also figured that if you’ve found your car, you’re less likely to walk away for what is essentially a fraction of the car’s price.

I honestly hope the next car I buy has shit like this. Because boy am I going to make it my mission to jailbreak it and release my code open source.

CosmicTurtle, (edited )

It shouldn’t be done at all. If you’re updating discord, you’re writing something. That something should be, at the bare minimum, in a README file.

If you can’t be bothered with Markdown, just do text.

I’ve never encountered this in the wild so I can’t say for certain why a FOSS project would choose to do this.

Maybe they are trying to get more people on their server?

CosmicTurtle,

Troubleshooting I could see being in discord. But it shouldn’t be the only option.

I got the feeling this is mostly niche stuff or very new developers that don’t have GitHub experience.

You can integrate GitHub issues with discord. I imagine similar integrations exist with gitlab

CosmicTurtle,

I haven’t seen this either. OP, you got a link? I’d love to see what kind of software is doing this.

CosmicTurtle,

And it’s 2024 which means a new LTS version will drop around the April/May timeframe.

Self-hosted or personal email solutions?

I have a unique name, think John Doe, and I’m hoping to create a unique and “professional” looking email account like johndoe@gmail.com or john@doe.com. Since my name is common, all reasonable permutations are taken. I was considering purchasing a domain with something unique, then making personal family email accounts for...

CosmicTurtle,

The last one I encountered was one of the AI tools. I can’t remember which one. They are popping up like fucking Starbucks now.

They required using your Gmail, Outlook, or Discord credentials.

CosmicTurtle,

I think the point is that a scammer may have one or two. But not millions of Gmail addresses.

CosmicTurtle,

More and more services are REQUIRING a gmail/outlook/etc. account simply because bots/scammers bombard their services. It’s their cheap captcha.

I’m seeing it more and more and it infuriates me to no end.

CosmicTurtle,

The color palette of fortune 100 companies seem to be, in order of frequency: Blue, Red, and White (not counting negative space).

I think that there was some study that found that these colors are the most impactful or some shit.

CosmicTurtle,

You have to set up a proxy.

Even for those who are technical enough to set up a pihole, it’s annoying to set up a proxy and some apps simply won’t work with it.

CosmicTurtle,

Not sure if these instructions work. First result from Google.

CosmicTurtle,

The vast majority of my open source projects, I’m the only user. I release it open source because back in the day, GitHub only allowed open source projects if you want to use it.

But another reason is the hope that someone will find it helpful. If not the project itself but maybe the code.

I have one project that has a significant following and honestly it’s sometimes very scary because I might not want to keep it updated because of my own interests changing.

CosmicTurtle,

That may work short term

That’s all that matters. The next quarter’s growth is more important than the year-end P/L sheets.

CosmicTurtle,

I mean…are they good mods? Does the candidate have good code etiquette?

Honestly, the fact that a candidate would mod any game, let alone a hentai game, would be pluses in my book.

CosmicTurtle,

Yeah…but even then they may not get to you.

Over the holidays, I had a good back and forth with the maintainer of a project that I started using. The documentation needed updating and created a PR.

Then I went almost 10 comment rounds on why it was necessary, why I wrote it the way I did, and all this bullshit.

I just left it saying “merge it or whatever. I’m moving on.”

It’s still open.

CosmicTurtle,

Yup. I used ansible for a good year, maybe two, and found myself asking, “Why the fuck am I maintaining some abstract thing when I can just write a shell script and deploy that?”

Cloud orchestration is better done with other tooling. Honestly don’t see a use case for ansible beyond physical data center deployments.

CosmicTurtle,

I figured the “I” was referring to the author. Like “I Hiked Mt. Everest: An introduction on how to be a pretentious knob”

CosmicTurtle,

Wouldn’t that be “I Did Do IT”?

A better title would be “I’m Not a Waiter: An Introduction to Servers and Networking”

CosmicTurtle,

What’s why you always smoke ribs. If you have the space, a nice long charcoal smoke for 12 hours for the full billionaire. If you don’t have the space, then 4-6 hours for just the ribs.

CosmicTurtle,

I did mean that. And don’t call me Shirley.

CosmicTurtle,

Rodent Shakespeare

CosmicTurtle,

Yeah I saw the Google sheets scraping tool and that looked promising but I don’t want to have to rely on Xpath since it could change.

Right now I’m leaning toward change detector but can’t get the reverse proxy to work.
