The LLMs made search engines near useless by publishing mountains of slop - it’s almost all noise and no signal.

I frequently get top three search results for things like “how to sharpen an electric razor” where the article is 5 paragraphs of garbage and then “step one, remove razor, step two sharpen razor, step three enjoy your sharp razor!” … Then another 5 paragraphs of pointless slop.

Fucking infuriating.

Same. Local RAID 1 with rotating external drives where one is always offsite, then B2 as a last ditch “just in case” for my most important data. I forget how much data I have in B2 but it’s about $2/month.

I use Debian BTW. ; )

But you’re right, when did it shift from gentoo to arch?

Go back in time and buy Mudvayne’s LD50 album then go to the library to figure out wtf that stands for

… I didn’t buy this album to learn but it happened anyway :D

89.7%, your statistic is out of date

How does this compare, ram wise, to curl wttr.in ?

You read the articles?

You’re supposed to immediately shitpost based on the post title. At least, that’s how I learned to Lemmy

Hey, I’ve been there.

Heads up, don’t ever go to Salem even remotely close to Halloween. We didn’t think about it and happened to be there the first week of October and it was insanely crowded. I asked a local and they said it was “calm” compared to how it gets around Halloween.

Though you should visit TST while you’re there. You can touch (or even sit on) the baphomet statue.

I’ve been leery about bitwarden client updates since the posts awhile back about the new(ish) PE/VC c suite person.

I’m not saying those are related in any way other than the fact that I intentionally haven’t updated my clients to the latest yet and for once it worked out for me :)

Still available via my VPN node in India but I don’t know if that actually means anything.

Once I met a group on a 50km trail where a significant other inserted themselves in a “friends trip” but had never hiked more than a few km and had definitely never done multi day backpacking

… It went about as well as you’d think.

We got part of the story from the couple as we checked on them, and the full story when we caught up with the rest of the group a few hours later.

The group said they’d tried to talk the noob out of it multiple times and invited them on multiple short shakedowns but no…

I’m not who you asked but… I’ve never heard much good about jackery and they’re comparatively super expensive. Though, admittedly I haven’t price compared in several years. When I was looking, jackery was still using lipo batteries instead of the lifepo4, while being more expensive, so it was easy to discard them. Surely they’re using the newer chemistries now…

You might check into ecoflow or bluetti.

Edit: I have quite a bit of bluetti stuff and haven’t had any problems except with a folding 220w solar panel that was “free” with a battery purchase. It works, but not remotely close to spec even in ideal circumstances… Might be a reason they were giving them away : )

The batteries/inverters have all done well though the passive drain is significant.

That reminds me…

Step 2: find domains of people/companies you don’t like and set a calendar reminder for when their domain expires so you can be petty and make fun of them with a parody site if they forget to renew.

… Or is that just me?

If you checked for truths then you probably didn’t find much.

By “artificial problem” you mean the problem that they created… Right?

… Right?

I’m going to claim this one wasn’t entirely my fault and should have been coded better… But I ran it.

I ran a script that expected to run from a bin directory, cd/chdir to a input file directory, then do a sed on every file to replace windows line endings to UNIX/Linux line endings. After that it would start loading and processing them.

The problem was, if the directory it tried to change to didn’t exist, it silently continued and ran it on the current directory… You know, the bin directory… With all the compiled C binaries.

So at about 16:30 on a Friday, 30 min before we started our huge weekend builds, I nuked about 70% of the binaries by randomly replacing all bytes that looked like crlf with lf. Turns out binaries didn’t like that.

Good times.

I’ve got 30+ years of fuck ups under my belt so I know to avoid those and create brand new, innovative, fuck ups… You can’t just teach that.

Yes

You’re one of today’s lucky 10,000!

… Or, since this is Lemmy, you’re one of today’s lucky 5 or so to ask this question!

It’s a Lemmy rite of passage, congrats.
