The web’s dying. The FSF’s dying. Windows 11 is made out of people. Dont you see? It’s people. They’re making our software out of people. Next thing, they’ll be breeding us like cattle for training data. You’ve gotta tell them. You’ve gotta tell them!

CentOS 3.6

the off-white background and low contrast font color are signs for sure

there are also subtle differences between each usage of a given character (the serif on each “e” and the apostrophes stand out most to me) and inconsistent kerning

when I was but a baby sysadmin, my boss did that to a production server

kkzzt Pick up that coredump.

SCP-1484

… Z

that error is coming from I2P, not nginx

so good news? your nginx configuration is probably fine

bad news? I know fuck all about I2P. assuming you’re intending to reach the “router console”, you could probably follow the suggested configuration change in the error message to Do That Thing

Pokémon Universal Basic Income?!

TIL

that was fascinating in a horrifying sad kind of way

thank you for sharing

brb falling down a rabbit hole of looking up other countries’ … I don’t even know how to typify this. self identity narratives? national copium?

what i’m taking from this is that Polish morality tales basically go “you do anything, you die, probably ironically”

everything that adheres to evolution

viruses? prions? self-optimizing computer programs? societies?

the metabolism that is caused by living beings

scientists have identified a single-celled microbe that lacks all metabolic functions / genetics and outsources that to other bacteria. is it alive?

it’s one latte, michael. what could it cost, $80?

assuming this is on lemmy, if a user is causing that much disruption amd harassing people you could message the admin(s) of the user’s instance explaining the situation, provide evidence, and hope they’ll ban the user

if the user is banned and creates another account, repeat

if the user is on an instance that won’t ban them, contact the admins of other instances to try to have that instance deferated

favorite obscure ship system?

CI/CD! How did I forget CI/CD?

oh right I’m an SRE with Jenkins trauma

fuck groovy

A “full-stack developer” is someone who can do front-end / UI work (HTML, CSS and Javascript or whatever the frameworks and tools de jour are nowadays if we’re talking webdev), back-end work (APIs and “business logic” and all the stuff users don’t see), and often storage and infrastructure work (manage databases, write and optimize SQL queries, put things in buckets, get your code running on AWS / k8s / a pack of gophers / whatever)

that is

someone who wears too many hats and isn’t paid nearly enough by a company that doesn’t want to hire 4 engineers

+1 for ecotanks

we’ve had one for 5+ years, and only refilled the ink once – we don’t print a lot 🙃

and it means way less waste; the tanks hold way more than a cartridge
