+1000. one of my coworkers keeps thinking he’s saving time with AI-generated code but what he’s really doing is pushing the thinking downstream when we have to pick apart the absolute garbage that gets generated.

PR feedback gets turned into AI prompts and the cycle continues. It’s exhausting

“Don’t touch working code” stems from “last person who touched it, owns it” and there’s some shit that it’s just not worth your pay grade to own.

Particularly if you’re a contractor employed to work on something specific

I will forever recognize the Baar Sophia font from the fansubs of Naruto which got me into anime in the first place

Ahh good ol’ Aegisub. I have great memories of subtitling anime in my late teens before I got a girlfriend and the fansub scene died when Crunchyroll took over.

I was also one of the people helping test Aegisub on Linux (2009-ish), I wasn’t a programmer at the time but I remember a dude called ‘verm’ in the IRC channel who did a bunch of work to make Aegisub stable on Linux. He taught me the difference between little endian and big endian, I guess he was bored that day

Managers love yes-men so the more biased the better

Proxmox requires subtracting 50 from the MTU so it can store it’s vxlan information in the packet.

From the docs:

Because VXLAN encapsulation uses 50 bytes, the MTU needs to be 50 bytes lower than the outgoing physical interface.

It’s super annoying but I couldn’t see another way of having vms be able to talk to each other transparently regardless of which node they are on

I just attached the host NIC to OPNSense and then have a vxlan in proxmox to make the VM network separate from the rest of my home network. Both the host NIC and the vxlan virtual NIC are attached to the VM.

The OPNsense VM acts as a router between the two networks. I host all my shit on the VM network under *.internal.legit.tld and use LetsEncrypt + Traefik to issue SSL certs which work without having to load a CA cert everywhere because I own legit.tld

The only bastard was having to adjust the MTU everywhere within the VM network, that caught me out a couple of times

Reminds me of the the sexydancingladies skit from Viva la Dirt League

What’s currently being marketed as AI reinforces that there’s always someone who can do your job worse for cheaper

I’m just waiting for the “cheaper” part to change. Surely these VC’s will want to see some ROI on the stupid amount of money these hosted models cost. There’s no way the subscription fees being charged cover the actual cost of running the models, so something will have to give eventually

Nvidia on modern Linux (Wayland) is garbage and I’m buying AMD next time.

Like seriously, people will try and tell you “oh you can install the proprietary driver easily now and they’ve come a long way”

Sure, but it’s still garbage. I can’t even full screen a video in Firefox without a it crashing and a bunch of apps simply refuse to work without shitty environment variable hacks to drop back to software rendering

I’m not a noob either, I’ve been using Linux as my primary OS since 2008

Nah win2k pro was really, really slow compared to xp

I can afford neither, but if I had to save up for one it would be the BYD.

American cars are just large, stupid and inefficient. Also the parts are very expensive here in New Zealand

I can make up numbers too!
