my motivation to do just about anything in tech today is completely gone.

what's the point if it all ends up being AI crap anyway.

Wer hat denn hier letztens noch über Kino-Informationen gerantet? War das @scy?

Glaube nicht ganz das worum's ging, aber ein Schritt in die richtige Richtung.

You know that feeling of dread when you've made a bad decision that you'll have to follow up on soon and that's gonna be really fucking horrible?

I signed up to walk 100km within 24 hours next Saturday/Sunday. Because I am a fucking idiot.

That Jack Dorsey interview is mostly just a sign that he's not really a serious thinker.

@tante why anyone would still listen to him is beyond me.

View from the other side. The letters of "MUSEU DE LES CIENCIES" now from the back.

I’m doing a 150km, two-transfer bike & train trip. I’m half way in, AMA.

First one is a freebie: the first and last ~10km of each end of the trip are not covered by busses in any useful fashion and I didn’t wanna rely on cabs or other cars, that’s why I’m taking the bike.

@janl nice bike!

No matter how often I turn it off in the settings, YouTube turns "Video previews will play when you hover over thumbnails” back on after a couple of hours.

Allowing autoplay without explicitly pressing a button was a mistake.

Nothing life-threatening. Potentially fractured finger, I'll be fine. If only getting the x-ray done wouldn't take ages...

Worst thing about the injury?
I barely played 2 minutes of the game. And I got a yellow card for the foul!

Trying to wrap my head around how io_uring rust bindings work, and current status is I'm not convinced they do? Which means I'm missing something, probably/hopefully.

io_uring's entire deal is shared memory with careful (but unchecked) handoff of ownership between userspace and the kernel. That means that the contents of pointed-to memory changes without compiler involvement, and... not sure how/why that ends up sound.

jer,
@jer@hachyderm.io avatar

@danderson it's ... hard.
withoutboats looked at it a while ago: https://without.boats/blog/io-uring/

Tokio's implementation defers it to the user (doing stuff requires unsafe)

jer,
@jer@hachyderm.io avatar

@danderson I only have a very high-level understanding of uring, so can't really comment either on the current implementations or your ideas.
But I am glad someone is thinking about it!

Cool, so meetup.com is raising prices (again).
The reasoning? More features, including:

ffs, I don't care about your AI bullshit and I don't want to spend money on you paying OpenAI for this crap.

Notably my subscription jumps from 35$ to 85$ (for 6 months). More than double!

Fuck you. I might just pull berline.rs. We have our own website.

@jer@hachyderm.io avatar

ok, after all that #redis kerfuffle let's have some fun:

Who built a Redis-like cache/data store/database (maybe protocol compatible?) for fun or shit-posting?
May that be in bash, awk, storing data in DNS, ...
Share your silly project!

There goes Redis:

https://redis.com/blog/redis-adopts-dual-source-available-licensing/

This is such a mess, it is hard not to feel angry.

Briefly - the cloud providers are definitely a huge issue. They are the vampires of the software community and the root cause of many of our problems.

But redis didn't go against them. They went against the community that made them grow. Same like Mongo, Neo4j.

And as @jenniferplusplus said - don't sign CLAs. They are a big part that let moves like these happen.

jer,
@jer@hachyderm.io avatar

@chrisg @dragnucs @jenniferplusplus I should stop posting :D

I haven't used Redis in production in like 6 years, so I'm not the best person to say anything about alternatives.
