pics?

Physical pain? Zero.

Did you think about this before you wrote it?

emptiestplace ,

How is it obvious?

emptiestplace ,

Wow. Equally confident, equally confused.

The brain processes the information from the nerves.

emptiestplace ,

lol

emptiestplace ,

Motorcycle, actually.

emptiestplace ,

So that's who listens to this garbage...

emptiestplace ,

pathological

I'm afraid this one is already taken, friend.

emptiestplace ,

I understand approximately half of what you wrote, but I see quite a few people upvoted you. Is this what dementia is like?

emptiestplace ,

I actually wasn't being negative, but carry on.

emptiestplace ,

I appreciate them in print, but do not ever want to see them in my terminal.

emptiestplace ,

No idea what held in is, but I live in vim, and ... no ligatures, thanks. Same with italics. Ligatures with fixed-width fonts make no sense. I especially hate the combined arrow symbols: why draw attention to something so unimportant?

emptiestplace ,

While I respect your choice to make things more 'beautiful' in your editor, I do not think we should ever do this by default.

It might seem nice visually, but suddenly we are not seeing things exactly as the compiler does. And as someone who has spent a lot of time helping folks debug their code, I feel quite strongly that this is just further obfuscating an already challenging field - for superficial gains.

emptiestplace ,

You probably need to learn a bit more about VCS fundamentals if you think Subversion would've been fine.

emptiestplace ,

Torvalds didn't create git because he was passionate about version control systems, he created it because the existing solutions were not adequate.

Git is a distributed version control system (DVCS) that facilitated a fundamental shift in how people collaborate on software projects in general. So, comparing it to SVN and downplaying the significance of Git suggests you've kind of missed the point.

Edit: with you on the other thing though - fuck Windows.

emptiestplace ,

You're thinking in terms of a single dev using revision control, but the person you responded to was referring to the higher level aspects of software development that git facilitates. In other words, you've completely missed the point.

As for the Linux kernel, if it hadn't come along, we'd likely be living in FreeBSD-dominated world. Or, perhaps Hurd would've received more attention.

emptiestplace ,

Do you think the existence of the Linux kernel might've had an effect on how Hurd was prioritized? Also, FreeBSD wasn't too far behind, chronologically.

I'm not saying Linux is unimportant (or even less important), but I think some folks here are pretty clueless about the significance of widespread DVCS adoption.

emptiestplace ,

Please calm your shit and focus on feeling embarrassed.

emptiestplace ,

Everyone here is on your side wrt petrochemical companies, you're just being dense af.

emptiestplace ,

It wasn't a good one because that isn't even the right term.

Synonyms. The wikipedia article uses the word 'breaking' many times.

Doesn't really matter, the point stands.

Uhh. First, what point? Second, no, it doesn't.

I'm not gonna chill about innocent people dying for these greedy corporations and you thinking I should is fucking sad.

wtf. Nobody said or implied anything even close to this.

Is this really better for you than just admitting you missed a joke? Wow.

emptiestplace ,

I don't know why this specific thing is so common on Lemmy though, I don't think it happened in reddit.

When you're used to knowing a lot relative to the people around you, learning to listen sometimes becomes optional.

emptiestplace ,

is this good or bad?

How much does it matter what type of harddisk i buy for my server?

Hello, I'm relatively new to self-hosting and recently started using Unraid, which I find fantastic! I'm now considering upgrading my storage capacity by purchasing either an 8TB or 10TB hard drive. I'm exploring both new and used options to find the best deal. However, I've noticed that prices vary based on the specific...

emptiestplace ,

Yeah, you don't want a surveillance drive. They are optimized for continuous writes, not random IO.

It's probably worth familiarizing yourself with the difference between CMR and SMR drives.

If you expect this to keep growing, it might make sense to switch to SAS now - then you can find some really cheap enterprise class drives on ebay that will perform a bit better in this type of configuration. You'd just need a cheap HBA (like a 9211-8i) and a couple breakout cables. You can use SATA drives with a SAS HBA, but not the other way around.

emptiestplace ,

Definitely isn't necessary, but if you search for '3.5" SAS lot' on ebay you might find all the drives you'll need to get to 50TB for the price of a couple new SATA drives.

emptiestplace ,

Sometimes our brains don't work properly. It's ok. You've held yourself accountable. You're a bit more careful now, and so is he. That's enough - it has to be.

emptiestplace ,

wtf, one would be fine

emptiestplace ,

sometimes my brain's just a can opener

emptiestplace ,

It could be the same.

emptiestplace ,

They wouldn't be, they would be sorted by signal strength. I think that's around 40-50% of the joke, though.

emptiestplace ,

Censure is me yelling at you for using the wrong word.

emptiestplace ,

The ambiguity completely kills whatever this might've been.

emptiestplace ,

I love that you're likely getting upvotes from people who are taking you literally.

emptiestplace ,

It's also because they fucking suck at managing complexity. Almost everything they make is fourteen arbitrarily named editions of the exact same bug-riddled trash we know and love. 365/Azure/fuckingentrawhat are barely usable. It's almost like they specialize in UI synchronization bugs - but I remember this being a problem even with Windows 3.1.

I realize this isn't a particularly hot take on Lemmy, but let's not pretend that all software is equally deficient - because there absolutely are better options.

emptiestplace ,

Microsoft's Authenticator app is AWFUL. Just one example - there is a setting to backup to iCloud, but when you try to enable it, it demands you add a secondary (personal) Microsoft account.

emptiestplace ,

This is fucking useless. Please stop.

emptiestplace ,

Let's flip it, then: what about this post is useful?

emptiestplace ,

This community needs moderation. :(

emptiestplace ,

Thank you for sharing your opinion and your brilliant advice on how to be constructive. I especially enjoyed the part where you said I shouted my comment with anger—that was really good!

emptiestplace ,

From the bottom of my tortured soul: fuck Windows.

emptiestplace ,

Have you automated host record creation?

emptiestplace ,

Ah, that would make it easy. I can't use a wildcard with most of my domains, but maybe I could set up subdomains to have this convenience for dev/test sites. Thanks!

I suspect it would be trivial to add a hook to dynamically create (and remove, maybe) DNS records, just haven't tried yet.

emptiestplace ,

Lots of different hosts, multiple load balancers / ingress controllers.

emptiestplace ,

Because of this, or something else?

emptiestplace ,

ty

emptiestplace ,

Can we calendar a meeting to do a deep-dive—I mean, first maybe we can dialogue on whatever your email here is about, but on a go-forward basis, I think... well, just, wouldn't it be great if we were able to solution some shit or whatever?

emptiestplace ,

Oh. Seems this is a pattern.

I definitely don't condone people telling you to kill yourself, but the fact that you are consistently receiving negative responses in an otherwise friendly community should give you pause: you're missing a lot of clues. Unless you enjoy being ostracized like this, it might be time for a bit of serious introspection.

emptiestplace ,

Agreed, this is obnoxious. Release notes are only relevant to folks who are already using the software.

This community seems completely unmoderated.

emptiestplace ,

This is a generalist community. Tell us about the app you are excited about, not its latest update. That's all!

But I shan't bother again.

Sulking isn't super effective here. Unless you are responsible for a bunch of posts like this, you just had bad timing - it's not personal.
