Datacenters are going to heat up the us so much. Thats exceptionally bad for the people and environment around them.

Agreed!

Really? Cause im seeing new stuff all the time. Maybe you need to find more things to subscribe to? Piefed hasva ton they give you the option to subscribe to as well as feeds (groups of like communities you can subscribe to).

I had one. It was great.

Looks neat! https://www.heyvictorfrost.com/workshop/Community_hub_V1

Filters make the fediverse so much nicer :)

I might have to make a couple more after all of this.

Theres a couple people I saw recently that went though the process of getting another job.

One was network engineer, he was snatched up really quick (less than a week looking). Another was a software developer and had a harder time (something around a month from what they told me in the meetup).

Both were remote.

I know it kinda sucks…but there are still jobs out there. They are just not in the MAANGA world ATM. I personally think those companies are trying to get beyond having staff as much as possible (which is silly).

I have the same ipod for the last 10 years. My ebook reader is from 12+ years ago. I see young people buying vynals for some reason.

When everything is an app to be streamed, physical goods seem to have an appeal.

Ed when i need to get into a server and i have no clue whats running.

Nano when i know whats running and i cant install things.

Vim when i can install things.

At wprk we use vscode wnd jetbrains products but they are omly ok. I still like vim more.

Yep! Ive used things that work perfectly for years in COBOL. It mostly doesnt matter what a thing is made out of unless I have to look under the hood and fix something.

Rust is fine. Its not revolutionary though its just another language. I made some cool one offs with it. But its everything else thats an issue.

We had things break at work because of rust-coreutils. I dont particularly care that its made in rust. It just needs to be stable and compatible.

However, the project is not 100% compatible with GNU coreutils. Putting aside the licensing issues, if it cant do what it says on the tin, then it should be on experimental linux distros not our most popular distros.

But this is linux/FOSS so people will do what they want. It means I wont use Mint, but its also ok for Mint to decide this. GL! hope everything works out either way.

oh nice, maybe ill give it a shot.

I did the same. Thres even a tool that lets you pull everything from github real easy.

Once PR/issue federation works…its going to be SOL for GitHub. Or just a slow decline.

Yeah work is thinking of switching.

Its decent…but VERY hard to set up. At least at the moment.

Ive played around and contributed a tiny bit over the last couple of years. You basically set it up piecemeal and then you have an actual decentralized server/client setup on a number of devices. Phones, lora, etc… can all work with it.

Ive sent myself some pictures/voice/internet packets via two heltek v3 at one point using nothing but the system and a laptop not connected to the internet. It does what is says on the tin.

But it took quite a bit of time and effort to get there. And while it was neat, no one else is really using it and things go down all the time. So I moved on to “easier” projects like meshtastic/core.

Tor/onion is MUCH easier than using reticulum but also is dependent on quite a number of internet nodes all being up and doing their thing. reticulum can run on the equivalent of 1W (or less) helteks.

What is meshbrowser? Ive done work with reticulum but never heard of MeshBrowser?

I maintain a library that is used quite a bit and I had to turn off github issues because AI bots are trying to push reporting security vulns…in a library that has no dependencies. Or AI that is setup to waste time by asking pointless questions that do not pertain to the library. The library is literally two files. Technically 3 if you include the tests.

I moved my library over to codeberg recently. So much better of an experience. Its really too bad, I have 15+ years in Github but the AI bots are going to push me out.

Nice!

Both seem like good machines :).

It also does some niceties around fonts when you do a conversion. Some ebook readers dont come with specific fonts so they just use the inbuilt one(s).
