Unexpectedly wholesome ending, but holy shit I'm exhausted just reading that

You misunderstood. I'm not talking about scaling the DB horizontally, I'm talking about scaling the application using the DB horizontally.

The fucked up part isn't that AI work is replacing human work, it's that we're at a place as a society where this is a problem.

More automation and less humans working should be a good thing, not something to fear.

Meh, I pay for YouTube Premium since it's included in YouTube Music, and I feel good knowing that creators I watch get more from me than they would if I enabled ads just on their channels.

Please teach me how to configure my containers so SQLite can scale horizontally.

If you don't care about persistence, why are you even using a DB in the first place?

I'm a devops engineer, so I understand Linux well. I actually used exclusively Linux all throughout university.

Linux works just as good as windows for 98% of my uses cases. And for the 2% that it doesnt, I can probably figure out how to get it to work or an alternative.

But honestly, I usually just don't want to anymore. After working 8 hours, I'm very seldom in the mood to do more debugging, so I switch to Windows more and more frequently.

If this is my experience as someone who understands it, most normies will just fuck off the moment the first program they want to run doesn't.

In a world of containers and stateless applications, fuck SQLite.

Doomers gonna doomer

I'm on Kubernetes with ArgoCD gitops.

I use sealedsecrets, so all my secrets are in git encrypted. The encryption key is in my keepass vault.

Go and Python :D

PHP and NodeJS D:

This meme is fucking amazing and I hate that I can't share it with my normies friends

If you set up a torrent for them, I'll be happy to perma-seed them from my gigabit dedicated server

I played WoW religiously from vanilla until Legion with very few breaks. I think I had over 3 years in game time on my main when I quit, with a few more years spread between alts.

Next would be Path of Exile, 3000 hours and counting.

After that, probably Dota 2 at 1200 hours

I swear sometimes it feels like capitalism is the boogeyman behind everything with some people.

This has nothing to do with late stage capitalism and everything to do with how cheap compute is becoming. Fact is that it's just much more convenient to have everything in a managed cloud. You don't need to manage your own servers, take care of maintenance, upgrades, etc. This removes a fuckton of overhead from your organization.

I've been part of on prem to cloud transitions at 3 different companies, and I saw the benefits firsthand. You can replace entire departments, and the contract your signing means you're protected against pretty much any fuckup from the provider's side.

Not to mention, I guarantee Microsoft's cloud is more secure than 99.9% of the server rooms it replaced.

You think I remember shit about differential equations or calc 3?

What a surprise, the claims were overblown. Glad to hear I can stock up on my Pepsi Zero again, since 1-2 cans a day won't kill me

RIP gfycat on September 1st

Same. I played a lot of WoW. I was a US top 5 raider in MoP/WoD. I wrote guides on icy-veins and WoWHead.

Then even though I quit at the start of Legion, I've stuck around in the community and occasionally still post/contribute, but it's getting rarer and rarer the more the game moves on without me.

One of these days, I plan to build up a neat blog with some static site generator like Nikola. Or maybe host documentation about everything I do with bookstack or wiki.js.

For now, it just redirects to a rickroll.
