I mean yeah, I selfhost everything, but I hate that i have to learn and support the most useless shit ever just to earn a living.

It used to be fun being a dev, now I'm just repeating the same warning phrases about technologies.

I'm losing my will to live lately at an alarming rate.

I used to love IT, way back at the start of 00s.

Soon after the 10s started, I noticed bullshit trends replacing one another... like crypto or clouds or SaaS... but now with the AI I just feel alienated. Like we're just all going to hell, and I hate the first row seating.

You can get rid of every rich person in existence, and still not be free from the system.

The problem is the system itself.

Fuck the rich, but fuck the system harder.

So we are moving away from >1GB node_modules finally? Or is it too soon?

GalapagOS

I got used to not owning their games.

Another day, another LLMentalist link

Every container package delivery system will have issues with access - be it filesystem, other processes, whathaveyou.

Which is not an issue you want beginners to face.

Which is why I suggest Mint - which does not use snap by default at all. It just goes down much easier.

No snap by default is on its own a huge difference. Far from window dressing.

If you give a new user snaps, many things will not work as they expect, and that is not a hurdle beginners should have to pass.

Nobody cares about kernel, I don't even know anyone who builds their own (I use Gentoo btw), they either go bleed, or stable, nothing in between.

But package delivery matters a lot.

Because he is getting blamed all the time, no one is defending that piece of shit. He has been a thorn in everybodys side for very long.

Musk, on the other hand, is still seen as a genious hero by some people.

Yes, I hate it.

Use Mint - it works better than Ubuntu, Canonical has made enough 'mistakes' to get on the blacklist.

Just self-host it? It's open-source, that will last you a lifetime.

That sounds great, let me know how it works for you.

I'm not sure if this is satire, because if yes, well played, if not, Fuck That.

It's that time again... for LLMentalist.

Seriously, it should be linked to every mention of LLM anywhere.

It's voice and video calling with chat and screensharing. I intend to use it for a language school. It's extendable, for instance you can also self-host a whiteboard, where everyone can draw. You can see the drawing in real time, which is good for asian languages, where direction of the stroke is important.

Free, open-source, packaged in Debian, runs without issues, used it with friends for multi-hour voice chats during gaming nights.

On the server you can configure things like FPS for screenshare. I have yet to adjust that and try streaming video/game through it.

Way too few mentions of Jitsi.

I use it with friends, it has good server config, and I'm pushing it on businesses.

It's from a game called Dwarf Fortress - where you play in a simulated world trying to keep your dwarves alive.

They get bored of eating the same food, so with farming and hunting there's also fishing.

In the past, carps were added with some default settings, which made them overpowered. They would wipe entire squads of Dwarves that would approach any body of water with a carp in them.

(They were nerfed later on.)

The game has a very complex fighting system, so when creatures fight, sometimes they fall down, after a big hit with a hammer, or getting knocked unconscious. If they are not fatally wounded, they will get back up. There's a lot of actions that happen inside the game, but not always in the 'correct' context, as the game is still in development.

And somewhere on the internet, there was a screenshot with combat log showing:

The Carp attacks the Miner but She jumps away! The Carp stands up.

So carps were already a challenge, and then you read they can stand up!? Imagine the terror of an army of strong beasts marching down to your fort from a nearby river.

There were many bugs in the game, if you like rabbitholes, this is a good one.
