Ich habe mich mal an einem selbstgebauten Flugdrachen 🪁 probiert, Typ “Eddy”.
Eddy ist wohl bekannt, zumindest läuft meine Filterblase über von ihm.
Die Flugeigenschaften werden in den nächsten (trockenen) Tagen ergründet. Einen kleinen Flugdrachenschwanz hat er auch schon.

↳ In-reply-to » @lyse There was an actual fire: The building was evacuated and I saw a burnt-down trash container. Sounds harmless, but these containers are inside of our building. (Because …) So this was an actual, real danger. Not as bad as some appartment being on fire, of course, but still. When I left my appartment, I could smell it and I just thought: “Yep. This is it.” 😐

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh shit! Well, I’m glad it was detected and put out quickly.

👋 Just a friendly reminder that if I don’t actually see any “use in anger” of this little container service I call cas.run – Then I can’t actually see how it will behave, perform and whether or not something like this will even remotely work and is worth continuing ot build out 😅 Please 🙏 and thank you 🙇‍♂️

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, I need to switch to something like restic or borg. And probably a big storage server at a hoster like Hetzner. 🤔

I do have several layers of backups already, even offsite ones, but it requires me carrying external HDDs around. That used to be acceptable for me (or maybe I was just being naive). But now I’m living in a 20-story building and there are SO MANY IDIOTS in close proximity who might fuck shit up … Fire is a real threat.

There just was a fire alarm.

Again.

I didn’t expect this to happen so often. My strategy for making backups of my data isn’t good enough. The risk of all this shit actually burning down is real.

↳ In-reply-to » 👋 Introducing (after a 3yr hiatic where the project actually begin in ~2023+); cas.run: give it a container image and it runs it on the web at its own hostname. This is an alpha service at the moment, so; every account gets one service, 64 MB of memory and a gigabyte of disk space. You can purchase more units at a $1/month (AUD), so it's like $0.70 USD I think. Don't use this for anything big please (not yet_), the infra behind it runs on a single host in Sydney right now. https://cas.run

TL;DR: $1/month hosting or whatever you want to run 🏃

↳ In-reply-to » @itsericwoodward Good context and info thank you 🙏 Obviously I'm into self hosting too, d'uh, but it's just an interesting experiment and price point. It isn't about whether you can get xyz VM/VPS for $abc but more about all the times you don't have to maintain or build yourself.

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com So I can think of a number of services that can run in this memory “pool”. It’s not a limit, just a default “unit size”. yarnd, saltyd, any static web hosting, etc. There’a a non-zero no. of things that will consume very little memory.

↳ In-reply-to » @lyse Im Handarbeitsladen wurde mir das Schulkinder-Starterpaket empfohlen. Die Häkelnadel ist 8 mm stark. Das Garn dementsprechend auch - jedoch sehr luftig.

Müsste ja eine ganze Weile gedauert haben, wenn ich mich sehr wage an die Schulzeit zurückerinner, als ich das letzte Mal gehäkelt habe. Also nicht nur Luft-, sondern richtig mit Kettmaschen.

Since honesty is kindness, Microsoft is by far the worst company I ever had the displeasure of trying to communicate with. Getting them to fix the most basic of bugs always took years. In some cases it’s been over two and a half decades and it’s still broken.

I never thought it was even possible to make an operating system so broken, I’d have to manually restart my background services and set “network interface metrics” by hand, in advanced TCP/IP settings, while using it.

There are buttons that don’t even do anything when clicked and ones I’ve never seen do anything other than throw an error message.

The AI they rent to pretend to be an AI company, was for years outputting paragraphs, describing the beautiful and artful checkerboard pattern in the background, whenever trying to analyze transparent images. Transparent profile pictures work only on GitHub, the one product where the implementation was done prior to Microsoft acquisition.

Many engineers in their own forums, still manage to make that very AI sound smart, in comparison.

The design is an absolute shitshow, where no two things look like they belong in the same system — the only thing almost consistent, is excessive padding and rounded corners, placed wherever they fit the least.

But hey, 5000 engineers were fired, that will surely improve things!

↳ In-reply-to » Q: Would you pay $2 AUD / $1.40 USD per month for a micro container service that let you run up to 3 containers with up to 64MB of memory per container, shared CPU and nVME backed Disk? 🤔 Then $1 SUD $0.70 USD / month per additional 64MB slot/slice? 🤔 -- Assuming you can also run smaller containers where cost per container linearly scales, so $0.50 / $0.35 for 32MB containers.

@kamme@twtxt.thanatos.be herbstluftwm! I haven’t had much luck with netbsd (skill issues). I had given it a try in a VM, ~4 years ago, and managed to brick it in less than a week xD The sad thing though, was deleting the VM. missing out on an opportunity to boot in single user mode and try fixing my mess.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The vast majority, yes. However, I know it’s hard to believe, I have seen black sheep that actually improved the code base. Sometimes. Much more often, it’s not the case and I’m far from really understanding the merge request that I’m supposed to review.

One really looses the feeling for the software quickly. Those who think this is a bad thing are in the minority, unsurprisingly.

In the age of AI, PR reviews at work only serve these purposes:

  • A PR makes me vaguely aware that something exists. Like, I now know that there’s a component over here that probably does something with this other component over there. Maybe.
  • I can “gauge the risk”: Is this something that I can simply throw away once it breaks? If not, I’ll have to bite the bullet and start a more detailed discussion about what the flying fuck your 8000 new lines of code actually do. And then you’ll pull the “but I don’t have time for this discussion”-card and we merge anyway.
  • Shift the blame from author to reviewer: “It passed review! The builds were green!”
  • I don’t need pills anymore to raise my low blood pressure.

It’s so disheartening to see everyone vomit out bullshit. “You can use AI responsibly and actually make the code better”, my ass. Nobody does that. Not a single soul. No human. Ever. None. Nobody.
