Similar to others, maybe 2 or 3 years old. I was “helping” (probably hindering) my mum paint my bedroom. I distinctly remember waving the paint roller around.

Programming@programming.dev•Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030 - Plans move to Rust, with help from AI
18·25 days agoI have witnessed companies make this exact mistake before - they have a legacy system written in $LanguageA that they either cannot find developers to maintain, believe is badly written, or does not support some new feature they want to implement (or some combination of the three) - and decide to solve this by taking the existing codebase and porting/transpiling it to $LanguageB (which is more modern, performant, is easy to hire developers for, etc) - without actually rewriting or rearchitecting anything.
What they are actually doing is substituting one kind of tech debt for another. The existing code that was poorly written and/or not well understood is now just bad code written in a different language. Fixing bugs or implementing new features now takes just as long, if not longer to account for the idiosyncrasies of how the code was ported.
And now this is being done by AI with even less oversight than usual? Recipe for a maintenance disaster.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What the heck is this stain by my window?
1·4 months agoAs others have said, 100% a leak.
I would advise to stand on a chair or stepladder underneath the ceiling and check to see if it is still level. If you see an obvious deformation around the stain, this will be being caused by water pooling on top of the ceiling plasterboard. In which case, once the leak is sorted, you will likely need to drain the pooled water, cut out the damaged section, replace it, then replaster and repaint.
We had exactly the same issue in our last house. It was in a difficult to see spot hidden behind our kitchen cabinets. We only realised the severity of the issue when the ceiling boards gave way and fell on my head.

Linux@programming.dev•Linux has over 6% of the desktop market? Yes, you read that right - here's how
9·6 months agoI’ve switched both my laptop and desktop over to Linux (Bazzite and Fedora respectively) in the last 6 months.
The last time I tried to daily Linux (over a decade ago) I ended up switching back eventually, but this time I really don’t think I’ll need to. All of the games I play most often work perfectly, the dev tooling is even better than it is on Windows, and the hardware compatibility side has been completely flawless.
Gone are the days of having to hunt down obscure Linux drivers for your touchpad or webcam. Everything just works out of the box.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Those of you that back your vehicle into parking spots, why do you do it?
2·8 months agoBecause, unless you’re driving a forklift, the point of a vehicle’s rotation is in line with the rear wheels, meaning you can take turns at a much more acute angle when reversing than going forwards. Which makes backing into spaces much easier.
Notice that most of the half-assed parking jobs you see are generally people who have driven forward and left the car parked at a diagonal half out of the space, because getting the vehicle lined up in that situation is more difficult.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How to secure Jellyfin hosted over the internet?English
3·10 months agoRight now none of the native clients support SSO. It is a frequently requested feature but, unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it will be implemented any time soon. As with many OSS projects it is probably a case of “you want it, you build it” - but nobody has actually stepped up.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How to secure Jellyfin hosted over the internet?English
29·10 months agoFor web access, stick it behind a reverse proxy and use something like Authentik/Authelia/SSO provider of your choice to secure it.
For full access including native clients, set up a VPN.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self hosted solution for phone photo backupEnglish
0·1 year agoAs a developer myself I’m not sure if I would trust any application to safely handle a configuration that has become invalid due to a breaking change, especially not an app that is still under active development! Better safe than sorry.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self hosted solution for phone photo backupEnglish
0·1 year agoImmich has completely replaced Google Photos for me, love it!
My only bugbear is that it is updated very frequently (what a nice problem to have!) which in my case requires a manual once-over of my docker-compose file every time in case there are breaking changes.

politics @lemmy.world•Auto industry’s shift toward EVs is expected to go on despite Trump threat to kill tax credits
4·1 year agoHow often do you need to travel the entire range your car allows?
If you do need to drop everything and drive across country in an EV, you should be stopping at service stations to do short fast charge sessions anyway, as with modern fast chargers and battery tech you will typically go from something like 30% SoC to say 70% in only a few minutes. This saves a lot of time on longer trips.
If you are driving an EV by depleting the battery completely and then charging it back to 100% every time, you are doing it wrong.



You are assuming that they have a personality to begin with.
