  • "Microslop" trends in backlash to Microsoft's AI obsession

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

  • Cool bug rule

  • 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.

  • Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030 - Plans move to Rust, with help from AI

    Jump

  • I 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.

  • Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark

    Jump

  • Personally any game that requires a rootkit in order to play is not a game I'm interested in, from either a gameplay or a security point of view.

  • What the heck is this stain by my window?

    Jump

  • As 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 has over 6% of the desktop market? Yes, you read that right - here's how

    Jump

  • I'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.

  • Those of you that back your vehicle into parking spots, why do you do it?

    Jump

  • Because, 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.

  • Amid its worst ever crisis, Tesla offers discounts on its best-selling car just weeks after new Model Y launch

    Jump

  • The main issue was a catastrophic failure of the VC_FRONT module which is one of the critical onboard computers that manages things like the 12v battery and low voltage power distribution (basically a "smart" fuse box). Without it the car is bricked and cannot be driven.

    That took several weeks and some back and forth around the extended warranty to resolve, and then even after that module was replaced, on my first drive after the repair it went straight into limp mode and then spent another week at the service centre having that diagnosed.

    During this time I decided it might be time to start looking for a new car, ended up selling it a few months later and took delivery of a new Polestar 2.

  • Amid its worst ever crisis, Tesla offers discounts on its best-selling car just weeks after new Model Y launch

    Jump

  • I'm not sure why anyone expected a new facelift would improve sales. It's clear the overall decline is associated with Musk going full mask-off fascist, given this, driving around in a car that looks unlike any previous Model Y just makes it completely obvious that you knew this and decided to buy one anyway. If they want to bolster sales, maybe they should have kept producing the pre-facelifted versions for a while.

    Full disclosure, I used to own a Model 3. I had it for 5 years and was generally very happy with it - it was a great daily driver, cost very little to run and maintain, and (aside from a few issues later in my ownership, which was one of the reasons I decided to sell it) in general it was very easy to live with.

    There are clearly some very skilled engineers at Tesla who know how to build a great product. It is a shame their efforts are being undermined by a fascist lunatic with a narcissist complex.

  • Well, I'm currently writing a service and frontend, both in C# (Blazor for the UI), and using docker-compose to build and deploy them to a Raspberry Pi running Linux. So not only cross-platform, but cross-architecture as well.

    This is not a new thing either. Since .NET Core was released almost 10 years ago, it has supported cross platform development.

  • How to secure Jellyfin hosted over the internet?

    Jump

  • Right 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.

  • How to secure Jellyfin hosted over the internet?

    Jump

  • For 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.
