For mig er det ikke så vigtigt at flippe over til en backup 4G/5G forbindelse, mine web services vil stadig være nede (udenfor lokalnetværk kun takket være hårdt arbejde de sidste par uger). Til nød, som jeg gør nu, så bruger jeg bare hotspot på min telefon. Det kan jeg så selvfølgelig ikke dele med min stationære, men noget er bedre end ingenting.

[2026-02-13] Fri snak fredag

Det er nu anden dag i denne uge at jeg står uden internet. I onsdags varede nedbruddet i 9 timer (9t 4m ifølge min monitoring), så deet...

Det er ikke super fedt når jeg sidder og søger job med en lokalt hosted CV side og samtidig bruger det meste af min tid på at arbejde mod at starte op som konsulent :')

Debian er heller ikke anbefalet til gaming af den årsag. Der er det bedre at bruge nogle af de rolling distros der har de dependencies som nyere drivers kræver out of the box. Men fedt at du fik det til at virke.

We're currently using waste heat in Denmark from data centres (and other industry including power plants, CHP - Combined Heat & Power) in district heating. Heat up the water and pump it down pipes to people's homes.

My home is for example heated up primarily by a cement factory, a CHP plant, and a waste incinerator.

Epstein details scrubbed from Mandelson’s Wikipedia page by shady paid editor— As the then-ambassador came under fire, an anonymous user tried to downplay his history of support for Jeffrey Epstein

Jump

at least unless you look at the actual sources submitted

You can't check the source for information that's entirely been omitted. In any case, never assume Wikipedia provides the full story, or even a condensed and accurate one. What has been mentioned might be correct, but the devil is in what's been left out.

Fun fact, Google was supposed to be named Googol, but the guy who were tasked with ordering the domain name misunderstood. As history would tell, they just decided to stick with Google.

Archive.today CAPTCHA page executes DDoS; Wikipedia considers banning site

Jump

VonReposti @feddit.dk 2d ago

"As quickly as possible" pulls a lot of weight in my statement. Just like when the EU is trying to cut our dependence with US payment providers, Wikipedia can't do it overnight. The best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago, the next best time is right now.

Cutting ties with archive[.]today takes a long time, but the longer the decision to cut it takes, the longer to the ties are actually cut. It's all about "make haste slowly", ie. do a lot of planning on how to actually cut the ties with minimal impact so you can do it when forced to (for example if FBI were to take the servers one day) or when you decide that the independence from archive[.]today is more valuable than the remaining impact of cutting dependence. This could take half a year, a year, or more.

But indecision will at some point put you in a worse position: You are funneling your traffic to a malicious website that actively participates in DDoS attacks by using users' traffic (including those coming from Wikipedia) to carry out the attack. Indecision can open you up to serious litigation and reputational damage by proximity. Given that archive[.]today crossed the line to malicious activity by misusing their traffic, what's to stop them from malicious activity by misusing their content? IMO even if you think the integrity of your content and its sources are too valuable (and trust me, I think it's very valuable) you need to consider this as a warning sign and realise that nothing's stopping archive[.]today from losing the editorial integrity that you rely on.

So my suggestion, brainstorm ideas that would make you independent: Make agreements with IA to improve retention, roll your own archiver, make a deal with news orgs to show their articles as citations (this last one I actually like most the more I think about it. A good negotiator can call it advertising for the news org and you'll at the same time not infringe on copyright like archive[.]today is). If you wait until point of no return, the choice has already been made for you whether you like it or not. And worst part is that you'd scramble to find a solution instead of the best solution.

Archive.today CAPTCHA page executes DDoS; Wikipedia considers banning site

Jump

VonReposti @feddit.dk 2d ago

I don't really see it as a complicated issue. Archive[.]today is now an unreliable source that uses its user traffic to engage in malicious activities. By using it, Wikipedia will become unreliable by proxy.

The best course of action is to distance yourself from it as quickly as possible.

Det bliver så farvel og tak for mig. Jeg har i forvejen aldrig været fan af Discord og startede kun med at bruge det pga. nogle open source projekter. Det må jeg så helt undvære nu.

Jeg tror bare det kunne ende med at virksomheder erkender at det ikke er der værd hvis at de skal opretholde en vis integritet på et niche område i et niche sprog (hvilket jeg synes er at foretrække over en ringe oversættelse).

Ret beset virker det til at vores land og sprog er for lille til at incentivere til at lave bedre oversættelser og det eneste der ville virke er krav som i Norge. Men igen, hvad stopper de forskellige internationalt anerkendte certificeringer i at bare smide bogen igennem en LLM og kalde det en dag?

The Software Quality and Productivity Crisis Executives Won’t Address

Jump

VonReposti @feddit.dk 6d ago

I've burned out on software development and swore to never touch a piece of code again. It's only 5 years since my MSc in ComSci which almost feels pointless by now. I felt like I was screaming into the void when I tried to fix the issues we were creating while we rushed for immovable deadlines dictated by higher ups and gut feelings ignoring the capabilities and competencies of the team. Even my hobby programming took a nose dive and has been sitting untouched for years. Dreams of creating innovative solutions for real problems crushed by the ever increasing weight of ignorance permeating my profession.

I quit my dev job end of December. I had enough. After my resignation I started looking into upskilling myself to project management (yes, my resignation was maybe a bit irrational with no plan) where I feel like I could actually make a difference and be listened to. But even that doesn't seem like a done deal, so my plan A right now is consultancy work where I can recommend, be on to the next client and project in half a year, and never think about the fallout they're causing because they didn't listen to my expertise.

But then I read this article. I have no words for it. Without having decades of history to see what has been and what should be, only the last 5 years of fast track to developer hell, I couldn't put my finger on what exactly was the problem. But every single word of this article speaks to me. It actually gave me the courage to go to my computer and work on a piece of software I have been putting off for 2 years. Like, right now. Maybe we can turn this shitshow around. Or for me it at least gave me enough motivation to put actual work into my startup idea.

I really hope we fix this shit because development and IT was my passion. Ever since I got my first PC it spoke to me. I understood it, it understood me. I really want to reignite that passion and feel the drive to be solve problems. I wish everyone who wants to move the needle good luck, we all need it.

Thanks for listening to my uncensored ramblings, this just hits very close to me.

Det gør sig så slet ikke gældende for IT. Vi læser i engelske bøger, får kun engelske udtryk på tværs af alle fag og 50% af tiden er forelæseren ikke dansk.

Det er måske lidt upopulært, men jeg foretrækker det faktisk sådan for sådan et specialiseret område, det giver out of the box (heh) en god evne for at samarbejde med andre nationaliteter uden at skulle "oversætte" fagtermer.

Derudover, så i specialiserede områder er der meget få ressourcer til at sikre korrekt oversættelse. På mit projektlederkursus så sent som denne uge (som jeg tog på dansk men fremover holder mig til engelsk) så var materialet så dårligt oversat at jeg købte den engelske bog ved siden af for at forstå hvad fanden de egentlig mente. Der var for eksempel oversættelser som "et nyt medlem er på besøg på stedet" (on a site visit).

Så jeg er reelt set bekymret for at i specialiserede felter, hvis vi går hårdt på med at det skal være dansk, så ender vi med ringe og fordyrede oversættelser, hvor man ingen gang kunne forestille sig at en LLM kunne falde så lavt.
