1·4 months agoThere’s also the needy users that create tickets for every prompt, dialog, message, delay… Pretty much anything that could happen at all ever, whether it affects their ability to do their work or not.‘’
This could be weaponized incompetence. “Oh I keep having issues with my computer that interfere with my work, so I can’t work and IT is incompetent and can’t help me, look at all these tickets and how long IT takes. I just can’t get any work done!”
Old version docs tend to offer you a redirect to more recent docs
Sadly, the docs, I’ve worked with (openstack and ansible) frequently, don’t do this. They have a button to go to the latest version of the docs, but not to the equivalent page on the latest version. This means I have to find the equivalent page again, from the integrated search usually.
And yes, a lot can change between versions. New features can get added that solve your problems or older stuff can get removed.

Upstart was better, but even Ubuntu, who was by the creators of upstart (Canonical) decided to switch to systemd after using upstart for a bit?
Edge WebView2
I’m like 90% sure this requires edge to be installed, even though the EU mandated that they make edge uninstallable. So that might be their game here.
https://llamafile.ai (though it’s down for the moment)
https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile
Lot’s of technical details, but essentially the llamafile is a engine + model + web ui, in a single executable file. You just download it and run it and stuff happens.
Around 98-99 here (100 is max for non nitro users),and I’m noticing a significant delay when loading.
I use the browser version of discord in firefox.
2·8 months agopretty much the only character with real, proactive agency in this story is Quirrell
I stopped reading it halfway through, and was too lazy to figure out why.
This explains it.
3·8 months agoDo you have any other book recommendations? Although I dislike the trope of the application of actual scientific knowledge, as characters get very OP very quickly, I love seeing characters using yhe scientific method to figure out what they can or can’t do.
Quantum League
I looked up the book description, and a strong sense of deja vu hit me at the word “actuator”… I think I’ve read this book before.
Currently reading Industrial Strength magic by Macronomicon, and it scratches this itch for me, but waiting for chapter updates, even when daily, is so painful.
Even better to know: the scene was completed before the CRC32 vuln was public. So the scene used real 0day vuln…
Source? After some googling, I can only find that this is a 0day in the matrix universe, but not in the real world at the time the scene was made (matrix reloaded is a 2003 movie, vuln was discovered and patched around 2001.)

No I swear, I was gonna do more than that.
Maybe like, a static site as well. And a backup server. Y’know, things you need openstack for.
*looks away guiltily*
Sometimes whatever you are working with will have outdated or really poor docs, so an advanced internet info aggregator is useful in that sense.
I started learning nix before chatgpt and it was a nightmare. I had to continually ask for help on discord, of all places, for things that should really be in the docs.
Chatgpt makes nix easier, except not really because it’s info is outdated a lot of the time.
where does diagonal fall?
Google put an API into Chrome that sends extra system info but only to*.google.com domains. In every Chromium browser.
Only vivaldi caught this issue. Brave had this api enabled, most likely on accident.
But the problem is, that chromium is just such big and complex software, when combined with development being driven by Google, it’s just impossible for any significant changes or auditing to be done by third parties. Google is capable of exteriting control over Brave, simply by hiding changes like above, or by making massive changes like manifest v3, which are expensive for third parties to maintain.
Brave can maintain 1 big change to chromium, but for how long? What about 2, 3, etc.
My other big problem with brave is that I see them somewhat mimicking Google’s beginnings. Google started out with 3 things: an ad network, a browser, and a search engine.
Right now, Brave has those same three things. It feels very ominous to me, and I would rather not repeat the cycle of enshittification that drove me away from chrome and goolgle.
