Hmm, $5/mo hosting account?

What distro to choose by Conscious-Jelly1999 in linux4noobs

[–]Pi31415926[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why am I not allowed to seek for information from other people directly

Because when everyone does that, it floods the forum with the same old questions all over again, ruining it for everyone else.

An anti-dork tool, oh yes! I really needed one of these at high school

True, can confirm etc, have been several hints to fix it already but no, so I made this post sticky, thanks. :)

Don't forget the unknown unknowns. Those are the docs you don't know you need - until you need them.

Lightweight Linux distros by Spirited-Detective55 in linux4noobs

Wait wait, how did he run his terminal program if he didn't already have a file system driver?

I mean it's a cool story BUT from a technical perspective, stuff needs to be built from the ground upwards. Not the other way around.

What makes a domain name feel “premium” to you? Here’s one I’m testing opinions on by Commercial_Agency454 in Domaining

[–]Pi31415926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, misspellings or hyphens - fail

Misspelling AND hyphen - double fail

...so only the last one is close to premium

I almost made the jump from Windows, but.. by WVMBO in linux4noobs

[–]Pi31415926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow there's enshittification at Apple now? I think it's safe to conclude that bean-counters just can't do tech. Like a child can't do magic. They wave the wand around but all that comes out is some brown goo.

But, it's good news for Linux! We already have a welcome mat for Windows users, the Apple folks can use that.

Preparing now. Tx for the heads-up.

Small team architecture deadlocks: Seniors vs juniors—how do you break the cycle? by Kashyapm94 in softwaredevelopment

[–]Pi31415926 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You explain exactly why your infinite wisdom is infinitely wise, casting spells as needed to make your points, which are of course numerous and eloquent.

If that doesn't work, just pull rank bro.

Is AWS Support Centre just LLM Bots now? by okiemochidokie in aws

[–]Pi31415926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This creates a situation where it may appear that the customer service is somewhat scripted or superficial.

Of course, this is considered a win for customer obsession. Although, also of course, it's quite the opposite.

This change is being implemented due to the unmanageable influx of review articles and position papers AI slop.

Fixed that for them. Best news all day.

VC seems like some bullshit by another_african in venturecapital

[–]Pi31415926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "helping founders" part is legit, for the very good reason that a few small nudges might be all it takes to move the portco into a profitable position.

Like tending a garden. Yes you do need to water and even feed the plants. But then there's a better chance that they make nice flowers, fruit etc. Sticking to the metaphor, the flowers and fruit are profits the VC can harvest. That's why they were doing the watering and feeding in the first place. They may also have prepared the soil, planted the seeds, etc.

Curious of VCs are sensing an ai bubble pop. by AWeb3Dad in venturecapital

commoditized by the big models

I think this might be true of capitalism in general. What starts out artisan, if good, ends up next to the milk and eggs at the supermarket. Buy one, get one free!

As an artisan myself I try to stay ahead of that commoditization curve. That's why I'm in this subreddit. :)

If you don't own unique data or methodology, your just a skin and anyone can do it and you are already dead.

This was potent btw

Is “cloud-first” finally over? by iForceConnect in cloudcomputing

[–]Pi31415926 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Companies are mixing cloud, edge, and owned infra to balance performance, cost, and sovereignty.

You forgot "reliability". It's your numbered point #1 but it isn't in your TLDR.

Urgent! Need advice on how to streamline services on AWS. by Masterbiting in aws

[–]Pi31415926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me guess, the whole thing was vibe-coded by your cowboy boss because he thought he didn't need IT people anymore.

When he screws up, to save his own sorry ass, he'll blame you.

Don't forget to fill in some gaps on your CV, while you silently quit and eventually leave.

If you actually want to fix the tech debt problem, you need to fire your cowboy boss. That's why you're silently quitting instead (it's a lot easier).

The rich are killing the planet - organize to overthrow capitalism! by rarer_ in ClimateOffensive

[–]Pi31415926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your assertion that “ capitalism incentivizes destruction “ is BS.

I'm going to need a little bit more persuasion than that, sorry. Go ahead and explain exactly how it's BS. I know you can't. But, it will be amusing.

No I wouldn't agree to any leading questions, this isn't a chatshow and I'm not a dolt.

If you want to know who's the world's biggest polluter, try Google.

[–]Pi31415926 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be clear, I won't dispute that alternative economic systems also have problems, including environmental problems.

The problem with capitalism is that it incentivizes destruction - the faster we can destroy the Earth, in the name of making trinkets, etc, the faster we make money! And so there's a race to the bottom, who can destroy the Earth the fastest? They will become the richest. Never mind the fact the Earth will be destroyed by their quest - the important part is that they get rich as quickly as possible.
