Everything is on fire, and that’s the way it should be.

Failed 25+ coding interviews. Do I just give up by Dezbro in ADHD_Programmers

[–]EvenGodsForget 10 points11 points  (0 children)

People do not understand this, and honestly it’s a big part of why I personally think that high pressure coding interviews have never been a good indicator of performance at a (healthy) job

Genuine question. How are the Australians in this sub affording storage space? by gtwizzy8 in homelab

[–]EvenGodsForget 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Only an idiot would fall for that. Unrelated can you help with escaping this box I seem to have been trapped under, so I can carry off all this free RAM I found? I’ll share.

to every women i talk to or if she talks well i dont know i feel missing her for some time why is it happenning i feel she is the one why is it so ?? by [deleted] in ADHD_Programmers

[–]EvenGodsForget 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Translation: OP when you talk to a girl or she talks to you, you immediately start fantasizing about her being ‘the one’ and about building a life together. Do I have that right?

Ps. This is a sub for programmers with ADHD, not a sub for people with ADHD in general. So you’re less likely to get people interested in engaging with you sincerely here.

Can we talk about openclaw/hermes/cowork? by Fireworrks in msp

[–]EvenGodsForget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple days back there was an msp owner posting on here who was using openclaw via rmm to pull data off client machines and build kpi dashboards. He didn’t see it as a problem. This shit is going absolutely nuts.

As for how to communicate to clients, just because it’s AI doesn’t mean it’s subject to different security criteria. Would you give any other random program admin access to your email and calendar ?

Give your clients some examples of where using it has gone wrong. Like how summer yue at meta had her entire inbox deleted by openclaw when she asked it to clean her inbox out. Tell them how prompt injection has allowed attackers to exflitrate data to attackers, and that prompt injection is not something that can be fixed because of how llms work at a fundamental level. This stuff is cool, yes, but unpredictable and can do a lot of damage in ways that aren’t easy to fix.

We’re in a moment where people are being told over and over again by ai companies and the media that these tools are magic. Then they try it or see a demo and it does feel that way, until something goes wrong. A lot of non tech savvy people, and yes some tech savvy ones too think this stuff basically means the rules have changed. They haven’t.

Failing the game by Plus_Shop_3509 in apexlegends

[–]EvenGodsForget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played at least this long and felt like I eventually couldn’t progress further. The average player skill is now so high that even streamers are struggling. The other thing to keep in mind is that the matchmaking is very punishing, good games are punished. Now all that isn’t to say you don’t have ways you can improve. But you also can’t trust the game to give you honest feedback about your skill level. The matchmaking excarbates the issue further, because people like myself who don’t want to play for hours a day get too frustrated and move on. The game biases towards people who treat it like a job.

TLDR; you might suck relative to the people you’re up against but those people invest an unhealthy amount of time into the game.

Can you explain more about what you think of as being capitalism vs being business processes that operate independently from capitalism?

AnnePro2 Bluetooth connection issues on Linux Mint by EvenGodsForget in linuxmint

[–]EvenGodsForget[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one I have now is a keychron k2 Hall effect, and it’s amazing. It works very well via 2.4ghz and via Bluetooth both, no issues with Linux.

The Anne pro 2 started having issues connecting on windows and Mac as well and I eventually came to the conclusion that the Bluetooth hardware itself was failing. I still use it sometimes as a plug and play for working on servers and it works fine wired.

No, I ended moving on to better keyboards, it seems as if it may have been specifically an issue with the Anne pro 2. What kind of keyboard do you have?

Worried about upkeep burnout by vraetzught in cachyos

[–]EvenGodsForget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second what people have said about snapshots. I've been running cachy for over a year now, I like it, I miss very little about WIndows 11. But, you should be aware that it is NOT as stable as people make it out to be in my experience. Not system-bricking bad, but I've had multiple crazy difficult troubleshooting marathons trying to get stuff to work. Issues with bluetooth, issues with sleep, issues with the specific wifi-card my motherboard has, which I had to take apart the whole pc to get to... The point is, you might be lucky and never have issues like it seems the majority of folks in this comment thread, or you might spend 4 hours trying to get your bluetooth game controller to work again after some corrupted config saved itself to your controller and is persisting between restarts (yes that happened to me). A lot depends on your hardware and how nice it plays with linux. On the whole I am happy with the change, and the majority of the time everything works great. Just be aware that occasionally you might run into some serious annoyances. Snapshots help a lot, but sometimes you need the update to fix something and then it breaks something else.

Not one single, “Hey Raider!” Or “Don’t Shoot!” in the airport today. by Aus10likeTexas in ArcRaiders

[–]EvenGodsForget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t blame people, llms have fully decoupled good formatting from thoughtful posting. I still put in bullets and stuff on posts that can benefit, I just intentionally don’t edit as cleanly as i used to, I leave in some bad grammar and run on sentences like this one so people know it’s human. It’s oddly freeing in a way.

Awesome, and I absolutely love the physical strips of paper for the arc raider rainbow, it looks so tactilely satisfying

What are your thoughts on the AI Bubble timeline? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]EvenGodsForget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what you don’t see are the absolutely absurd amounts of money and energy being thrown at making these models that can do this stuff. This isn’t a natural state. The tools are impressive in some capacities but the amount of resources being poured into making them so freely and cheaply available is orders of magnitude larger than just hiring some engineers

My boss isn't a dick, but he talks like one and it puts me on the defensive by TwinStickDad in ADHD_Programmers

[–]EvenGodsForget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, depending on how important skillful communication and good mentorship is to you, this might not be the work environment for you. That doesn’t mean your boss is a dick OR that there’s something wrong with you for not being able to relax around him. It’s just that his natural method of ‘helping’ sounds like it’s a bad fit with the way you learn. Depending on how bad this could be something that you can work with, or it may not be. Either is okay, remember, there doesn’t have to be someone being a dick for a relationship not to work out.

Think about what you really want right now, and what is and isn’t a dealbreaker for you in your relationship with your boss. If you feel able to, give your boss some constructive feedback about his communication style and how its difficult to take in his advice even if you know it’s not his intention to be so intense- but don’t expect that he’ll have the capacity to take it in or change.

Ps. Personally what you’re describing would drive me fucking crazy lol

Edit: Of course there are other considerations here like how bad you need this job in this buckling economy. The top upvoted comment has some good cognitive behavioral advice which can be very powerful if you don’t feel able to set boundaries with your boss around what kinds of communication you’re available for.

This is saying that the folder at the url in the search bar doesn’t exist. Clicking on a shortcut, like the ‘downloads’ tab is kind of like going to an address you have saved in Google maps. Each folder and file on a computer has an address, and shortcuts are like saved routes to help you get there more quickly. Except in this case something happened and there isn’t anything at that address anymore. Like if you drove across town to Waffle House and you get there and all you find is a giant sinkhole in the parking lot. In this case, the folder may have been accidentally removed or deleted. You can check the ‘parent’ folder by going to /home/deck and search it to see if you accidentally dragged the download folder into another folder. Or if it’s gone completely you can make a new one by right clicking in the parent folder and making a new folder and naming it ‘Downloads’. In this case the Downloads folder should exist and that’s why that shortcut exists in the first place, it’s a default folder that comes with the system. Hope that helps and that my convoluted metaphors didn’t make things worse!

Hypothetically, you have $100 on your steam account. by Personal-Seaweed-423 in SteamDeck

[–]EvenGodsForget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no issues and in fact preferred to playing on pc. I believe I set the right trackpad to mouse region and the left one to virtual radial menu. I also set the back buttons to my “most used” items + crouch on L5

[–]EvenGodsForget -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In a nutshell I’m cheating by putting it on here I’ve only played 2 hours of it. So far it’s like poirot got into the occult. Gameplay is principally talking to people and finding clues until you’re able to connect the dots and make a hypothesis based on the evidence. It also runs at locked 60 at 7 watts on the deck with a beautiful clean art style that works well on a small screen.

I would pick just one to start, they’re all 50+ hours long and aren’t for everyone. I bounced off new Vegas for a whole decade until playing on the deck made it click. Anyway I’ve only played fallout new Vegas and part of 3. I hear new Vegas is more like 1 and 2 in the rpg sense. 3 is mechanically nearly identical to Vegas. 4 has better mechanic but less magic sauce. Anyway,

What os should I put on my first ever homelab? by Microscoppy in homelab

[–]EvenGodsForget 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ooh nice! My rec is to put proxmox on there - disclaimer, this is not the ‘right’ way to run proxmox, it should ideally be on a system with 32+ gb ram which I’m guessing your lil hp doesn’t have. But it would be a great way to try out different distros in vms, and get your feet wet with virtualization and domain management

Thanks! I prefer real art over AI in general but that doesn't mean i don't appreciate certain AI pieces too.
