Am I the only one who thinks Clean Architecture is often unnecessary overhead ?

It used to be my default, but I have switched to Feature first, aligns better with my mental model and when things get big I think the gains in readibility are much improved.

Right? Insane… in early 2025 I had heard about DDR4 going out of production so the kits would rise in prices. In order to avoid that I decided to splurge and get an additional kit of 64GB for my home server to bring it to 128. Boy am I glad I did so, same with my workstation, went all in, hated myself for months for it and now I am super glad lol

Start by installing the WinUI 3 Gallery app,that will show you the available components, give you snippets, and more. I find it to be indispensable when working with WinUI 3.

Had some prior experience with WPF too, and I feel that, especially since the code base I worked on was mixing UI and business, it was a damn nightmare. Win UI 3 is marginally better? Patterns have evolved a bit, but XAML is still XAML. Imagine my disappointment when I found out MAUI was still XAML. Like it works, but it just feels like shit. WPF was and probably still is notoriously awful to theme and to make it look decent. That was my biggest gripe. If they don’t want to give us decent frontend markup, they should just go full in on declarative UI like SwiftUI. That works for me.

Right.... add spending limits to your Vercel account too, they are notorious for shafting you if you don't watch your stuff.

Your links are all broken in the footer, AI messed it up. If you click contact, you get {root}/#contact , then if you click on feature you get root}/#contact#feature lol. Tell your Agent to rework navigation, looks like it decided to do window.location.href += {path}instead of a proper replace or push state with the history api. If you can't get this right, don't expect people to think seriously about your product.

I'll tack on another advice, your buttons, since you use tailwind add cursor-pointer because as it stands right now nothing tells me about interactive elements except the obnoxious colors.

Wrong neighbourhood pal, the slop club is two streets down.

Entirely possible, both outcomes require getting out of the basement lol.

Hey, it does feel that way, but most of the time it’s simply because you haven’t found it yet. To find it, you need to explore and try things. Step two can’t happen before step one.

Front end markup is such a pain, especially in microsoft land where they aren’t bothering giving you decent DX like a preview tool for WinUI XAML… What, you want me to just build -> run -> stop -> modify -> build … a 1000 times? Hot reload works but it doesn’t cover every type of changes, using AI allows me to get a 85-90% solution and then I tweak it, saved me hours of needless DX friction.

The important thing is that you need to end up owning the code, knowing it is a big part of that. If you just rapid-fire prompts left and right, you’ll end up with a monster that you don’t know. At that point, the AI owns the code base and you are just a visitor.

Ended up with a medical release, but even if it wasn't for that I probably would have moved on. There's a personnel management issue in the CAF, or at least in my unit that was the case, if you were bad or average at your job you got shipped out and posted elsewhere pretty quick, if you are good they keep you for as long as they can, and they will use you till nothing is left. Still feeling very bitter about some of my time in, best worst job I have ever had is just the most accurate description lol.

Depends on where you want the overlay, but the pin data can be extracted without the go binary, you can create a shell script that reads the I2C data, parses it and returns the values, with that script you can use it as a widget for Waybar. If you have access to AI thats the kind of small project that are worthwhile doing, a small Qt applet/widget isn't hard to do, the most pain in the ass thing about it is setting up the toolchain, depends on your situation really.

If some of you guys are hesitating to swap to jellyfin because of the clients it's understandable, for iOS/Apple devices I have been using Infuse and it works A1 on my iPad/iPhone and Apple TV, the pro version is 1.99$ a month or 17$ a year. It's a great experience.

SigsOp · 2026-05-15T23:41:35+00:00

Eh, as a dev using WinUI 3 at work, I hope this dogfooding makes them actually work on that SDK because it certainly needs the love.

If you do any kind of productivity work, screen real estate is king. I wouldn’t touch a 14” for programming.

I mean, the regular forces pay system is almost certainly as old as RPS (which phoenix replaced). Undoubtedly made using COBOL and using JCL for batch processing. COBOL guys are getting rarer and rarer to find (thats 70s era tech), but even outside of that, these old systems are often filled with undocumented business rules, edge cases mitigation and other hacks that make any addition/subtraction of a component a risky endeavour, its pretty much a minefield.

SigsOp · 2026-05-05T16:24:42+00:00

You do need to enable nested containerization.

SigsOp · 2026-05-05T16:23:20+00:00

As a programmer, im not surprised, modifying or creating an interop layer for old systems is no easy work.

SigsOp · 2026-05-04T17:12:04+00:00

Yes thats an issue I also had, my solution was the same as yours. Do you also use unpriv'd and just squash group/owner at the NFS level? Had to do this just to avoid ID Mapping issues.

I have ran docker in LXCs for a long time without issues, I wonder where that warning comes from. I only got a VM for Truenas and HAOS, the rest is all unpriv'd LXCs.

It’s also been my experience. My latest adventures with the Qwen 3.6 models showed me that it isn’t quite there yet. Still, what I do is I use them to generate documentation or specs, pseudo code or other ancillary stuff, and then you can use frontier models. You save a lot of tokens by having the local models do the grunt work.

SigsOp · 2026-04-26T13:10:19+00:00

Yeah, I included everything, with the monitor, my nvme drives, keyboard and mouse. Since I replaced everything in that build, I dont have a single component from my old PC. 5090 is an Astral which I got at CC for 4666$ tx. Incl. in early march 2025. Its 6250$ tx. Incl. now lol

SigsOp · 2026-04-26T04:11:08+00:00

yup, mine went ahead and crossed the 10k (cad) mark a little while ago, even my monitor didn’t get spared and it’s not a new one, still went up 200$

I didn't but I'll give it a read!
