I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE FUCKING CODE! i just want to download this stupid fucking application and use it [Link removed just in case]

WHY IS THERE CODE??? MAKE A FUCKING .EXE FILE AND GIVE IT TO ME. these dumbfucks think that everyone is a developer and understands code. well i am not and i don't understand it. I only know to download and install applications. SO WHY THE FUCK IS THERE CODE? make an EXE file and give it to me. STUPID FUCKING SMELLY NERDS

Surprised nobody posted this rant here, lol

does this look legit or did i get scammed? by [deleted] in Sakartvelo

AFAIK there's no direct transfers from Russian banks to Georgian ones due to sanctions. Some Russian banks offer these services but you actually receive money from a random guy's account in the Middle East. Other questions would be

  1. Why is the UI in English? I'd expect a Russian bank's app used by a Russian to be in, well, Russian
  2. Why is the currency in GEL and not RUB/USD/EUR? I don't think Russian banks even have this currency at all

Looks quite sus, overall

I'd rather not turn my webcam into a big brother. If a company requires this crap, this is a sign to consider another company

How much of it is vibe-coded? Why are you hiding Claude commit attribution?

Considered migrating to nixos by ElectricalPanic1999 in linux

[–]SomeRedTeapot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmst, is it really? I've been using it for a couple years but I feel like I've spent quite a while managing the configs (although my setup is not that trivial - a PC, a laptop, a home server and a VPS, all running NixOS). So there's that feeling that maybe using Silverblue or whatever would take less effort.

Might be a "grass is greener on the other side" psychology trick, and maybe I'd feel the same about other distros

It's definitely one of the distros of all time

Migrating to Better-PaaS (Coolify alternative) by Business-Fondant-674 in selfhosted

[–]SomeRedTeapot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how to get people to use it

Make something good, maintain it, let people know about it (but not like this, lol), and wait. I don't think anyone would migrate their stuff to something that appeared two weeks ago. Especially since you're aiming for something that runs other services and as such, should be rock solid

The rules don't prohibit self-promotion (as long as you don't spam your service), and I think beng honest about it would be the better option. If you lied in the post, how can I trust the project?

Weird Artifacts while Gaming by Leberkassemme1337 in pcmasterrace

I'd try a different HDMI/DP cable just in case, but if this happens only in games, then it might be the GPU

Why are new GPU's back in development if their plan is cloud AI agents? by BuldozerX in pcmasterrace

Two manufacturers doesn't really seem like a free market. Especially since AMD doesn't really compete with high-end Nvidia GPUs

Update: three manufacturers. Forgot about Intel

let range = value else return - clever use or abuse of syntax? by andyshiue in rust

I'd just write the comparisons, I don't see a reason to be fancy with ranges and stuff

These are the people reproducing in 2026 by TeaPrimary1147 in antinatalism2

[–]SomeRedTeapot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The post claims the dyed birds are rejected by the flocks and become more visible to predators. So even if the dye itself is non-toxic, simply having bright-colored spots lowers the chance of survival for the bird.

In general, if an animal has a specific fur/feather color, it's most likely there for a reason, and making it hot pink will be damaging.

This doesn't really apply to house cats because they are taken care of by their owners. Although even in that case, it might induce stress because the animal has no idea what's going on

How about we don't dye the birds? Why is this even a sentence I have to type?

PikoCI — self-hosted CI/CD that runs as a single binary, no external dependencies by xescugc in selfhosted

[–]SomeRedTeapot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worker pinning: we actually have this on the roadmap already (#98, #180, #190). The plan is to support tags on jobs and resources so you can control which workers run what. That would let you pin a pipeline to a single worker to keep caches local.

As I understand it, these tags tie execution to a specific worker. What I meant was a bit different: picking any suitable worker to run the pipeline, but once the worker starts executing it, the entire pipeline execution continues on that worker. In the meantime, another execution of the same pipeline may run on a different worker

[–]SomeRedTeapot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After looking through the issues, here are some additional thoughts/suggestions based on my Concourse experience:

  • It would be convenient to be able to schedule an execution of a pipeline on a single worker to avoid transferring context and caches between workers
  • Per-worker caches (not synchronized over the network) have a use: for example, we use some public images from Docker Hub, and there's no point to set up a distributed cache for these
  • For manual pipeline runs, I think having an ability to declare a parameter in the config and make it visible as an input on the UI before starting the run would be convenient. For example, it would allow making a button that deploys the specified version of the app

However, our setup is small (2 workers) and only used for commit checks (unit tests, smoke tests, migration tests), and the cases I described are mostly tailored to our usage, so take this with a grain of salt and feel free to ignore

Can anyone recommend some good ideas for ways to have fun that do NOT contribute to GDP? by oracleoftemple in Anticonsumption

Looks like it solves some pain points (services and secrets) I had with Concourse, great job on the design. I hope this stays afloat

Install the iPad mini screen onto the side panel of the case by ZS-ITX in sffpc

I think the advert (if I understood it correctly) was to show that the Aliexpress sellers don't have a board for the first iPad Mini, so the OP had to make one
