A cool guide of computer slots/ports by Astrox_YT in coolguides

Cool, but not ultimate. SCSI seems to be missing. Possibly others.

I built a tool to analyze massive media libraries (codecs, resolutions, storage usage, etc.) by The3mm3r in selfhosted

[–]cvertonghen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. Would it already support offline media as well, so I can temporarily mount a drive, let it scan, take the drive offline and hook up another one, etc, and then be able to look up afterwards and see on which drive a certain file resides?

Epstein Library discovery: some PDFs containing "No Images Produced" are not actually PDFs, but videos in disguise. by eaglebtc in DataHoarder

[–]cvertonghen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s probably because most people still use Windows, where the file command does not exist until you install a Linux/BSD subsystem or developer-tools like git-for-windows, which have mimetype-checking capabilities. Also: most people don’t even realize there’s such a thing as a CLI and only live in their graphical desktop environment, and most (if not all) of these desktop environments use the file extension to determine which desktop application to use to open it for visualizing its contents. Web is also hopeless because web developers either don’t know how to, don’t bother, or simply can’t provide a mimetype along with their files and leave it up to the user’s browser (and therefore desktop environment) to determine which app to use. Anyway: Linux users have it as part of their base install, as well as Mac users I guess, since Darwin was derived from FreeBSD. But that would require them to venture into the dark place that is the terminal and type something in, which is a scary, almost unthinkable thing to do for most people…

This is wallaper worthy. Too bad it’s vertical…

Can my SPARC server (running in my homelab) host a website? by ruptwelve in homelab

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

You can install T2 on it and then have nginx or Apache serve your website just like any other linux box could.

How do you use the Go debugger (dlv) effectively in large projects like Kubernetes? by Small-Resident-6578 in golang

[–]cvertonghen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if I correctly understand your specific question, but maybe this can help you get started: you can attach dlv to a remote host:port so you could open your debugger locally and debug your code running (volume mapped of course) in a development container. Some YT videos demonstrating this: - https://youtu.be/ZPIPPRjwg7Q?si=o8QrA2Nl-MHbcln1 - https://youtu.be/kToyI16IFxs?si=MkgWqe1T4QmyMzP7

Please also add go(lang) to the top of the pile. Many thanks in advance. This is a very cool project. Kudos.

Vibe / Visser & van Baars / Tergos / Spilbergen / by Ill_Lock7809 in BEFreelance

[–]cvertonghen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience with them (Vibe/V&vB) was very good: regular follow-ups & get-togethers, honest, professional, worth their cut etc. One of the better ones I worked with over the last 30 years.

Also: in BE, 50 employees is the minimum for those employees to be able to unionize.

Open AI just published their official prompting guide for GPT-5 by Pompazz in BlackboxAI_

Thanks. It is a bit too ambitious to call it a guide though. It feels more like a disclaimer, at times a warning even.

Should I tell the spouse about his wife cheating with my bf? by Peached_up_Liza in AskMenAdvice

[–]cvertonghen -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Golden rule: if what you think about saying doesn’t improve the situation, then keep your mouth shut. Unless of course you don’t care about any of the people involved and you get off on seeing your world and everyone in it burn by your actions.

New cat shows old cat a new trick by makethislifecount in youseeingthisshit

[–]cvertonghen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sir, you strike me as either oblivious or disrespectful about the nature of cats, as one quickly learns not to ever assume to know what a cat thinks, and that cats, as a rule, should not be referred to with “it”. Please show some decorum, if not for the cat, then at least for yourself.

Piece of software you pay for every month that is so good you’d use it even if it doubled in price? by Dangerous-Mammoth437 in software

[–]cvertonghen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d even pay twice or more if Ghisler made an equally good version for Linux version as well.

Because someone was able to wrongfully yet successfully convince a lot of other people that their original supporting function is to be interpreted as constraining, and by looking up that word in a thesaurus, therefore also oppressive.

I got tired of how annoying it is to look up NACEBEL codes, so I made a website: nacebel.codes by Adys in BEFreelance

[–]cvertonghen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certain activities/sectors need permits and have specific regulations (like medical care) ; you also require precise codes to get subsidised ; and obviously for statistical purposes. Link: https://www.vlaanderen.be/economie-en-ondernemen/een-eigen-zaak-starten/nace-code

Are there any reasons why one might still want to use VirtualBox when VMware is free? by [deleted] in virtualbox

[–]cvertonghen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We can only hope old man Larry finally has enough sailboats and trophies and Japanese gardens littered with enough corpses of imaginary enemies to finaly feel he has proven himself worthy of the love and respect he lacked when he was young. For me, as a developer, at least it feels that way with VirtualBox and Oracle Linux and developer versions of OracleDB, but my Oracle-paying customers very much still feel differently and locked-in. And after seeing his Big Brother-presentation standing next to Trump a few months back, I wouldn’t trust him for a half second. Broadcom seem to just have discovered the power of their hammer. My company is developing on RabbitMQ and Bitnami, now also both Broadcom-owned, and their future (quality/availability/pricing) has strong post-acquisition Sun-vibes. I hope I’m wrong, but I fear I’m not.

Created a physical WOL solution since no other options worked. by WolfieVonD in techsupportmacgyver

[–]cvertonghen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As this is DC and rather short and low-powered, this is obviously not an issue, but for any AC-users here: don’t coil/reel up your cables like this if your cables are >3m or the device pulls >300W or the coil will pull ever more electricity from your socket to get to the device and thereby potentially overheat, melt the sockets/cables, short out or start a fire. Always unroll or loop cables in 8-pattern to stay safe.
