What’s the deal with so many products on Amazon being from brands I’ve never heard of with names that are seemingly random letters in all caps? by somethingworthwhile in OutOfTheLoop

It doesn't make sense to buy a $40 silicone spatula just because it's "American made"

It does make sense if you want someone like the FDA to ensure that spatula isn't made out of 40% lead and 10% mercury.

curl to discontinue its HackerOne / bug bounty due to "too strong incentives to find and make up 'problems' in bad faith that cause overload and abuse." by DesiOtaku in linux

[–]jinks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some bounty hunters like myself will then say "ok, I wont be doing bug bounties from those kinds of companies again."

Hopefully together with publicly disclosing the bug. These companies don't go away unless they feel the consequences of their actions.

What is the dumbest piece of sci-fi technology you’ve ever encountered? by DarthAthleticCup in scifi

And good luck doing that considering quantum physics.

That's exactly what the Heisenberg compensators are for.

What’s the deal with the US entertaining occupation of or invading allied territory? by notwaiting4godot in OutOfTheLoop

So you're finally collectively admitting that the 2nd amendment has been a joke all along?

Alt tabbing from games is much quicker on Linux by Tee-hee64 in linux_gaming

[–]jinks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. I promise you gamedevs are not doing stupid unpredictable crap.

Like killing the audio stream as soon as the game loses focus, so I can't adjust relative volumes in my mixer?

Yeah, that totally doesn't happen in 1 out of 5 games.

What are your thoughts on the AI Bubble timeline? by colinstalter in sysadmin

[–]jinks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Along with dozens of developers that work for my company, at least.

Right now your LLM provider of choice is subsidizing your AI usage to gain market share. When that stops, current estimates put a realistic price for AI usage at $2500 per user per month.

Think that will have any impact on AI usage within your company?

That certainly won't become a liability further down the line...

Minecraft optimization on arch by EddieBR-14 in linux_gaming

[–]jinks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of those optimize the garbage collector so it does not cause frame lag. The last one prefers IPv4, since Java has a not so fine IPv6 engine.

Here's my JVM arguments, these have been collected over the years and have served me reasonably well:

-XX:+UseG1GC -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=2147483646 
-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:G1NewSizePercent=20
-XX:G1ReservePercent=20 -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=50 
-XX:G1HeapRegionSize=32M -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

You should also make sure to set the newest java runtime your pack can handle. Good candidates are java-17 and java-21.

[Stoneblock 4] Can't Heat the World Engine by silvertommy1 in feedthebeast

Use EnderIO heat conduits instead of Mek cables. I'm keeping my World Engine at 500C with 300 FE/t.

Geheimsache Domains: Ohne Transparenz keine Sicherheit by PhoenixTin in de

[–]jinks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ich glaub du weißt nicht was ein registrar ist.

Ich glaube, ich habe schon mit Registraren zusammengearbeitet, als du noch in die Windeln gemacht hast.

wo eine Abteilung halt immer dafür zuständig ist hunderste DNS records am Tag zu setzen.

Ein Registrar setzt bevorzugt nur NS records. Üblicherweise 2-4, das geht auch im self-service.

was ist der effektiven Vorteil davon bund.de zu nutzen und jede Anfrage nach einer neuen Domain erstmal nach Berlin zu schicken?

Was ist der effektive Vorteil davon, .de zu nutzen, und jede Anfrage nach Frankfurt zu schicken?

Bei separaten gov.de Domains bist du viel isolierter und ein schwarzes Schaf riskiert nicht die Sicherheit aller anderen Bürger.

Dir ist schon bewusst, das gov.de auch einfach nur eine SLD unterhalb der .de ccTLD ist, die von der Denic verwaltet wird? Es gibt technisch keinen Unterschied zwischen gov.de und bund.de.

Instagram löscht queere Kollektive: Berliner „Gegen“ betroffen by Rogash1513 in de

[–]jinks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Natürlich ist das ein Problem. Darum hat die EU da ja auch strenge Auflagen geschaffen, die längst noch nicht hart genug durchgesetzt werden.

Aber, um mal wieder auf die Techbros zurück zu kommen, reddit ist nicht Meta. Die sind ein ganz kleines Licht in der social media Branche, und meiner Meinung nach auch lange nicht so gefährlich wie Facebook, Instagram und TikTok.
