Honestly that’s good to hear. I’ve run into some devs who are completely mystified on how to connect to a remote database and couldn’t tell a socket from sandwich.

Just keep trying to justify your own lack of competency I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In my experience, a lot of software dev degree paths basically don’t even have relevant classes on hardware at all. Classes on hardware are all in IT Helpdesk and Network Admin degree paths whereas the software dev students are dumped straight into Visual Studio right off the bat with no relevant understanding of the underlying hardware or OS.

I am not OP but I actually have similar questions on backup because I didn’t have access to my Immich server for a few months and got really behind on keeping it updated. I want to make backups before I do a manual update, but I don’t know if following the directions on Immich’s Backup and Restore page is good enough or if I should handle it another way manually.

Just be careful running a Tor node and what kind of data could be flowing through your machine… It’s Tor… so some of the data can be pretty fuckin unsavory while other data can be political dissidents who need safety.

*Looking at the senior devs JavaScript code

My God, it even has a watermark.

I’d say those SMART attributes don’t look great…

Well played!

Infinite loop.

Accurate.

Based Chad Guy Debord via Society of the Spectacle:

In Debord’s treatment, modern society forces culture to constantly re-appropriate or re-invent itself, copying and re-packaging old ideas. Thesis 207 makes this point, rhetorically:

“Ideas improve. The meaning of words participates in the improvement. Plagiarism is necessary. Progress implies it. It embraces an author’s phrase, makes use of his expressions, erases a false idea, and replaces it with the right idea.”

This passage concerning plagiarism is itself directly lifted from Poésies by French-Uruguayan author Isidore Lucien Ducasse, better known as the Comte de Lautréamont. In particular, the original French text for both Debord and Lautréamont’s versions of the passage are identical: “Les idées s’améliorent. Le sens des mots y participe. Le plagiat est nécessaire. Le progrès l’implique. Il serre de près la phrase d’un auteur, se sert de ses expressions, efface une idée fausse, la remplace par l’idée juste.”

You gotta hand it to Debord for committing to the bit, half the book has phrases and ideas copied and re-worked to fit his theses in SotS.

He’s also right, we literally learn by copying information into our own minds and changing it with our own ideas. Nobody born feral in the woods is going to invent a toaster all on their own without the accumulated knowledge of humanity behind them.

Seconding BSD if only for this li’l guy. Got that Lucifer vibe.

I mean, any FOSS project from anywhere could be being used by a fascist government or corporation, to be fair. That’s literally one of the very serious and real downsides of FOSS. It’s able to be used for good or ill.

I mean, it can easily be argued that the US corporate technology class has benefited far more from FOSS than end-users worldwide.

Amazon’s EC2 especially:

Initially, EC2 used Xen virtualization exclusively. However, on November 6, 2017, Amazon announced the new C5 family of instances that were based on a custom architecture around the KVM hypervisor, called Nitro.

Amazon leveraged FOSS to create their own successful closed-source offshoot. AWS pretty much runs the web. Amazon… is not a good company.

That being said, the US has chosen to be isolationist, whether all of its citizens agree with it or not. Having less of a presence on the international stage, including in the FOSS world, is simply a consequence of isolationism. So boycotting US FOSS is likely to happen in some ways on purpose, and in some ways just from diminished international respect and involvement.

I think it’s hilarious that Sony was so scared of Bluray failing and becoming another Betamax that they basically bought out any future from under HD-DVD which probably would have been more successful (like VHS).

In the end, streaming won the day and Blurays are already a thing of the past.

To be clear, the first Blurays were coming out in June 2006, Netflix began internet streaming in January 2007, barely six months later.

Whoopsie doodles Sony you fucking idiots.

(I mean there’s a lot of reason streaming sucks but fuck Sony for real.)

I paid for a lifetime pass like six years ago or more. It was definitely before Jellyfin was well known or well developed.

I’m probably gonna keep using it until they do the whole “lifetime is over” crap these kind of companies usually do.

I’ll at least have gotten my moneys worth.

They probably are thinking of the FreeBSD stuff in macOS.

I shut down my Immich server two months ago and moved it halfway across the state and did not have this issue.

All my files are on an internal disk.

That sounds entirely plausible to me. Once again, when it comes to PewDiePie, I have no idea what the fuck I am talking about.

Interesting, I kind of assumed that he’d been long forgotten by the YouTube crowd, but he’s still number 10 top youtuber going by how many subscribers he has.

So, this may actually have an impact on Linux perception, but I’d wager with people in PewDiePie’s age group more than younger people. He’s 35, a lot closer to my age than expected.

If I sound like an idiot it’s because I never followed PewDiePie except for watching him scream and flail in Dark Souls that one time.
