Why YAML sucks?
  • Yeah TBH I like yaml. Sure its not the best ever, but its not the worst it could possibly be.

    For config its not terrible. For ansible playbooks its again... not terrible.

    Why is everyone always hating on something which is just kinda mid.

    You have the right to disconnect from work after hours from today. But what does that mean in practice?
  • There are so many contracts that say "you may be required to do reasonable overtime". Reasonable, paid overtime right? RIGHT?

    All they had to do was ban the whole "reasonable overtime is an expected part of this role" verbiage, and actual workers would have loved that.

    You have the right to disconnect from work after hours from today. But what does that mean in practice?
  • What a bloody useless article. Pages of waffle all for: "Employees from today will have the right to refuse contact outside their working hours unless that refusal is unreasonable."

  • Also all the actual good content (raids) are not explained and you need to herd some cats to do them. Which is even harder if you're learning them.

    The best time I had with destiny was when I had a clan and a couple of the more experienced players would take a bunch of newbies through. Then we could fuck around and not be completely lost.

    Factorio Friday Facts #385 - Asteroid Collector
  • Wube is the kind of game dev company that would invent a new algorithm (like the fast inverse square root in quake) and not tell anyone until some insane player realised that their in-game circuit network ARM CPU simulation ran 20% faster than it theoretically should. Then they would publish a Friday facts about it once and move on.

    After Axing Headlines, Elon Musk To Hide Retweet, Like Buttons On Twitter
  • Right. I guess I just loathe the relentless commodification of our social interactions and one of the things I like about mastodon isthath the "always be promoting your personal brand" thing is notably absent. It reminds me of early social media, before people became brainrotted chasing the influencer lifestyle. I guess I just don't think you can have an algorithm for that kind of thing because then the connections aren't real.

    After Axing Headlines, Elon Musk To Hide Retweet, Like Buttons On Twitter
  • My point was that creators should want to disconnect from these artificial engagement driven systems that make people care about their "brand" and all that corpo bullshit.

    I don't think mastodon has to do anything to draw creators to it, it is what it is and many people like it that way. I don't like the fake, engagement driven, clout goblin mentality that infests instagram and if mastodon started doing things to cultivate that vibe I would consider it a bug not a feature.

    After Axing Headlines, Elon Musk To Hide Retweet, Like Buttons On Twitter
  • I'm sorry but that's because you are treating Mastodon like an advertising platform, not a social network.

    engagement is slim to none compared to say, Instagram

    This is because Instagram is an ad platform with social features.

    I’m sorry, but I cannot help you with finding pirated movies. Piracy is illegal and unethical 😉
  • LLMs are expert systems, who's expertise is making believable and coherent sentences. They can "learn" to be better at their expert task, but they cannot generalise into other tasks.

    Where is the best place to upload torrents?
  • Thanks, some of it is legal content that has just been sitting locked away on a hard drive for years while I work out what to do with it.

    A friend who does archival stuff for govt keeps giving me stuff all like "hey check out this weird thing!" with some ancient film or something. It would be nice to share that, I'll have a look at posting those to the IA.

  • I have novel data, I have created torrents and seeding. Where do I put these torrents? I just want these data to be free like bald eagle, screeching in sky.

    The Man Amazon Erased
  • My threat model doesn't need to include people hacking my locks. The average junkie breaking into my house to steal shit isnt doing it with the blessing of some hacking group. There are no cat-burgulars coming for my collection of antique dildos. I can definitely understand not e-locks for a museum or a bank, but they use integrated security systems that are far out of reach of home users. Another point is that the tumblers in most home door locks are trivial to pick, more trivial than hacking an e-lock.

    The Man Amazon Erased
  • When I installed digital locks my partner was paranoid about them until I reminded her that we live in a house with a lot of windows. If someone is going to the lengths to crack my lock rather than smashing my windows, we have other problems.

    Grafana, Influxdb and Flux - issues with Dashboards
  • You don't do it in flux, you do it in the panel options in Grafana.

    On your original question you can set the Telegraf hostname in the config, for docker stuff I just use omit_hostname = true

    What’s the Matter with the smart home?
  • People talk a lot about home-assistant but there is another part to that setup; the devices themselves and the firmware they run.

    If you stick to ESP8266 devices mostly you can use things like Tasmota and ESPHome. Zigbee/Z-wave is good I've heard but nothing compares to the interoperability of good 'ol WiFi.

    It costs like less than $15 for a Sonoff Basic R2, another $5 for a knock off FTDI USB programmer. With a tiny bit of soldering you can put some programming pins on the Sonoff and flash Tasmota. From there you can use Mosquitto to control it, or the HTTP API, both open and interoperable protocols.

    Email server hosting
  • I had this issue. And all I wanted was an SMTP server to send emails to myself.

    Apparently it doesn't matter what you tell spamhaus, gmail will still treat you as radioactive if your IP address is listed as "residential".
