The image isn’t gone, that hosting server just flat out refuses connections from certain IPs. See if this works for you - https://i.imgur.com/ReCjF8k.jpeg. I’ve heard that Imgur is not accessible in the UK, but Lemmy doesn’t let me upload it because it’s “too tall”.

Did Microslop slopify VSCode?

A long time ago.

sudo usually requires some sort of authentication though. Why not rm -rf ~/*?

People don’t affectionately call it Moronix for no reason.

The term “stable” is not meant to be used as a synonym for “reliable” when describing distros.

You jest, but you aren’t wrong. At least if we are talking about C, C++ or Rust. https://godbolt.org/z/oPPfdfcf5

.NET compiler is weak when it comes to optimizing your code; I assume Go’s is as bad.

Alternatively, use Vesktop. It has telemetry removed. And it’s actually developed with Linux in mind.

LLMs need to be trained to work with reptilian language. Problem solved.

I’m so confused by the meme. What the hell is a “monolithic bug”? And what does DevOps have to do with software architecture?

Not sure why you’re downvoted.

Operating systems often cache disk writes and flush them to underlying devices once in a while. Dismounting (or “ejecting” in Windows terms) forces the writes to be flushed.

See man 2 fsync.

Hilariously enough, just today I read a blog post about a service where the client interacts with the database directly - https://clickhouse.com/blog/building-a-paste-service-with-clickhouse. While it’s not your traditional OLTP database, it still kinda fits.

Helix.

It is.

https://zed.dev/ - check out the video on the front page. Most of it (2:08 - 6:18, the whole video is 8:40) is shilling for an integrated LLM.

I assume, decoding it on the fly? It’s possible to encode a JPEG as a JPEG XL losslessly.

Webp currently the best image file format.

Out of the widely supported ones, it’s quite good, yeah. Overall, I’d say JPEG XL is the better one. Ironically, only Safari supports it out of the box. Firefox requires a Nightly version with tweaking in about:config. Chrome used to have a feature flag, but has since removed it.

ISPs putting you behind NAT is not cozy.

They charge extra for a feature called “static IP”. But the IP address not being static is not the issue, for me at least. You could host stuff with a dynamic IP back in 2000s/2010s. But no, now you get to share the same IPv4 address with a bunch of other households, unless you pay extra.

/64

That’s not an address, that’s a whole fucking subnet consisting of 2^64 different addresses. ☝️🤓

In typical C fashion, there’s undefined behavior in turn_char_to_int. xD

Oh wow, a security disaster. You know, you can temporarily escalate your privileges if you need to modify Program Files, right? It’s just one UAC prompt away.

I misremembered the whole thing. It was still related to cleaning up after a failure, but there was only one resource I had to deal with. That’s how it looks like:

    sqlite3 *db;
    int r;

    r = sqlite3_open("./data.db", &db);
    if (r) {
        std::cerr << "Can't open the database: " << sqlite3_errmsg(db) << std::endl;
        return r;
    }

    r = sqlite3_exec(db, "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS foo(...);", nullptr, nullptr, nullptr);
    if (r != SQLITE_OK) {
        std::cerr << "Can't create a table called foo: " << sqlite3_errmsg(db) << std::endl;
        goto out;
    }

    // a few more sqlite3_exec calls;
    // some sqlite3_prepare_v2 calls combined with sqlite3_bind_* and sqlite3_step calls
    // for repeated queries.

out:
    sqlite3_close(db);
    return r;
