In some industries, Microsoft subscriptions are a drop in the ocean. Switching out things like Entra ID, Office, and print/scanning solutions would cost so much more, and come bund…

Just last week I installed Windows 11 by downloading the ISO from Microsoft and creating a bootable USB stick with Rufus [1]. Rufus has options to make the Windows installer skip t…

Thanks for the recommendation, but "nmtui" is also the most Linux answer you could have given me :) And it completely misses the point. Yes, there’s a lightweight tool for everythi…

Interesting. But the only thing I would miss, is something like a settings menu. Or do you really expect me to fiddle around in config files to configure basic stuff like wifi? Or …

This will be pushed down from people, who will have no deep understanding of it. But it does check some boxes in an ISO certification. Well, now you must to work with a confusing t…

The paper uses a minimal weight of 30g and surface area of 1cm² for a replicator. On page 13 it says that you need at least 40 of them to travel through intergalactic space, but al…

I think cloudflare is down right now: https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/cloudflare.com.html

It's so sad that we're the ones who have to tell the agent how to improve by extending agent.md or whatever. I constantly have to tell it what I don't like or what can be improved …

The problem is the demand for dynamic content in AAA games. Large exterior and interior worlds with dynamic lights, day and night cycle, glass and translucent objects, mirrors, wat…

Maybe I'm missinformed, but doesn't starlink have to comply with rules made by local authorities? Afaik, when the internet goes down, like it happened in Thailand, Starlink can't b…

I also thought about this a lot. Some things about slow thinking are great. I truly believe that it helped me thrive as a software developer. But social interactions are awkward. I…

It's a shitty system, if one side just needs to succeed one time while the other side needs to succeed over and over again. What really should be done is to disallow proposals, whi…

Same here! Restarted my router and pi hole twice. Now i feel stupid.

I know this behavior all to well. I definitely think that this can be used to your advantage: You learn alot in the struggle and get a deep understanding of the problem. But you re…

Wouldn't it just solve a whole lot of problems if we could just add optional type declarations to json? It seems so simple and obvious that I'm kinda dumbfounded that this is not a…

It's an interesting discussion. There's always a divide when you slowly migrate from one thing to another. What makes this interesting is that the difference between C code an Rust…

Do colors have any significance in those flame graphs? It's unfortunate that a post about them does not mention anything about colors. If you look at at the examples, there are bar…

G'mic is a great tool. I use the QT-Plugin for Krita. The only problem I have is that I don't use it very much and if I do, I'm just overwhelmed by all the effects and parameters. …

Yeah, and if you do that long enough, eventually there will be generation of consumers which think that it is totally normal. I remember a time, when I set specific firewall rules …

I avoided wordpress like a plague. Used stuff like django, flask, grav and who knows what. But recently I had to make a website with lots of unknowns which needed to be authored by…

You're right about parts, which are mostly state machines. The have a defined input and output. Tests are straightforward to implement and adjust. But recording and replaying match…

Reminds me of an article about the testing infrastructure of League and Legends [1] back in 2016. 5500 tests per build in 1 to 2 hours. Games are extremely hard to test. For me it …

Yes, and let me explain why. Subscriptions are significantly better for a company. They result in a steady income and a predictable growth curve. It's so much easier to plan the up…

Step 1: Announce the acquisition. Everyone will talk about the company and the fear of subscriptions. Step 2: Tell everyone, that the current pricing model will stay and no subscri…
