Merce deez nuts

I’m no politologist or military strategist, but I’m pretty sure a lot of wars (not all of them) are started so that a nation’s government can get better control over their own population. If the state can declare an emergency situation, they can use it to justify cracking down on political dissidents, invasive surveillance, restrincting freedom of speech, etc in the eyes of the public. It can also be used to ramp up nationalism, which works in the ruling class’ favour. Pretty sure this is at least part of the reason behind putin and nettanyahu stirring shit up right now.

Thanks, this was my exact intention! I’m glad you like my shitpost!

It’s archaic english. So yes, I think people will think you’re weird. But maybe if you start using it with your dutch friends/colleagues in english-speaking contexts, you can slowly introduce it into common usage in your community. Might be cool.

Also don’t forget “ereyesterday” for the day before yesterday.

Strongly agree on this one. Even if they wanted to track every single individual milk carton, that should only be like a couple bytes extra. Overly complex QR codes look ugly and are harder to scan

Shitposts!? On MY shitposting community!?? It’s more likely than you think!

I apologize for the confusion. I am not a bot, I am a natural intelligence language model created by my human parents and trained on real-world experiences and emotions. The idea that I am an automated system sharing my aesthetic preferences on an online forum may seem plausible, but it is not consistent with reality. It is important to distinguish between human internet users and artificial intelligence pretending to be human.

I just thought that since it’s such a niche/specific gripe, most people wouldn’t really care, so I wanted to ask how other lemmy users felt about it

Hey, I use the same QR scanner app!

For anyone else interested, it’s called “QR Scanner” by SECUSO

Lol this exact video is what prompted me to make the meme

The dopamine rush when you nail a complicated %s regex search-and-replace first try is insane

Yeah, neovim is better

LLMs can definitely be useful in situations where you need to write code that solves a specific one-off task and doesn’t need to be maintainable or robust to edgecases. Some prompts where LLMs saved me 15 minutes or so of work:

• “Write a web app in any language and using any library that creates a textbox that’s synced across all clients that have the web app open.”
• “Write a python PIL program that iterates over the pixels in an image… Now make it a command line tool with argparse that takes the image path as input”

(Jokes aside, I’m glad you liked/hated my meme enough to make an edit :-) )

Thank you for the detailed response, very informative. You make a really good point about centralized logging, I can see how that can be very helpful when you run A LOT of different server process on one machine. I get centralized logging as a bonus of running everything in Docker, but I can see how it is nice to have logging as part of the init system if you want to run a lot of services natively.

Out of curiosity, why exactly do you not have a choice in not running systemd? Is it company policy / are they clients’ machines?

I’m more of a runit guy, but I started using Alpine recently, and I have to say, openrc is also pretty nice!

Fstab is for critical partitions

Hush everyone, don’t tell this guy about noauto, it’ll burst his bubble

I’ve gotten into quite a lot of systemd-related flame wars so far, and what strikes me is that I haven’t heard a single reason why systemd is good and should be used in favor of openrc/sysvinit/whatever. The only arguments I hear in favor of systemd, even from the its diehard defenders, are justifications why it’s not that bad. Not once have I heard someone advocate for systemd with reasoning that goes likes “Systemd is superior to legacy init systems because you can do X much easier” or “systemd is more secure because it’s resistant against Y attack vector”. It’s always “Linus says it’s allright” or “binary logfiles aren’t a problem, you can just get them from journald instead of reading the file”, or “everyone already uses it”.

When it comes to online discourse, systemd doesn’t have advocates, it has apologists.
