@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I think you tried to email me with an encrypted GPG email? 📧 Unfortunately the inbox you sent to (managed by Google Workspaces / GMail) isn’t equipped with any GPG or my keys so I had to decrypt by hand, which sux. Are you on Signal?

I have a day off, national holiday.
What happened so far:
- Internet outage since early in the morning. Still going on.
- Unable to reach a human being at my ISP, so I hope they mean it when the computer voice says “we know it, we’re on it”. 🤣
- systemd (PID 1) crashed. Might be partially my fault, but meh.
I take this as a sign to not do any computer stuff today. 🤣
@mckinley@twtxt.net Ahh that is clever indeed 👌 You’re essentiall creating FIFO pipes with >(..)

Deeply questionable legality aside, do any of you use Copilot? Has it had any material impact on your programming work? Is its use allowed by your employer, or do you only use it for personal projects at home?
No never and I never will!
As an aside, my opinion on GitHub Copilot is clear – it’s quite possibly the largest case of copyright infringement in human history, and in its current incarnation it should not be allowed to continue to operate. As I wrote over a year ago:
I wrote about this three years ag! https://www.prologic.blog/2021/07/11/why-i-no.html
Sounds perfect 👌
Follow-up question:
What do we call it when you get to engage in discussion over topics you find in these “filter bubbles” with a different viewpoint, only to be shot down, overridden, or met with other arguments that support the existing “filter bubble”’s state?
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Bingo!
Consequently, users become separated from information that disagrees with their viewpoints, effectively isolating them in their own cultural or ideological bubbles, resulting in a limited and customized view of the world.
Did GitHub Copilot really increase my productivity?
Yuxuan Shui, the developer behind the X11 compositor picom (a fork of Compton) published a blog post detailing their experiences with using GitHub Copilot for a year. I had free access to GitHub Copilot for about a year, I used it, got used to it, and slowly started to take it for granted, until one day it was taken away. I had to re-adapt to a life without Copilot, but it also gave me a chance to look back at how I used Copilot, … ⌘ Read more
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de sounds like a very good place to start! 😊
@Rob@jsreed5.org you forgot to add “said no one”. 🤭
How To Efficiently Copy Files To Multiple Destinations: https://mckinley.cc/notes/20240508-copy-multiple-destinations.xhtml
I suspect that people who came to Gemini from Gopher are more satisfied with the protocol than people who came to Gemini from HTTP.
@prologic@twtxt.net Doesn’t matter. Far, far away! From everything! That’s where I’d go. 😂
Ran a few tests.
Copying data from the NAS’s encrypted ZFS pool to the USB disk’s encrypted btrfs runs at ~20 MByte/s. That is for a single 1 GB file of random data. Cold caches, sync
included.
That same USB disk with the same btrfs can sustain ~75 MByte/s when I use it on my workstation (i7-3770).
And indeed, the aes
flag does not show up in the output of lscpu
on the NAS.
I’ll try to tweak some things about this, but it might be time for an upgrade … 🫤 (Or I’ll have to re-think the entire thing somehow.)
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Where to? 🤔
What’s that thing called when everyone on a social media platform (hardly matters which one) all post the same sort of thing. It all sounds oh so wonderful, or all so dramatic, everyone claps and cheers and thumbs up or whatever. What’s that thing called? There’s a term for it hmmm 🧐
All packed, ready to go.
Use your energy 💪
@mckinley@mckinley.cc That’s a cool idea!
we’ll just have to run another one in early June just for you 😅
@bender@twtxt.net LOL well I’ve scheduled it for the end of the month 😆
@dbucklin Nice quote 👌
I don’t pretend to have all the answers. I don’t pretend to even know what the questions are. Hey, where am I? - wigums
@prologic@twtxt.net I can’t recommend it enough.
@prologic@twtxt.net towards the end of the month.
@mckinley@twtxt.net looks nice! 👌
When do you get back from your holiday? 🤔
Viddy, a modern watch(1) alternative with paging, visual diffs, and history: https://github.com/sachaos/viddy
@prologic@twtxt.net will miss the first couple, but will sure join when we return from vacations! 😊
@mckinley@twtxt.net It’s probably a bit faster, but not much. Maybe 20-30 MByte/s (I watched one 40 GB file being copied and it took 20-30 minutes or something like that.)
I need to optimize this. 🥴

$ units -t '500 gigabytes per 9 hours' 'megabytes per second'

That’s a very unfortunate speed in the year 2024.
@prologic@twtxt.net I noted it in my calendar, looking forward to it. :-)
yarnd setup
look like to anyone? 🤔 Let's say it exists, and it helps you setup a Yarn pod in seconds. What does it do? Of course I'd have to split out yarnd
itself into yarnd run
to actually run the server/daemon part.
@prologic@twtxt.net Cool!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m subscribed to 48 feeds at the moment. And only a fraction is actually active.
The “annoying” thing about hardware these days is that it basically keeps working “forever”. At least much, much longer that you’d expect.
Now that I think about it … I only remember one PC of mine actually dying because of a hardware failure – and that was probably because I did too much overclocking. 😂 If it wasn’t for changes in software, I could probably still use them all. I mean, why not, my Pentium 133 still works and I use it for gaming regularly.
So … my little NAS probably won’t die any time soon. Hmmm.
@mckinley@twtxt.net Not really sure, to be honest. Probably a couple hundred GB … ? 🤔 With the changed data, it might be half a TB to transfer? I’m just guessing.
Let’s see how it goes next time. I don’t expect to add much data any time soon. (On the other hand, I’ll swap the USB disks for the next run, so it’ll take the same ~9 hours, again. Meh.)
I think the solution is to have less data. 😈
@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s no fun at all. I don’t like to throw away working hardware either, but I wouldn’t wait 7 hours (CPU-bound!) for my manual backup to complete if it could be done faster on a 10 year old laptop with AES-NI. How much data did you add?
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, only ~30 of the ~133 feeds I’m following have had a twt in the last month … 56 in the last year. Some had their last twt in 2016. 🫤
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Ahh no worries! 😉 I hope the docs are okay 👌
@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Good, those US congressmen are fucking idiots I swear to god 🤣 They don’t know the difference between China, Taiwan, Singapore or Thailand if they fell over those countries backwards 😅 Bunch of old farts 💨
TikTok Sues US Government Over Law Forcing Sale or Ban
Less than two weeks after President Biden signed a bill that will force TikTok’s Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell the popular social media app or face a ban in the United States, TikTok said it sued the federal government on Tuesday, arguing the law was unconstitutional. From a report: TikTok said that the law violated the First Amendment by effectively removing an … ⌘ Read more

I just dropped another 124 useless accounts 🥳
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I did indeed edit a Twt just now 🤣 probably from this thread IIRC (typo) 😅
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I know right 😅 This can’t be true, I must be over reacting and something else is fucked up with some code somewhere 🤣
@prologic@twtxt.net From the DOM? That can’t be right. 😳😳😳
