My company owns their infrastructure and we don’t have issues like this and our production servers are working like oiled machines and yet they want to move to 3rd party cloud services for reasons that have yet to be explained

It’s about TCP, lookup TCP packet or TCP header

I don’t understand why I’m being downvotes but alright.

The joke is NOT about TCP it’s something else entirely

AI will create the most cursed entry jobs humans have yet to see.

First job in the old days doing WordPress, managing someone’s vomit inducing PHP? Gone.

Jobs with jQuery spaghetti calling dozens of asp APIs like a rat’s nest no rat can traverse? Gone.

Welcome to the future: Fixing some “business” guy’s vibe coded personal hell made just for you.

THIS GUY USES ELECTRICITY! GET HIM!

Python people explaining fail to see the point: Yes we know dunders exist. We just want you to say: “Yeah, that is a bit hacky, isn’t it?”

I very much hate the word app. That’s probably my biggest boomer trait.

What’s the self hosted guide to security when opening up ports to the public ?

It looks like a different symbol of you were to compare the characters length in pixels

the equals and the horizontal double bars seem different to me.

Every morning on my way to work I see people juggling in all sorts of ways. Personally the most weird and socially acceptable way is to jog downtown. Downtown is terrible for jogging, dangerous drug addicts (no offense, just not the safest people to be around), dangerous drivers. an entire landscape built around cars, anxious and pissed of drivers trying to find their way out of the traffic hell hole the city created.

A park is fine.

My dad thinks caricatures are funny, I get it. But he had one done for my 8yo~ sister (at the time) and it’s probably one of her worst memories and maybe the cause of insecurities.

I know many Nintendo consumers that will likely just buy multiple copies of the same game

I realize I’m in the wrong place to say it but it is true

Arch in like 2019 maybe.

I still like Arch, I tried all sorts of distros in VMs, most feel clunky to me.

Tiling manager, GUI file explorer, minimal status bar and I’m set.

For my laptop this is swaywm, swaybar, nautilus.

I also use drun-like programs

Reddit Linux are just a bunch of gaming chuds. and I say that as a gamer.

They’ll take time to understand the landscape and there’s nothing wrong with that, yes reddit is dogshit but you won’t convince anyone by just telling them. They just have to look around for themselves.

All your concerns are valid and Linux handles all these well except:

If you play competitive games with kernel anti cheat it will simply not work on Linux courtesy of the game developers.

Linux is fully capable of running the game and the anti cheat but the game developers restrict it. Notable games are cod, fortnite, apex legends.

A notable competitive game that works on Linux is cs2 although you won’t be able to run 3rd party anti cheat like FACEIT as far as I know.

You can use the proton site to tell you how many of your games on your steam library are playable on Linux.

I’m on my 8th month or so using Linux to game and I’ve had no issues, most popular games will work. Most niche games use very simple tech like SDL and will just work.

Wine essentially creates a fake windows environment and handles a lot of internal API calls by kind of redirecting them to existing Linux services, so a lot of windows stuff will just work.

As for security. You realize most of the Internet runs on Linux ? Practically the majority of the internet is hosted on Linux machines.

As for a distrto there is no optimal choice you can make.

You can pick Ubuntu, Debian or Mint and find yourself disappointed in how restricting the power user experience is.

You can pick arch or cachy for the latest wine improvements but find yourself lost in how to handle the OS in case something goes wrong.

I personally think cachy (rolling release) is the best for gaming but you could encounter issues (skill issues really) that might frustrate you. These issues would lead to growth and improvement in your understanding of Linux but if all you want to do is game and you don’t care about understanding computers then it might not be for you.

“no dude he just wasn’t using [ai product] dude I use that and then send it to [another ai product]'s [buzzword like ‘pipeline’] you have to try those out dude”

It’s even more fun when the angry asshole people are mods on the platform!

See: reddit

functional programmers when they look at their code 2 years later

There’s lots of valid reasons for this.

Imo the biggest one people don’t account for is this: Dev salaries are incredibly high. if you want fast performance the most optimal way would be to target the platform and use low level native code, so C++ or Swift.

It would cost you like 20x more than just using electron and it will cost you bigly if you have multiple platforms to maintain.

So it turns out having 1 team crunching out an app on electron with hundreds of dependencies is cheaper, naturally that’s what most companies will do.

Don’t want to use electron ? Then it’s kind of the same issue except this time you’re using Java and C# and you have to handle platform specific things on your own (think audio libraries for example). It’s definitely doable but will be more costly than using a cross platform chromium app.

using threads to reduce cpu usage ? in what world ? if you can parallelize tasks you will always increase the workload done.

because explicitly declaring types can be redundant, if the compiler knows a lot of the times you should also know

also because some types are extremely cursed: see std views/ranges
