Indeed. And a rare one at that.

There's just no trust in a country that is digitally totalitarian and hostile towards its own people.

Are you referring to USA, China or EU here?

Hard no!

In lots of modern office buildings you can’t.

What do you find tricky?

Of course these decisions make sense for the business making them. That does not make it less unethical nor does it change the fact that what these decisions are doing is in fact making products/services worse and in turn making the world a worse place.

Speeding things up is one of the ways to deal with it.

Making it a well-paid, high status job is another way to deal with it.

Not easy. Not cheap. Involves fixing quite a few incentive structures as well and weeding out corruption... Yeah, I guess you're right, speeding things up a bit at the cost of everyone's privacy and liberties is going to be what they go for.

I am not sure what you are saying, really.

It is a tool that does one thing really well.

It is trivial to sync the password db. You can use whatever you prefer.

"I have a working, synced password manager across my devices with good security practices."

Well, using Lastpass or any other third party to store your passwords was never good security practice.

How does anyone trust ANY third party with all their passwords and encryption keys is beyond me.

Setting up KeePassXC is trivial.

As I understand it, it is $1/month minimum spend. Big difference between a one-time cost vs. a recurring cost. No matter how small.

Wow. I would have loved something like this when I was studying in University.

What are you using Celery for?

Things like provisioning, deploying, and eventually destroying cloud instances (VMs) on-demand when a user buys a specific service.

Do you need to be able to recover from a reboot or crash with your queues intact?

Yes, I expect the queue to be durable.

Is it a distributed system as opposed to a single machine?

Currently, everything runs on a single machine. But I expect it will eventually have to be split up. Although I do not expect it to be massively distributed or very complex.

Do you have complex multi-step workflows?

Depends on what you mean by complex but Multi-step, yes.

I am currently in the process of starting a project with Flask, SQLAlchemy, Celery. Say more about why I should avoid Celery and what to use instead.

I do a bit of amateur photography and I have my photo collection in subversion today. Would Lore be a better fit for a photo collection with hundreds of thousands of binary files and almost a TB in size?

I have considered git many times but i have effectively one user and what I have now works. And I did not see any benefits in git for this use case.

Just came back to work today to find that OneDrive lost me almost all of Friday’s work. My changes are nowhere to be found in “previous version”. OneDrive is such a mess.

Well, often you don't get to "dump" your pension fund. In Denmark, it is your employer deciding what pension fund to use, and you will then have to use it. It is kinda ridiculous.

Why do you not want to name them?

Looks more like a computer mouse than a sports car.

May I ask what tools did you make so far? And what is on your roadmap?

I have been self-hosting Forgejo for some time now. It is impressively easy to maintain and operate. I can highly recommend giving it a spin.

What's really happening is that a few employees realized they can game the system by turning on a firehose of AI slop and pushing 10x the LOC than any other engineer (with or without AI)

Did they figure out how to game the system? Or was the system set up exactly with incitaments to produce exactly this outcome?

The article you are thinking of was likely written by Axel Rietschin who worked on Azure core compute team.

Yeah me too. I moved all my public projects to codeberg and my internal repos to self-hosted forgejo.

Hosting forgejo is really easy as well. It being a single binary makes it really easy to handle with almost zero maintenance.

Well, outages seem to be distributed across all days except weekends. So this seems like people fucking around with stuff being a major factor.

Why is there even a “ moderation queue”? Isn’t this people’s private recordings?

databasus does not do PITR.

Where do they state it is aliens?

I prefer Firefox as it is still the only feasible non-chromium alternative.

I have been a firefox user for more than two decades - since it was called Pheonix and later Firebird.

I almost never use YouTube anymore. They seem less and less relevant.
