I have to unsubscribe from some of kbin’s magazines because bots constantly posting spam there in past few months. It’s bad. I didn’t know the dev runs double duty as mod as well.

Kids used to spam hadouken and kamehameha to each other back then. Not sure what kids these days do though.

I mean, a huge number of redditors moved here because of reddit enshittification.

I wonder which one came first, clothing or hairless skin?

FBI would arrest jellyfin devs so fast before they can hit the release button.

I think every programmer should know how to write frontend and backend code, and how to deploy their code. Sure, everyone has their own specialization and things they like to do, but that doesn’t mean they should be ignorant of all aspects of software development.

Someone actually did a comparison recently. Pretty interesting if you got the time to read it: https://danluu.com/seo-spam/ . tldr: google and bing bad.

There is also a recent study by researchers on Leipzig University that confirm google is getting worse : https://downloads.webis.de/publications/papers/bevendorff_2024a.pdf

If you didn’t use YouTube then you would still use another Google entity to find it.

The thing is I don’t use google anymore to search these days now that other search engines noticeably produce better results.

Many of those information are also available in other places. When I need to fix something, I’m usually able to find what I need on the web (manuals, blog posts, etc) before resorting to searching youtube videos on how to do it. Some truly niche stuff are only available on youtube though (e.g. some dude filming himself doing his niche job), but I can count on one hand the instances I needed one of those.

While I have revanced on my phone and smarttube on my chromecast, the last time I watched a youtube video for an extended amount of time was two month ago. I did open those apps a few weeks ago, but only to see if youtube finally blocks them. So yeah, I guess I can quit youtube cold turkey now.

Lemmy.world actually host a voyager instance at https://m.lemmy.world/

That’s just how software licensing work before subscription, right? You’ll get a permanent license key that valid for that version, then if you want to upgrade to the latest version later down the line, you’ll buy a license upgrade (usually at discount).

Yes, I didn’t address the point made, just want to mention that people are increasingly avoiding hardware raid these days.

And what about the RAID controller itself? Does it not add complexity and another point of failure to the whole system?

This is why people prefers software raid these days instead of hardware raid.

Unlike hdd, I never experienced graceful disk failures on ssd. Instead, they just randomly decided to die at the most inconvenient time. Raid 1 saved my hide a couple times now from those ssd failures.

No one bully me at school because my mom was a teacher in my elementary school, my dad was a teacher in my middle school, and my aunt was a teacher in my high school. I was literally bullet proof. The teachers gave me a hard time if I was slacking though and reported it to my parents. Couldn’t even roll up my sleeves without my parents found out.

Iirc biplanes were still used in ww2. Some of the newer ones also have wooden elements, such as the famous “wooden wonder” mosquito.

Now imagine being a wwii fighter pilot and charging straight ahead through enemy’s AA in a plane built from wood and paper.
