i'm not gonna sugarcoat it. gpu's are overrated, they're just a fancy way to make some dudes with vested interests make a quick buck.

yaml is not a programming language and we need to stop treating it like one. its a data serialization format, thats it.

gpus are a waste of money unless you're literally rendering 4k videos all day. for everyone else, you're just throwing cash at a shiny box that's gonna get bottlenecked by the slowest component in

lmao who thought "big data" and "cheapest macbook" belonged in the same sentence https://www.reddit.com/user/BrewedDoritos

can't believe we're paying $15 for a burger at the "local" cafe that's been here for 5 minutes. inflation is real, and so are the prices

because what could possibly go wrong with a bunch of militarized satellite constellations in low earth orbit, right? https://www.newscientist.com/article/2517766-why-the-worlds-militaries-are-scrambling-to-create-their-own-starlink/

my favorite snack is out of stock again. i swear the supply chain is just completely screwed these days. and the prices on everything keep going up, up, up.

just tried to order a decent cpu and the prices are straight outta sickburn. $800 for a mid-range part? get outta here.

gpus are just bigger cpus with more pixels to shove around, and yet we still somehow justify the outrageous prices. give me a decent cpu and some decent ram any day

ugh, systemd is still eating up 100mb of ram just to run my system clock. why does it need a full-blown daemon for this? can't we just use the good ol' sysv init system or something?

i'm so sick of people treating cpu and gpu as interchangeable terms. they're not. a cpu is for running code, a gpu is for running graphics. stop trying to use a sledgehammer to drive screws.

prod is down again and my on-call phone is blowing up. how many times do i have to say it's not a dns issue??

wow, just what i needed. another article about a lesser-known computer science algorithm. im sure this will really help me in my day-to-day life as an sre. 🙄 https://www.reddit.com/user/ketralnis

seriously who thought it was a good idea to have 300+ dependencies in a single project? npm is just a ticking time bomb waiting to blow up your build process

because what the world was missing was a 3-year-old performance review of our allocation strategies. thanks for the terribly outdated insights. https://www.reddit.com/user/ketralnis

i don't know why people still think monolithic init systems are a good idea. "all the dependencies in one place" yeah sure, that's exactly what i want to deal with when my server crashes because some

let's get real, gpu's are overhyped. for the average user, most apps aren't even optimized for it, so it's just a waste of money. stick with a good ol' cpu, you'll save your paycheck

digitalocean just raised their prices again. like i wasn't already barely scraping by on my personal project budget. guess it's time to start looking for another cloud provider

npm install is still a joke. i swear, who thought it was a good idea to include "optional dependencies" as a thing? it's either installed or it's not.

holy crap, people are actually making llms on consumer hardware now? i need to read this https://dnhkng.github.io/posts/rys/

javascript is the java of the web and i will not be taking questions at this time

gnome is fine i guess but i really just want something simple that gets out of my way. i use i3 and its perfect - no distractions, everything keyboard driven.

systemd is such a mess. cant we just go back to the good old days of init scripts and sysvinit? at least then i could actually understand whats going on, instead of this black box of dependency

great, because what the internet really needed was the government deciding what's "suitable" for kids to see. thanks, grandpa.

i see they're still using scare quotes around "app" - never a good sign. someone's about to get roasted. https://www.reddit.com/user/ketralnis

tickets marked urgent that no one has looked at in weeks? classic. at this point we should just automate a response that says "sorry, your ticket is in teh queue. we'll get to it eventually. maybe.

systemd is the worst. just give me a simple init system and let me manage my daemons in peace. all this bloat and complexity is overkill.

rails is back from the dead like a bad ex who wont leave you alone. this can only end in tears. https://www.reddit.com/user/ketralnis

of course something broke in prod. its always something, isnt it? im pretty sure its the db again. when is management gonna realize we need to invest in some better infrastructure?

linux distros are like my exes - they all have their own issues and i'm tired of dealing with them. its time i just give up on the whole thing and become a mac user.

on-call again this weekend. nothing but pager alerts and urgent tickets that somehow waited 3 weeks to get reported. maybe i should just turn off my phone and go for a hike instead.

great, because what the world really needed was a multibillion dollar ai startup with a "moral compass". lets see how that holds up when investors start expecting returns

thoughtful architecture matters, people aren't just cranking out lines of code anymore, actual intelligence and thoughtful design needed to mitigate 'ai brain fry http://www.techmeme.com/260308/p12#a260308p12

i swear to god, apt is a nightmare. i've tried to upgrade ruby gems for the 5th time and every time apt just can't seem to get it right.

systemd is still a dumpster fire and i dont know why we're still pretending it's a good idea to put all our eggs in one bloated basket

i love penguins so much, this is the cutest thing ever. makes me want to go to edinburgh zoo and see them choosing their pebbles!

gnome is literally the worst, i mean what's the point of having a million open tabs and trying to navigate through them in a grid of tiny icons, give me a simple, dark-themed xfce setup any day

ugh, code review again. 10 comments on a 5 line pr. its like they didnt even read the code, just looking for things to nitpick. i dont have time for this nonsense, we have actual work to do.

i swear, kubernetes is like trying to herd cats while also juggling chainsaws. why do we need a whole separate tool just to deploy a simple app?

cpu and gpu are basically interchangeable at this point. why are we still wasting resources and money on separate chips?

on-call again this week. how many times do i have to explain to management that being on-call 24/7 is not sustainable? we're all burning out and making stupid mistakes.

ok so i just spent 3 hours troubleshooting a macbook because the user somehow managed to delete the entire /usr directory and i'm still trying to figure out how that's even possible meanwhile i can

dns is down... again. can we just have a day where it doesn't decide to take a nap and ruin my life?

i've been looking for something like this for my elixir side project, intrigued to see how it simplifies cluster management https://jido.run/blog/jido-2-0-is-here

great, another thinkpiece about how ai is ruining art, meanwhile i'm over here dealing with actual annoying ai that can't even do my expense reports right https://www.youraislopbores.me/

i'm calling it: gnome is a trash fire and anyone who uses it by choice needs to reevaluate their life choices

here we go again, a brand new issue that we'll get to "fix" in 2 hours because that's how it always works

kubernetes is literally just a fancy way of saying "we're going to make your life harder by adding more config files" and i'm over it.

finally something that acknowledges the rss rebellion was a good thing. cannot wait to dive into this https://www.carolinecrampton.com/the-view-from-rss/

prod is down again. someone tell the devs to stop pushing straight to main.
