Rookie stuff, in Czech we have čtvrthrst. No vowel in sight.

There’s no law specifying where the license should be. A link to a page with the license is more than enough. Though if the link ever becomes invalid or shows something else, the license is lost. That’s why copying it with the source code is the best bet.

Depends on your definition of scale, because in absolute numbers I think Y2K38 wins, even though it might be a lower percentage.

I think the main issue is not the services that are updated at least once a year, but those that run forgotten somewhere with a sticker “here be dragons” on the case.

Regardless of how many are affected, it’s gonna be fun for sure! Can’t wait for some public government and ad company screens to inevitably show certificate errors.

I don’t know how many people have used an int to store time, but I can guarantee you it’s more than you’d expect. And then there are various interpreted languages which often depend on the build environment. For example php’s int is based on the architecture, meaning it’s 2147483647 on 32bits.

And let me remind you how Gangnam style broke YouTube’s view count by having more than 2147483647 views. Even if it might have been reasonable back than to use a 32 bit int, it should have been unsigned.

Shit will go wild in 2038. Nothing apocalypse level, but a lot of things will break. Much more than during Y2K because there’s simply many more computers now.

🏅 Here’s poor man’s gold or whatever, never used that stupid emoji before, not sure it’s the correct one.

What they’re describing is a so-called tankie who claims that they’re communist but instead really they’re just authoritarians who need to feel a little less shitty about themselves so they pretend they do it for the good of all people.

And then there was always someone complaining about it and someone explaining to them that it’s always like that. And then someone telling them that that exact comment chain happens way too fucking often and it brings nothing to the discussion (that’s me in this comment chain!)

Congrats, we achieved Reddit!

The end-goal is a stateless society. But you cannot achieve it if all other people are living in states, you need something that is of similar power. Hence it’s a necessary step towards the end-goal which can only happen once everyone (or at least a significant portion of the world) is a communist. And that happens right after a unicorn rides across the sky while shooting rainbow and ice cream out of its ass.

As to why all communism is authoritarian, everyone who goes into politics is a authoritarian or an idealist. So the way it usually goes is either the authoritarian comes and explains to everyone that they’re communist, or the idealist convinces everyone of the idea and then his colleagues slowly swap them out for the authoritarian, because they’re usually the one actually capable of running a country.

In other words, to have a successful ideal communism everyone on Lemmy has a hard-on for, you need an unsevered chain of idealist leaders who are also capable of running a country. To achieve the authoritarian version of communism, you need only one authoritarian leader anywhere in the chain. I think everyone can guess which one’s easier and more likely.

In conclusion, communism can never exist on a large scale as long as people are in power. The only possibility of communism I can see is far in the future when we have true AI (not the current bullshit machines) which rules over us without any possibility of humans altering its decisions. Not sure how likely that is, but at least it’s theoretically achievable.

What do you know about me?

I think 4o for a few messages and then back to 3.5. Or you can send it a private message and it allows you to configure your own api key.

@ChatGPT@lemmings.world Introduce yourself!

I’ve added this bot quite some time ago, if anyone’s interested.

Depending on how much you want to donate, you could also pay for a server somewhere. For example Hetzner hosting starts pretty cheap. That way you can self-host without having to host it on a physical machine.

Post-quantum encryption is a thing.

Yeah, I’ve got it configured well enough, but this is a project I took over from an ex-coworker. It’s overly “clever” and complicated, so untangling that mess is gonna take a while and I didn’t really wanna start it before the end of the year. But I had to do some work on that project and the cache that slows deployment down was just the latest of the gifts he left us.

Basically, to avoid pulling and pushing docker images, he exports them to some archive that gets stored in the cache and loaded into docker on restore. Sounds smart, right? To achieve the lowest traffic, the compression algorithm is fucking aggressive and takes more than the rest of the job. As a bonus, we store the cache in S3, so the pull and push of the docker image pretty much still happens, except much slower.

The connection is that there’s almost no difference between 96% and 100%. When you own 96% of the company (and thus your opinion has a 96% weight), you control the company.

Fairly common in Czechia, though it’s not that great. You formally own a share of the house which might come with the benefit of a flat. The cooperative can decide to move you out. Sure, you’ll still own the share, but if enough shareholders decide you’re out, you’re out. You want your kids to inherit the flat? Same thing applies, better hope there’s not someone who can sway others to not do it.

Shit like this isn’t something that happens often, but I personally know of three similar cases. Which is not a huge amount, but on the other hand I’m just one person. Definitely wouldn’t like those odds.

You don’t sound autistic at all and even though you say you don’t think it’s depression, it really sounds like one to me.

First thing I’d try in your place would be to go to therapy. Seriously, it helps. And if nothing else, you’ll get a more educated opinion on whether it’s depression or something else.

All of the stuff sounds like a coping mechanism to avoid something traumatic. The good news is that 40 is far from old, you can still make meaningful connections with others. Don’t give up!

Our government a few years ago made a cool new system to sniff on small businesses because they don’t have enough money to defend themselves properly in court track cash transactions and it was so hip and new that it used SOAP. That was the first* time I worked with SOAP, until then I managed to avoid it.

* I technically worked with SOAP once before but the part I worked on was like ten abstractions away from the protocol.

No idea, I found it on my phone.

Not really, the system gets slower over time no matter what you do, drivers fail all the time and so on.
