Vibe coding should be punished of 7 years in jail and a 10000€ fine. Doing so while screen sharing should add 2 years and 5000€ on top.

I think this organic coffee is making me have religious experiences

I wonder if the lizards poison non-organic coffee so you don't get these...

Mother-in-law was visiting this morning (love her, lovely woman) and being a good son-in-law, I set out/up the coffee maker before leaving for work (I knew she'll want coffee).

About an hour I get a text message from my wife.

W: "Mom is here and wants some coffee. How do I make coffee in that thing on the countertop?"
<It's a Keurig>
Me: "First, press the power button to get the water up to the brewing temperature."
W: "I know that, I'm not stupid. Where is the power button?"
Me: "The top row of buttons, the first button, it looks just like the power button on the remote control."
W: "Got it. Now what? Its not working"
Me: "You need to wait until it's done warming up. Takes about 30 seconds."
W: "Is it supposed to make that sound? Something is wrong."
Me: "No, its normal. Be patient."
W: "No, something is wrong. Its not supposed to be that loud."
Me: "Sounds like a jet engine taking off, yes, been using it for almost 10 years, this isn't new."
W: "Stop being mean. Never mind. It stopped. What now?"
Me: "Put the pod in the little basket, pull down the handle, and press the second button from the top."
W: "Not working"
Me: "Did you pull the handle all the way down, so it locks?"
W: "Still not working. Now what?"
Me: "Weird. Send me a picture, I can't see what you see."
W: "Never mind, its working now. This would have gone a lot faster if you told me what to do from the start."

My prayer today is thanking Jesus for patience. Amen.

Software RAID 1 is better than hardware RAID 1! Here's why:
1. Hardware RAID controllers do fail, and when they do, they kill all hard drives connected to them.
2. If your controller didn't fry your hard drives when it failed, you'll have to find the exact replacement, or you can kiss your data goodbye. You installed a hardware RAID array using second hand Broadcom controller three years ago, and now it failed? You better get on looking for the same controller of same revision running the same firmware version (of course you can't update firmware yourself) if you want your data back. Oh, Broadcom discontinued this model? Tough cookies. With software RAID, everything is easily recoverable.
3. You save a lot of money you can invest in other parts of your system. Good hardware controllers, even second hand ones, don't cost less than $200.

Performance loss is negligible.
RAID built into your motherboard is the worst of both worlds: it's just the software RAID you can't reallly control. Don't do that.

Hardware RAID is only worth it if you have a contract with your hardware supplier that says they're responsible for managing your RAID array. They have the resources to replace failed controllers properly. You know how IBM installs full rack worth of servers just to disable 70% of them because of your plan limitations? It's easier for them to do that than to physically go there and take servers away, just to reinstall them when you grow. Yeah, that kind of contract at that kind of level. If you're there, you don't need me telling you all that.

TL;DR: if you want to buy a two 8TB hard drives for $150 each on newegg and a used RAID controller to make RAID 1 array, you can make both 16TB _and_ make your system more reliable. Reliability is what you're after if you want RAID 1, isn't it?

What are you do... wha... no! stop! are you gonna buy a raid box from Aliexpress? are you fucking crazy?!

USA. I love you. But really…

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?

Please stop.

would you prefer to get bigger bonus than see money wasted on company parties with expensive bands and foods ? am i the only one having the feeling, that as an adult professional, i prioritize more to get a good car or having a nice furniture , than having a good party?

I feel like switching from macOS to Debian started some kind of transformation within me

Found a nice house I want to buy. It is at the moment in foreclosure. So, we need the documents for it, to see if it worth it.

Documents are held by an agency. They want 360 € as an annual subscription service to share it with us. Sure.. No issue, let's contact the court.

Oh, the court says they cannot give us a copy, we can just look at it. After making an appointment in person and driving down there. How is the agency getting it, then? After all, the agency promises access to all foreclosure documents Germany wide. They can give me a fucking copy. Court states on its website, there won't be any answer via email. I need to call them and go down in person.

Well, this is why the game is rigged. I have nothing against a service that accumulates all these information from around the country. That's a fair business model. But then the enshittification started and everyone else gets worse service so I have little choice but to use their service.

Hospitals creep the fuck outta me. The excess smell of Dettol makes me wonder how many people died within a 10 meter radius and if any of them are "lingering" around.

Do you think people are inherently good or bad?

I RECEIVE: $700

I'm in Germany.

Thanks god i'm leaving tomorrow.

Or should i say danke gott or somethin

so I added a sleek UI upgrade with 3.7 sonnet on windsurf but that was on the dev branch which was pulled from the faulty deployed branch...
couldn't track the changes I made so I created a different branch from the main branch and modified the endpoint issue...

return to GitHub to see how the merge conflict could be resolved in order to maintain the UI mods only for me to realize I deleted the branch while dozing off last night 🥲

summary - I think I'm done ❌

dude1: Some man died from euthanasia.
dude2: He committed suicide?
dude1: No, he was killed by a gang of kids in China.

So I thought of this joke today so its definitely a work in progress. But then I wondered what happened with the suicide machine in Europe. So I found this horrifying account.

https://care.org.uk/news/2024/...

I mean, she got what she paid for...but...this is so fucked. I have seen a few discussions on this and there are complications to this account of what happened. I expect it will take months if not years to sort out what actually happened.

Imagine if it failed due to a dev bug? Who would want to work on such a machine? Seems so fucked.

Job Offer Letters Be Like:

Page 1: "We are pleased to offer you the position…"
Page 2-10: “Terms, conditions, policies, and consequences if you even think about breathing wrong.”
Page 11: "Sign below if you’re still alive."

What’s the most frustrating bug you've ever encountered, and how did you finally fix it (or did you just give up and rewrite everything)?

Relatives Be Like:

Mother’s side relatives: "Beta, how’s the job search going?" (Translation: They just wanna gossip if I’m still unemployed.)

Father’s side relatives: "Don’t worry, we’re praying for you." (Translation: They’ve already sent my resume to the local tantrik.)

Me: "Bro, I need a referral"

Have you tried chatgpt's text-to-speech feature?
It’s so much better than anything that I tried before. You can even choose different "personalities" or tones or whatever.

I‘d even say that it‘s perfect. I can’t think of anything that could be improved in terms of how well it pronounces words and puts emphasis on specific words. It’s 100% natural sounding.
