The most annoying thing about a lot of these is that tutorials are “minimal viable setup” sorta things. Like “now you have it setup, make sure you tune it for production”

Dude I’m already in pain from trying to deploy these models and you just have to go rub salt into my eyes. “Simplify your stack with <Tech>” they said. “Share your resources effectively and easily with <Tech>” they said. “Here’s your fuckin’ ‘Hello, World’ now GRTFM and buzz off” they said.

Working close to the metal do be like that.

Oh that was such an evil trick. I liked próx mining the bottom of the vertical sliding doors in that one level that looked like a stone temple. Or the grates in bunker cuz the mines are nearly invisible on those.

They need to tell that to Theodore Ts’o.

No Odd Job!

Was the standard house rule in my circle of friends. We hated mines too, but allowed them. But no fucking Odd Job.

So when are they taking down celebjihad?

Counteroffensive special military operation.

Sure. Keep your phone until it’s dead, I’m all for that. Same with cars. But when it goes, what do you replace it with?

Are you going to build your own car? That’s awesome if you can and have the time. Otherwise, you’re going to buy a car, hopefully used, that was still built by EvilCorp.

Same with your phone.

I drive a Tesla; bought it used. Elon is a shit human. Know who else is a shit human? Literally every CEO of every car company in the world.

I have an iPhone. Bought it used. Tim Cook is a shit human. Know who else is a shit human? Literally every CEO of every major tech company in the world.

I work for NVIDIA. I make them a lot of money and they pay me very well. Do I think Jensen Huang is a shit human? Fuck yes I do, he exploits people the same way every other CEO ever does.

But what can I do? I self-host most of my services and pay for privacy-respecting ones that I don’t. But I’m a career IT worker; I know how to do that. Most people don’t even know what Linux is.

Sure, I could just move to Baja and live a Mexico beach bum lifestyle. Doesn’t sound so bad until one thinks a little deeper about it.

And Samsung is a shining star of a tech company? Google, too?

I work for a large enterprise and build ML model monitoring pipelines fairly frequently—this will be a more in depth but similar use case to what you’re asking.

We use Grafana (visualization) and Prometheus (timeseries db)—they’re built for this use case exactly. Tons of info out there on how to build, configure, connect to your sensors, and deploy it.

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

I call it N Jinx. Always have and I’ll never be convinced otherwise that it’s not.

I don’t think an SSD is the right choice here. SSDs have a limited lifespan that’s majority driven by the number of writes that happen to a certain block. Reads are cheap and near infinite though.

When you’re talking about a Lemmy instance, mail server, etc. my mind thinks this is likely to be many writes with several read-once ops. This is a better use case for a HDD.

A media server that oriented towards most consumption (reading) would be better for SSD.

I like draw.io for process diagrams.

I’ve worked for startups too; everyone does everything all at the same time! Let the chaos reign! But it is fun in its own way.

I work for a large company now after the startup I worked for was acquired. Hierarchy, bureaucracy, layers, we’ve got it all. For worse and for better though, it allows me to focus and specialize on what I’m awesome at and furgeddaboddit (ahem! delegate) the stuff that I suck at to those who excel at those tasks.

No, this is incompetent management.

Senior engineers write enabling code/scaffolding, and review code, and mentor juniors. They also write feature code.

Lead engineers code and lead dev teams.

Principal engineers code, and talk about tech in meetings.

Senior Principal engineers, and distinguished technologists/fellows talk about tech, and maybe sometimes code.

Good managers go to meetings and shield the engineers from the stream of exec corporate bs. Infrequently they may rope any of the engineers in this chain in to explain the decisions that the engineers make along the way.

Bad managers bring engineers in to these meetings frequently.

Terrible managers make the engineering decisions and push those to the engineers.

That worked out ok for one of the 9/11 jumpers. Maybe you could be the next one!

Yes. I do not see any contradiction. My view of spirituality is a broad and subjective concept that relates to my search for meaning, purpose, and connection to something greater than myself—my role in the universe, and the universe’s role in my existence. Religion has nothing to do with that.

I practice meditation, mindfulness, and self-reflection in a way that does not require attachment to belief of supernatural phenomena.
