For all who (like me) don't know their bible:

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

I can see this happen the following way:

Grandma is influenced by TV or the local church or whatever and wants to forbid their grandchild DnD. Her son-in-law hates her and tells her to fuck off, explicitly allowing his son to do as he pleases (regarding DnD). His wife wants to pour oil on troubled waters and allows her mother to watch without disturbing the kids unless the satanism shows.

Then the math induced rage commences.

[Spoiler Akt I] (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 3 weeks ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Ja, das Buch hat auch noch Akte... Ist mir alles erst beim Lesen aufgefallen.

Hier mal ein erster Zwischenstand von mir, der ich heute den ersten Akt beendet habe:

Das Buch ist richtig gut.
Obwohl ich sonst immer ein paar Seiten brauche, um in ein neues Buch einzusteigen, lief das hier von ganz allein. Einzig meine Vorstellung davon, wie der Killerbot aussieht, hat sich über die ersten Seiten immer wieder geändert. Das finde ich aber okay, denn manche AutorInnen beschreiben mir auch einfach zu viel vorneweg. (Ich erinnere mich an ein Buch, das ich nach zwei Seiten weg legte, weil die erste Szenerie immer noch nicht zu Ende beschrieben war)

Die Geschichte startet spannender und actionreicher als gedacht und bleibt dann zwar wholesome aber spannend. Ich konnte bspw. gestern Abend erst am Ende von Kapitel sechs mit lesen aufhören, weil alle sicher versteckt waren.

Dann kam heute das Ende von Akt I und ich hatte zwar schon diese Ahnung von vorher, war aber trotzdem geschockt und bin jetzt noch gespannter, wie es weiter geht.

Ich kann auf jeden Fall sagen, dass das Buch mir bisher viel Spaß macht, aber der hopepunkige Teil noch etwas kurz kommt, selbst die Prospektion klang eher mäßig mit ihren Vormündern für Bots.

PS: Wie ich mir den Killerbot vorgestellt habe in Referenzbildern:

Auf Seite 1 (vor allen Beschreibungen) Eine Drohne aus dem Film Oblivion mit einem Kugel runden Körper, aus dem auf beiden Seiten Waffen ausgefahren sind. Vorn befinden sich Kameras.

Bis Killerbot verletzt wird: Ein Poster vom Film Terminator mit einem komplett metallischen humanoiden Roboter, der eine Waffe in seiner Hand hält.

Nach der Verletzung: Eine Szene aus der animierten Serie Invincible mit einer Gruppe von augmentierten toten Menschen mit metallenen Körperteilen.

Seit der Beschreibung als androgene Mensch-Maschine habe icv kein festes Bild mehr, sondern versuche einfach, mich von der Geschichte treiben zu lassen.

So, ich habe jetzt heute die ersten fünf Kapitel geradezu verschlungen und überlegt, einen ersten Post abzusetzen mit der von mir vorgeschlagenen Art, Spoiler auszuweisen und habe dabei festgestellt, dass mein Ebook 393 Seiten hat und nicht 150, so wie es die Printvariante wohl zu haben scheint.

Ich würde daher sagen, dass wir im Falle dieses Buches vielleicht auf Kapitelnummern gehen? Denn die Kapitel sind ja hoffentlich bei allen Varianten gleich und im jetzigen Fall auch kurz genug, um gut einzugrenzen.

Zum Vergleich: mein Kapitel fünf endet auf Seite 65.

Minimaler Spoiler für das Ende von Kapitel fünf zum gegenprüfen.Die Gruppe ist grade auf dem Weg aus dem Habitat nach Westen.

Please don't call yourself stupid. The common internet slang for that is ELI5 or "explain [it] like I'm 5 [years old]".

I'll also try to explain it:

Docker is a way to run a program on your machine, but in a way that the developer of the program can control.
It's called containerization and the developer can make a package (or container) with an operating system and all the software they need and ship that directly to you.

You then need the software docker (or podman, etc.) to run this container.

Another advantage of containerization is that all changes stay inside the container except for directories you explicitly want to add to the container (called volumes).
This way the software can't destroy your system and you can't accidentally destroy the software inside the container.

Disney consored Gravity Falls a lot before the episodes even aired. Alex Hirsch (the creator) had constant trouble for even some minor things.

The funniest bit was, when they had a flyer that literally said "not S&P approved", because S&P (standards and practices) wouldn't approve the flyer saying "bottles will be spun".

This answer would be much funnier if that wasn't his fucking plan.

The year is 2024.
It's weird out there for developers. Some of barely scrape by, others live in prosperity.

I myself found a discord server, where I was given 10 grand to flame Kim Jong Un. The contract ended shortly after for I cannot program.

Now I am sitting here in the dim light of my PC, scouring the web for another grand opportunity of flaming some asshole for money.

The day the phones went down (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

This story is a few tears old, but I'll try to remember all the fun parts.

Back then I was working with a company that among other stuff also outsourced telephone services to customers. So they would get their phones from us, all the infrastructure, we did all the technical stuff with the ISP, got everyone their extension and call groups etc.

We had only a hand full of customer who used this service from us, but or company itself of course also relied on it.

Most parts of the infrastructure were customer specific except one. The main entrance/exit server (+backup) into/out of our datacenter. But for our cause, they were so oversized, that no amount of traffic would even be closely able to bring them down. (Or were they)

On usual days we would handle maybe 50-100 external calls simultaneously. Cause remember, those servers were to the outside. All other traffic would not touch them. The servers were (according to the specs) able to do 4000 simultaneous calls.

To the day of the incident. It began around 8 in the morning. We would get a few incidents reporting calls not being established, which we brushed off at first, cause it was more probable that the other site was at fault.

Later one of our customers also opened up incidents reporting this in mass. At this point, we were getting a little worried and looked into the logs. What we found was not fun. Much to our dismay, we saw that we had around 7000 simultaneous calls trying to bomb our system. Most of which were trying to reach one specific customers call center.

After a while we found out that this customer had a countrywide mandatory survey they didn't tell us about. For this survey an external call center was hired to handle all the calls.

We hopped into a call with them and found out a few things: They were expecting about 15-20k calls a day, and their contract said something about "up to 2k" and when questioned, how that would work, they told us about a specific rule in their contract with their ISP. This rule meant that all calls above the 2k limit would get a "number is busy" kinda answer and had to wait or hang up.

We called the ISP. They just told us (and the customer in the same call): "Yeah, we sell that feature, but that doesn't really work and mostly isn't even used..."

So the ISP broke their contract but were to big to fail and the customer didn't tell us enough, but was angry our stuff didn't work.

End of the story was, that we rerouted all the calls directly to the call center and then the call numbers dropped back to a few hundred.

Edit: Survey was mandatory.

How do you have 25 upvotes? Everything you wrote is wrong.

Linus said, that the rust infrastructure is not stable, is positive about AIs future and happy, that NVIDIA had to step up their open source game.

And even the interviewer mentioned, that the "I only care about the kernel" quote WILL be taken out of context.

And he answered even implied questions...

Once had a coworker come to office an hour later than planned saying "Sorry, had to say goodbye to my gf".

Die CDU macht grade eine offene Umfrage zum Verbrennerverbot. Keine Anmeldung erforderlich. Da könnt ihr ja auch mal abstimmen, vielleicht bringt es was.

Diese Umfrage ist massiv manipuliert worden. Zehntausende Stimmen sind automatisiert abgegeben worden. Das ist völlig inakzeptabel. Die Umfrage ist daher abgeschaltet worden. Wir stehen als CDU für einen fairen Wahlkampf

I absolutely hate people naming their program with a word that existed before. At least call it Allpaca ffs. How should I search for errors or stuff in general?

VSCodium is the open source part of VSCode, so I prefer to use that.

Mull is firefox on android without the proprietary parts. Heliboard is a good android keyboard.
