  • real men write their code one bit at a time with a laser pointer and a fiber optic network cable

    Or you could just use zig which is better at compiling C than C (the second it supports the espressif chips I'm never touching C again)

  • [System32] No but like for real
  • The amount of ink that comes with an inkjet printer is tiny. So a new printer comes with 10mL of ink, and the refills are 35mL or more. You quite literally get what you pay for.

    The other reason is that inkjet printers need to be used on a regular basis, or the ink can dry out. But manufacturers have handled this by having the printer drip out tiny bits of ink all the time, so it's literally using the ink even when you aren't using it.

    For the vast majority of people, a cheap laser printer is the far better option. Unless you want to produce art prints, but at that point you're looking at spending a ton of money anyways.

  • [Solved] Looking for ... inventory management, I guess?
  • I get very far by just keeping a set of folders for each piece of equipment in a git repo.

    Pictures, etc, and sometimes the PDF manual if I bother.

    The difficult part here is being consistent over time - making sure you mark down when you bought things, serial numbers, etc. a proper website/app will force you to do this, but there is flexibility in having whatever convention you like most

  • Self-hosted SSO
  • Strongly agree. A guide for dead simple setups would be incredibly useful (e.g. gsuite as idp, oauth for a single app).

    It took me a few days to get that basic setup working, and a few days more to improve it. But once it was up, it was rock solid.

  • DOGE is not meant to cut spending. It is to systemically root out opposition within the executive branch and promote the business interests of Trump, Musk, and their cadre.

    This is a distraction to keep you occupied while they do something far worse.

  • I didn't know you were supposed to disable root user...
  • Many cloud providers (the cheap ones in particular) will put patches on top of the base distro, so sometimes root always gets a password. Even for Ubuntu.

    There are ways around this, like proper cloud-init support, but not exactly beginner friendly.

  • Coders or lemmy, what editors do you use? Is it worth learning a new one?
  • Throughout my career, I have used (in no particular order)

    • Eclipse (as Android Studio)
    • IntelliJ (as Android Studio)
    • SublimeText
    • VS Code
    • IntelliJ (as IntelliJ)
    • various CLI editors when sshing into servers (vim, nano, a few others)

    Switching your muscle memory takes a long time, which is why you have things like spacemacs, or different keybind presets for almost all of these editors.

    There is more value in understanding how to extend and customize your editor than in searching for a new one. Use whatever your workplace provides the best support for, and then customize it from there.

  • Thousands of datasets from Data.gov have disappeared since Trump's inauguration. What's going on?
  • Having worked with data.gov extensively, this may be a huge nothing burger. The number of datasets fluctuates constantly, and ultimately the vast majority of those are just links to specific agencies. If you're lucky, they link the to actual data, but most of the time the link just goes to a landing page for the team that collected the data.

    The project stopped running years ago, or I'd pull actual statistics on what was removed or if there's a shared keyword.

    But running and syndicating articles based on two screenshots is not particularly useful. At least send in a FOIA request to find out which ones were removed.

  • Trump administration to cancel student visas of pro-Palestinian protesters
  • Agree. The vast majority of people at those protests do not support Hamas as an organization and certainly not their methods. I simply believe they'll be accusing people at the rallies that did have Hamas/Hezbollah flags of guilt by association.

  • www.schneier.com No, the Chinese Have Not Broken Modern Encryption Systems with a Quantum Computer - Schneier on Security

    The headline is pretty scary: “China’s Quantum Computer Scientists Crack Military-Grade Encryption.” No, it’s not true. This debunking saved me the trouble of writing one. It all seems to have come from this news article, which wasn’t bad but was taken wildly out of proportion. Cryptography is safe,...

    Hezbollah has launched 320 rockets at Israel in the last two hours, alongside at least dozens of drones, but no exact number on the drones. Those numbers are based on a single source, so please take the number with a grain of salt - this source is generally correct, but it is a single source publishing those numbers.
