I wanted to design a funny keyboard with an alternative to TRRS, so I made this floppy disk sized keyboard! (Perfect replica, under 10cm x 10cm)

I made a build guide for it too: https://lexp.lt/posts/floppy_keyboard/

I feel like a lot of open source projects redirect to a discord or private discussion system like slack (even worse).

And it doesn’t help at all because it can’t be indexed and can quickly disappear on a while on the admin side. You can also be banned for no reason. Searching those platforms is horrendous, I don’t want to search a badly indexed system and then ask a question because I can’t find the answer to a problem, and be told it has been discussed 30 times.

Give me a bloody wiki or old fashioned phpbb forum.

I tried accessing https://programming.dev/c/programming_languages but it tells me that the community can not be found. Is that a lemmy bug?

TLDR: perfctl is a crypto mining and proxy jacking malware that exploits about 20’000 common missconfigurations to install itself on Linux servers. Mostly using a 10/10 CVE on Apache RocketMQ.

It is very persistent and can reinstall itself even when you have deleted all the perfctl and perfcc files. It hides itself by removing logs, network packets, and stopping all activity once you login to the machine.

Monitoring cpu usage using tools (I use net data on my server) can help identify infections (100% cpu usage when « idle »).

They are trying to make foldable iPhones because everyone else is making a foldable phone, but have they stopped and asked themselves if people want and need a foldable?

I have yet to see a real use case for something like a Samsung Z flip, and carrying a bulky Z fold phone in my pocket only to be able to have a tablet once in a while and watch a movie is not interesting enough.

I’ve started putting the (long) forum posts I make about ArkScript on my blog, so that more people can follow the development. I must say I like the look of it, that’s also helping me getting back into blogging!

So they are allowed to pirate content actually? Even if it’s not Netflix or YouTube they take screenshots of potentially copyrighted content

From what I saw it was actually rising. A lot of Brazilian signed up when X was banned in their country and all the indicators are going up it seems. I don’t know where they got their numbers, to me it feels like they needed an excuse to cut costs.

This past few weeks, Python 3.13 and the possibility to disable the GIL has seen a lot of coverage and that pushed me to dig into my own language, to see how different our approaches are.

So if you’re curious about the rambling of a pldev, that might be for you!

I just wanted to have a handy description of computed goto that I could refer to, to reuse this concept without having to read thousands of line trying to make sense out of it.

So basically burn money and energy on some hallucinating algorithm should be as important as investing in green energy and reducing CO2 levels. That makes sense. Like, yeah, totally onboard. What could go wrong?

How come the hallucinating ghost in the machine is generating code so bad the production servers hallucinate even harder and crash?

Who needs tests when you have users?

The testing environment is production!

I thought you guys might enjoy it: I have a website that I push to frequently on GitHub, and some GitHub actions that update it periodically by pulling code and generating docs from it. I needed to connect to my vps often and update the website which was cumbersome.

Well a solution is to use webhooks on push events and have a server listening to those events to then update said websites for me.

I had some fun trying to check if a hash (more like a transformation really) was collision free, so I wrote a quick piece code and then iterated on it so that it was usable.

I might add a quick bench and graphs and try to push it even further just for fun, to explore std::future a bit more (though the shared bit set might be a problem unless you put a shared condition variable on it to allow concurrent read but block concurrent writes?)

More and more new accounts are posting spam and ads to communities (eg !technology@programming.dev), would it be an idea to block new accounts from posting to any p.d community?

I'm getting fed up about all those articles "rust x something: the future?", "I rewrote in rust it's now memory safe". I get the rust safeties and all, but that doesn't automatically make everything great, right ? You can still write shit code in any language that can RM -rf all your disk, or let security gaps here and there without intending to.

Ask yourself: do you really need a performance boost or are you just chasing the numbers to avoid a non-existant problem?

[-] SuperFola@programming.dev 32 points 1 year ago

Damn, I had to watch the video to compare with the review (I'm very skeptical of anything AI), and this is right on point

[-] SuperFola@programming.dev 41 points 1 year ago

People prefer having something generating shitty code and not checking it, instead of asking or searching on internet for a substantially better solution
