Also offensichtlich gibt es hier ein Problem mit dem Prozess! Wir machen am besten ein Meeting mit dem PO und den Architekten, damit wir einen ADR schreiben können. Wenn der wie erwartet ignoriert wird, können wir ja nochmal eine Retrospektive machen.

Echte Entwickler mĂŒssen mindestens 20h die Woche Meetings haben, musst du wissen.

Du unterstellst da zu langfristiges Denken. Die FDP ist ein bockiges Kind. Selbst wenn der Antrag exakt das Parteiprogramm abbilden wĂŒrde, wĂŒrden die es aus Prinzip ablehnen.

Überrascht mich null.

Wenn die Bevölkerung wĂŒsste, wie miserabel die IT Infrastruktur in Behörden ist und was das fĂŒr Auswirkungen auf sie hat, wĂŒrden sie auf die Straße gehen.

Ich mein nicht mal irgendwas von wegen online AntrĂ€ge stellen, sondern verlorene Verfahren, falsche Entscheidungen, etc. Ich weiß von FĂ€llen, in denen einfach mal hunderte AntrĂ€ge unvollstĂ€ndig waren, weil es niemanden gab, dem aufgefallen wĂ€re, dass die Platte voll war.

Die Atomkraftwerke waren Gelddruckmaschinen, weil ein erheblicher Teil der Kosten an den Steuerzahler abgedrĂŒckt werden konnte. EnBW und co hĂ€tten also durchaus ein Interesse daran, das weiterzufĂŒhren.

Die ganzen Kohlemeiler gehen spĂ€testens 2038 vom Netz. Bis dahin ist noch nicht mal das Planfeststellungsverfahren fĂŒr ein neues AKW fertig.

I have no local thrift store, and the speakers you can find here are often too big. I just wanted small cheap speakers to listen to YouTube videos and essentially an extension cord to plug my (proper) headphones into.

I mean, soundwise they're fine. Not awesome, but for the price perfectly ok. It's just that everything else is crap for no reason.

Shouldn't that be standard everywhere? My flats here in Germany all had one central switch for that wired before the actual circuit breakers so that any outlet should be protected.

Is there a reason to only put that on select outlets?

I bought a cheap set of speakers for my workshop PC.

They have two buttons. One is the combined mode/on/off button. Short press turns it on, another short press cycles through different modes, which are not explained anywhere, but have different LED colors. One mode (line in) looks almost exactly like the red standby led, it just has a bit of a blue LED also lit. Pressing it long turns it off.

The second button switches between a regular and a "speech bubble" mode. I'm not sure what that's supposed to do. However, longpressing that button switches between speakers and headphones.

Then there's the volume knob. It's extremely non-linear and has a delay of a second or two, so you have to be really precise. The volume knob is also not really synced to the headphone amp, so each time you put on headphones, you have to turn the volume like crazy, and then remember to turn it down again.

And the maximum fuck you: the speakers are so lightweight, that they slip around when trying to press the buttons, so you always need two hands.

Absolute garbage. Why are they going out of their way to create a worse product? It doesn't make sense.

Privacy is almost always a double edged sword here.

Making all medical records of everyone available to science would catapult us 200 years in the future...

... but it would also lead to extremely widespread discrimination against a whole bunch of people, throwing us back 200 years.

Damnit, that's exactly the joke I wanted to make.

The carelessness. Mac OS is far from perfect, but it just happily chugs along. Linux often creates problems by just existing for too long. It's gotten much much better, but it's still not good.

[-] leisesprecher@feddit.org 8 points 6 days ago

Idiodin itself can't get "bad" in any way. The carrier material might go bad, but that's also just starches and a few mineral compounds. At worst, you get powder instead of a pill.

The expiration dates on medication are intentionally extremely conservative.

I'm trying to get an old Windows game running for a friend.

It seems to be a 16bit macromedia app and I kind of got it running in a Win 98 VM using Virtualbox. DOSBox seems to get confused by it being a Windows app.

Thing is, the friend is very much not good with tech and I want to set everything up for him to "just work". Installing VBox might be a bit too much.

Apparently, you can install Windows inside DOSBox, but is that really stable and usable for layman? Are there any other approaches?

I have a small homelab running a few services, some written by myself for small tasks - so the load is basically just me a few times a day.

Now, I'm a Java developer during the day, so I'm relatively productive with it and used some of these apps as learning opportunities (balls to my own wall overengineering to try out a new framework or something).

Problem is, each app uses something like 200mb of memory while doing next to nothing. That seems excessive. Native images dropped that to ~70mb, but that needs a bunch of resources to build.

So my question is, what is you go-to for such cases?

My current candidates are Python/FastAPI, Rust and Elixir, but I'm open for anything at this point - even if it's just for learning new languages.

I asked a while ago, how to build an automatic light switch and finally got around to actually building it.

My board is an ESP8266 mini D, and ignoring all the sensor parts, my problem right now is powering the actual light.

It's just a small LED array and I connected it directly to the 5V and GND pins (controlled via a transistor).

Measuring from the wall (so including the PSU), this whole setup pulls about 3W (so far expected), however, one small component close to the USB connector gets uncomfortably warm, and I'm not sure, whether that's ok.

The hot component is one of the two small thingies circled in the picture. I thought the 5V get pulled directly from the USB plug, so I'm not sure, why there is any circuitry involved.

I'm trying to build a very simple, stupid light switch for my grow light. Essentially, I want to turn on the light, if it gets too dark outside, so that my plants can survive the northern winter.

Since I'm a software guy, my first thought was an ESP32, but that seems excessive.

My current approach would be something like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/313561010352 In conjunction with a relay, both powered by a USB-PSU.

If the light level is low enough, the logic DO pin should send a signal and that should be enough to trigger a small relay, so that the relay then closes the circuit to switch on the lights.

Is that idea completely stupid? With electronics, I'm usually missing something very obvious.

The lights themselves are already just usb powered and only draw 5W, so that shouldn't be problem.

What I'm concerned with is the actual switching. Is the logic signal "strong" enough to activate a relay? Would simple transistor maybe sufficient?
