Ah, the good old days of cheap cases, when every build took a blood sacrifice.
I wanted to write: No better time to get started than now!
But looking at the RAM prices which are about to jump over to GPUs, maybe wait till after the AI bubble bursts.
And don’t forget to teach all the kids how to fix an electrical socket, change a tire, build a computer.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•What are some of the worst code you have seen in a production environment?
9·23 hours agoHad a programmer like this when I was still an apprentice. He was so full of himself. Was originally a Java programmer but had to program in PHP because that was what ran on the server. I never found out why he couldn’t just put Java on the server. We had full control.
All his variables were first names. Like
$klausand$grobi. Because he was afraid of clashing with reserved keywords. The thing is, in PHP all variables begin withexactly to prevent this issue. So he brought that habit over from Java which was far superior and not such a “Mickey Mouse language”.I mean, he wasn’t totally wrong, especially back then PHP was awful. But he surrounded every function with
and(PHP was designed to be combined with HTML output outside of these tags) and had plenty of whitespace between them and couldn’t fathom why all his html files had huge swaths of whitespace at the start.His way of preventing SQL injection was to look for SQL keywords in user input and then throwing an error in the log files.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•External storage on Steam OS is a problem
14·2 days agoThe way they advertised swapping SD cards between Deck, Machine and Frame they are surely working on external storage.
Plus, your stuff is definitely still there but just the mount point or something changed.
Scratching or the German equivalent Kratzen. It fits the activity and the resulting noises perfectly.
Guck auch nach Alternativen wie Opencloud. Nextcloud ist relativ lahm, da kann viel Frust aufkommen wenn man einfach nur durch das Interface klicken will.

My father once wanted to demonstrate the danger of alcohol in combination with fire. So he got a seemingly empty bottle of some high percentage stuff and held a lighter to the opening.
I don’t think getting massively burned on the thumb and having an enormous yellow burn blister for weeks was part of the plan. But it did help in getting the message across.
