Living in a dystopia

Who wants to go for a drive when feeling depressed. I don’t think that road rage helps. What about going for a walk?

You can use Jellyfin with wireguard and still have what Plex does. Unless you want to run an open streaming service (which would probably be illegal in most countries anyway).

90% of Plex users probably don’t need what Plex does and would be happy with Jellyfin.

Don’t expose jellyfin to the internet and it won’t be hacked. But you are forced to make a Plex account, if you want to use Plex.

Late stage capitalism of course

I’ve started using AI on my CTOs request. ChaptGPT business licence. My experience so far: it gives me working results really quick, but the devil lies in the details. It takes so much time fine tuning, debugging and refactoring, that I’m not really faster. The code works, but I would have never implemented it that way, if I had done it myself.

Looking forward for the hype dying, so I can pick up real software engineering again.

Good thing is, you don’t need to use it. Bad thing is, it affects reality.

I don’t get it. AI is a tool. My CEO didn’t care about what tools I use, as long as I got the job done. Why do they suddenly think they have to force us to use a certain tool to get the job done? They are clueless, yet they think they know what we need.

Sounds like my homelab which lives as a docker compose file in a git repo.

5.5 wizards of oz?

What’s up with the cool startup names recently? First Palantir the fortune teller ball, now Helsing the vampire hunter? Fuck yeah, who doesn’t invest in these? /s

I don’t, and I know that I’m fucked one day.

Revolt?

I still use 1337 sometimes, for joke names like 1337h4xX0r, or I use 1337 where others would use 42 or 69, but it’s always that nobody gets it. How could past internet culture vanish like that?

There is a huge difference between a “programmer” who just codes, and a software engineer, who studied computer science and learned the skills for problem solving as an engineer. The latter is protected in many countries.

A good software engineer is also an architect. You don’t need dedicated architects if you have good developers.

But on the other hand there are much more questionable and unnecessary jobs like product managers or managers of managers.

I don’t think you can do something like this without yaml (fully custom mushroom template cards, each button opens a popup with the entities in the room, text formatting and unit conversion, also icons change dynamically depending on state and icons appear for open windows):
