Interesting. I didn’t know the selective hearing has a name. This doesn’t work for me, so I tend to give up on conversations after a while when I’m in loud environment. 🤷‍♂️

I used storj.io for a while. Moved to Hetzner Storage boxes for my backup, because that’s easier to configure with my restic setup.

About sleep: I noticed that I only get a measurable effect from melatonin with very high dosage of 4.5mg. But I slept really well the past 5 days which is a drastic change from the previous weeks.

I mostly use AI as advanced autocomplete. But even just using it for documentation is wrong so often that I do’t use it for anything more complex than tutorial level.

I got pretty far with cursor.com when doing basic stuff that i have to spend more time looking up documentation than writing code, but I wouldn’t trust it with complex usec cases at this point.

I check back every 6 months or so, to keep track of the progress. Maybe I can spent my days as a software developer drinking cocktails by the pool yelling prompts into the machine soon, but so far I am not concerned I’ll be replaced anytime soon.

This assumes it is about output. 20 years of experience tell me it’s not about output, but about profits and those can be increased without touching output at all. 🤷‍♂️

Just recently moved from an S3 cloud provider to a storagebox. Prices are ok and sub accounts help clean things up.

For the longest time I thought 30fps is good, but now I always want 60 fps - 50 is my minimum. Id rather drop some shadows, clouds, lighting.

yt-dlp works for the Mediatheken though, and news shows are probably a good source for learning german.

The various shows on ARD and ZDF are probably suited for beginners too.

And it will change next week anyway. 😁

Sure try to replace the one or two people that hold the whole team together. I’ve seen it a couple times, a good team disintegrates right after one or two key people leave.

Also, if you replace half the team, prepare for some major learning time whenever the next change is being made. Or after the next deployment. 🤷‍♂️

Oh, I forgot one thing:

sorry, but it wasn’t you who did it.

This sounds like you want to prove something. That you can do it better than the maintainers of the library. That you can solve hard problems on your own instead of relying on other people.

That’s all great and sometimes it’s good to do hard things on your own and make sure you could do it just in case. But it’s not always necessary to do everything yourself and learn every lesson yourself. It’s a valid way to build on knowledge and work of others to achieve your goals.

This assumes that I could implement something as well as the maintainers of the library I use. I agree that something trivially should be implemented on your own, but if there is special knowledge required (the obvious example is cryptography, but also something like HTTP requests) I rather rely on a widely used library than my own code that I now have to maintain and check for security issues instead of just updating the dependency version whenever a CVE is published.

Also if there is. A client by an API provider for my language, why shouldn’t I use it instead of rolling my own?

Another example is a framework like React or Angular or Svelte, which brings along a whole lot of dependencies. Sure, I could not use something like that and write everything from scratch.

But where is the value of all that code to customers? If I want to roll my own HTTP server up from the sockets, I can do that as a play project. But not using libraries for a real world project to solve business needs is a bit of an odd take.

Anyways, that’s enough of a rant. Have fun in the replies. 😎

Can’t find the info in the repository. Can I share a collection or specific links via RSS? I built my own application to archive URLs and grab the text content, and I also build a RSS feed from that. Can Linkwarden do something similar?

I’m using Notion for everything now. I heavily rely on reminders scattered everywhere because Todo lists don’t work for me.

Me too, but this looks like a good replacement. The docker setup of wallabag also was a bit of a pain for me, but this looks pretty straightforward and doesn’t need redis, S3 API and a bunch of other plumbing. Will give it a try later.

If you just want a remote to push your code to without issues, projects, pull requests and such you can use git only: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-Setting-Up-the-Server
