Have you tried working out and getting bigger?

throwaway OP ,

I have, I go to gym about three times a week.

Jokes aside, I struggle more with abominations like JavaScript and even Python.

mogoh ,

Do you have a minute for our lord and savoir TypeScript?

n3cr0 ,

As long as it can distinguish between int and uint - yesss!

Zangoose ,

TypeScript is still built on JavaScript, all numbers are IEEE-754 doubles šŸ™ƒ

Edit: Actually I lied, there are BigInts which are arbitrarily precise integers but I donā€™t think thereā€™s a way to make them unsigned. There also might be a byte-array object that stores uint8 values but Iā€™m not completely sure if Iā€™m remembering that correctly.

Yeah JavaScript is a bit weird, semicolons being optional and compulsory at the same time: I remember trying to build an electron example ~5yrs ago and it didnā€™t work unless I put in the semicolons which the developers omitted.

Python is just glorified shell scripting. Libraries like numpy are cool but I donā€™t like the indentation crap, Iā€™m getting used to it because University likes it.

void_star ,

Python has its quirks, but itā€™s much much cleaner than js or c++, not fair to drag it down with them imo

tunetardis ,

I think the thing with C++ is they have tried to maintain backward compatibility from Day 1. You can take a C++ program from the 80s (or heck, even a straight up C program), and thereā€™s a good chance it will compile as-is, which is rather astonishing considering modern C++ feels like a different language.

But I think this is what leads to a lot of the complexity as it stands? By contrast, I started Python in the Python 2 era, and when they switched to 3, I was like ā€œWow, did they just break hello world?ā€ Itā€™s a different philosophy and has its trade-offs. By reinventing itself, it can get rid of the legacy cruft that never worked well or required hacky workarounds, but old code will not simply run under the new interpreter. You have to hope your migration tools are up to the task.

0x0 ,

even a straight up C program

C++ is not a superset of C.

tunetardis ,

There were breaking changes between C and C++ (and some divergent evolution since the initial split) as well as breaking changes between different releases of C++ itself. I am not saying these never happened, but the powers that be controlling the standard have worked hard to minimize these for better or worse.

If I took one of my earliest ANSI C programs from the 80s and ran it through a C++23 compiler, I would probably need to remove a bunch of register statements and maybe check if an assumption of 16-bit int is going to land me in some trouble, but otherwise, I think it would build as long as itā€™s not linking in any 3rd party libraries.

jaybone ,

The terse indexing and index manipulation gets a bit Perl-ish and write-only to me. But other than that I agree.

Syncthing. Look no further, just check the ā€œuntrusted deviceā€ so that you donā€™t give unencrypted data to your friendā€™s disk.

Anonymouse OP ,

I wasnā€™t aware of the untrusted setting. That sounds like a good option.

Syncthing is not a backup tool and may very well destroy all your data on its own (though this is rare).

I am very not sorry to tell you that you are wrong !

Iā€™m subscribe to multiples PeerTube channesl with this account, Lemmy being my choice interface to access it and Iā€™m convinced that Pixed/Lemmy is a great match considering the huge number of community where the content is primarely picture a.k.a all meme and animal picture communities.

I have first-handed post owl pictures on !superbowl with my PixelFed accound. Just like Iā€™ve been posting from Bookwyrm and Sharkey and many other fediwares.

Lemmy is a great place to post to, but it is harder to post from Lemmy to another part of the fediverse as every Lemmy post must be sent to a specific community.

Use object storage for media and backups, then use s3 replication to put a copy somewhere else.

Anonymouse OP ,

Yes. Itā€™s the ā€œput a copy somewhere elseā€ that Iā€™m trying to solve for without a lot of cost and effort. So far, having a remote copy at a relativeā€™s is good for being off site and cost, but the amount of time to support it has been less than ideal since the Pi will sometimes become unresponsive for unknown reasons and getting the family member to reboot it ā€œis too hardā€.

intensely_human , to asklemmy in What should I do if I find a bag by the road that I'm concerned it's a dead body?

I called to report a possible body in a bag to the police.

But if I had gotten a random ā€œGonna pray for youā€ comment about me poking the bag, I would shut my mouth and move on with life as if Iā€™d never seen the bag.

ITGuyLevi , to technology in Chat GPT appears to hallucinate or outright lie about everything

Youā€™re taking the piss right? Those seem like perfectly reasonable responses.

What video card is required to use it? None, it can be used standalone.

What video card to use it streaming from your PC, at least a 580 sounds okay for some games. You seem to be expecting it to lie, and then inferring truthful information as a lie because the information you held back (which game you want) is the reason for the heavier video card requirement.

Backups need to be reliable and I just canā€™t rely on a community of volunteers or the availability of family to help.

So yeah I pay for S3 and/or a VPS. I consider it one of the few things worth it to pay a larger hosting company for.

You mean AI ? I rarely use it

possiblylinux127 ,

AI is a broad term that is mostly marketing fluff. I am talking about a language model you can run locally.

You can install Alpaca which is now an official gnome app and then download the Mistral model. Once it downloads you can ask it things about what to do with the OS. It all runs local so you need enough ram and storage. 8gb of ram and then a few gigs of storage
