Leslie I typed your symptoms into this box and it says you might have network connectivity issues?

Mullvad>Nord

Because:

Monero>Snitchcoin

What is snitchcoin?

Gooey0210 ,

Bitcoin

@loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

That’s a bit harsh

prole ,

Care to explain the comparisons?

AtmaJnana , (edited )

I assume because Bitcoin has a public ledger and Monero doesn’t. Its more than that, but that’s the gist. Monero literally exists to offer additional privacy over Bitcoin.

No idea about those VPNs in particular, but I assume its a similar privacy issue, such as keeping logs…

prole ,

I know what Monero is, it just wasn’t clear to me how it relates to those VPNs

AtmaJnana ,

Sure, but not all readers of the thread will be familiar.

Chakravanti ,

Bitcoin is a Snitchcoin. Everything is does everywhere it goes and everyone trading in its entire history is tracked and publicated %100 all the way down to the IP address.

Closest thing you can get away with that is to swap Monero for the Bitcoin on Bisq.

Monero is anonymous. %100. Regular upgrade to the shuffling of the anonymity is by design and happens between twice a year and every other year.

Mullvad accept Monero directly. No third party snitch tracker doing the acceptance for them. They give the same discount for the payment method.

prole ,

I’m familiar with Bitcoin and Monero, it just wasn’t clear to me how they related to those VPNs.

I’m all for privacy but if you feel the need to pay for a VPN with Monero, and get seemingly offended by ones that don’t accept it, then I really have to wonder what you need it for.

Just an FYI, if I’m suspicious and I’ve only interacted with you once, I’m sure anyone who actually cares is also already suspicious of you. If you’re so big on Monero, then you should also know about OpSec.

Chakravanti ,

Nord is a snitch VPN. Nothing you do in it is private.

I’m paranoid by choice. I’m choice of such because I’d rather have the skill before the need is the status and late to the party with any skill at all.

prole ,

Ok, and how are they a “snitch VPN”? Got any evidence to back up the claim? Or is it just run of the mill paranoia?

I don’t have a horse in this race, and have no interest in defending Nord. I’ve just seen nothing that indicates what you said is true.

Chakravanti ,

No. All my old shit is gone. I was in a coma for 3mo and 3 more in rehab. Came back to all my comps fried or stolen. I know enough never to fuck with them. Don’t take my word for it. Do your own gorramn research.

prole ,

So you think your stuff was gone because NordVPN? A real critical thinker, huh?

Chakravanti ,

You read shit that ain’t there. That rock ain’t psychic despite thinking whatever the fuck you think.

commie ,

don’t tell ppl monero is pvt.

Chakravanti ,

And don’t tell anyone they use it to sling dope on the darknet either.

Aurenkin , to programmerhumor in There’s nothing more permanent than a temporary fix

Then a year or two later you quit/get fired/move to a new team and that code is underpinning a business critical task. Everyone responsible for the code is scared to do any major refactoring because of how important it is but it seems to be working ok. Hopefully they’ll have time for a big refactor next quarter when they can afford to take some time and manage the associated risk.

The newly responsible team decides to rewrite it because “it’ll be easier than adding the new feature”, hopping on for another ride on the rollercoaster of sadness.

I feel attacked.

parpol , to programmerhumor in There’s nothing more permanent than a temporary fix

Don’t forget to make a YouTube video about how slow clean code is, as if you can’t optimize power intensive parts only and leave the rest clean.

jubilationtcornpone , to programmerhumor in There’s nothing more permanent than a temporary fix

One way or another, the interest on the technical debt always comes due. When you hear phrases like “we can’t do that without a major refactor” with increasing frequency, you’ll know that day is not far off.

…And I just realized that it might be time for me to start looking for a new job cause the credit line on my current project is about maxed out.

I’ve given up at this point because in the tech industry, there are zero wins. Even if you knock something out in 2 weeks, you’re “too slow” and need to “iterate faster”.

Okay fine.

iterates faster

    Because if the types are correct, it’s mostly bug free already, right?

    yogthos OP ,
    @yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

    That’s pure nonsense. Types don’t tell you that your code is correct, they just tell you that your types align. Here’s a perfect example of where the mentality that if it compiles, ship it leads you in practice.

    Haskell bro wrote a benchmark comparing Haskell with C implementation of websockets. The initial results looked extremely favorable for Haskell. However, it turned out that the Haskell implementation failed to deliver messages reliably, dropping 98% of the messages it received.

    Furthermore, static typing is that it’s inherently more limiting in terms of expressiveness because you’re limited to a set of statements that can be verified by the type checker effectively. This is a subset of all valid statements that you’re allowed to make in a dynamic language.

    So, a static language will often force you to write code for the benefit of the type checker as opposed to the human reader because you have to write code in a way that the type checker can understand. This can lead to code that’s more difficult to reason about, and you end up with logic errors that are much harder to debug than simple type mismatches. People can also get a false sense of confidence from their type system as seen here where the author assumed the code was correct because it compiled, but in fact it wasn’t doing anything useful.

    At the same time, there is no automated way to check the type definitions themselves and as you encode more constraints via types you end up with a meta program describing your program, and there is nothing to help you know whether that program itself is correct. Consider a fully typed insertion sort in Idris. It’s nearly 300 lines long! I could understand a 10 line Python version in its entirety and be able to guarantee that it works as intended much easier than the Idris one.

    weird how every temporary fix becomes legacy code as soon as it hits production

    Elkenders , to piracy in this can't be real. is it?

    Can bazarr fix this crap? I got something similar recently.

    anivia ,

    Stop using bad trackers and it won’t happen

    Elkenders ,

    I use opensubtitles, and I’d love to but it’s not particularly easy to just get into good trackers.

    nutsack ,

    give me $40

    frunch ,

    All i got is about $3.50

    Tarkcanis ,

    Go on, git! Get outta here Loch Ness Monsta!

    nutsack ,

    how about a picture of your dongis

    phoenixz ,

    Where do I find good trackers? Even paid ones?

    anivia ,

    Paid torrent trackers don’t really exist as far as I know, that’s only really a thing on Usenet. The most common way to get into invite-only private trackers is through recruitment threads on other trackers, so if you aren’t already a member of at least 1 private tracker it’s hard to get into the scene to be honest. There are a few private trackers with open signups, or an ability to apply for an account and get manually approved, but those are pretty rare. The only one I’m currently aware of having open signups is pornolab, and as the name suggests that is a tracker dedicated to porn only. Another one that is very easy to get into is IPTorrents. It’s invite-only, but they are giving so many invites to members that there are lots of people that will give you an invite if you just ask nicely

    lud ,

    I don’t think so, but you can use an open subtitles premium account to get rid of ads. it’s not that expensive.

    Elkenders ,

    I have premium to deal with the backlog. Maybe it downloaded before I switched.

    lud , (edited )

    Yes, you will have to redownload the subtitles.

    Odd that people downvote me for answering your questions.

    The useless comment that provided no information whatsoever and just told you to git gud, was up voted to 24+

    Haha yeah the classic passive aggressive elitist response wins.

    I have a script that I found somewhere and have made personal tweaks to: pastebin.com/RJf9kajkPut it in a file called sub-clean.sh and check the instructions in the script on how to add it to bazarr

    I have not noticed any issues with it, but there can of course be false positives (like someone saying the word “Facebook” in a series/movie), so your miles may wary. (this is why i leave the .trash.tmp file personally, so that i can restore the removed lines if needed)

    and as always, this script is provided as is, but it might help someone out there

    Asudox , to piracy in this can't be real. is it?

    it’s real

    petersr ,

    Just like Tolkien wrote it.

    Magnetar , to piracy in this can't be real. is it?

    I’m telling you, there will be a streaming service that will deepfake ads into finished movies. Darth Vader will turn at the at the camera and say “No, I am your father… and you should buy the Elon Musk biography on audible dot com for free”

    Louisoix ,

    I love buying stuff for free!

    Zagorath ,

    The catch is that you’re signing up for a recurring subscription, and Audible plays the hard sell when you try to cancel your subscription.

    (If you’re determined though, this can be great for you. I think I’ve gotten a total of 5 or 6 audiobooks for free from Audible thanks to their free first month and “please don’t leave” unsubscribe flow and “please come back” emails.)

    NoFun4You ,

    Yarrr

    Magnetar ,

    Even Elon Musk biographys? But yeah, I worded that poorly.

    CitizenKong ,

    Only a question of time. Ads are already digitally inserted into movies and shows.

    III ,

    I was at a Cracker Barrel last night and among the random shit on their walls was an old checker board. The border of the board, taking the majority of the space available, was covered in ads. I guess it never changes.

    AtmaJnana , (edited )

    That’s been going on since Blockbuster was a growth company. Like 20 years ago, for the TV (or maybe DVD, I forget which) release of Get Shorty, they 'shopped in an Oldsmobile Sillouette minivan as a product placement, replacing the original vehicle.

    “Its the Cadillac of minivans.”

    edit: Actually, the Olds was the one in the theatrical release, which got replaced with another make/model for TV. All the releases I can find so far include the Sillouette.

    dejected_warp_core ,

    Slow down there, Satan. I kid you not, I had someone approach me to help develop technology like this a long time ago. The idea was to break into video streams at the ISP and insert advertising on the fly w/o prior approval.

    My reaction, after realizing this person wanted to turn the internet into an ad-encrusted wasteland*, was: “What happens when that video stream is something live with a LOT of money behind it, like the Superbowl?” The legal and professional ramifications didn’t even clock with this guy. It was squarely in the “not my problem” category.

    (* More-so than it is now. I’m not saying we’re getting off light, but this guy was a-okay with making everything look like the hallway bulletin board in a college dorm.)

    Magnetar ,

    That’s the kind of guy who invents the idea of selling a subscription to seat heating in your own car.

    dejected_warp_core ,

    Exactly. I tell this story to remind people that cynics aren’t just old cranks on internet forums. They’re also salespeople that decided to make some cash on our way to (consumer) hell, and they’re entitled to a turn at holding the pitchfork.
