As a Slavic person, I want my reparations for the slavery my ancestors had to endure up to the ~11th century. Or we can all just say “fuck it” and stop pretending like people who never owned slaves owe something to people who never were slaves.

How about we punish the people who actually still own slaves instead?

How is Everyone Managing secrets in a Compose File Repo

I’ve migrated off of Portainer to standard docker compose recently so that I can script some major tasks like updating all the containers or restarting all of them. I also liked the idea of being able to put the compose files into a git repo and push it up so that they are automatically backed up. I hope to be able to turn...

rikudou ,

I usually use a .env.example file which contains all non-secret variables filled and all secret variables defined with no value.

The secrets are stored in the secret store of GitHub/GitLab (depending on what I’m using). During deploy the .env.example file is copied to .env and all the secret variables are written into the file (which itself is in .gitignore to avoid accidentally committing the local version on my machine).

it has been kicked out of schools

So, as @Ichi_matsu said, it’s a big no-no for Americans.

rikudou ,

Ok, I’m waiting for you to kill me with a maple leaf.

rikudou ,

Sounds like a job for someone trained in killing wild animals, not like something that justifies everyone having a firearm.

Do you think you that there are more feral pigs or people killed with guns in US?

rikudou ,

Possibly in the rarest of circumstances. Doesn’t sound like a deadly weapon, though. And I’ve never heard of such case.

On the other hand, quick search shows these headlines:

  • 1-year-old boy accidentally shot by 4-year-old brother in Texas
  • 7-year-old accidentally shoots and kills 5-year-old in Kentucky
  • Jacksonville police: Boy, 8, accidentally shoots, kills sister, 5, injures neighbor, 4
  • ’Another tragic story’: 3-year old girl accidentally shoots and kills 4-year-old sister in Houston
  • Family grieves after daughter accidentally shot to death by 7-years-old brother
  • 10-year-old charged with accidentally shooting his 12-year-old brother
  • 14-year-old boy accidentally shoots brother, 8, outside Oklahoma Walmart
  • Police: 14-Year-Old ‘Accidentally Shoots’ 12-Year-Old Brother In Choctaw
  • 5-year-old accidentally shoots, kills little sister in Indiana

This is just the first page of results and all of that is from 2023.

So, were you saying something about choking on maple leaves?

rikudou ,

As a really great character once said: Get angry. Angry gets shit done.

Peaceful protests are pointless.

rikudou ,

You gotta love stock photos. My favourite is the one where the code is projected across the room and the developer’s face.

rikudou ,

You probably haven’t seen the poorest. I’d say that people of the same social status are better off in EU than their counterparts in US, but the poorest are really worse off than the working class.

rikudou ,

Yep, feel free to offer suggestion for improvement (or link to false positives, so I can fix that)!

rikudou ,

Yes, I know about that and I think it’s working as intended, only the message sucks. I already changed it today, but now that I’m looking at it again, it still sucks :/

Do you have any idea for a better message? There are two messages currently, one for Lemmy users and one for non-Lemmy users:

  • Lemmy users message: Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this:
  • Non-Lemmy users message: Hi there! The links in your text lead away from the user’s instance, here are fixed links that stay on each user’s instance:
rikudou ,

The user may tag multiple communities, I tried to not phrase as a correction but more like “here’s a link for Lemmy users”.

rikudou ,

Replying to only the top-level post for Mastodon makes sense to me, thanks for the suggestion!

Edit: I temporarily disabled replies to Mastodon posts until I can think of a better solution.

rikudou ,

Not yet, but it will be (I’m currently rewriting it, the next version will be there). Do you want me to let you know when it’s there?

rikudou ,

Yep, that’s exactly what happened… Let’s pretend that you didn’t notice, shall we? 😆

Pirating AI models

So it is convenient and all to use chatGPT from open AI site and to use other AI models on their official sites, but doesn’t feel like a pirate when doing this am I wrong? like OpenAI staff spying on my discussion with my waifu persona I given to ChatGPT, or Midjourney creators knowing about every picture of John Oliver I...

rikudou ,

Why pirating? Most of the stuff is open source. For images use Stable Diffusion and download models for example from civitai.com. Don’t know what to use for chat, I’m using GPT.

New neuroscience research shows liberals experience more empathy than conservatives when they imagine others suffering (www.psypost.org)

A recent study in Israel used brain scans to explore the differences in empathy between political liberals and conservatives. The researchers found that when imagining other people suffering, liberals showed stronger brain reactions associated with empathy compared to conservatives. This pattern of brain activity was linked to...

rikudou ,

What a surprise.

rikudou ,

No banana, though.

rikudou ,

Both. It’s always both.

rikudou ,

Yeah, gonna have to disagree. If I had to choose between JS and Python, I’d shoot myself in the head.

rikudou ,

Yeah, probably not. It’s just that digital is better, analog is just what folks are used to and that for some people means it’s automatically better. I grew up with analog, my first cars had analog and if I’ve never seen it again, I wouldn’t miss it.

rikudou ,

Yes, but unironically.

rikudou ,

TIL, thanks!

rikudou ,

Yeah, we need human writers! I don’t think AI can turn great books into shitty movies as well as actual writers. AI scripts sound like a real gain, IMO.

rikudou ,

Well, then they’ll make movies without union.

rikudou ,

Well, for one, I think like this. And given the upvote, at least one other person does as well. And six others disagree. Which is fine with me, by the way, people can disagree and be civilized about it.

As for “obvious shills and trolls” - just because I like the technology and dislike current writers, I’m a troll? With thinking like this you should perhaps go live in a totalitarian state, cause that’s how they roll - “you’re either with us or you’re bad”.

Can you pretty please let me have my opinion?

rikudou ,

Stop acting like a spoiled kid, please.

rikudou ,

Not first good art, no, there are many great movies. It’s usually when people who are famous enough to do whatever are the directors (Tarantino, Nolan). But the usual crap? All the unimaginative movies and TV shows? Botching good books by not understanding the source material at all? That’s most of the writers and that’s who I think should be replaced by AI. We were doing a presentation on capabilities of AI recently and one sentence my colleague came up with sums it up: AI is not some super smart thing, it’s like millions of average people who can think really fast.

rikudou ,

See, that’s your point of view. My point of view is that people who are all doom online are the problem.

rikudou , (edited )

How can you write an article about great female characters and not mention Jesse Faden? She’s the female character for me. She and Geralt are the crossover we need.

rikudou ,

You seem to have dropped this arm: \

In Czech it’s red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, blue, violet/purple (we have the same word for both).

Edit: Violent -> Violet

rikudou ,

Heh, thanks, didn’t notice.

rikudou ,

It was called that for a while.

rikudou ,

Here you go.

AI generated image of an anthropomorphic bean standing in a field of beans.

rikudou ,

The author didn’t know radio waves travel at the speed of light. So he made some good-sounding intro based on incorrect assumptions (which made the whole intro a little cringe) which they apologized for. Yeah, shouldn’t happen, but we’re all human, we make mistakes.

You know that if you go deep down enough, everything is maths? Does it mean everyone should have a maths degree to do anything? Technology isn’t science, technology is practical application of science. So you need to be a scientist to design such technology, but you “only” need to understand the high-level to convey to people how it works, because no one* is really interested in how it works.

  • That’s a hyperbole, I don’t mean “no one” literally, you sound like the type of person that would reply with “muh, not no one”, so I’m clarifying in advance¨

I hope you remember this reply of mine every time you make any mistake. Or any time you don’t know something you should know because you for whatever reason missed it (which, again, happens to all of us).

Linux Mint is my go-to. It’s stable and if I want the latest update of anything, I use one of these:

  • PPA
  • Flatpak
  • Docker

I think people underestimate how useful docker can be for running various stuff, I have few semi-permanent containers for some software and it works great.

rikudou ,

It’s a containers system. It’s similar to a virtual machine, you can run so-called images, which are a copy of the virtual machine that are hosted on the internet. For example, to run a mysql server: docker run -it --name mysql -p 3306:3306 mysql:8. This will run an interactive container (-it) called mysql (–name mysql) which will run the version 8 of mysql (the image name and version, mysql:8) which will forward the port 3306 from container to the port 3306 on your host PC (-p 3306:3306). You can have multiple containers, so for example multiple mysql versions (they can’t have the same host port if they’re running at the same time).

What is you backup tool of choice?

I don’t mean system files, but your personal and work files. I have been using Mint for a few years, I use Timeshift for system backups, but archived my personal files by hand. This got me curious to see what other people use. When you daily drive Linux what are your preferred tools to keep backups? I have thousands of...

rikudou ,

Git for projects, NAS for 3D printing stuff, mods for games and unofficial game translations, Google Photos for photos (looking to migrate away from that when I have time). I don’t much care about anything else.

rikudou ,

Yep, that’s what I meant. If it’s a public project, it’s on my GitHub, if it’s a private one, it’s on my private GitLab instance.

rikudou ,

Show us on this doll where php hurt you. Php is great, especially in the later versions. I rarely need to know the position of a substring in a string, most of the time str_starts_with(), str_ends_with() and str_contains() is what I really need.

rikudou ,

Just… don’t use ==? I haven’t used it in a few years.

rikudou ,

Match is even better, short and sweet.

rikudou ,

You don’t know many languages, huh?

rikudou ,

Yeah, because casting everything to void* is so safe.

rikudou ,

@ChatGPT Is the below text true?

We might actually not know why magnets work.

The formula used to prove the functionality of magnets can also be used to prove the existence of a theoretical state called a monopolar magnet - positive or negative on both sides. So either monopolar magnets can exist, even if in some esoteric circumstance, or we don’t know why magnets work.
