it can barely get single functions correct but we’re supposed to believe it can write entire systems from a single prompt? Either way our job at the moment is writing instructions for another piece of software (compiler) to turn into the code. This just adds another level of abstraction. High level programming languages already let us do more with fewer staff. It didn’t make coders redundant, it let to even more software.

edit: forgot to add, agree with your edit, that or just trying to inflate their stock prices.

I’ve been using silverbullet.md

Its more notes than wiki I guess so depends what you’re after.

I use audible, then download with audible-cli and decrypt with ffmpeg.

I’m running Jellyfin on 6th gen i3 and quicksync works fine.

It would quickly get very annoying because one of those essential cookies is remembering that you rejected the rest.

The law doesn’t actually mention cookies at all. Its about tracking users, they need your explicit consent to track you or to share data about you with third parties. Cookies are the primary way of doing this but there are others and they need your consent too.

You’ve never worked in finance then. All our systems at work do nothing but move large amounts of txt files around.

That said, many of our clients still don’t support utf-8 so its all ascii and non-latin alphabets are screwed. They can’t even handle characters 128-255 so even stuff like £ is unsupported.

And remember not all currencies are 2dp so get a list and use the appropriate exponent.

I had to update our currency database this week because there’s new currencies. It’s almost as bad as timezones.

I thought colo was your hardware in someone else’s data center.

For me though a VPS is still self hosting because you own your applications data and have control over it.

You’re less beholden to the whims of a company to change the software or cut you off. With appropriate backups you should be able to move to a new cloud provider fairly easily.

Maybe that’s normal in US but it’s way overpriced in UK. They want £75/mo and I’m paying £35 for 500Mb in a rural area and there’s several different providers to choose from. My sister is even more remote than me and they’re getting fibre this week.

I could also get unlimited 4G for about £20.

I don’t know anyone who is using starlink

That’s a cool idea for an automated offline backup. My equivalent is an external hard drive connected to a mechanical timer plug. Every day it turns on for 30 minutes, that triggers a script that mounts the drive, syncs my files, then unmounts the drive. Then the plug turns off the drive until tomorrow.

I like this better though. I’ve got an old pi1 somewhere, might have to try it.
