I’m not here to recommend a NUC (because I don’t know), but a thing about the Pis: I have several, some have been constantly running in some form ore another for 10 years, and I have had 0 issues with overheating or SD-cards. Also I only use the official power supplies.

The Pi 4 and 5 have heating issues, so I added passive cooling to them (if I would do heavy tasks like transcoding I would add active cooling, but that is not my scenario).

They are reliable little machines :-)

(Also they are limited in CPU and memory, so I also have a NUC. It’s an official Intel so not the kind you want ;-) )

How do other people like it, so far?

I enjoyed unlocking all the colors, it was a fun new concept (although visually challenging, everything was ugly and weird visual artifacts everywhere).

Yeah there are soooo many servers out there. Joining Discord is the way to find them (unfortunately).

Okay, sure, do fast. Then:

• I’ll add a refactor task to the backlog filed under “tech debt”
• please confirm again that you know we are still behind on security updates and that you’re ok with it because you are responsible for how I spend my hours
• I’d like more time to spend on bugs before we lose customers.
• Also I won’t touch that buggy part without taking the time for a rewrite because we did it “fast” per your request and it’s so hard to maintain now that it becomes a time sink on every minor change
• I know we are under time pressure right now, but as a stakeholder I request we plan a few sprints for improving reliability of our product
• It’s not “fun” to work on our code. We might lose developers if we do not address this. We both know the good coders will have no problem finding a new job and you’ll end up with the bad ones.
• Either that, or plan for loss of personnel and the extra time we need for the hiring process and the loss of developer hours

Change management! :-)

Or, if possible, change employer.

(And I know we’re in meme-land, but I always see it as a developer’s task to inform of the trade-off between fast and good)

Don’t you need to declare new Balls() first? Or do you suck() Balls static?

Geyser had some issues lately. I run geyser standalone on a vps on the web, the server itself is in my home. The geyser server would sit at 100% CPU all the time. From what i understand: they had an issue recently that would hackers use geyser to run DDoS attacks. It was fixed but the hackers still try to connect. All the time.

I don’t know if it is released yet (check their Discord) but they quickly released a patched version that would rate limit connection attempts (block the IP after X attempts). This fixed the issue for me.

You can rent a vps for 4$ / month, Forgejo for server is open source.

I entered the world of Java a few years ago, there were already memes about eclipse back then, so I was prepared to prefer Intellij.

I tried both. Intellij is much more polished, it had some annoying bugs too, but the selling point for me was that eclipse was (is) really good at syncing every change directly to wildfly. This is a huge timesaver. The maven to eclipse plugin I think?

I’ve tried with jrebel but it’s not as quick and reliable as with eclipse.

I am fully prepared for a solution where Intellij is better so please let me know, but no one in our organisation (which has about 50 devs) has found it.

This … is actually quite accurate.

And for most cases this is perfectly fine!

Back then it was a place for us nerds, techies, early adopters.

Now it’s a place dominated by the rest of the world. Including all the bad stuff like politics, big corporations and ads.

It was nice for a while… We need a new place :-)

I don’t use Whoogle myself, but I’ve checked the code and seems like Whoogle indeed uses HTTPS when sending your query to Google.

(And as long as you are on your own private network at home you should be fine using HTTP)

Allergic to Indices? If your database is slow just add more Indices until you have one on every column of every table! :-)

LOL phrased oddly? English is not my first language.

I thought it was common knowledge that paying for something (console) and owning it was not the same these days, so I just want to know what I am buying…

Addicted to Vault Hunters right now. It’s awesome! Also it’s more a game in itself and if you come in without any prior knowledge it will be hard. There is a quest book but it doesn’t cover everything.

I’ve even joined a server!

Sounds like a good challenge… good luck!

Project Phoenix: Rebirth

According to their page on curseforge:

After 3 year of waiting for a sequel to the beloved Project Ozone 3 a small group of fans of the trilogy have come together to create what we would want to see in a Project Ozone 4.

Until now it has been a fun experience. I think it is made for more experienced modded players as the explanations are often very short and don’t give hints on how to get there, but the order of the quests is good so everything works and sometimes I need to read the manual for a modpack to see how it actually works but that’s ok.

Before this I spent a week in Encrypted_, it’s very different which was fun but I was often very lost in searching for the right steps. At some point you need some resource and I had no clue how to get there except for searching through JEI-recipes for 20 minutes. I found a tip on their discord “use beetroots for iron” and that was great, but it was not something I would have found on my own except maybe with some pure luck. The make of the modpack is new to the scene I think, so I am following him for more modpacks because he invests in a story behind the modpack which is great.

No, the message is: you might do this and don’t worry, you’ll be fine :-)

What is it?

I have no clue what partysite is.

If the containers are related you could use docker-compose, which has commands to stop / restart/ remove all containers at once.
