Only several thousand? There was a guy when I worked for Facebook who pushed a config change incrementing a timeout from 5 seconds to 30 seconds in the caching layer. Config changes roll out instantly. Brought down all of Facebook for about two hours. Probably cost them many millions. I mean, good for him.

It’ll be interesting to see how the media companies deny that this is an open admission of genocide.

According to the law (the thing that determines if something is or isn’t illegal) it’s illegal. Zuck is a criminal.

How long until someone fucks it?

If you’re white-cis-het-male, and obey all gender norms, obviously. Oh also rich.

You’re a hero.

Haha. I basically do the same thing. I tell them I can help build the PC for them, and install Windows, but I have no idea how Windows works. Last Windows I used was Windows XP.

I like the biblically accurate angel chain.

I love helping people build their own PC. I love building them myself, so helping others is just as fun.

That’s a great response. Makes me really respect the people who run Codeberg.

Boy, it sure would be bad if the US population had voted a Russian stooge into the presidency for the next four years. Oh wait…

We knew they would get dumber after ingesting their own slop, so…

Simple solution: buy a smart TV and never connect it to the internet.

Minecraft. The world isn’t infinite, but it’s really damn big.

A cunning linguist for sure.

I’ve recently started exclusively wearing Crocs. They are literally the ugliest shoes currently mass produced, but god fucking damnit they’re so fucking comfortable.

I used to have sore feet after walking a couple miles, but I recently walked 13 miles in my Crocs, and only by mile 10 or so were my feet sore. I think it’s cause I have really wide size 12 feet, and most size 12s don’t come in wide, but Crocs are just wide by default.

If they made less pug fugly Crocs, they’d be the most popular shoes in existence. Just fyi, they also eat socks like crazy. I’ve thrown away probably ten pairs of socks in the last few months, because Crocs will create gaping holes like they’re Ron Jeremy in his prime.

You can judge me all you want for wearing Crocs with socks, but I will never stop.

I think part of the problem is how awful an experience it is to read articles on most websites. I get that they need advertising revenue, but the giant ads plastered all over the articles make the experience of reading them simply awful.

Good lord. That website is unusable.

If it’s using AI, I’m not interested. AI is garbage and produces garbage code. I definitely don’t want some LLM fucking up my database.

You might want to think about running a “stable” or “LTS” OS and spin up things in Docker instead. That way you only have to do OS level updates very rarely.
