@internetsdairy pretty sure that’s about how long it would take to watch every episode of every incarnation of the show.
@internetsdairy it’s alright. Sci-fi that mostly doesn’t take itself too seriously, good easy viewing.
My taxi driver on the proliferation of flags along the route home “oh, I think they’re just trying to send a message to the government”. I don’t think he was ready for me spending the rest of the journey shooting down his straw man arguments. “You can’t call that many people racists”. Just fucking watch me buddy.
What is the phenomenon that causes all TV shows to eventually make a fake documentary set in the world of their TV show? Is it that script writers have a burning desire to tell the story of how hard it is making TV?
@an0key sadly I don’t even slightly trust Google to redirect that money to the people who’s ads are being skipped rather than this week’s messaging app.
@an0key in summary, automated ad skipping is good but a model that doesn’t depend on the whims of multinational corporation’s marketing departments would be even better.
@an0key I’m split on how I feel about that. From my perspective it’s great, I skip the ads with minimal effort, but I’m also aware those ad reads are in many cases the difference between making money on a video or not, and if the companies buying them see the audience they want to hit are skipping them the whole house of cards collapses.
@an0key at least on the TV app I’ve been added to what appears to be a test group for skipping over those bits exactly (presumably based on data from other people’s skipping) which is marked as a YouTube Premium feature.
@fromjason @catsalad speed running a bubble pop with this one I see.
@andrew it is indeed a lovely architecture to work with for most things (with a few hairy edge cases for stuff where you really do just want to take an action right now, and if reconciliation is delayed by more than a few seconds there’s no point doing it later).
@andrew not sure if it quite counts as a framework, but AWS IoT (and most IoT devices in practice) use the same sort of reconciliation loop. Client pushes desired state to a central data store which then gets replicated to a device, the device takes that state, adjusts to accommodate it, and sends a reported state back for the client.
Just walked into the kitchen to find my washing machine seems to be draining into the cupboard under the sink, which isn’t an ideal setup. Guess I’ve got some plumbing in my future.
HR, giving a safety meeting:
Staring at a screen for 8 hours is bad for you.
Sitting for 8 hours is bad for you.
Standing for 8 hours is bad for you.
Me: So, you're saying the 40 hour work week is unhealthy, and unsustainable?
@arclight holy shit, that’s fantastic. Please look after it, and donate it to a museum in your will.
@dave this is up against products like AWS Transfer, which in its most basic configuration costs $216/month. Half the finance industry runs on CSVs being sent via SFTP to other places, and in that industry $600/month for SOCS compliance is pocket change.
@0xabad1dea hey, at least it’s not a zip file in a PowerPoint presentation.
I will say it always impresses me when I want to do something like this on the Deck and I can just plug my USB-C dock in and drop down into a fully functional KDE environment at my desk to set it up.
Instead of going to bed I set up a PSX emulator on my Steam Deck because someone said that version of Final Fantasy VII is much better than the PC one. It does indeed look prettier thanks to CRT filters, but also my save game has vanished and it crashes when using magic, so not a complete success yet.
I was going to grab my Steam Deck and play a game about an hour ago but it would mean standing up from the sofa so instead I’ve been aimlessly reading the internet, a decision I definitely do not regret.
@ultrazool @jarkman containerisation has its advantages but if you’re doing it for cheap interchangeable compute that’s not really compatible with running a SQL database, so you’ll end up paying as much again (or more) for someone to host Postgres for you. If you can get away with SQLite, and host the API and UI in a single container Fly have some interesting options that could work though.
@gvwilson it is, but unfortunately it’s now got to spend 90% of that time on the last 10% because it’s unable to break fundamental laws of software engineering.
@daburudar @fesshole take the didn’t happens back to Twitter. Who cares if it happened or not? It’s an amusing anonymous story on the internet, not a testimony in court.
@SuperMoosie @fesshole we don’t need this nonsense here. Take it back to Twitter.
