f2hex··on AI doesn't generate working products, that's still your job
Anyone who thinks this way has completely lost sight of what it means to use generative AI for software projects, namely, the concept of a tool, however sophisticated it may be, but still just a tool. The goal of a project can be anything from a prototype to a finished product, and using AI tools does not change what you want to achieve as the final result.
f2hex··on 2026: The Year of Java in the Terminal?
Java is legacy... when you started working with Python, Golang, Rust, Typescript, Swift... still need Java??
f2hex··on Zensical – A modern static site generator built by the Material for MkDocs team
Thank you for your prompt response. Your explanation clarifies things much better than the brief description in the documentation. While I still prefer YAML over TOML, I understand your reasoning.
f2hex··on Zensical – A modern static site generator built by the Material for MkDocs team
I would be interested to know why the radical change to move the configuration file from YAML to TOML. Is there any good reason for that change?
f2hex··on Show HN: XPipe, a shell connection hub for SSH, Docker, K8s, VMs, and more
Well, it would necessitate a dedicated conversation. In my opinion, there are better languages and runtimes available today to create such solutions, such as Go and Rust, to name a couple of the most suitable ones.

I believe Java is no longer an appealing choice for these types of tools, but I still like the project and its development process.

Why are we still using Java for these kinds of solutions today?
f2hex··on DevOps Is Bullshit (2022)
Oh yes... the author knows about DevOps... especially when he is writing "We have spent the past 15 years working as DevOps engineers."

DevOps is not a role is a practice. That article is really bullshit.

f2hex··on Make systemd better for Podman with Quadlet
I agree, today still better to use Docker that is more mature, Podman is half baked, lack of relevant features and moreover still very Red Hat centric, so a sort of lock-in.
f2hex··on K0s, the Smallest, Simplest Kubernetes Distribution
It seems quite interesting... I have been used k3s for several months on ARM boards and I am quite happy with it. How much differs from k3s?
f2hex··on Musical notation disguised as the oldest programming language
Well that is not completely true: if you referred to the conditional aspect there is a way to execute/repeat and branching from specific section in a score conditioned by specific situation. "Repeat with different endings": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeat_sign
f2hex··on Jellyfish Barge: Sustainable Source of Food and Water
Mainly because it uses water available on the sea: salt, brackish or polluted water. All the need for energy is fulfilled by sun power. Having in on a land would add complexity with the pipes. Moreover scarcity of water and cultivable land are the main obstacles to meet the quantitative and qualitative shifts of the world’s demand. Most of the potentially arable land is concentrated in a few geographical areas, and it is extremely scarce in many of the regions with high population growth rates, such as North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. The solution it is also modular and flexible and the capability to move it could be really useful in some circumstances.
