reppap··on How I protect my Forgejo instance from AI web crawlers
It's not just companies either, a lot of people run crawlers for their home lab projects too.
reppap··on Rust in the kernel is no longer experimental
Insane people have decided that Rust is on the "woke" side of the culture war. Reading the phoronix comment section is hilarious because any post about rust devolves into a bunch of boomers whining about "blue-haired woke rust programmers" and other nonsense.
reppap··on Zig quits GitHub, says Microsoft's AI obsession has ruined the service
GitHub frontpage is very quick indeed, but browsing repos can sometimes have load times over a full second for me. Especially when it's less popular repos less likely to be in a cache.
reppap··on Zig quits GitHub, says Microsoft's AI obsession has ruined the service
One thing that's really nice about codeberg is how fast the pages load. Browsing GitHub often feels very sluggish. Obviously there's a difference in scale there, but I hope codeberg can keep being fast.
reppap··on Modern cars are spying on you. Here's what you can do about it
No, I will use all this stuff and do so gladly.
reppap··on Dilution vs. Risk taking: Capital gains taxes and entrepreneurs
> Notable examples are that we are paying more in Interest than for military at the federal level,

It is interesting to me that the party that runs on fiscal responsibility is the one that runs the highest deficits despite having a lower amount of GDP growth.

reppap··on McDonald's is losing its low-income customers
I'm not suggesting everyone would be a millionaire with a more egalitarian distribution of wealth. But, to suggest America's skyrocketing inequality has nothing to do with the poor being unable to afford a burger is a bold claim to make.

Because if the wealthy are not extracting their fortunes from American companies, what then?

reppap··on McDonald's is losing its low-income customers
Don't forget company leaderships and stock owners taking more and more profit out of companies than ever.
reppap··on Go's Sweet 16
I like that I can understand a Go file without deciphering 15 layers of macros.
reppap··on When Tesla's FSD works well, it gets credit. When it doesn't, you get blamed
We're just waiting for AI code in a Therac-25 type device.
reppap··on Samsung Family Hub for 2025 Update Elevates the Smart Home Ecosystem
Not in Europe if that's the case. I've monitored what my LG does and it's basically nothing.
reppap··on A Note on Fil-C
Re: borrow checker

Isn't it just enforcing something you should be doing in every language anyway, i.e. thinking about ownership of data.

reppap··on Data breach at major Swedish software supplier impacts 1.5M
Afaik this breach also contained a lot of data about medical condition related to workplaces.
reppap··on You Don't Need Anubis
First of all Anubis isn't meant to protect simple websites that gets read once. It's meant for things like a gitlabs instance where AI bots are indexing every single commit of every single file. Resulting in thousands of not millions of reads. And reading an Anubis page once isn't expensive either. So I don't really understand what point you are trying to make as the premise seems completely wrong.
reppap··on Affinity Studio now free
Personally I think it's great I both get the app for free and they remove all the AI from it. Couldn't get any better!
reppap··on An overengineered solution to `sort | uniq -c` with 25x throughput (hist)
Would you take half the wheels off a car to compare it to a motorcycle?
reppap··on Harnessing America's heat pump moment
You can break even on solar panels in 10-15 years in Sweden where I live and we're pretty damn northerly.
reppap··on Claude Haiku 4.5
If you completely ignore inference revenue needing to offset training costs. Is inference still profitable if you account for the amortized training cost?
reppap··on Things I've learned in my 7 years implementing AI
Agreed. We don't know if AI is another asbestos or not, yet.
reppap··on How I'm using Helix editor
I suspect editor choices are not super rational. A lot of it comes down to what feels right, new, exciting, engaging, and not so much what is theoretically optimal.
reppap··on Igalia, Servo, and the Sovereign Tech Fund
It is possible to do more than one thing.
reppap··on Pop OS 24.04 LTS Beta
I've been daily driving Gnome on Fedora for years and literally nothing about it is broken. We're having very different experiences.
