  • I have a kubernetes cluster inside of Proxmox vm’s, generally I write a deployment, commit it to a git repo and then use argocd to deploy it in the cluster.

    This is not something I would advise to anyone but the clinically insane, but for me there is a certain zen in having everything in git like that. It’s for me the only way I can manage the 60ish applications I run without it having a permanent spot in my brain.






  • the last part is one of my biggest annoyances. People just clicking away the dialogs that almost exactly tell what is wrong and at most just say: “yeah of gave me an error but I just clicked it away and it still didn’t work”.

    As a software developer, pretty much every error you see I made there for you to either read or screenshot and send to IT, because I had to pretty much implement each one of them. (usually with a standard library, but it’s still a deliberate choice to show it to the user)

    Real unexpected errors are hopefully written to logfiles, but that’s not always possible (try logging an error when your system disk is no longer available).

    addendum: please also include the gibberish at the end of the error, because its likely there for IT or me to find more details of this specific error in the thousands to millions of things that are logged for the software or website.



  • Personally I’m more in the “oh yes please take my job as a programmer” mindset, yet none of the currently available tools seem to be anywhere near capable of it.

    When they do, I guess I’ll just translate the b.s. customers spit into something that’s even humanly readable, just merely distilling the intent often isn’t enough. Also A.I. needs to ‘learn’ to say no, because even though the customer asks for something, doesn’t mean they actually want to have the result of their question.









  • The biggest feature of Wayland for me is mixed refreshrate monitors works OOB. On X this is a pain to get even remotely working and it’s impossible if your monitors aren’t dividable (120/60 works, 144/60 stutters).

    This is from my experience something that is starting to be a way more common issue (high refreshrate laptops with 60 external monitors at businesses or high refreshrate monitor for gaming and a smaller secondary monitor for info lookup/discord).

    other than that, Xorg does win the “more stable” prize for me, but if I wanted stability, I should’ve become a carpenter.


  • It’s quite a bad UX, but generally error 2 from make means the called program resulted into an error.

    Usually this is accompanied with another error somewhere up the log. Multiple cores can make this a challenge to scan the log for however, so maybe try compiling without the -j argument, that should get the actual error closer to the end.

    From my experience, it’s usually an outdated config for the kernel (like using a config for 5.1 while compiling 6.7) or a missing dependency. However the real error will be somewhere among the logs, who knows, maybe it’s a missing processor instruction (it’s really bad UX).
