Daily grief of a (taking over) developer, part #666:

Wie immer komplett ohne Code-Kommentierung. In diesem Projekt der Goldene Standard *kotz*

Nein, der "Entwickler", der das Zeug verbrochen hat, hat es geschafft,

a) KEIN Copy & Paste zu benutzen - volle Punktzahl
b) und deshalb innerhalb von weniger als 10 Zeilen Code die Variablennamen falsch zu schreiben ("buttom_role" statt "bottom_role") - voller Punktabzug *tischkantebeiss*

Und Leute: Das war LANGE VOR Vibe-Coding und Äh-Ei 😭

A total conversion mod for Discourse to make it look and work like Discord (to further confuse the difference between the two).

Our LNDHub and BTCPay servers will be down for maintenance for a short period, starting soon.

Thanks for your patience.

Reminder in response to yet another billing incident involving insanely high surprise charges (<https://discuss.ai.google.dev/t/unexpected-54k-billing-spike-in-13-hours-firebase-browser-key-without-api-restrictions-used-for-gemini-requests/140262>):

The Purpose of a Billing System Is What It Does

See also: mrkurt commenting on why Fly.io also went with the standard playbook of having no limits on spending and refused to let you set a self-service hard cap so you wouldn't end up with a 54000 MNY bill: "putting work into features specifically to minimize how much people spend seems like a good way to fail a company."

Drinking coffee from a straw after a dentist visit. The only reasonable next course of action is to make use of the Cocktail Night at the local pub.

I can't tell if this is satire or not:

Do we have any bets on when Vance is going to switch from Catholic to Russian Orthodox?

Anubis should be dual-licensed AGPL and Commercial, instead of just MIT and then making it annoying af to customize the content and styles if you're not a paying sponsor.

Do I really have to host a soft fork of it, just so we can change the branding?

And thus, the Vance Effect strikes again...(This time for a better world result)

...Bets on when China starts escorting ships through Hormuz Strait, with the blessings of Iran...and this essentially makes the dollar worthless for oil in the world?

Any bets on the twit doing something to upstage the astronaut return to earth in a few hours?

Devs, shill me your favorite Postgres TUI if you're using one and you enjoy it.

Sorry for the downtime of kosmos.social just then. We migrated the database server to a newer version in preparation for Mastodon upgrades, and didn't expect more than a few minutes of downtime initially.

New features coming soon!

Aufgedeckt hat es die Presse – nicht das Parlament. Erst danach kam die Empörung. Von allen Seiten. Reichlich spät.

Opposition bedeutet nicht nur Nein-stimmen im Plenum, sondern auch, Gesetze aktiv zu durchleuchten und die Öffentlichkeit proaktiv aufzuklären. 2/2

https://www.swr.de/swraktuell/baden-wuerttemberg/wehrpflichtgesetz-maenner-bundeswehr-auslandsreise-faq-100.html

Die Opposition hat gegen das Wehrdienstgesetz gestimmt – trotzdem diese Klausel nie erwähnt: Seit 2026 brauchen alle Männer (17–45) eine Genehmigung für Auslandsaufenthalte über 3 Monate. Dauerhaft. Auch ohne Wehrpflicht.

Kein Wort in der Gesetzesbegründung. Kein Thema in der Ausschussanhörung. 1/2

Do we have bets that Mrs. Trump has been told that Putin is about to release the files they have?

I have a feeling that everyone likes using AI tools to try doing someone else’s profession. They’re much less keen when someone else uses it for their profession.

Keine Farben Vol. 7 – Part #2

Second part of Keine Farben, Volume 7. Its very EBM / Electro-focused, and touch wee bit of Industrial towards the end.
This is exactly as planned. The first show in the month is primarly focused on Punk / Post-Punk / Coldwave / Goth, while the last show in the month also features lots of EBM and dark electro.

Playlist below this post.

Keine Farben Vol. 7, Part #1

Last friday was a bit quiet, and also I had to start later than planned, because I was completely wasted from work.

But live we go, cause music therapy, and stuff.

So here is the first part of Keine Farben, Volume 7. Playlist below.

Shouldn't the focus on LLMs and the incorporation of them into workflows have by now started to look towards "lowering" (as in compilers/autocoding) the workflows that involve/depend on them into ones that instead use pseudo-natural language processing systems (like Inform7) to provide conversational interfaces, instead of wasting all that expensive compute on what often turn out to be rolls of the dice trying to get the LLM to do the right thing?
