@nixCraft it's doesn't have to be... Mine are all local network. I do use a mqtt server, though could do direct http to the lights too.
We've made a choice to make everything cloud connected, because consumers value only price and convenience and manufacturers only look for profit

@nixCraft I honestly find embarrassing that to print a file in my local library I need to email it and it will likely do a journey around the world before reaching the printer which is one step away from me. I'm happy I don't have to connect an untrusted USB to my phone, but I wish there were a middle ground with a local and secure by default protocol.

@nixCraft And the sysadmin/SRE is the one who writes Golang templates to generate YAML that configures a system that configures a system that configures a system that configures a system that configures a system...

@nixCraft ERROR!! food not found CRITICAL ERROR!! fridge is empty 🤣

@nixCraft this would be great for parallelizing automated smoke tests of apps

@nixCraft It's a Matrix pod, only it's unscrupulous and manipulative humans mercilessly exploiting innocent cellphones who think they're living on a real network. :blobcatsad:​

@nixCraft
This is fascinating!

@nixCraft would adding:

```
IdentitiesOnly yes
```

also be useful?

@nixCraft omg lol i spent years installing/reinstalling arch on laptop, desktop, anywhere i could… What was i working through??

@nixCraft just an fyi, Fastfetch is an awesome alternative to Neofetch that runs quite a bit quicker: https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch

Congrats on the new computer! I've heard Thinkpads are great!

@nixCraft
Of course

@nixCraft The great thing about inheritance is that it gives you access to protected methods.

@nixCraft take my boost and go away

@nixCraft Establish a monopoly using a singleton.

@nixCraft haha @ticky

@nixCraft@mastodon.social LMAO what the fuck 😂

@nixCraft I’m saving this for an internal presentation.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Kill yourself

@nixCraft LOL!

@nixCraft

Meh, randos who paid for the checkmark...

@nixCraft The sadder engineers seem to be peeing on the old pile of complexity.

@nixCraft Still the Nvidia CEO claims “Coding is dead. Don’t bother to learn to code.”

@nixCraft

When you are trying to solve a problem using REGEX you now have two problems.

@nixCraft Pine64 is gonna that someday. Call it Pinecil Pro.

@nixCraft how inactive Lemmy is comments-wise compared to Reddit is proof of this theory for me.

@nixCraft I didn't know that this was a disputed theory

@nixCraft You can’t say that, and at the same time brag that the #Linux Desktop is now over 4% ;)

@nixCraft Gotta protect that source code at all costs! 💪😂

@nixCraft To be fair, it sounds like they weren't protecting it very well so maybe that's an improvement?

If they have been copying opensource they must protect it as to not be exposed as thieves.

@nixCraft

I love the fact that Linus is wearing a Doom T-shirt with a signature of Dave Tayler from id Software in this picture.

@nixCraft Pretty cool. Honestly, I thought this was Bill Hicks, Anthony Kiedis, and Ricky Gervais at first.

@nixCraft

Nvidia : Learn farming, not programming.
Farmer : [Jailbreaks tractor] Ok, now I can actually use it properly.

@nixCraft Aye, I did raise an eyebrow over the "Don't learn coding, kids, let AI do it". Noteworthy coming from someone rolling in cash from the AI train.

@nixCraft AI is doing nothing to help with the loud spinning fan noise and crashing proprietary driver.

“I myself shall certainly continue to leave such research to others, and to devote my time to developing concepts that are authentic and trustworthy. And I hope you do the same.”

@nixCraft unsafe { <write your program here> }

@nixCraft Finally all the C and C++ books I purchased on Humble over the years pay off!

@nixCraft I remember when ADA was a preferred language for NATO (?) contracts for the 'if it compiles, it works' rationale. So, good luck refactoring the kernel of choice to rust.

@nixCraft 😂😂

@nixCraft
Oh I hope he buys microsoft! The year of the linux desktop!

@nixCraft
Probably never bought the laptop, just heard someone else say it ans thought that would be good to tweet, everyone will have something to say, driver traffic on twitsville and I will get reported in the media, so it looks like twitsville is still relevant

@nixCraft I expect that going public will show what a big, and quickly exploding bubble reddit actually is. I won't get anywhere near those shares. I will spend my money on more worthwhile investments.

@nixCraft
It has always puzzled me why anyone would post to (support) such an obnoxious platform with its unbelievably terrible interface.

@nixCraft Frankly, if anyone still moderates reddit then it's most probably because of the power fantasy. Why would you fuck up your daily life to do clean up 12hrs a day?

@nixCraft WezTerm FTW.

@nixCraft utterly worthless.

@nixCraft
I'm wary of closed source terminal emulators, even though I have to admit some look damn nice and usable : https://panic.com/prompt/

@nixCraft almost fell asleep using an electric saw :blobsweats:

@nixCraft Turn keyboar upside down, get cotton, hot glue it to the keyboard, order new keyboard, sleep

@nixCraft@mastodon.social

If you do succumb, make sure to post a picture of what key-imprints were left on your face, afterwards.
