I enjoy technology, terminal, dev, servers, linux, old tech, business etc...

I also like coffee, whisky, bread, photography and others.

But here I am going to limit myself to the first part. To the other ones, check my other profiles: https://gts.brunofontes.net/@me

In the list below, there is one fatal error. All others are working as expected, except for the fact that they probably should yield an error and be not legit.

The error says : "Cannot use [] for reading".

Did you guess the one?

brunofontes,

@dseguy I would guess the ??= 3

My rent went up in September, and I have auto payments enabled. I calculated the new value and set it to go automatically. Like magic, it goes out on time. I get an email back that my payment is short $0.70. Somehow I miscalculated and missed it by that much. No big deal, it says if the value is less than $25 just to add it to next month's payment.

And it keeps telling me that.

Every.
Single.
Day.

Paying that $0.70 requires a $3.00 processing fee?

sigh

brunofontes,

@mike sorry, but that made me laught. hahahha

brunofontes,

@djlink It brings way too many good memories. :) I used to do that a lot.

I once had a security expert tell me that "some malicious applications uses python3-urllib - therefore python3-urllib should be considered malicious"

brunofontes,

@selea @portaloffreedom you are thinking small. This is easily scalable to the internet, computers and smart devices.

Our industry has a death-by-a-thousand-cuts problem with subscription fees.

Cloud services, software fees, memberships, paid-tiers, pay for commercial use, paid plugins & themes, etc, etc.

For small, solo, part-time, or freelance developers this adds up really fast to untenable levels. 💰

So far I've managed to keep this in check, despite there being a lot of things I'd love to use in my work. I seek out free or options when I can.

1/x

brunofontes,

@syntaxseed that's specially true when you are in a Country with a general lower income. Internal prices are way lower, international customers negociate to pay you less as you live in a "cheaper place" and 10 USD is, by nature, heavier in our pockets due to currency convertion, extra taxes to "protect local marketing" etc.

Those of you who host servers using third party server hosters, who do you rent one from? I'm thinking of doing the same right now, as I'm not able to use my own hardware for it.

brunofontes,

@runarcn Contabo. Cheap and always worked fine for my little vps

@kev@fosstodon.org avatar

It's getting a little crowded in the garage with all these motorbikes. 😂

brunofontes,

@kev this is something I find very interesting, but at the same time I am too scared of them to try. Not by the bikes themselves, but because I know me when I am in a bicycle, and here, where I live, we have an awful disrespect between cars and motocycles (from both sides).

brunofontes,

@kev @mike hahahahhahaha I knew a guy who used to drive a bike just as if he was in a car. In the middle of the street line, respecting everything, far from the cars etc. But a car ignored a red traffic light in speed and sent him to the hospital. I wasn't old enought to drive at that time (we can only drive here at 18yo), but I started being afraid from that.

brunofontes,

@kev @mike hahaha I'm glad you are fine after that! People are really not paying attention to traffic nowadays

brunofontes,

@256 how I miss those times... :) Everything was an adventure. Installing a Win95 CD version after copying 32 3 1/2" floppy disks compacted with arj and seeing it being installed for the first time, installing Win 98 and discovering the new things...

brunofontes,

@Gina I love woodworking and this is NICE!

Screw it. Those peeps I still follow on X/Twitter or whatever the f*ck it is now… I am no longer following you, instead I will sink to the low of following you on the Fediverse using one of those mirror servers. I am done giving those devs on “X” (cringe) the false impression that I approve of “X”. I do not. I really hope they move to somewhere else…

  • Christoph Rumpel
  • Povilas Korop
  • Caleb Pozio
  • Laracasts/Jeffrey Way
  • Matt Kingshott
  • Laravel Daily

Convince me otherwise.

brunofontes,

@outofcontrol Internet and capitalism is about voting. You vote with your money and your access. If you don't like something and you are still using it, then you are voting against yourself. So, yes, keep only using the places that you enjoy and agree.

There is not a single time I have to use Microsoft related stuff that I don't get completely frustated. 2 different windows for the same configuration, but the obvious one has no option and what you have is hidden in a secondary one. Local configuration that must be set up in a website. Basic things that are not configurable.

Worse yet, Google appears to be starting to follow the same way.

if you use Linux on your personal computer: what do you like about it?

I used to be super into customizing my window manager, but now I mostly like that it's so easy to install software, and that the environment is the same as on a Linux server

(please no arguing about whether people "should" use Linux on their personal computers, I'm just curious about why you personally like it)

brunofontes,

@b0rk I enjoy the fact that I can adapt it to my needs and, when something breaks, I have tools to solve it, instead of waiting for someone to solve it somehow.

I also like to know what is going on, instead of looking at a "We found a problem! Click 'Yes' to fix! Sorry, it was not possible to fix the problem, please try again later...".

Last and not least, Windows is getting worse and worse, so it makes no sense to use it anymore for me.

Someone just blocked me for telling them CVEs are discussed in private, even in open source projects, before they are announced to the rest of the community. 😂

brunofontes,

@ramsey does the person prefer to have the CVE being publicly available before anyone knows how to solve it? hahahahaha Seems very safe!

is completely down. Their servers aren’t even responding at all.

brunofontes,

@ramsey It appears to be an update.

brunofontes,

@ramsey it loaded here, slowly, but with a different home (well, I don't usually open the home page, but it appeared to different). After a full refresh (Ctrl+F5) it loaded faster.

brunofontes,

@ramsey errr no, forget about it. I just realized it was the first time I visited their home page being logged on in a very long time. But coincidentely it came back to life right when I opened it, so it appeared to be an issue updating something.

brunofontes,

@ramsey Because I opened it and it was different and a bit broken, but starting to load. So, for a moment, it seemed an UI redesign on which something went wrong during deployment.

brunofontes,

@ramsey hum, maybe! I don't use GitHub too much, but it makes sense...

@grmpyprogrammer@phpc.social avatar

A non-programming friend asked me why I don’t use AI “assistants” or ChatGPT to help me solve coding problems. 1) I don’t trust that the examples or answers it provides work 2) I have issues with slurping up other people’s work and using it without permission.

A large swathe of our industry is cheering the effort to have programmers reduced to cleaning up the bullshit that is auto-generated by other programs in addition to cleaning up the bullshit generated by humans.

brunofontes,

@grmpyprogrammer And I see a lot of posts/videos persuading people with "Oh, I should be the only one not using AI, but I ran a test and it really helped me" or "It improves your speed by 10x to 20x". I am just waiting to see all the debugging.

Installing Debian 12 now. Wish me luck.

brunofontes,

@RL_Dane @sotolf @benjaminhollon I do use JS, but it is not on my top list. But electron... err... Well, being paid well for that I would be ok, otherwise is a no.

brunofontes,

@sotolf @RL_Dane @benjaminhollon Is there a crazy migration way of doing it, the same way there is to migrate to Arch? Or is it necessary to do a reinstall?

brunofontes,

@RL_Dane @sotolf @benjaminhollon Yeah, I don't think I will have time enought to setup everything again in one weekend or something like that. There are too many automated stuff and personal configurations, shortcuts etc etc. Chaging the package source would eventually do the trick, though. Not perfectly, but better than having to find all done, search for everything, remember to find all config files from services etc etc.
