  • Ouch yeah that windows endpoint stuff is really rattling though. I get you just can’t whitelist some folder without compromising security, but when the “eNdPoInt pRoTeCtIon” just removes dlls and exes you are compiling (and makes your PC crawl) you really hate that shit.

    Right click? 40 seconds plz (maybe any of the possible contextual right clicks might be on a virus so lets just check them all once again).

    At home I have an old linux pc, and it blows those corpo super pcs out the window.

    Rant off :-D

    Ah yeah, IT people are chill, always be cool with them is also a good idea, not their fault all this crap exists.







  • Bought a RX 6400 for a little windoze game box, and shelled out around 30€ /35€ more at a conventional well known shop here, materiel dot net. Bought most of my stuff there over the years, nice people, etc.

    But I couldn’t just go get it, it “had to” be delivered, so I paid for that too (I guess you do the same on Amazon), high class delivery or so I thought. Ordered thursday, scheduled delivery “wednesday 8h-19h” so okay I WFH but man better be there every minute right?

    Got a confirmation SMS/Text around 12, we’re delivering your package today! (No more info).

    Surprise, they didnt.

    Suddenly it’s scheduled “Thursday 8h-19h”.

    Grrr

    I bet I would have gotten my card on saturday if I had used amazon (+30€ too…).

    I mean are brick & mortar stores dead now for real maybe?






  • I hate jira because it slots your work stupidly by the management, or so I feel it.

    A manager usually works with time slots, say 8 a day (or whatever), they are all mostly disconnected, like do meeting with A, go to standup of team B, PMD for dev C etc etc. Dev isn’t like that but everyone seems to start thinking it is: how many “items” was finalised last “sprint” etc and other stupid metrics.

    Am I alone here or is there even worse things with jira in your opinions?







  • Nice!

    You do need a link to some data as a bootstrap to node adresses, there is a test link on tenfingers.org you can try using, it downloads a small text file but also adds my live nodes address to your known addresses when you use it.

    Or you can just set up two local nodes on 127.0.0.1 with two different ports, run their listeners, add data to them, extract the links and, download from the ‘other’ node to see how things hook up and so on.

    The links as tenfingers.db are sqlite databases, so they are easily inspected.
