it's been in a pre-mortem agony for quite a while now

@D-4got10-01 which country? Technically, I live a couple of km away from a geographical centre of Europe 😁

@retoor to be fair, I miss white snowy and cold winters. I distinctly remember that my childhood winters used to be snowy all the time with a few warmer days when all was melting. The heaps of snow and temperatures below -27C [that was the threshold for NOT going to school]. I also recall February and January dropping as low as -32C [I checked bcz I was curious what temps are already a no-go for my car's diesel engine] - that was like ~7 years ago.

We haven't had real winters for quite some time now. They are warmer. Mostly wet and dirty, with only a few snowy days.

Summers.. Idk, europe keeps complaining about heat waves, but here in LT summers seem cooler. We used to have +33C+ ~half a dozen times per summer. Now we barely hit 30C once.

Idk who benefits from all this eco thing, but it makes sense to me. I want my white christmas back!!

Use protection next time 😁

@whimsical naah, it's been reserved the same day Irene deleted its account

@antigermanist you would know

@whimsical iirc this alias is currently parked by uyouthe. Irene has been impersonated at least twice

back when we still had @rutee07, @Fast-Nop, @stuxnet, @linuxxx, @Floydian / @Floydimus, @irene (the original one), @condor and a couple more, which I'm forgetting to mention... it was a good place to rant. It was an actual devRANT, not devFacebook2. You could read all kinds of absurd stories.

Now it's more of a habit to open up dR. The content is rarely any good, mostly childish posts desperately hoping for any attention

@whimsical @wojtek322 is right. I clicked on that post initially and waaaaaaited for it to load, then I apparently misclicked on your post and didn't read again before jotting down my worthless opinion :)

@antigermanist how on Earth can you miss a seat....?

I guess you have a condition that only allows you to ride a feminine bike after all. Preferably with side wheels

Or you can do a little bit of both. Works best for my use cases.

Define high-level plans in advance with contract layers set or partially set, define epics and their DoDs, assume they will work, and split all of them into tasks, divide across teams. Let them figure out ["carve out"] the solutions. Then in the end make final adjustments to both impl and contracts and voila. All teams were creating value, client had a pretty good definition of what's going to happen, with some RnD DoDs have been achieved.

Bear in mind muskets were very inaccurate back then. You aim for a belly and you hit a squirrel in a tree kind of inaccurate

Shove the ice cream up your butt and vomit your bowels out

well I'm not!

There may have been a hunch of autumn blues in the early morning, as I was sipping coffee in the balcony while watching the morning sunlight playfully shining on trees' leaves and listening to lofigirl tunes, but that's about it.

On a more serious note:
- 1 cup of warm water
- 3 reaspoons of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of salt

dissolve, drink it all, do your best to keep it down. Should start working after 30-60min.

Sacharose is split by intestinal sucrase into monomer sugars - glucose, which then feed active ionic carriers in your intestines. They carry Na from the salt into your blood stream, rapidly increasing osmotic pressure there -- water from your intestines will follow right away

grandma's recipe. Tried and true

Use the right tools

Shower

Flush

@MM83 wtf.. This begs for a util.js and an isNaN() inside. And whatever twisted magic it takes -- encapsulate it there, out of anyone's sight

@AmyShackles mine have been dissolved by lime. I'm tearing down some ~100yo walls, built using lime -- it chews through skin as good as sandpaper :)

but yeah, doing crimes is now on the table 😁

@whimsical still, please update the metainfo. General courtesy

@retoor ps if you ever switch to hcloud, stay in Germany. Finnish servers have unstable networking. Messed up my rke2 clusters far too many times..

@retoor I guess it is a server in a way.. It's my custom linux-based home router. 😁

I've been using hetxnet for years, then switched from robot to hcloud - now instead of 50€ I pay 8€ and it perfectly delivers for my needs

@retoor can you also pop some info in your bots' metadata about their maintainer? i.e. if any of them go haywire, whom are they to be reported to? And maybe some general info explaining the purpose of the bot? Their names don't explain a whole lot tbh

@retoor had to restart my router, forgot to start up the bot :)

@antigermgerm I need Gemini to explain all of that

Who knows, if you gave yourself a long enough break from this constant headbanging, maybe smth will click inside after a month, a year or two and you will be back to your pre-covid self? Maybe you won't even want to be the old you after finding chill and happiness elsewhere?

Thing about it.

You don't MUST be in IT :) it was your choice. You surely have accumulated other skills in your life - maybe use them now. Maybe you have a hobby you could monetize. Maybe farming -- eggs are profitable nowadays, I hear 😁

maybe use your contacts and start your own business, puppeteering other devs/devops and managing client relations and risks yourself, leaving tech work for your minions?
