CORN. I see why they tried to get creative with "comBat". Dumb name for a dumb group.

Do you think the government should regulate who can or cannot have children? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's kind of the point. You want the sheep to think they are burning down society for some do-good ideology while the politicians sidestep the government into a into dictatorship or other kind of single party authoritarian system. Regardless, the politicians of the new government will be just fine.

No. It might be in a politicians best interest to ensure a population stays dumb and then ensure those dumb people raise even dumber children.

Don't "have conversations" with an LLM. Give it instructions to reference information and it may fill in any gaps for you.

If you ask an LLM is something is justified, you are likely breaking the contex of your chat and any further output it generates.

Understand how LLMs work before you start treating it like a human.

Two nodes with different antenna gains? in c/meshtastic@mander.xyz

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Harmonic frequencies are more likely to be an issue.

If you have an antenna transmitting at 2.4ghz, you will also see subharmonic bumps at 1.2ghz, 800mhz, etc. A receiver at 800mhz could potentially get "washed out", or overpowered, by a 2.4ghz transmitter that is too close simply because of subharmonics.

Transmitters aren't perfect either. While you can get really strong transmissions at very specific frequencies that can propagate really far, electronics resonate at many frequencies and that resonance will make it to a TX antenna as noise.

Unless the antennas are designed to work together, you shouldn't put them that close together. (I am also speculating that in extreme cases, a weird configuration like that could detune the transmitter antenna in a such a way that it would blow out the transmission circuit. I dunno about that though.)

Lemmy.ml mods are extremely strict, aren't they? in c/yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Yeah, I tried to steer clear commenting on whatever people choose to follow politically or socially. It is a highly curated echo-chamber, is my point. (Most social media rabbit holes are echo-chambers, but ml wins awards for that.)

Just ignore ml. If you got banned for not knowing their version of whatever, you probably are just going to get banned again later.

For once, I am not knocking on ml for being ml, it's just a very odd instance when it comes to social interaction. You must subscribe to the hive mind 100% ... or else.

Brown rice has more nutrients which makes it ideal for fungi and bacteria growth, if anyone was wondering. (I start developing mycelium in brown rice for just that reason.)

My friend is buying a new PC and he is deciding between air cooler and AIO, which should be get? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Air, water, AIO, whatever. If it cools well, use it. I just prefer AIOs and there really isn't any maintenance, was my main point. There are always tradeoffs between AIO, air or a proper water rig, so there is that. (Fans are crazy quiet these days, but when I made the switch, it was mainly for noise. I always run an overclock, so my fans were always hauling ass which probably isn't needed now.)

Ultimately, I prefer AIOs for the way airflow is managed. It's not better or worse than air in many instances, but I like working with a radiator rather than a chonky heatsink.

I cannot disagree though: zero maintenance is better than maybe-maintenance. Like I said, it's about tradeoffs. (I can still make my PC sound like a fucking jet engine, though. Noctua server fans kick ass.)

I have been exclusively using AIOs for years now. Generally, by the time they need maintenance, its already time for a major hardware update and rebuild anyway. That is, of course, if it is serviceable. This depends on the quality of the AIO you buy, TBH. I had a first-gen Corsair AIO start to get audible air bubbles on startup, but it's long since been recycled.

I am sure other people have some kind of horror story about an AIO leaking or something, but in general, they don't really need to be maintained if it actually is a sealed system.

Bug Report

Describe the issue: Just feed scrolling lag. I noticed it this time after page 20, with about 1Gb in process memory. (It seems to take a bit more scrolling now to see issues.)

Keep doom scrolling.

Bug Report

Describe the issue: Lemmy doom scrolling gets super laggy over 400mb memory usage. App ram usage is estimated as I can only see temporary app cache through Android dev settings when the app gets kicked into the background. Memory usage will mostly self-clear, but it takes a bit.

Steps to reproduce:

Doom scrolling FTW!

I am looking for a basic web dev framework that is lightweight and focused around modularity. [Spoiler: I have no idea what I'm talking about!] (lemmy.ca)

submitted 1 month ago by remotelove@lemmy.ca to c/webdev@programming.dev

3 comments fedilink

My background: Long time IT security engineer here that can code when I need. For dev experience, I have worked with various languages over the years like assembly, C/C++, js, typescript, PERL, python, etc. When needed, I can hack out a specialized tool but I am absolutely not a professional developer.

My ask: I just want a simple web framework that I don't need to think about too much. There are a few ideas I have regarding security analyst workflow in a SIEM-type of environment and need a way to code simple tools as basic snap-ins to a central analysis console.

The ELK stack serves a inspiration (specifically Kibana). However, there is so much more I want to build into an security specific analysis console and building it one snap-in at a time seems manageable over time.

What is the current flavor of the day regarding Web app dev frameworks that might function how I want? What frameworks would be compatible with a broad audience over a long period of time? (I never liked open source applications that use super niche libraries or frameworks that become obsolete and stale after a few months.)

I hope I was able to describe clearly enough what I am looking for. I would google around for ideas, but I simply don't know the correct questions to ask about this kind of thing until I get more up-to-speed.

[ Bug / ??? ] Finally found the source of a hung feed! (lemmy.ca)

submitted 1 month ago by remotelove@lemmy.ca to c/lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca

I turned off "Preload Images" and my feed hasn't hung since. There is still a tiny bit of wait time while the next group of posts gets cached in the feed (maybe < 1 second) and this is usually when post pre-loading would fail and hang the feed completely.

If for whatever reason, if an image can't be preloaded it'll hang the feed? Maybe if a post gets deleted on one instance and, because fediverse, it may still be listed by my home instance? A failed cross-instance image load does sound like an interesting theory for root cause.

Cannot select text from comment that you are replying to
Selecting text on your comment is appended with multiple spaces if there is no punctuation.

to reproduce: create post or reply, press and hold the last word of the sentence with no ending punctuation

Text selection can become "sticky". (Unknown cause) Moving cursor around on a comment in progress results in the text selection bar that cannot be turned off. Connect restart is required.

[ Almost fixed / 297 ] Post alignment(?) may move up past top of screen and get hidden by post menu [Not sure if the post edits are showing in this post. more details were added.] (lemmy.ca)

Single pull-down refresh breaks post alignment.

~~Multiple pull-down actions may cause the offset of the post to slowly creep up and I under the post menu and almost off the top of the screen. OR, when the post is opened, the post will load with proper alignment and then shift itself up.

This seems to happen within the first few actions on opening Connect and it may self-resolve if the post is opened again, but not always.~~

Edit: ~~There is something wrong with that specific post in the screenshots. Other posts work fine, that one does not.~~ Its happening on this post now too.

Post is fully scrolled down, post title gets covered:
