  • Trail was excellent - my town has a well developed River walk, as does the next town east, but apparently there’s a trail connecting them! Runs right along the River so great scenery. I wasn’t looking for a hike so it’s nice and level, an easy walk.

    Funny you ask about the ice cream. All these years raising kids and I refused to let the frustrating times win. Now that they’re older, more independent, successfully raised, I commemorated challenges overcome by ordering “Exhausted Parent” - bourbon and chocolate chip!

    Edit: I don’t know how to refer to my kids anymore. They’re not little, but also not yet adult. Maybe I should say “teens”, hope I didn’t mislead. To be more specific: the younger kid graduated high school, has a summer job, and preparing for college in the fall. Huge milestone in parenting!




  • I’m actually planning to do an evaluation of a n ai code review tool to see what it can do. I’m actually somewhat optimistic that it could do this better than it can code

    I really want to sic it on this one junior programmer who doesn’t understand that you can’t just commit ai generated slop and expect it to work. This last code review after over 60 pieces of feedback I gave up on the rest and left it as he needs to understand when ai generated slop needs help

    Ai is usually pretty good at unit tests but it was so bad. Randomly started using a different mocking framework, it actually mocked entire classes and somehow thought that was valid to test them. Wasting tests on non-existent constructors no negative tests, tests without verifying anything. Most of all there were so many compile errors, yet he thought that was fine


  • My company only allows downloads from official sources, verified publishers, signed where we can. This is enforced by only allowing the repo server to download stuff and only from places we’ve configured. In general those go through a process to reduce the chances of problems and mitigate them quickly.

    We also feed everything through a scanner to flag known vulnerabilities, unacceptable licenses

    If it’s fully packaged installable software, we have security guys that take a look at I have no idea what they do and whether it’s an audit

    I’m actually going round in circles with this one developer. He needs an open source package and we already cache it on the repo server in several form factors, from reputable sources …… but he wants to run a random GitHub component which downloads an unsigned tar file from an untrusted source



  • Have you found a convenient way of generating those? And does it integrate with any password manager you might be using?

    I use Apples “Hide my email” with the password manager so I always have a randomly generated email and randomly generated password and they’re managed together. However there’s not really support for a username distinct from but in addition to email, nor a way to generate those randomly


  • It’s actually a good idea - I need to figure out how to do that.

    For the last several years I’ve used randomly generated email addresses for every account. I can turn off forwarding when they’re inevitably leaked to spammers and there’s one less thing for demographers to aggregate data on me with. That works well when every service insists on a working email address.

    But then I get lazy and use a more obvious username so I can remember it. I need to be able to auto-generate those as well







  • AA5B@lemmy.worldtoLemmy Be Wholesome@lemmy.worldThis is a cool idea.

    Even lower income people want a places they can call their own. Even lower income people prefer not to deal with other people’s noise or stomping or flooded sink. Even lower income people don’t want to deal with a building manager for repairs. Even lower income people want to be able to make choices in their living accommodations.

    Plus these are probably all factory built and I see a simple gravel foundation. Cheap and fast to set up, but it’s still a house. Probably much cheaper than full scale houses




  • I imagine there’s a significant chunk of users who don’t know or care how to properly open their server up to the world and are relying on the Plex proxies

    That seems like the obvious place to put a subscription that won’t get people upset. Or maybe it’s in the presentation.

    When HomeAssistant started a subscription, they renewed their commitment to opensource, added new remote features with obvious costs under subscription while still letting you do it yourself, plus made it clear this funded continued opensource development. I happily pay this and haven’t been disappointed. Did Plex fumble a similar opportunity?
