  • Was quick browsing for openwrt and found the banana pi r3.

    One thing that surprised me when I was looking to upgrade my old router ith OpenWRT is if a firmware for your router supports ALL of the features/hardware of that router. In my case, Wifi support was not supported, so I had to disregard using OpenWRT as a choice.

    So be sure to look carefully at the firmware that you find. I personally had just thought that if a firmware exists for your hardware that all of the major (but maybe not minor) features would be supported, and that is not always the case.

    For what it’s worth, most of your comments aren’t eligible for copyright; they aren’t sufficiently original or information-packed. Just like @onlinepersona@programming.dev and their licensing efforts, it’s mostly a vanity to attach a license to unoriginal one-line throwaway jokes. I wouldn’t say that it’s arrogant so much as lacking in self-awareness; a one-liner must be deeply insightful, contain a pun or paraprosdokian, address the current zeitgeist, or otherwise be memorable above and beyond the time and place that contextualized it.

    I disagree. And last I checked, I have awareness on the subject. It’s been discussed very often with me here on Lemmy (much less on Reddit for some reason).

    Your measurement of what is content is not legally factual. One’s opinions, of any length (and I think it’s safe to say that my opining has not been short in nature) is legally considered as content.

    You may not like my content, but it doesn’t mean you can disavow it as content in the first place.

    And once more, as a friendly reminder. If you feel my content is not content, feel free to block me.

    I do stand by what I said about derailing a conversation though, I would say that to anyone, under the same circumstances.

    I don’t think gatekeeping others with “you can only talk about the thread topic” is a healthy way to do that, so we diverge there.

    I’m not going to stop doing it and, if you look around, you’ll see plenty of others doing it too, so I’m in good company there.

    It’s nicer if we let conversation flow naturally and don’t set arbitrary constraints - the mods can do that via the community rules if they want to but, again, you won’t find many examples of that either.

    My understanding is that derailing any conversation, hijacking it, has been frowned up socially, both in 1) social media (since the days of dialing into BBS sites with our modems), as well as 2) in real life. Something that is considered harmful/distractful to the ACTUAL conversation being had.

    Fun fact. “Conversation Hijacking” is even used in nefarious ways as part of social engineering to get into your computer (actually true, look it up). That it is a type of phishing scam.

    Are you saying that is no longer the case, that it is ok to derail/hijack a conversation?

    The links I supplied above seem to say otherwise, and that’s my understanding of the current consensus of the Internet/Humanity.

    Why be like that? Whether you think their position is silly or not, this person obviously gets called out on this a lot.

    Well, at least he’s being more polite about it than this guy

    “I will be shitting on you and your stupid fucking license vociferously from here on out because you’re an arrogant egotistical asshole.,”

    But yeah, didn’t think responding with informative links would be considered as disrespecting someone. 🤷‍♂️

    And rather than pitch a fit over being needled about it for the umpteenth time, they responded with links that ought to satisfy any genuine curiosity. Considering the times I’ve seen an empty “Go educate yourself!” as a response from petulant children, I’d say buddy did us a solid. They don’t owe us a personalized response.

    Originally I was just telling people to look through my chat history, as I had discussed the same topic many many times before, and didn’t want to detail the conversation by having to talk about it again.

    But I was told that that was rude of me to do, and someone suggested I supply links instead. So I did. But apparently that’s not the right thing to do either.

    I actually have been trying to work with the community about this in good faith, but each thing I do something as a compromise it seems to be complained about anyway, never satisfying those who dislike me having a license declaration.

    At this point I’m just sticking with the smaller font and using links when someone asks me about the license, there’s nothing else I can do to satisfy those people who object, and I’m NOT going to discontinue licensing my content.

    Appreciate the civility support, thank you.

    I don’t particularly like being lumped in with a bunch of jerks who’ve treated you badly tbh, but equally if you’re feeling harassed I’m happy to put a pin in this.

    I won’t lie, I’ve been harassed so much (sincerely, check out my posting history, its a trip) that at this point its hard to distinguish people who are just curious, and people who are truly rude/trolling/intellectually dishonest. If you’re one of the former, my apologies.

    I do stand by what I said about derailing a conversation though, I would say that to anyone, under the same circumstances.

    Have a nice day.

    Derailing a conversation? That’s a bit dramatic… And now you are doing it by your own measure. I was just having a conversation, in a comment thread man. Chill out.

    Are we talking about why fastDOOM is fast right now? No, we’re not. That’s called derailing a conversation.

    As far as me chilling out, I’ve actually had someone else say this to me

    “I will be shitting on you and your stupid fucking license vociferously from here on out because you’re an arrogant egotistical asshole.,”

    There’s a history with people harassing me about using an open-source license in my comments. Just check out my posting history, and you’ll see that I’m not being dramatic at all.

    I’ve had plenty of breakthroughs at 9PM, but most of those could have been gotten at 11AM the next day without neglecting my family.

    You’re a better coder than I am/was then. Everytime, without fail, if I took that break at 9pm, left work, and came back the next day, I never solved that problem.

    You come into the office the next day and you have more/new problems to solve on top of the one you were trying to solve the night before, and you have to try to get back ‘into the zone’ of the problem solving for that one single problem (especially when you’ve had to do a bunch of configurations to your IDE for the last-night problem being worked on), very problematic to do when the office is busy.

    Speaking of, forgot to mention that point, but working late usually gives you a quieter office environment to work in. Its always why I would try to start work at 10am (or later) on any project I was one, give me an hour or three of "quiet’ at the end of the day to wrap up work uninterrupted.

    Edit: Forgot to mention in my reply, but …

    without neglecting my family

    I made sure to never do that. Balancing Life/Work is always tough, but staying employeed with a great income sometimes takes better care of your family than being home late for dinner one evening.

  • After 5PM stop looking for a fix, start looking for a stopping point and write up some notes to review when you’re fresh again.

    Hot Take Incomming…

    No. My best successes were when I stayed on point and pushed through the fatigue and solved the problem. Taking a ‘go to bed and come back to the office fresh’ type of break would inevitably set me back, as I would have to pick up my train of thought again, to get back “into the zone” of the problem and solving it. Its another form of an interruption while you are trying to concentrate, and can interrupt an ‘Eureka!’ moment in problem solving.

    It truly sucks having to work the extra hours, and if the project management is so bad that you’re doing it all the time, then you need to find other work, but sometimes, ‘sticking it out’ is the solution to the problem, finishing what you started.

    Having said that, if I’ve pushed through the fatigue multiple times in multiple hours, so that its super hard to push again, THEN that would be the point where I walk away from the problem for the evening. Its not an either/or thing, but its definately stick around and try to solve longer than the advice I’m replying to would suggest.

    One last thing. The above advice was given by someone who spent most of their career self-employeed and working an hourly rate. You’re expected to solve the problems others can’t because you’re getting paid more, and your time is compensated accordingly to the amount of work you are putting in. If you are a salaried employee, especially one who is low paid, I would then advise you to consider other things than strict professionalism, like QoL issues vs compensation gained, etc.

  • I’m also not sure how it works with the licenses of the instance it’s posted on, and the instances that federate with, store and reproduce the content.

    My understanding is a license would stays with the content, no matter where the content is replicated. I also declare that my content is licensed in my user account description as well.

    As far as the labeling goes, I normally have it say a little more than what I did in my last comment. Having read your comment and double checking on the Creative Commons site, I did decide to change it to be more descriptive as you advised.

    But if you go back through my personal comment history, about nine and a half months or so, you’ll see that there’s been a large quantity conversation about this licensing link, so having just recently returned to Lemmy I was trying to shorten it down, figuring just the actual license information itself was enough of the declaration.
