Oh Logins are horrible. For example. I have a 3D printer, it’s connected to my LAN. The software to use it, however, requires to a login to connected to this local device. This already sucks, the worst is that me and my wife both use this printer on our own computer and each time she uses it, I’m required to login again after she’s done. I hate this, because this shouldn’t be the case for a local device, secondly every service has different requirements for the password policy, thirdly the app doesn’t remember the password, fourthly, neither do I.

Killing your twin in the womb doesn’t make you trans, it makes you a highlander.

First I wanted to ask why you didn’t use scissors, but then I remembered how expensive those things are.

Do you mean Karens or politicians?

Not to brag, but I have these in my house.

I used Claude to code something. The thing is, it happilly creates the code, which looks quite professionally, and is soooo positive about itself. Then you try to run it, which ofcourse doesn’t work. Next you feed it the error messages and it very very happilly fixes those bugs, all while being very fond of itself. After a few rounds of that, the code actually runs and does something.

Now I can get that it doesn’t work from the first try, ours won’t be 100% correct either, but the mistakes it makes tend to be because it mixes information of different versions of libraries.

And why is the damn thing so fond of itself? Everything it does it find “perfect”.

The trick is to start an online business using AI and earn enough money to offset the extra hardware cost caused by AI use.

it’s a question of whether you can restore a botched system with a few commands and in a realistic amount of time.

A few years ago my employer was the victim of randsomware. We’re speaking here about a massive network and all sorts of databases and services build on top of those, spanning decades and many different technologies. Basicly several thousand employees and a decade long focus on working digital and automation. Data restoration was not an issue. I haven’t heard of anyone losing data.

However, restarting all the services was not as easy. Many of these depended on each other and there were some circular dependencies that have grown organicily over the years. Took about two months to restore core functionality (mostly SAP and email) and many more months to restore all sorts of support services that were required for normal day-to-day work. Two years after the incident the last applications were back online.
