Similar to others, maybe 2 or 3 years old. I was “helping” (probably hindering) my mum paint my bedroom. I distinctly remember waving the paint roller around.

Programming@programming.dev•Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030 - Plans move to Rust, with help from AI
18·20 days agoI have witnessed companies make this exact mistake before - they have a legacy system written in $LanguageA that they either cannot find developers to maintain, believe is badly written, or does not support some new feature they want to implement (or some combination of the three) - and decide to solve this by taking the existing codebase and porting/transpiling it to $LanguageB (which is more modern, performant, is easy to hire developers for, etc) - without actually rewriting or rearchitecting anything.
What they are actually doing is substituting one kind of tech debt for another. The existing code that was poorly written and/or not well understood is now just bad code written in a different language. Fixing bugs or implementing new features now takes just as long, if not longer to account for the idiosyncrasies of how the code was ported.
And now this is being done by AI with even less oversight than usual? Recipe for a maintenance disaster.

Gaming@lemmy.zip•Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% markEnglish
21·2 months agoPersonally any game that requires a rootkit in order to play is not a game I’m interested in, from either a gameplay or a security point of view.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What the heck is this stain by my window?
14·4 months agoAs others have said, 100% a leak.
I would advise to stand on a chair or stepladder underneath the ceiling and check to see if it is still level. If you see an obvious deformation around the stain, this will be being caused by water pooling on top of the ceiling plasterboard. In which case, once the leak is sorted, you will likely need to drain the pooled water, cut out the damaged section, replace it, then replaster and repaint.
We had exactly the same issue in our last house. It was in a difficult to see spot hidden behind our kitchen cabinets. We only realised the severity of the issue when the ceiling boards gave way and fell on my head.

Linux@programming.dev•Linux has over 6% of the desktop market? Yes, you read that right - here's how
9·6 months agoI’ve switched both my laptop and desktop over to Linux (Bazzite and Fedora respectively) in the last 6 months.
The last time I tried to daily Linux (over a decade ago) I ended up switching back eventually, but this time I really don’t think I’ll need to. All of the games I play most often work perfectly, the dev tooling is even better than it is on Windows, and the hardware compatibility side has been completely flawless.
Gone are the days of having to hunt down obscure Linux drivers for your touchpad or webcam. Everything just works out of the box.

Gaming@lemmy.zip•Nintendo bans Switch 2 owner after they played used Switch 1 games — decision eventually reversed after 'proving innocence’English
14·6 months agoHot take: Nintendo peaked with the Wii.
Old? Check. Male? Check. Hung out on Epstein island? Check.
Seems like a perfect match to me.
Well, I’m currently writing a service and frontend, both in C# (Blazor for the UI), and using docker-compose to build and deploy them to a Raspberry Pi running Linux. So not only cross-platform, but cross-architecture as well.
This is not a new thing either. Since .NET Core was released almost 10 years ago, it has supported cross platform development.
Assuming your Fiesta produces < 100g/km CO2, looks like you’ll now be paying £20/year (as it was manufactured before 2017, different rules apply) - could be worse!
Not quite. Even existing EVs (with some exceptions for older vehicles) will be charged the new basic VED rate of £195 when they are next due to renew (which could be in up to a year’s time).
What EV purchasers were trying to avoid was the expensive vehicle supplementary tax of £425/year for cars with a list price of over £40k, which EVs purchased/registered since the start of April are no longer exempt from.
As the vast majority of new EVs on the market fall into that price bracket (including all Teslas except the base tier Model 3), suddenly the yearly tax for most new EV purchases jumps from £195 to £620/year.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How to secure Jellyfin hosted over the internet?English
3·10 months agoRight now none of the native clients support SSO. It is a frequently requested feature but, unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it will be implemented any time soon. As with many OSS projects it is probably a case of “you want it, you build it” - but nobody has actually stepped up.

28·10 months agoFor web access, stick it behind a reverse proxy and use something like Authentik/Authelia/SSO provider of your choice to secure it.
For full access including native clients, set up a VPN.
