May I introduce you to my savior, BTRFS

God I wish ARM had a standard…

It’s actually irritating to me that the sun is bombarding us with ionizing radiation

(I know, not the same intensity) but think about the amount of precautions we take before turning on a UV lamp. Or before turning on a very bright LED which you are not supposed to look directly at. Well, neither you should look directly at the sun, but you get the idea

In a perspective, sun is so radioactive it can even decay paint and plastic! It can literally cook you alive and make your skin fall in pieces. This just seems usual to us because we were born with it, people would freak the hell out if a medical procedure had the same side effects

Look, I can make a right wing campaign out of this! BAN THE SUN SAVE YOUR KIDS FROM 800T (Terahertz) RADIATION

I used it for a while and I think it’s been one of the best languages I’ve tried. C for example is too barebones for modern desktop apps. Apps written in Rust are great but most of the time, it’s just not worth the effort. And stuff like Python, JS is… uhh… where do I even begin

I think Go hits the sweet spot between these. Unlike C, it at least has some simple error/panic mechanism, GC so you don’t have to worry about memory much and some modern features on top of that. And unlike Python it can actually create reasonably snappy programs.

In any programming language, there will always be multiple cases where you need to link C libraries. CGo, although people don’t seem to be adoring it, is actually… okay? I mean of course it does still have some overhead but it’s still one of the nicer ways to link C libraries with your code. And Go being similar to C makes writing bindings so much easier

Multithreading in Go is lovely. Or as I read somewhere “you merely adopted multithreading, I was born with it”

Packaging is handled pretty nicely, pulling a library from the net is fairly trivial. And the standard directory structure for Go, although I’m not used to it, makes organizing stuff much easier and is easy to adopt

As you would’ve guessed from the amount of times I mentioned C in this comment, I basically see Go as the “bigger C for different situations”

I love how people put E=mc^2 everywhere

Like, why does Susan need that for a roating table? Unless the table is running on plutonium of course

you can write like 5 of them and rest will be auutomatically done I think

I swear this always happens to intelligent people when they age

Me and my best friend are both gifted kids. Our families are all very smart people and so his mom and dad but for some reason, his mom is a really conservative conspiracy theorist (chemtrails, bill gates and the jews stuff) and his dad has weird spiritualist beliefs and rituals (cult inspired from buddism I think? I’m not sure) even though such stuff is forbidden under islam

Recently his mom randomly showed us a video where “they” are “vaccinating the fish”. I was going to burst into laughter if I didn’t hold myself so hard. My bestie is a progressive leftist, he believes in science, and he has a very materialist point of view. He says it’s sometimes embarrassing for him when his family members do such thing in public

And the weirdest part is these are not caused by cognitive decline due to age. They still do understand everything pretty good and they can still process new information in a much more efficient manner than “average” people

My main idea about it is that skepticism can sometimes be a curse for boomers who did not have a source of knowledge to base their skeptic ideas on, and they are just not used to accuiring reliable knowledge from the web. Reliable knowledge often being in English and majority of boomers in my country not knowing English also contributes to that

That’s what I’ve been saying all the time when my brother says monopoly sucks when you don’t win. It’s literally designed to make you suffer

You can also farm emeralds by doing the same thing with a fletching table and trying to get a 32 sticks to one emerald trade

ChatGPT keeps mixing up software versions which is understandable considering the similarities between versions and the way gen AI works

I asked for help on GTK 4 once and responses were a mix of GTK 4 and 3 code. Some of them even contained function names which didn’t exist in any version of GTK

I made a 100GB alt account and uploaded 25GB of files through an encrypted mount. We’ll see what happens when I cancel it tomorrow

Yup I know I am the product. That’s why we are encrypting everything with AES256 before upload using rclone’s crypt remote

I just don’t trust any cloud provider tbh. Performance hit from AES256 is very insignificant and it provides solid privacy regardless of provider. Might as well get the cheap one

Possibility of Google keeping API access up after cancellation is why I asked this question. To learn what happens when to rclone Google drive mount after an expiration
