Linux kernel updated to 64 bit time quite recently. In 2038 I can guarantee somebody in a very serious business is still using an ancient RHEL and will have issues.

And not using 32-bit integers to calculate time. Which is still a thing in many many many codebases written in C or C++…

Properly investing takes a lot of time and your big lump of money is not protected if the bank goes under. But yes, that is the best strategy.

Add that China theme to the mix.

You’re welcome.

I can validate this. I work as the IT ops guy for every Fortune 500 company and we only use RAID-0 for backups.

This. I keep following many kinks in the fediverse, but I’m just a quite normie gay cis man myself. It’s important to understand how different people are, and be ok with that.

It will haunt me forever sadly…

I’m not the one who’s so far away When I feel the snake bite enter my veins Never did I wanna be here again And I don’t remember why I came

That guy in the corner meme here…

The winning strategy for us who do not want to gamble but save some extra for our retirement is to stop looking at the daily values, and invest the same amount monthly to a low cost ETF, such as VUAA.

Now, the S&P 500 has been coming up about seven percent yearly if you look into it for a longer period of time. Repeating the monthly investment until you retire is a good way to get enough to retire comfortably.

Yeah, the perks of the Android ecosystem. There’s also a version for Android TV such as NVIDIA Shield. Again just works and filters out ads and sponsor segments.

I’ve been using this one for years, which filters out ads and sponsor segments:

Only for Android though. If you use iOS, switch to Android and you’ll also get a really Firefox browser with ublock origin that blocks all the ads compared to that 30something% what every iOS browser does.

Rust and Cargo enters the room.

It is also not really beer.

We’ve been using Linear in my latest company and it is actually quite good. No bullshit fast UI, boards, issues linking with Git, a support that can take a feature request that is often implemented in a week or two after asking it.

Just need to ranch them up.

Every christmas…

I was joking here a bit, but:

• A big crowd of people has suddenly a lot of weed.
• People in Berlin like to go to bars and like to smoke weed (a fact)
• Suddenly there’s a lot more weed, many people more are smoking it either in the bar (allowed in a few places at least in Neukolln) or outside the bar (about every other place outside Neukolln)
• Fun.

So it was my take on laughing a bit about the winter 2024…

Yeah. I don’t mean that. But how is it going to look like in bars when everybody suddenly has hundreds or so grams of weed…

I’m in Berlin and half of my neighbors have these 3m tall weed plants on their balconies. 3-4 usually, and nobody really cares. I wonder how the winter is going to be when everybody suddenly has half a kilo of weed…
