1y 5mon ago in programmer_humor@programming.dev from lemmy.zipI'm confused, how did setwitter.com redirect to sex.com if twitter/X didn't own the setwitter.com domain?
Piracy
2y 6d ago in memes@lemmy.ml from sh.itjust.worksThe professor that taught my algorithms & data structures course said if we were going to keep one book it should be the one for that course. I followed that advice and it's the one textbook I still have. It's been 8 years since graduation and I haven't opened it once. I tend to just read Wikipedia if I need to understand a particular algorithm or data structure.
Did you choose for Linux for freedom or ...
2y 1mon ago in asklemmy@lemmy.mlI first got into Linux because I was a kid with an old hand-me-down laptop that was meant to run Windows 98 but I somehow stuffed Windows XP on there (it had a 4gb HDD and it was filled to the brim, I'm shocked in hindsight that it actually installed). Then I discovered Ubuntu (I think version 6.06?) and installed it, and it ran great! Once I got newer computers I ended up using Windows primarily but usually had a Linux PC kicking around. In college I started dual booting my main machine since Linux proved to be useful for my courses (Computer Science). Then I built a PC and just installed Windows 10 on it, but now that my 7th gen Intel CPU is "too old" to run Windows 11, I said screw it and installed Linux again. Plus I just really like having a bash shell natively, and a proper package manager is really nice.
Any good Linux Tablet recommendations?
2y 2mon ago in linux@lemmy.mlI have a Surface Pro 4 (I think from 2015) and the battery life now is awful. I might be able to get an hour or two depending on the performance mode, I usually just plug it in while using it now. If I forget to plug it in between uses, it will definitely be dead the next time I go to use it.
Plus it's starting to feel pretty slow. I do still have Windows on it, perhaps installing Linux would help make it faster but it sounds like it takes some work to get everything working properly so I haven't bothered.
Notification when new app versions are released
2y 2mon ago in selfhostedNo, I mean doesn't it only look for updates of the current tag? That works fine if you set every container to the "latest" tag, but if you set your containers to specific version tags then you won't get a notification unless that specific tag gets updated.
That will just pull the latest image though right? I.e., if you explicitly have a container on a tag for v1.2.3, it wouldn't upgrade you when v1.2.4 is released right?
Daylight saving creator left the chat....
2y 2mon ago in programmer_humor@programming.devBut if time travel is a thing, imagine the whole new time nightmares! Oh you went back a year with your phone? Now all your TLS root certs are invalid because you're before the start date. Or you have files/emails/whatever that are dated in the future. I guess you can get to that state by just setting your clock forward but I imagine some stuff would break.
Toothpaste
2y 3mon ago in memes@lemmy.ml from lemmy.mlI learned this when I got an electric toothbrush. It only has room for about a pea sized blob and it's surprising how far it goes.
My Git Knowledge
2y 3mon ago in programmer_humor@programming.dev from lemm.eeHow is regex git knowledge? I guess you can use regular expressions with git grep but it's certainly not a git-oriented concept...
