Similarly, make your methods short - really, really short. If you have 10 lines of code and put them each in their own method, great! Maybe it isnt the fastest code to read - but readable method names will make it obvious what each line does, and combining independent methods together is far easier than breaking one massive method into chunks.

I agree with a lot you said and this reads like advice straight from Robert Martins “Clean Code”, but I’ve recently read a discussion between him and John Ousterhout, where John makes compelling arguments for longer, “deeper” functions. I found the discussion very interesting and actually started reading “A Philosophy of Software Design” shortly after. Would recommend!

I’ve always had a weird feeling about FUTO, but I thought them giving money to open source projects can’t be that bad. Now I hope they don’t fuck up Immich.

Allegedly, backups simply couldn’t be kept, due to the G-Drive system’s massive capacity.

X Doubt. Things like S3 can also store massive amounts of data and still support backups or at least geo replication. It’s probably just a matter of cost.

But it gets worse. It turns out that before the fire, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety had apparently instructed government employees to store everything in the G-Drive cloud and not on their office PCs.

Which is totally fine and reasonable? The problem isn’t the order to use the centralized cloud system, but that the system hasn’t been sufficiently secured against possible data loss.

Yeah, EVs are really cool!

I didn’t want to express an anti-EV sentiment, I just hate this commanding kind of headline. “Watch these…”, “Do that…”, “You must…” - shut the fuck up.

No.

Gibt es da eigentlich noch die Todesstrafe?

Auf jeden Fall für wichtige Regierungsdaten.

The question about the single most favorite self hosted software is impossible to answer.

Die Akku- bzw. Reichweitendebatte ödet mich an. Man sollte meinen, irgendwann wäre alles gesagt, seien alle Argumente ausgetauscht.

Immer wieder dieselbe Runde zu drehen, damit es auch die hinterletzte Reihe mitbekommt, finde ich sterbenslangweilig.

Müssten die Kosten für’s Hosting dann nicht erst recht geringer ausfallen, wenn nur Internet/Strom/Rackmiete bezahlt werden müssen? Oder wird die Hardware für noch für X Monate abbezahlt und danach sinken die Hostingkosten? Steckt da vielleicht auch Arbeitslohn mit drin? So richtig schlau werde ich aus der Summe nicht.

929€/Monat für’s Hosting ist schon nicht wenig - wieviele Ressourcen braucht denn so eine größere Lemmy Instanz?

That’s a good point.

I’m not the reporter but just for my understanding: Spreading false information about a real person is not misinformation if it is

• maybe not deliberate

Am I getting this right?

The claims were later found to be false, and McClain was cleared.[28]

No, I also got the mail and it stated pretty clearly that they only increase the price of the previously free plesk license to 5€. If you don’t use plesk (aka don’t have a license as you described), the VPS will still cost 1€/mon.

The what?

They should build a foldable one with an attached display, a mouse pad and a battery. It would be a complete, but portable workstation! Wouldn’t that be nice?

Oof sorry, that sucks.

What are the reviewers of these PRs doing? Out-of-scope PRs can be rejected and closed, no?
