we use Jenkins + a bespoke wrapper at work. thats left a bad taste in my mouth enough to avoid Jenkins altogether

[–] chrash0@lemmy.world 1 points 42 minutes ago

this is my experience as well. we have a bespoke wrapper around Jenkins, and the more we can test locally the less time we have to spend waiting for the system to fail. it’s one of the reasons i’ve adopted just to script things locally as if it was CI.

heck yeah this is the review i was looking for 💯

[–] chrash0@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

you’re right. i just expected it to be an increase 😅

[–] chrash0@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

i honestly didn’t look that close, obviously haha

but yeah, i’ve been kinda looking for a reason to de-Microsoft my stuff

[–] chrash0@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

good lead. it’s just the one project for now, and to my surprise it’s actually a dependency for the ollama-rs project, so i feel somewhat obligated to keep it stable.

yes, according to this morning’s email

 

hey nerds! i got a lovely email from GitHub this morning that their increasingly vibe-coded, barely-working Actions features are about to get more expensive (charging by the minute for something that notoriously spin-locks is a special flavor of shit sandwich).

i usually just use whatever i’m given at wherever i’m working. i do have a project that i maintain to parse Ollama Modelfiles tho: https://github.com/covercash2/modelfile and to be honest, Actions is the only solution i’ve ever used that came close to sparking joy, simply because it was easy to use and had tons of community mind-share (i’ve definitely heard horror stories and would never stake my business on it), but this price increase and all the other news around GitHub lately has got me side-eying self-hosting solutions for my git projects. Forgejo seems like the way to go for git hosting, but Actions in particular Just Works™️ for me, so i’m kind of dreading setting something up that will be yet another time sink/rabbit hole (just in time for the holidays! 🙃).

i can install most of my tooling with my language toolchain (read: rustup and cargo) which makes things fairly neat, but i just don’t have a sense for what people use outside of Jenkins and Actions.

i thought this community might have some insight beyond the LLM generated listicles that have blighted modern search results.

thanks in advance 🙏

i guess in these situations i think of my aunt, who is in her 80s. she has an iPhone. should she buy a NAS and host Immich? i don’t think “make backups” is the simple advice it appears to be for the vast majority of people

i think it’s easy to make comments like this from the peanut gallery, with the benefit of hindsight and a self-selected group of users who will agree. but Apple should be legally obligated to address this. the solution can’t be “this idiot didn’t spend his nights and weekends doing 3-tier backups and high availability infrastructure diversity!”; that’s not scalable. if we just accept that companies can do this, they will continue to. but this has been on the front page of HackerNews. it’ll probably make it to Tim Apple’s desk eventually, so we’ll see what shakes out.

i think the alternative is to use grep args. but ya know i’m living in the future using nushell’s open command and ripgrep so the argument is just kinda adorable

as someone who used to work on “expert models” i’m excited that not everyone has abandoned them for “what if we just had a model that knows everything (that doesn’t exist) and costs a billion dollars to run”

honestly, the brag document is a great takeaway. so many times people will subtly or implicitly question documentation or refactors, and when shit hits the fan and the readability refactor or documentation or logging/tracing PR becomes the clincher in quickly resolving the issue i love calling it out. documenting those cases themselves as a way to sell documentation and code quality to others feels like an amazing idea (if not exactly a “brag document”)

 

hey! i don’t particularly want to post on Reddit, and i just found this community. hopefully there’s someone here who can help.

don’t let me jump to a conclusion here (the good ole X/Y problem we call it in software).

i recently moved into a new house, and my dishwasher’s performance has been next to useless. the first weekend i moved in it had a leak detected so i took the opportunity to take the whole mfer all the way apart and clean the filter and check all the guts. (i ended up removing the sensor completely cuz the false positives were driving me nuts; also this experience made me start distrusting the machine itself)

after this, the residue from the detergent went away, but it wasn’t cleaning anything that wasn’t just something i could rinse off in the sink. i ran dishes through 3, 4, 5, 6 times. in the meantime i started pre-heating my water before starting the machine, based on advice from this Technology Connections video. finally today i hand washed most of the dishes so i could use the dishwasher cleaner i bought.

the dishwasher cleaner was this product: “Finish Dual Action Dishwasher Cleaner: Fight Grease and Limescale, 1 Count”. the idea being if there is some excess lime built up the pressure may not be adequate. the way it’s meant to work (i assume) is you remove a sticker to expose a wax plug that is melted by the heat of the water during the cycle. i set the dishwasher to the most intense setting: heavy wash, extra hot, sanitize. took the thing 3 hours to complete the cycle. i come back, and the wax plug is 100% intact. thus the conclusion: the water isn’t getting hot enough during the cycle even with preheating. based on this i’m assuming that my water line is simply too long for such a modern machine, which (assuming based on the video) is trying to minimize water waste and not sampling enough hot water to get up to normal operating temperature.

the reviews of the machine seem positive, and negative reviews don’t indicate this as a normal issue regarding the effectiveness of the machine.

hope someone can help, because it’s currently an overpriced drying rack for my hand washed dishes.

it’s the Samsung DW80K5050

here’s the manual for the model: https://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201610/20161012093615322/DW7000KM-02025B-01_EN_CFR.pdf

 

howdy everyone!

i’ve been trying to diversify my fitness routine, and i live in a bicycle town with lots of great trails (so they tell me). i’m wanting to get into gravel biking because i have too much to live for to get smashed by a car or modify my collar bone with a tree (jk y’all are cool i’m just a wuss).

one thing i really enjoy is the data part of my workouts, but i’m increasingly wary of putting my data into walled gardens like Apple Fitness or even Strava to a certain extent. and i have the technical know-how to store and curate my own data if needed (4 years as a professional Android developer and 15 years of programming experience). i’ve been advised to get a cycling computer, but many of my friends aren’t so technical and just grab whatever “Garmin” they can afford. and the folks at the shops will have little knowledge of underlying OS versions or chipsets or whatever.

so i wanted to reach out to the nerdiest cycling community i could think of and ask about it. i know gadgets in niche spaces can be kind of a wasteland in terms of open source or open API access or whatever, but is there such a device that’s hacker friendly? i don’t need another shitty smartphone strapped to my bike, but i also don’t want to miss any fun data collection features like power delivery (once i fully build out my kit; i’m building this out piecemeal).

any advice would be appreciated 🙏
