1. Absent-mindedly ran my Restic backup service on a fresh boot which created an empty snapshot on the server and freaked me out, thankfully past me was smarter than this and I was keeping multiple snapshots. The data was salvaged!

  2. @kiranrao I wish I had something reassuring to say but mine literally went from working perfectly fine to being completely dead in the span of two hours that I spent booted into Windows off a separate SSD

  3. It's been 12 hours since my Linux SSD died and I already don't know what to do with myself...

    The new one I ordered cannot come fast enough 😩

  4. I must admit it is quite annoying to discover that SSDs just die randomly without warning at 12 AM because my Linux drive that was working perfectly fine **TWO HOURS AGO** is no longer detected by my motherboard.

  5. Random observation: every TV show I've left unfinished in the past 5 years since I've been tracking it is from Netflix.

  6. @tkuenneth@snapp.social Happy birthday!

  7. @chirpbirb that looks pretty good! My non-existent building skills are making me jealous haha

  8. @shinmera unforced self report

  9. @jalefkowit@vmst.io I read this earlier today and I could almost hear the teeth gnashing as they were forced to write this out. The worst part of this will be that Conde Nast's C-suite will hoover up all the money and these journalists will lose their jobs anyway.

  10. Very threatening aura in the issue tracker today #rustlang

    (for legal reasons this is a joke, please no fighting in the replies thanks)

    rust-lang/rust GitHub repository's issues tab, showing an issue from 2020 with the title "Purge Python" as the most recently updated one.
  11. @sanchayan if you check your server's logs you'll probably find a ton of AI crawlers, I was having the same problem from bad bots triggering tons of archive creations by scraping that URL from repository pages and trying to download it. Haven't faced this since I set up a redirect matcher on their user agents.

  12. @nileane I feel glad for having gotten my Pixel 8 right before the AI tsunami hit Google in full force. I'll be riding out those 7 years of software support to their very end and hopefully come out at the other end of this ridiculous bubble.

  13. @mwl FWIW this only applies to new patrons from after the changes go into effect, your existing patrons will continue to be charged at their current rate. Still recommended to simply cut out Apple if possible.

  14. @hossainkhan The Medium interface is bad in more ways than one, and their push to make all content require memberships to view only serves to make otherwise free content harder to access. It also prevents archival and does not let authors actually own their content.

  15. @zsmb13 lmfao that had me confused for a bit. The feature has been around for a while but yeah this is surely an "interesting" way to use it :D

  16. God I hate Medium so much, it's a real shame so many Android devs exclusively publish on there.

  17. Who in their right mind thought this is a good fucking idea?? Google PLEASE wake the fuck up

    The Google Play Store app with the search bar moved from its usual position in the top app bar to now being the central item in the bottom navigation. There is a coach mark titled "Meet the Search tab" that is supposed to make me feel there was actual thought behind this stupid change.
  18. One would think with 7 years of experience companies would stop saying that not having a college degree will be a problem...

  19. The @restic backups I set up last week are saving my ass already: A misbehaving #Minecraft mod caused corruption in the save file but I was able to restore a backup from minutes before I started playing today so I only lost 30 minutes of progress rather than days.

    I ♥️ Restic

  20. @weiznich great work! FYI the link to axum in the line about crates that have started using on_unimplemented is pointing to Bevy's PR instead.

  21. @sanchayan kondo is so good, I recommended it to a friend just yesterday :D
