Since when do Unix tools output 3,000 word long usage info? Even GNU tools don’t even come close…

These technologies, although archaic, clumsy and insecure

Like cars? Or phones? Those are also archaic, clumsy and insecure technologies.

Well can you attach it when you fill the 250 characters?

Thanks! I ordered a SATA SSD already, and I did plan to read about the E key slot later, but for now I'm good. The board has 4 SATA slots, so I will either have to have an USB OS disk or an adapter like this, but for now I'll just go with what I know.

Do you know what are the speeds like on that Sintech or similar adapter? I don't really need NVMe speeds, it's a simple OS disk, but I wouldn't like to go down to something bellow regular SSD speeds.

Well, yes, kind of. More power means the PSU or the power adapter is heating up, generating more losses. Closer to their top power, it's also a bit spikier. You have a bigger reserve for spikes.

The downside is a slightly higher power draw (in absolute values, it's negligible, but in comparison, it can be a double-digit percentage difference).

I've been reading a bit, and I believe that my setup won't exceed 50 Watts, maybe a bit more if I add two more spinning disks. It should be quite a good match, I think.

Oh, I am enjoying it, but I didn't expect to start learning already. I thought I'll pick up a thing or two about the software side of things though, but most of the stuff I've been doing already for a long time. But yes, it's a deep rabbit hole.

And if you have a large company and many teams, you think actions will help? (Aside from the UI issues you mention). Rebuilding the Jenkins from scratch now would probably get rid of most of your problems, but in a year is gonna be a mess. It's similar to how it's going to go with and CI.

Also, a good DevOps person or team will keep the Devs happy (or at least, not very unhappy) with any tool, a bad one will suck anyhow.

At least that's my experience.

I sometimes upload photos to my Pixelfed account. I also participate in the 52frames.com weekly challenge, so I frequently post there as well.

But recently I also started posting to my own dedicated photo site. It's ... more meaningful to me, and I can share the posts with some community (52frames mentioned above has an active Discord server, also "Focal Point with C. London" as well).

A note on my own site: I'm a techie and tend to obsess about loading times and static site generators and all that - so I end up with a typical software developer's blog - blogging about how to setup the blog itself. So for this thing I said, "I don't care about performance, SEO, anything. I'll just post photos".

So if you plan to do something like that, I suggest just going for it. Just pick a platform and start posting. After a time, you'll figure out what you want to do, in which direction to move, so can adjust later. But just getting started should be easy, and it motivates you a lot.

I wanted to suggest something like this. Code-freeze wise, you can have a "minor" and "major" problems, major problems block the feature, minor ones let it go (but you now have a tech debt, and make sure that THIS process to fixing up found issues is higher-prio then new features). Of course, you decide what is minor and what major. E.g. maybe a typo in the UI is acceptable, maybe not.

As for throwing features over the wall - I would actually suggest just changing the perspective - make QA involved earlier. The feature is not ready and not frozen unless it's been looked at by QA. Then when a thing is frozen, it's really ready. (Of course you'll still have regressions etc but that's another topic.)

I looked at those, and they look good, and great reviews and all. My question is, can you get them used, and for a decent price? I guess I missed highlighting it in my question - I want to buy used, so that the price isn't bad, but still get decent hardware. That was quite possible with the old thinkpads, is it already possible to get used Frameworks?

[-] zlatko@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, one of the reasons I changed my T420 for something newer. I have a Tuxedo Pulse, and I'm...well, satisfied with it. But I'm not super happy, it feels wobbly and flimsy.
