Fedora makes the most sense to me. But I can see how a cautious bunch might go for the perceived safety of Ubuntu.

Hello fellow ntfy user.

Saying you don’t know enough about Servlets to know whether it’s heavier than Spring or not

Definitely not what I said.

I find it exceedingly hard to believe you have 20 years experience working with Spring and you’re somehow flummoxed by annotations. I’ve been working with Spring for about half that time and I can get Spring to do whatever I want it to do.

You seem pretty angry about this, though, so I’m just gonna leave it at this.

I mean, most of your issues come from not knowing how to use Spring. And I’m not dogging on you for that. It’s just kinda how it is.

If you aren’t familiar with Spring it can be extremely confusing why something isn’t working. And it feels like it does things by “voodoo” in your words. But it’s not. If you understand it and are familiar with it, you can make it do whatever you want.

JSPs are terrible, though. And I don’t know about relative “heaviness” of servlets.

What is CC

Being mandated to use Spring is stupid. But Spring at least is great.

AI usage is so heavily subsidized that it’s insane. We should all expect to see the rates climb as AI companies realize their cash will run out before they find the miracle they’re looking for.

For what it’s worth, Claude Code has been immensely helpful for me at the $20 a month tier. I would be willing to pay more for it, but I’m not sure how much more.

…does that make it better for you?

Also elder millennial. I thought I was gen x when I was a kid because that’s what TV would call the youth.

More like they’re going to be hit with generational debt due to leaking secrets.

Bazzite is likely everything you’re hoping SteamOS will be. So don’t wait for SteamOS, just go for it.

My assumption is because they’re exotic and most people don’t know how to use them, so it’s harder than using a fork.

At least the two on the left have no idea how to use them.

Me, personally, I prefer chopsticks for noodles.

I’m thinking about finding an alternative to ntfy. The maintainers are increasingly vibe coding it.

There’s also an image for Copyparty if you’re already hosting stuff as containers. It’s super handy.

For some small things, code from scratch by the LLM is really nice.

For example, I’ve had the LLMs generate one page HTML dashboards to show data from Postgres over REST. They look nicer than what I could produce. They use vanilla JS with no libraries to maintain, and they handle all of the fiddly UI crap you need to do filtering and formatting.

But for larger, more important projects, I can see that being more of a downside. For instance, code from scratch is going to have vulnerabilities, but no one is out there scanning your code for those vulnerable and reporting them, like they are for libraries.

And also, code from scratch is so much more to maintain. The tech debt will be insane.

I sold my 2014 Miata that I loved, but didn’t drive enough to justify keeping it. Turned around and bought a 2017 Bolt with 80k miles on it for $2000 less than I got for the Miata.

I then got $3000 back in tax credits.

Smartest car purchase I’ve ever made. We love this stupid little car and it feels really good to be not directly feeling the gas price hikes.

Those are the “park anywhere lights”.

The hyper awareness killed the enjoyment for me.

That bivalve is so upset it can’t even speak!
