I did Jenkins for a while. It works, but it was built before the world of containers and is now fairly antiquated. Most extensions are no longer maintained.

Look into forgejo, and then use actions to auto deploy

Right? 4 years is a while but I wouldn’t call it old by any means

Seriously people stop browsing All. Just subscribe to stuff. Lemmy let’s a lot nicer that way

It helps me to remember that informed voters 50-70 years ago were people who read the papers. Not even regularly, just those who knew what was going on in the world on a regular basis. It is not normal or healthy to have a constant barrage of news and input - and more than that it’s not wrong to take a break from it. I had to learn that the hard way, that it’s okay to take a break, it doesn’t make you a bad person, that online is making you anxious. I folded in on myself, I had panic attacks, I couldn’t function - and I got help. That help helped me realize that I don’t have to shoulder this alone, I do not have to keep watching and listening. I’m informed, I know what’s going on, I know what happened today - but that doesn’t mean I’m going to turn my filters off either.

Very level headed answer. We like to stand on principle here, but if OP doesn’t go that’s pretty much the end of their relationship, we’re talking decades to repair. If that’s what OP wants that’s what OP wants, but in this case it might be better to take the high ground and say “I think your political views are horrendous, but you’re still my brother”. Get a few drinks then duck out after the speeches.

At some point I learned to set boundaries with my mom and IT help. I know I’m good at it, hell I worked geek squad for years, but she got demanding. Started calling me out of the blue demanding help even if I was in the middle of something.

“My printer doesn’t work”. “Okay, well I’m out right now… I’m not even home”. “BUT I NEED TO PRINT SOMETHING FOR TOMORROW” “Okay, well if it’s that urgent the library has printers, or the FedEx office can do it. I can help you in a couple of days on my day off”

Me helping is a gift, it’s something I give to you, it’s not something I am required to do or an obligation. Since a couple of confrontations like that it’s gotten much more manageable

Just CDs? Pretty much any of them

Feel free to set up your own instance then.

Most here in the Fediverse don’t host that stuff because we’re not corporations - we’re people. People who the feds can bust down our door and demand to see our logs - and if we don’t comply can throw us in prison. So yeah, many servers don’t host that.

You can, though. Go for it.

Great job trying to learn! Ignore the naysayers here, as a fellow programmer like it or not, you’re going to need to learn how to interact with it. That’s the real way we’d lose our jobs, if you don’t keep up with this stuff you’re doomed to fall behind.

I recommend trying to first build a simple CLI API that you can work with and ask questions similar to chat gpt. This will give you a good foundation on the APIs and how it works. Then you can move up into function calling for things like HomeAssistant, and then maybe even later training loras. Start small, just getting basic stuff working first, and build from there.

Yeah I would set it up for my family today if there was an iOS app. How many years has it been out and still no app?

Eh idk, steam community is also incredibly toxic and vile. I don’t know that we know enough yet.

That’s what I always said here. They never said emulation was illegal, but all of those emulators started making it extremely easy to pirate. Worse they openly targeted current gen consoles, so it was way way messier on “preserving old games” when brand new games were almost immediately supported. It was pretty much begging Nintendo to take action by targeting brand new games

The number one thing I’ve learned through the last several decades is that if it’s bad for the economy, no one will do it. Greed is the number one driver of everything right now. Maybe that will change, but I doubt it. Look at all the positive progress we try to make, it’s stopped the second anyone rich would lose any money.

Yikes I thought you were referencing something else, but yikes

Okay I’ll admit the fan thing is clever…

When I walk through my house I have sweet motion activated lights and doodads that I have spent hours tweaking and I enjoy thoroughly.

In the bathroom I use a switch.

Not everything needs to be “smart”

Yup title reeled me in, but even as an engineer… I tuned out after 2 sentences

Instagram.

Yeah uh what the hell was Mass Effect and the Witcher if not extremely political. You could be a genocidal Shepard remember, you could let the entire council die and push for a human only version. Most people who cry out “it’s woke” just have never put it together before.

Thanks for keeping the “if not sold”. They’ve had many opportunities to make it legal, and they’ve fought it all the way. It’s not a “ban” as much as it is a forced sale.

I’m guessing next week we’re going to hear they spun it off to a totally american company, or meta taking it over or something. Then everyone will celebrate that it’s back.
