You just happened to stumble across the stupidest motherfucker alive. Probably alive. Those risky decisions don’t take themselves.

  • You can absolutely do that.

    But do be careful with kde-full if you’re running very old hardware. I’m talking about <4gb DDR3, CPUs from Obama’s first term etc.

    I’m not saying KDE’s “bloated”; I am still in absolute shock at how light it is compared to Windows.

    But if you are dealing with hardware that needs a daily lethal dose of donepezil, opt for kde-standard

    (Difficult lesson I learned)




  • I’ve been on an AWS project for about a month now

    And, my god, there is so much to be infuriated by.

    My first revelation was that there is no payment killswitch. E.g. if I spend more than X dollars, stop all my services and don’t charge me anymore. Nope sorry can’t do that

    You can set “Budget alerts” but holy fuck, the emails do not arrive anywhere near reasonably on time

    $0.40 per secret stored, billed monthly. Imagine the keys for every lock in your apartment showing up as charges on your rent invoice.

    With every managed service, it feels like the setup menus are just a game of minesweeper, where if you don’t know any better, you might accidentally cost your organization $500 per hour and not know until the next day when the cost dashboard updates.

    Maybe it’s just because I’m new to it, but apparently, this kind of shit is rampant among most cloud providers.

    Biggest companies in the world still need to pickpocket their customers and that’s somehow okay
