the current landscape of webdev needs to know that I don't need web applications that scale up to millions of users, I need web applications that scale down to 5 users or less

Spent several hours today arguing with the other devs about how to rewrite our enterprise app launcher/updater because right now its pretty much a trojan.

in a nutshell: It currently downloads the individual JARs from our WildFly server, adds them to its classpath via the system classloader, then launches a target main method through reflection, effectively becoming that running process.

Someone from OPS found the list of security exceptions they needed to add to make it work (spoiler its a lot)

I hope the security team is preparing to have a heart attack when we have our meeting Wednesday

Kind Animals Little Cards – version 0.1 Duckling and dandelions

This is a little cards with little animals. Here they are good and kind little animals. It is such a funny thing! Little card with little animal – it is small program. When you open program – and, there, it is little picture and story. Little picture with little animal and story about little animal! There is minimum of settings. As a text color and background color, select language (Russian, English). For positive! Little program for positive!

Now, it is, only, one little card. It has a name – “Duckling and Dandelion”. So, looking at this little card, you can remember summer! So, what a duckling is drawn there! He has so big fun and interesting for him! And, around him – there are dandelions! Beautiful! Maybe, it is everything somewhere at the countryside. Next, duckling will go to swim!

 So, as idea, these little cards – it is for positive! Such a small programs. Maybe, later, it will be something more. So, it is, so, early version, for now. Picture itself, it was drawn a long time ago. And, a story, it was so long time ago. To have some apply of these things into something - I invent such theme with little cards. So, I am, something like, write articles, stories and make drawings – to apply all of these in my projects. So, this time has come for drawing with name – “Duckling and Dandelions”.

First time, I try GitHub for make release at this place. And, this is version 0.1. So, it is early version. But, more or less, it is a complete version. With terms of idea itself, that whole first little card is done! Duckling and dandelion. Little card has a version 1.0.  And project Kind animals little cards – it has a starting point, it start this road from this point!

It is ok to remember summer! Countryside! Field and dandelions! And, there, someplace, he runs – duckling! Let`s sit and remember a summer! And, watch at first little card. With good and kind animals! So, it is a summer at the picture. And everything was so sunny. And good day or morning. What will do duckling? Eat little grass? Or, just, go by the grass. So, look at the little card, read story and make a dreams. Remember summer and countryside! Summer and duckling. What a good start.

This project has such a fun idea. As, someone can say, it is for a reason - to make things interesting! And no need to make them lost – little pictures and stories about good and kind animals!  Duckling speaks – quack-quack!

Little cards with little animals! It is always funny! When it is a summer at the streets and not summer too! Little animals, ducklings. They are doing their own things. They have their own stories. These little cards give you for a moment – one eye to see what little animals are doing there! Well, you, always, does  not see them, as a casual thing. You are, also, are busy with your own things.

And, so, for little animals there – in a grass, in a little river – it is their own world. There, they have their own things to do, and, this way, they spent their daytime. To run to the little river, to watch the grass. To sleep. So, lots of things for little animals under the little sun, for every day! Or get in a hide from the little rain in the shadows of the bush. Lots-lots of something, little animals are doing! They are funny and kind! Good and kind! And funny, full of joy!

So, simply for read a little, about little animals. At the little evening. To drink a tea. Or day. Morning. While, it is a bright sun behind the window. Or in winter to remember about good and kind animals. In winter – they, all of them, are just, go to a sleep! Until little grass starts to grow again, and it is become warm! Now, you know, what little animals are doing, and you remember about them, all the time!

It will be a summer again! And, again, little animals will appear in a field. They will run here and there, again, and, they will do lots of their things. They will have lots of things to do again. And, again, it will be thousands of stories! And, little animals will jump and have fun. To sleep in a grass.

So, for a long time, I want to do something about my friends – good and kind little animals. To remember about them. So, let`s start with duckling and his favorite place – dandelions in a field. There are lots of them in that place. Quack-quack! And, go to another dandelion. Look at this one. And, go to next one. There are lots of them here! How lots of dandelions are in the field! Quack-quack!

So, I have this ability – and send a hello – to all my friends – good and kind animals! And, I wait for a new countryside season to see all of them! They are, just, in spring will awake from a sleep after the winter. And they start, again, to run and do lots-lots of anything! Ahead, it will be a new summer, in the end!

it is just FASCINATING to me how the ads for Google Gemini seem entirely dedicated to "What's the single least useful thing we could suggest using GenAI for?"

Planning a date! Planning a holiday! Writing a cover letter for a job application! Designing an invitation for a Christmas dinner with your friends???

like I don't think there are that many good applications for this kind of genAI but if there are they sure as fuck aren't these

[labwc] Minimal + Dynamic Wallpaper Theming

Desktop: KDE Plasma 6.1.4 Wayland

OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed

Terminal: Kitty

Panel: Waybar

Launcher & Widgets: Rofi

Icons: Papirus (Pywal Accent color gets matched to the closet Papirus presets)

Accent Color: Accent from Wallpaper

Dotfiles: https://github.com/ulinaaron/dotfiles (Super rough, I've been in the weeds theming that I haven't cleaned up my mess)

I recently switched from Hyprland to Labwc. Mostly for simplicity and it covered most of my needs. I was able to port most of my custom scripting for theming. I started with a rudimentary foundation from Archcraft and continued to expand on top of it. I am now to the point where I have my own theming and templating system in bash to handle randomizing themes based on wallpapers in a directory. Instead of using Pywal templates I have opted to do my own. Some are full config files stored as templates, others are just color overrides. Not for everyone, but works for me.

I switch themes multiple times a day, thus my goal is my standard daily apps all get refreshed automatically or with relative ease.

trying to romanticize your computer is difficult when it's a piece of crap.

i know your organs are unfathomably old bits of crushed stardust made specifically to transmit trillions of electric signals into visual and aural stimuli that bless my senses like a prophet. but i still hate it when you can't run vanilla Minecraft and Spotify at the same time without crashing

You'd be surprised at how little Gen-Z understands how technologies & software actually works.

You'd think decades after we were in high school, that Computer Education & Software Applications would be promoted from being elective courses to being a requirement in the digital age.

This is likely because those in the education departments assume that Gen-Z and later would have the same knowledge & know-how as us Gen-Y do.

sorry for the ping, but since most of us deal with zip files here, I thought this was important.

PSA: If you use 7-zip, please check which version you are using.

24.07 and earlier are no longer secure and have a serious vulnerability so be sure to update to 24.08 (released 11-Aug-2024) if you have not updated or downloaded it recently.

Note that 7-zip does not auto-update, and should never be downloaded from anywhere except for from the Developers own website: https://7-zip.org/

Turns out our project actually compiles on Java 11 after we axed the javax namespace for jakarta (thanks Oracle for your shit licensing) and some "minor" tweaks. I mean do we get like 300 illegal reflection warnings but since when has that stopped anyone
