I see, that’s interesting. I do a lot of transcoding but offline so i don’t have usage for such a cache. I’ve tested various storage solutions but on my setup, transcoding is always CPU-bound, even on old ass HDDs the bottleneck is never I/O.
VMs mostly
oh yeah i see how that can be hungry
What are you hosting on Minecraft that isn’t using >=4 gigs?
Just a vanilla server i play on with my son, it’s got 2G and i haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary. Chunk gen is slow-ish but i suppose that’s CPU-bound.
BTW i exagerated in my initial comment, i looked at the machine and it’s sitting just under 8G of used RAM.
Also ZFS
Jesus christ 😅 no idea if you’re jesting
Serious question, what does RAM help with in the context of self hosting? I recently bought 32G for my server, and it’s DDR3 ecc so it’s so cheap I could have afforded 64 but I just kept wondering what will I use it for? I rarely go north of 6G usage and that’s with half a dozen services, a Minecraft server etc… I just don’t know what kind of services are RAM hungry.
Exactly. And a commit is a commit. Unless it’s 10Kloc in one go you can just read what’s in it and decide for yourself.
At my previous job we used to jokingly (?) tell our engineering manager “no commits, no opinions” well I think it’s kinda like that.
And that’s great for you but I still think you’ll be in a minority. Which is not necessarily bad of course.
Open Source devs mostly come from the industry and the penetration of agentic coding in the industry has been massive over the last six months. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything of this scale.
I think disclosure is good and should be tackled as soon as possible because being transparent in your communication is just good practice in general.
However I feel like this will soon be rendered useless as all projects will move to agentic (or otherwise ai-assisted) coding.
Maybe there’ll be a movement of hand coded FOSS but realistically they’ll have a hard time. Resources are already tight for most projects, and rejecting productivity in favor of aesthetics is a rich guy’s strategy.
This whole debacle is showing that people fundamentally misunderstand how code works. They are trying to declare code good or code bad because of some silly heuristics like ai/not-ai, as if it wasn’t literal lines of text which you can read before you form an opinion and make a fool of yourself.
Recently finished a side project and I was glad I could go with pure login/pass auth. No email no oauth, just a pass phrase for account recovery. It’s refreshing and so damn simple.
And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Gloves are off.
What a load of brainrot. You’re a psychopath if you believe it’s okay to campaign against a volunteer developer for the sin of having created free stuff in a way that doesn’t 100% aligns with your values. On reddit, lemmy, fucking Xitter of all places, on Discord, on Github. Yup. Totally normal way to treat a guy who’s been pivotal to gaming on linux for 2 decades while you sat on your collective asses.
I get that we live in an ultra-individualistic moment of history, where people like you feel empowered to shit on the efforts of others. I get that the current geo/politic/economic situation has you convinced that you can do anything to anyone without any repercussions ever. You’re just learning by example after all.
I also get that the social media climate would have you believe this is normal human behavior. But it is not. Fuck you and your ilk.
I like the implication
Then you’re reading it wrong. My comment says nothing of the sort.
The implication here is that it’s better not to publish open source code because somewhere down the road, you might make a decision that some crowd doesn’t like and they will start messing with your shit. If you do your own thing in private, hand code it if you like, vibe code it if you like, you don’t have any problem and you’re safe. If you write private code for your corporate overlord, no problem, you’re safe AND you’re getting paid. But if you share your stuff, and you’re unlucky enough that it becomes popular, then some internet mob might harass you at some point.
In that context you’d be pretty stupid to donate your time and energy to anything open. You’ll get maybe 10 contributors in a decade, willing to help you along the way. But one misstep and you’ll get hundreds of haters. The game just isn’t worth it.
Yeah i get it. It’s just that the whole situation pisses me off to no end. There are exponentially more people destructively contributing to this campaign, than people constructively contributing code to projects. Cause it’s easy and lazy and takes literally zero effort.
The only effect is to punish developers for having successful projects. They’d be fine if they were just dicking around on toy projects, but they chose to do something that matters, and to do it for free, and now they have haters. A lot more haters than helpers too !
We are collectively sending the message that it’s better not to stick your head out and publish open source code, and this will wreak havoc on the already overtaxed FOSS ecosystem. Corporate tech must be rubbing its hand in glee now that we’re doing what they never achieved in 30 years.
That doesn’t mitigate the environmental damage caused by others using it. I’m not opposed to the technology, nor strictly to its application, but to the irresponsible wau it’s being handled currently.
Well i guess that’s a great reason to harass individuals who never wished harm on anybody then 🤷
Opposing GenAI is free. Do it. It just consists of not using the software you don’t agree with. It’s great I do it all the time.
Coordinating attacks on social media to harass a developer is not great. It’s 4chan-like but at least the 4chan goblins know that they are the bad guys. This is just as slimy but with none of the self awareness.
Oh great the campaign of harassment is continuing. Keep going guys, hopefully you can get another dev to quit a project, and I know none of the people commenting here have what it takes to fork and maintain it.
You wouldn’t be doing anything different if you were getting paid by corporate interests to hurt the open source movement. Great job you can be proud of yourselves.
Go back to 4chan, troll
