It’s not working well for most of the globe, which is being exploited, their resources stolen, their people doing absolute worst jobs imaginable.
Just so the west can act like they are the greatest the humanity has to offer.
I mean yeah, I selfhost everything, but I hate that i have to learn and support the most useless shit ever just to earn a living.
It used to be fun being a dev, now I’m just repeating the same warning phrases about technologies.
I’m losing my will to live lately at an alarming rate.
I used to love IT, way back at the start of 00s.
Soon after the 10s started, I noticed bullshit trends replacing one another… like crypto or clouds or SaaS… but now with the AI I just feel alienated. Like we’re just all going to hell, and I hate the first row seating.
You can get rid of every rich person in existence, and still not be free from the system.
The problem is the system itself.
Fuck the rich, but fuck the system harder.
So we are moving away from >1GB node_modules finally? Or is it too soon?
What ‘both countries’ are we talking about?

I got used to not owning their games.
Every container package delivery system will have issues with access - be it filesystem, other processes, whathaveyou.
Which is not an issue you want beginners to face.
Which is why I suggest Mint - which does not use snap by default at all. It just goes down much easier.
No snap by default is on its own a huge difference. Far from window dressing.
If you give a new user snaps, many things will not work as they expect, and that is not a hurdle beginners should have to pass.
Nobody cares about kernel, I don’t even know anyone who builds their own (I use Gentoo btw), they either go bleed, or stable, nothing in between.
But package delivery matters a lot.
Because he is getting blamed all the time, no one is defending that piece of shit. He has been a thorn in everybodys side for very long.
Musk, on the other hand, is still seen as a genious hero by some people.
Yes, I hate it.
Use Mint - it works better than Ubuntu, Canonical has made enough ‘mistakes’ to get on the blacklist.
Just self-host it? It’s open-source, that will last you a lifetime.
That sounds great, let me know how it works for you.
Really depends on many factors. If you have everything in RAM, almost nothing matters.
If your dataset outgrows the capacity, various things start to matter, based on your workload. Random reads need to have good indices (also writes with unique columns), OLAPs benefit from work_mem, >100M rows will need good partitioning, OLTP may even need some custom solutions if you need to keep a long history, but not for every transaction.
But even with >B of rows, Postgres can handle it with relative ease, if you know what you’re doing. Usually even on a hardware you would consider absolutely inadequate (last year I migrated our company DB from MySQL to Postgres, and with even more data and more complex workflows we downsized our RAM by more than half).
