CIRCLE WITH A DOT

I still have that RP2040 with the two buttons and the KNX/IP stack sitting on my desk behind my keyboard and when I'm not developing on it, I am actually using the buttons to turn the lights on and off...I should get a Stream Deck or something like that to control lights and shades in the office and just put that below my screen.

@sven Oh yeah, I do this too. Pair this with an MCP server in Ghidra or IDA and it even rips through smaller binaries like nothing.And yes, fuck the hype. I still use them a lot to code, but often the thing just types faster than I do or does a refactor with less friction when I have to touch four implementations of that one trait I just modified. But sometimes, when I use it to plan a feature or a bigger refactor, it genuinely has really good ideas that I end up sticking with. Not sure if this still counts as vibe coding though.What I hate the most is that I am reliant on hosted services for all this. Heck, I am throwing Anthropic 100€ per month into its throat and at the same time, they are not even profitable. It feels like we are getting our first shots of heroin for free and soon the dealer wants to see some serious cash.I really want to host something like Opus myself, but that is so crazily out of reach it's not funny anymore. I thought about getting a Radeon AI Pro R9700, but after checking what kind of models I am able to run on it, I deemed it an absolute waste of money.

The concept of being sick should have no future in my opinion. There are absolutely no benefits that come with it.

I remember the times when PHP set register_globals to off by default starting with version 4.2.0. I am old.

@G33KatWork completely fair. You don’t owe anybody anything, least of all an explanation, but I appreciate it nonetheless. Truth is I have zero knx gear, and am unlikely to acquire any legitimate kit here in South Africa. But I do like the idea of it, and would be keen to try some home brew version if/when available.

Gibt's in Aachen noch gute Indische Restaurants die sich nicht selbst die Bude anzünden und das versuchen als rechte Attacke zu framen um Versicherungsbetrug zu begehen und Spenden abzugreifen? Die waren echt lecker...

Dumpster fires like CVE-2026-20841 are why I love computers, computer security and everything around it. I live for this kind of shit and find it hilarious. I'm not mad at all, just immensely entertained.

The Okta subdomain of my old employer is so ingrained in my muscle memory that I still regularly visit it and try to log in with the credentials of my new employer. And it takes me a few tries to realize why authentication fails all the time. 🫣
