(#bzrkbqq) @mckinley@twtxt.net I liked restic because its portable and written in Go. It supports all the features I want/need, multiple storage backends/locations, snapshots, etc. I can easily verify data integrity as well. I haven’t tried to restore from backups fully (only partially). The tools is just very well written and very easy to automate and work with.

(#ypvbypa) @xuu@txt.sour.is I’ve seen worse. Companies that sell customers “data security” and tell you they split the key into 3 parts. They tell you there’s no way they can ever see the full key because you have one third, they have the 2nd third and their trusted “3rd-party” has the other third (which they have access to for backup reasons).

🤦‍♂️ wtf 😳

I played with nlpodyssey/verbaflow: Neural Language Model for Go today a little bit today…. First I had to download a ~2GB file (the model), then convert that to a format the program verbaflow understands which came out to roughly ~5GB. Then I tried some of the samples in the README. My god, this this is so goddamn awfully slow its like watching paint dry 😱 All just to predict the next few tokens?! 😳 I had a look at the resource utilisation as well as it was trying to do this “work”, using 100% of 1.5 Cores and ~10GB of Memory 😳 Who da fuq actually thinks any of this large language model (LLM) and neural network crap is actually any good or useful? 🤔 Its just garbage 🤣

(#uy2hfma) These are my thoughts currently (from IRC):

[10:40:20]  <prologic> Thinking about writing a do nothing framework in Go
[10:41:10]  <prologic> One in which consumers can define their procedure in their own repo
[10:42:07]  <prologic> And users can of the tool can execute any procedure that the binary has imported
[10:42:58]  <prologic> And eventually implement Run() to turn steps from manual ones to automated ones gradually
[14:51:34]  <xuu> Like for mocking against?
[14:51:43]  <xuu> Not sure I follow
[16:03:04]  <prologic> xuu basically for reducing the activation energy to complete otherwise manual procsses
[16:03:14]  <prologic> where you can gradually turn them into automated processes
