Hope I won't regret this: Does anyone here live in a van?
  • Yeah it's right-hand drive, not a problem but can be a bit sketchy merging onto roads where I don't have good vision to my left. Took the ferry from Dover (England) to Calais (France).

    Also I've decided to go to Georgia instead of Cyprus, think I'll get bored there as I'll be restricted to the Turkish side.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • MOBA games, I spent years playing heroes of newerth and Dota2, but as I got older and had less time to play it got increasingly harder to keep up with all the changes, and I realised it was just making me stressed playing it rather than enjoying it. Still enjoyed watching The International for a few years after I quit though.

  • What movie have you rewatched the most?
  • Honestly it might be Finding Nemo. I think it was the first DVD we had and my younger sister was obsessed with it, so I'd watch it a lot with her. Things I'd watch at my own accord it's probably LOTR or Harry Potter though.

  • Sam Altman accused of being shady about OpenAI’s safety efforts
  • nothing

    I disagree with that, I've found it useful for programming, travel, and fleshing out creative ideas. I would say it's limited and isn't a real replacement for a proper expert, but as an always available service there's certainly value.

  • Earbuds recommendations?
  • Do you want wired or wireless? If wireless check out the Moondrop space travel, if wired then Moondrop Aria, linsoul tin t2, there's plenty of chifi options that'll outperform any name brand stuff.

  • How an empty S3 bucket can make your AWS bill explode
  • Yeah in my last role we were probably the biggest user of a certain storage service that was still kinda new, there were quite a few times we found bugs, features that straight up didn't work how the documentation stated, and aws sent us workaround scripts that seriously looked like an unpaid intern wrote.

    I'm not sure if GCP/Azure would be much different though.

  • I can't code.
  • I'm somewhat of a programmer, but there's ideas everywhere in life. My bank came out with an API so I built an app that pulls it all down, stores it in a database, and makes some pretty graphs. Had no experience in fullstack or backend development before (I'm a sysadmin/cloud engineer), so it took me a really long time and I was following a course but adapting it to my project for a lot of it.

    The other day I picked up an old game (Mu online) that is soooo grindy it even gives you an in-game bot to play for you, but if you die you just respawn in a safe zone. So I've started writing a script that reads the screen (character position is shown in x, y coordinates on screen), and those coordinates are within a given area (the safe zone) it will alert me. Again, had no experience with any of the window controls or image to text conversion (tesseract), but got chatgpt to help me a bit. Will it save me time? Maybe a little. Will I stop playing this game in a month? More than likely. Did I learn something? Absolutely.

    I'm self taught but working in tech there's obviously more work related use cases to actually start learning, but there's every-day stuff you can do too.
