Do package managers for Linux distros have this, like dnf/yum/apt/pacman? I use min-release-age =14 for npm now as a default but should start using it everywhere it's possible

My favorite description of JAVA is that it's a language where you are deploying instant legacy code.

Hell yeah that's the most sane and efficient personal dev sandboxing work flow I've heard and shows you know your stuff. Just basics but executed very well.

Luckily for me, I lost all my coins very early on Mt Gox so the lessons were learnt and mistakes not repeated (which means exiting crypto, watching the show in amusement)

Yeah apparently it's news in 2026 that banks can actually keep their assets secure in comparison to the web3 clown fiesta. Of course banks do get compromised but not anywhere close to this degree.

Bits about money explains why: the (normal) financial system is slow for a reason: if a bank suddenly tries to transfer 5.6B all other banks will call their contact for confirmation and then take 2 business days to process the transaction, more or less.

Stealing anything is easy, escaping and converting to cash is the hard bit, and crypto makes it easy to vanish with your money in literal seconds.


Well I've learnt my lesson after having lost 3 bitcoins as a student on Mt gox I finished writing my thesis on blockchain technology and then never touched crypto again.

Did you do the bankruptcy proceedings? They payed out quite well.

Turns out there was decent money to be made in having your MtGox Bitcoin stolen.


Nah I was a student struggling with responsibilities and decided to play World of warcraft instead before getting my shit together a few years later and becoming an engineer.

Only paid 800€ for the 3 bitcoin, which was significant but not necessarily essential.

I'm glad the people were made whole to some degree!


I think it's too late, but I'd consider seeing if you can still get into those bankruptcy proceedings. If you held 3 BTC there, you could expect around 30 000$ from the proceedings.

They closed registration for the proceedings many times. Which means they also re-opened it multiple times.

I'd expect the registration is permanently closed, but worth checking out.


Yeah sure. Let's talk again in 3 months once a new paradigm has been invented to further abstract and alienate us from the work we are doing.

That is the trend for sure. Duet is where I go from an agent manager to a manager of agent managers, and I have mixed feelings about that.

Much respect indeed and I admire that effort! All I do now is have the LLM generate SVG images of its implementation planfiles for me to review a pretty image because it's become too advanced for me to parse the markdown in appropriate time.

At least you haven’t spent two weeks in AI strategy meetings with people who have used AI to come up with a strategy for AI to implement because if we don’t, our single competitor will win the AI arms race.

Our products are both mature, entirely finished, fully deterministic and the last attempt at this using the same approach just burned all the money that was spent instead of generating any new revenue.


Yo I'm also strictly apolitical and never had an issue with relationships or social circles, I just tell everyone I meet that "I do not talk politics, because maintaining my mental health is a full time job without putting the weight of the entire country/world onto my shoulders in addition" and so far they've all understood. The radicals who wouldn't understand I just say goodbye to, but this hasn't happened yet.


Hetzner is awesome, I prefer it to aws for personal projects, feel free to analyze my modularized instance setup with an LLM and rip out what you need, it's all hand built, most of the engineering went into cloud-init and network security - before machines could generate the same in hours lul

killer! will take a look - I need a digital ocean alternative.
