I swapped the bytes correctly for my platform.  I also ensured the endianess of the words matched my platform (byte endianess is not the sames as word endianess, fml).  Was driving home thinking about what could be wrong.  My mind saw this code:\n\nuint32_t newint;\r\nfor(int count=0; count<2; count++){\r\nnewint |= words[count] << count; \r\n}\n\nThen I am fuck!  It should be:\r\nnewint |= words[count] << (count*16);\n\nThis was later turned into float.  I kept getting values in the 1e-40 or some shit.  Now it makes sense.  The upper word was not set.\n\nThis is such newb shit.  Fuck you newb shit I should just know!\n\nReading more I realized that the endianess of words can vary between devices even though the spec calls for big endian words.  Fuck you non-compliant vendors!  So I gotta add a flag for fucked up devices.  Fine.  The pay off is a generic way to add modbus to our opcua server.  I want this easily editable in the field.

The string can hold 2GB.  Then there is a the server it will be served from in OPCUA.  Which I saw discussion of strings in the 77KB range.\n\nWe are using a json file to configure what points to read from a modbus device.  I am adding fields for name and notes.  I could limit these fields, but part of me wants to see if some customer tries to make the world burn.  For the most part we will be editing this file.  But the customer may want to as well.,So this just happened and I am mystified as to how.  When I talk on the phone with my cell phone in my left pant pocket I get a sensation of being poked with a hot pin in my leg about 1 to 2 inches above the phone.  It almost feels like the sensation of a bee sting.  It happened the other day as well.  I did not have this sensation with my 4G phone I just retired.  My new phone is 5G.  Its the most random thing and I would not have believed it.  So I search a bit and some dude has been experiencing some weird phone related pain for like 20 years.  Of course, none of the replies are constructive.  Just assholes poking fun at someone who is trying to understand what they are experiencing.\n\nI checked all of my clothing and there is nothing like a pin or anything stuck in my clothes.  The temperature outside is about 32 degrees.  So nothing actually stung me.  I am going to be pissed if its actually my phone.  Going to try putting it in another pocket to see what happens.  My hope is its my clothing pulling on a damn hair or something.  But it didn't do this at all when walking around the building without my phone.  Just when I walked outside.\n\nI can still feel the pain lingering in my leg with my phone on the desk.  I checked and the spot where I scratched at it is red.  Just another weird thing to deal with I guess.\n\nI always thought electrosensitives were nutjobs.

Being able to say controversial things we are not allowed to say other places?  \n\nIt feels like this place exists outside of time and reality.

I keep finding thing about Linux that make me think its kinda shit.  Maybe its just Gnome, but I don't know.  \n\nSo I startup VSCode.  Blank screen.  I do a search and find its gpu shit.  I start it up with argument to disable gpu accel.  Then I go into settings and turn of gpu accel.  It now works.  Cool that it has these options.\n\nWhat made me install VSCode.  I installed VSCode because I wanted a decent json editor.  I search for Linux json editors and I am bombarded by online editors being pushed by Linux websites.  Who the fuck in their right mind is going to use a fucking website editor for json data?  \n\nI \"had\" a decent json editor by running notepad++ under wine.  But since I turned on GPU in Linux Wine shit just doesn't work correctly anymore.  Which is the whole reason I went looking for an editor.\n\nHow can a platform like Linux take itself seriously when turning on GPU accelerated drivers breaks every fucking thing in the OS?  \n\nWhy did I enable GPU accel drivers in Linux?  Because updating to 22.04 caused all my java apps to draw incorrectly.  Enabling GPU fixes this shit.  So I enable GPU to fix one thing and then it breaks a bunch of other shit.\n\nThis shit right here is why I have trust issues with Linux.,Dude1: What is up with Thomas E. Kurtz?\r\nDude2: Basically?

Self taught (mostly) and could make all sorts of shit happen.  Then I started reading other people's codebases.  I got a huge dose of humility.  Learned a lot from other codebases in the process.  Eventually after a lot of languages and lot of practice I got a programming only job.  Started reading through the codebase.  Holy shit there are way worse programmers than me.  There is some really good code in there too, but 20 year old wtf code too.  I assume my perspective comes from seeing what good code can be.  I still have a lot to learn though.  That is the fun part.  You can spend a week on a minute detail of one language or one concept.  \n\nSo here are a few fun questions:\r\n1. What is the worst code, codebase, or programmer you ever met?\r\n2. What it the best code, codebase, or programmer you ever met?\n\nI have seen a few codebases on github that just told me to walk away.  Some of the best code I have found has been in game engines.  Probably because I look at a lot of game engine code (sampling bias).\n\nThe coolest library I have used has been Construct (Python lib).  It is a reversible protocol library.  It can deconstruct or construct a data stream.\n\nLeaving the off by 1 or more error in my post.,Took week off work.  Didn't do shit on my projects.

Wtf is Gboard and why is it a gig\n\nWhy is my WEATHER APP using a gig of storage?\n\nAnd none of the apps can I remove the storage they're using. The cache is like 600kb, and I can delete all data and it's using like 60 MB. So the fucking weather app executable itself is a gig of space? Wtf?\n\nI deleted the data for Gboard and turns out that's the keyboard. So now all my keyboard settings are fucked.\n\nThankfully I wrote syncing scripts ages ago to sync various folders from my phone to my external HDD. I just had to connect it to the laptop and run the script on the external HDD. Problem? Well turns out no matter what I do I can't get the laptop to connect to the phone if it's USB file transfer mode. I can do photos. But this is gonna be more than photos.\n\nSo I do my sync backup script from the laptop to the external HDD. This will sync the camera, since I have sync thing sync my laptop and phone all the time, so I can just sync the laptop to the external HDD and then delete the older photos and get 20gb. Quick fix for now\n\nWhy do I need this quick fix?\nWell\nGet this\nI've been having issues with my Gmail client for ages. It just won't display new email notifications which is really annoying because I need to know when emails get sent to me.\nNow I'm thinking, maybe I can de-sync older emails and have more storage space maybe? But that's not an option anywhere. Actually, I can't even unconnect an email address from my phone. Gmail doesn't even let you do that\n\nWhat the flying fuck is the state of modern technology\n\nNow I have to go figure out what my fucking settings were for my stupid phone keyboard\n\nThe 90s were much fucking saner than this garbage. I don't need a 32 GB operating system on a phone. Is this fucking windows 8? And let me fucking tell YOU how many fucking emails you should sync to my phone. Holy shit what the fuck is all this\n\nAt least my Linux scripts fucking work like I wrote them,if AI is so smart why doesn't it clean its own data, eh?!,I just want things to do on my phone that are intellectually going to be stimulating\n\nand not brainwashing\n\nis that so hard to ask for\n\nI can't keep playing sudokus all the time. the other day I wanted to go read a coding answer I asked an AI in my browser on my laptop but I was in bed on a voice chat with a sleeping person and didn't wanna get up out of bed to go fetch the laptop. my browser lets me see tabs I have open on other machines and this AI website makes a url with a unique id so you can browse to the chat you had, but it seems to not always work\n\nearlier in the day I had asked the AI a theoretical coding question and it answered, but I got distracted and needed to go do something before I finished reading it (it was long). but when I was in bed on my phone playing sudokus for intellectual stimulation, annoyed and bored it was the only thing I could do, I had the bright idea of opening the tab on my laptop through my phone. Vivaldi is great and this always works. unfortunately the AI website's unique id thing doesn't. it loaded the website by URL correctly but the AI website just took me to the home page and I had no chat history to read =[\n\nphones are literally computers but you can't do anything on them. can't watch videos without ads or bugs, if you load a lot of websites the tab management system sucks and performance is shit, controls for games suck even if you could find something not ad infested\n\nhell you can't even do a pedometer that's not trying to get you to \"log in\". bruh\n\nyou can't even browse GitHub code! at least last I checked. it's just awkward, their app\n\nI feel like I'm in a straitjacket in terms of technology and I wanna scream.

So, I was cycling home and my bicycle light died. And halfway, it was almost completely dark so I wanted to use the torch on my phone so I could at least see if I'm still on the bicycle road. That's how dark it was and it fucking refused. But then - someone caught up from behind and could follow that person until my exit (one I would've never had found anymore) cycled a hundred meters in pitch black until I saw lights of the park. God dammit, fucked up experience. If that cyclist with light wasn't there, I would've had to walk and hoping I was walking in a straight line. Normally I already go before it gets that dark because bicycle light nearly isn't enough.\n\nAnd that all, because those fuckers decide what you do with your last battery.

This is why, it doesn't show up in recommendations indeed, even when subscribed. Nobody presses like on their shit. Idiots,I think i came up with the ultimate captcha. A gif that displays four numbers, one by one in current position. There's always one number displayed. I do not think that AI can recognize it without some nasty adjustments while it's very clear for humans. A while ago I had to do a captcha with six questions and failed it a few times.

I can't get more out of it than 114 rants.,I'm the most ignored user of devrant regarding last week. Can you believe it? These stats summarize the amount of times that a message is not upvoted. It doesn't count mention's tho. A lot of people do not upvote if they mention. For more heartbreaking stats, see comments.\n\nAlso, poor GPT, always directly asked but one of the least appreciated by upvotes,It's still in development. It often says the opposite from what is expected. Try Retoor1b chatbot at https://llm.molodetz.nl\n\nThis was result after building bot + chat website from scratch including training with embeddings.

My dad bought it from his previous employer because he went for retirement. It has an ultrabook-grade 11th gen processor and he only bought it for 350,- euro. His former employer was a school, they don't give a fuck about money like a commercial company would do in such case. It's originally bought with tax money anyway. \n\nhttps://llm.molodetz.nl is currently online but not for long, i hope to have smth running at end of the weekend. Probably a 7b model. I have plans with it that require some performance so I won't use the heavy ones. \n\nRetoor1b currently is 0.5b or 1.5b. I forgot. The models with lower parameter count are a bit more naive and trainable like a kid. They're also not very biased yet. So, that will be my main new challenge. How to make a chat bot unethically human. No political correctness under this roof.\n\nWould be nice if i could make it a bit like bratgpt. Sounds like a joke, but that model is expensive as fuck. You'll be shocked. But i would like to implement some sarcasm in it. A bit unpredictable.

The other two would never lose a key I guess. I configured the new 'server' that it safes battery, configured for mostly on AC. \n\nI'm living on limited amount of cash (and will work again when i will run out). That's why i normally don't spend money myself on such things. So i'm now very happy. Fuck, this was about to be rant about how much my AI sucks but it ended in happy stuff. Oh well...\n\nIf you're still reading, you're the best!\n\nEdit:\r\nImages uploading broke again. Here is link: https://devrant.molodetz.nl/llm.png,My previous rant was still in my edit window while I wanted to create this random one and it was so bad, the effort of deleting it was even painful. Imagine reading it. You guys dodged a bullet like a Rust dev does with fun.\n\nI was in my bed, just thinking about Rust people. Saying that Rust is saying that sex with a condom is great but we both know the truth and that you're only doing it because your environment like your parents and government (the Biden administration, fact) wants you to.\n\nBut while thinking this, I just found the real issue regarding declining child births in the west. Every time in history had it's issues, but we're doing fine. What changed that we don't have make those sweet kiddo's now? Well, we just don't have power outages anymore and we have the internet on a device with hours of battery to keep us entertained. We don't have to take the rewarding and exciting  risk of a C dev anymore if we're bored (great sex without a condom).\n\nMy solution: planned internet outages executed by the MIVD (better than the CIA, the MIVD can at least keep secret what they're doing, I'm sure you've never heard of this tough bastards). The effects will be very easy measurable in a span of few years. But it has to be executed in secret so people don't cheat by downloading a Netflix movie upfront. Netflix & Chill is a hoax, else we would have a baby boom by now or we're all Rust devs. \n\nAnyway, even if you're a Rust dev, admit that this is a great inharmful idea that could actually help.\n\nI don't do jokes.\n\nPhone is birth control, change my mind like I did yours.\n\nYou're welcome.,It's me.

No weird phrases anymore that causes me to keep my connections to the account hidden. \n\nI want to make the content on molodetz professional so I can use it as reference for future employers and that means the name retoor will be associated with me. \n\nI stop using github under my own name. I realized that I can use my alias both for professional usage and the content here at the same time. With my real name I prefer not to.,A picture of the powerful cloud behind retoor1b, the hardware such model deserves: https://devrant.molodetz.nl/2024112...\n\nIt's blazing fast atm though: https://llm.molodetz.nl. It's just the base model.  \n\nRemote uploading of pictures isn't that bad tbh, now it's easy to share multiple and high quality. It won't be down as much as the LLM. This service runs on the VPS itself. Uploading is bit slow, don't know why. Probably buffer size related why using async to write the file to the disk. Disk is SSD, that's not it. LLM's run on different servers.,I'm a bit too busy for it, but if someone wants to make an auto spam down vote bot that uses three accounts to downvote spam automatically, I can make three e-mailadresses for you that you can use to create devrant accounts for the bots. Such bot would be very appreciated. Also, for AI enthousiasts - AI can recognize this with a 3b model probably.\n\nBut even a few keyword matching instead of AI is probably enough. Let's ban the word crypto in lower and uppercase. Case of the camel even and don't forget the snake. (Sorry dottii :P),I always wanted to post something under the devrant tag. \n\nI've worked on the anti spam bots! End result: one process handling four bots that down votes users with a low upvote count having certain content. What that certain content is, is still to be defined / fine tuned. Now it has very minimal criteria but it did successfully flag all spam posts tonight. Down vote function is not ready yet - I did not know what value to post. Probably @feuerherz / @Lensflare can provide that to me. \n\nNot my best source ever, it's made quite quickly and it literally started with c/p-ing stuff from everywhere like several devrant clients on github to make one complete one. They all sucked :P \n\nI hope to finish this project tomorrow night and it will be then of spam as far as I've seen how effective they are. \n\nThis is the source code: https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/...\r\nReview regarding code quality isn't needed for this one, since I've spent zero effort regarding quality. But tips about how to recognize scammers even better is highly appreciated. A review on other projects on molodetz would be appreciated btw, especially on C stuff. \n\nI go sleepii,Ragnar, the devRant anti spam service is ready! \n\nDown voting is implemented now. Will see at next spam message, what will be soon. They're crazy lately.\n\nThe anti spam service is added to systemd to one of my powerful servers. I promise that it will be more reliable than my LLM. \n\nIf you see a bot and no down votes, there must be something wrong or devRant still has to sync. Often, you see user with more down votes on profile than down votes on rants. Such scenario can happen.\n\nThat was it! Only some fine tuning left based on words / regex. \n\nGetting rid of all spam just took around around six hours coding including deployment on service.\n\nI hope it's appreciated.,Yes guys! The anti-spam bots work perfect! \n\nSee here: https://devrant.com/rants/11498784/...\n\nI forgot the 'reason' parameter. That parameter should've been equal to 2. That means 'spam post'. That's why it didn't work before.\n\nI gonna sleep. Retoor9b will take over for me and will respond if you mention me.,What developer does not belong to the list?

Like here: https://devrant.com/rants/11507563/...\n\nAlso, if some one is spamming, just say @ragnar in the comments and the spam bots will come to help in less than a minute. \n\nI used @ragnar, since that's the name of the anti spam system but it was already an existing use. He left dR, so fuck him! :)\n\nDon't abuse the power guys.,It's mayhem, the amount of spam. \n\nThese spammers have a contact form on their website: https://devrant.com/rants/11509744/...\n\nIt has no captcha: https://digitaltechguard.com/contac...\n\nI have time.

I probably was looking for a technical solution to something.  \n\nAlso, how long did it take before you registered? \n\nFound app or site first?\n\nIt took me more than a year or so before I decided to register. I'm a quite old user. Had a different account once. RIP.,Hi all!\n\nThere are four devrant clients (in the famous list, awesome devRant) regarding Python but they're all bad quality or incomplete. \n\nSo, I exported the asyncio api client that I made for my bot to his own package called devranta. The a in the end stands for async.\n\nSource code and pre-build packages can be found here: https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/...\n\nBy my knowledge, this is the most complete and highest quality Python client out there. \n\nI hope someone will use it someday. \n\nI keep just continuing building projects use or not as portfolio content. Also, i needed this client for another project. I want to make a bot that auto-corrects my English. Only the typo's / grammar will be fixed. They will remain my own sentences. So most texts won't be updated at all. It doesn't rewrite my texts. I created a web service for correcting English for that, i'll release that soon. Some minor fixes left. \n\nStill have to add types and such for all my \r\n python related projects. I consider them useless. Terrible to spend time on.,Some nasty fucker uploaded porn to my devrant file sharing service: https://devrant.molodetz.nl/.\n\nI don't care. It's allowed.

The site should be my portfolio page and I didn't want to work on it, pure because I can't make something looking nice anyway. \n\nNow, I have found out that gitea is highly customize-able. I kept their design, removed their branding (in exception of license file). I removed the idea that users or organizations exists. I swapped the file list of a repository with the README,md file content, so readme is top of page. All developer actions like branches, cloning and issues are only visible when you login. Added nice link to my mail webapplication in footer for own use. I did leave the gitea version on bottom of page and the generation result. Like that. \n\nEnd result: the ultimate markdown portfolio site for single user if not logged in. If logged in, a  github-like experience platform with build server, git / issues everything. \n\nSo, now I have both! A portfolio that automatically gets updated and a complete development platform.  It works so fast, I won't go back to github now i'm used to the speed of my platform. 1ms for frontpage, 8ms for repository list. \n\nIt's nice to have your own website that you use intensively every day, being the owner of your own content.,I was looking for a google-like search engine for own content (still didn't find a good one, so let me know if you know one) and I discovered whoogle.

I had heard the hype about Bitcoin and the potential for massive returns, so I decided to take the plunge and invest a significant portion of my savings. Lured in by promises of easy riches and assured of the security of my funds, I entrusted my hard-earned money to an online platform that claimed to be a reputable Bitcoin exchange. Little did I know that I was about to embark on a harrowing journey filled with betrayal, loss, and a desperate search for a way to recover my stolen assets.\n\nAs I logged in to check on my investment, I was met with the devastating realization that my account had been cleaned out, the balance reduced to zero. Panic and disbelief set in as I grappled with the harsh truth - the platform I had trusted had been nothing more than a sophisticated scam, designed to fleece unsuspecting investors like myself. With my funds vanished and no clear path forward, I felt utterly powerless and betrayed, my dreams of financial security shattered in an instant. The journey that followed was a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with uncertainty, frustration, and glimmers of hope when I was directed to Salvage Asset recovery. The Salvage methods were shrouded in mystery, and progress seemed painfully slow, but I clung to the belief that they would ultimately succeed. After what felt like an eternity of waiting and uncertainty, the Salvage finally announced a breakthrough \u2013 they had managed to trace the stolen Bitcoin and were in the process of recovering it, piece by piece.

But wait, what's this? A delightful new feature designed to keep us on our toes: the 'Disable All Extensions for This Workspace' command. Because who doesn't love a good surprise, especially when it involves disabling all the tools we painstakingly set up?\n\nPicture this: you're in the zone, about to format your document as usual. You hit Ctrl + Shift + P, type 'for', and expect the familiar 'Format Document' to greet you. But no! Instead, 'Disable All Extensions for This Workspace' has decided to make a guest appearance at the top of the list. How thoughtful! It's as if VS Code is saying, \"Hey, let's make things interesting by turning off all your extensions without warning.\"\n\nAnd the fun doesn't stop there. Once you've accidentally disabled all your extensions, there's no magical 'undo' button to save the day. Nope, you get the joy of manually sifting through your extensions list, re-enabling each one like it's 1999. And let's not forget the mandatory restarts\u2014one to unload the extensions and another to load them back up. Because who doesn't love losing their undo history and breaking their workflow?\n\nSo, dear VS Code developers, thank you for adding a dash of unpredictability to our coding sessions.
