  • China raises the price to $6 to compensate, Taiwan to $5.90

    Not quite. It’s not the foreigners who pay the tariffs, it’s the locals. The tariff is charged at customs when the product enters the country and the people paying that are the people doing the importing. Tariffs don’t bring more money into the country, they just penalize local people who import goods from overseas. It’s a tax. Back when Republicans were consistent they hated all taxes, heh.

    From the point of view of the local consumer it makes no difference - the price rises unless there is a locally made substitute they can buy instead.

    Ehh, it’s ok in the case of JetBrains - if your subscription lapses your license converts to a ‘perpetual fallback license’ so can just continue using the version you installed when the subscription was originally purchased.

    I’m using a 4 year old version of PhpStorm with no issues and no subscription. My PyCharm sub ended 6 months ago and I’m staying on the 2023 version of PyCharm because the latest version comes with lots of AI which makes my CPU fans scream continuously.





  • So weird!

    Very unlikely to be a proxmox issue.

    134217728 bytes is only 138 MB so your php memory limit is set lower than you think. Your php config needs work. Restart Apache and php-fpm (if using) after changing php.ini and use phpinfo(); to check that your changes were applied successfully.

    A memory limit of 256 MB should be ok.







  • I’ve had a Tidal subscription for about a year. It’s recommendation algo is way way better than Spotify and there are none of those spammy 1 minute tracks that Spotify has because ‘artists’ have gamed the system.

    They don’t have a Linux app but the PWA works fine. Minimize the window to reduce CPU usage (I know that sounds crazy but it actually works).

    I’ve been learning docker over the last few weeks and it’s been very helpful for writing and debugging docker-compose configs. My server how has 9 different services running on it.

    I use it for python development sometimes, maybe once per day. I’ll paste in a chunk of code and describe how I want it altered or fixed and that usually goes pretty well. Or if I need a generic function that I know will have been coded a million times before I’ll just ask ChatGPT for it.

    It’s far from “useless” and has made me somewhat more productive. I can’t see it replacing anyone’s job though, more of a supplemental tool that increases output.
