PCMCIA but we don’t need to use it much nowadays

Not to vegans, they’re clinically insane.

Oh, you’re one of the kind I left reddit because of. Lets see if there are any blocking tools on lemmy.

OH and you ALSO have -5 reputation ALREADY.

What is wrong with you?

I know for a fact I’ve aged past plasticity and IPv6 will never be ‘natural’ but then as far as IT guys go, literally no one I work with is younger than me lol!

I’m retiring soon and fine without spending more of my life expanding a knowledge set I may only use for a few more years, that said I am ABSOLUTELY into crypto and was an early miner before GPUs got edged out.

As far as AI writing code: It simply is the future. I am not exaggerating.

At some point humans will not write line by line code and being a coder will mean ‘knowing how to best instruct AI to make code, then reviewing and verifying it’, and at some point the code AI will write will be incomprehensible to human reading, just like how antennas are designed today.

We are in the infancy of it but I GUARANTEE you there is at lease 2 groups right now training AI on codebases alone.

Guaran-fucking-tee

And the stuff they will make will FLOOD the market with cheap, quick apps and basically turn hand coding into an artisan work or for specific use instances.

That’s a pretty good idea actually but may not cleanly translate to existing infrsatructure.

I got some inspiration from the Dark Souls messages system, and how it can be cross language

This is undeniably true though as I am tasked as the security monitor for several tiny LANs, NOT letting every device have DMZ access has its advantages.

Maybe I’m just too greybeard to want to change. I love IPv6 for infrastructure and personal devices. For my home LAN and those I am responsible for, a tightly nailed down IPv4 environment is what I prefer.

I’ll leave the massive address space and IoT readiness to you young and upcoming packet jockys, and in my retirement will marvel at the wonders you create.

For now, you’ll get your DHCP and you’ll like it if you want to stay in my house young man!

IPv6 is all well and good until you need to read of an IP address for a call or write it down if you don’t have copy-paste UI access.

Then you will pine for the days of four octets.

I think a reputation system is important, though reddit’s current karma implementation is bad, there needs to be a method of identifying bad actors and forum shifters.

One refinement over karma could be that the score is kept only by community and should reflect that users contribution to the community.

Simple upvotes and downvotes also don’t allow for nuance, replace them with a Buzzfeed like tag system (yes I know we all hate the site for its content but its tag system if used properly could be pretty powerful.

So instead of ‘up’ and ‘down’, you have a clickable emoji-menu like list of tags like ‘interesting’, ‘boring’, ‘funny’, ‘WTF!?’, ‘Quality’, ‘Trash’, ‘Educational’, ‘CAT’, etc…

So the reputation score for the community isn’t just a flat number, rather it will tell you the kind of content a person posts over time, and doesn’t carry just flat positive or negative connotation.

I mean the king of Catposting may have massive reputation in meme subs with high ranks in tags for ‘Funny’, ‘Cute’, and ‘CAT’ though that might not be the case if they participate in say a chemistry QnA community.

As these scores are created over time based on each users contributions (post AND comment reputation is the same thing) to the sub as scored by other people’s tag selections for that users posts. The more it aligns with the community, the greater their contribution score.

Does this mean that toxic communities can form that exclude people based on reputation tags that the toxic community detests?

Unfortunately yes, that is one of the flaws of the system.

THOUGH

The fact it is contained by community means that a high rep person in an anti-trans community will not have any carryover reputation when joining a community they wish to brigade or degrade the quality of content, and their tag history will make it easy to determine their genuine engagement.
