It’s the only time normies encounter the word.

How do you feel about crypto?

They don’t have to, algorithms do whatever they are designed to do. Long division is an algorithm.

Profit motives are the issue here.

Agreed. OP was doing well until they replaced the if statements with ‚function call || throw error’. That’s still an if statement, but obfuscated.

Started learning web development.

Self hosting is pretty great right now. Immich, Tailscale, truenas, docker, vaultwarden - you can solve so many of your own problems with any old computer you have lying around

It’s not conventional wisdom, but I’m happiest with arch.

• I’m familiar with it
• can install basically any package without difficulty
• also love that I never have a gigantic version upgrade to deal with. sure there might be some breaking change out of nowhere, but it’ll show up in my rss feeds and it hits all my computers at the same time so it’s not hard to deal with.
• Arch never really surprises me because there’s nothing installed that didn’t choose to put there.
• arch wiki

Tempted by nixos but I CBA to learn it.

Wait he actually calls himself uncle bob? Creeper

• you do not need kubernetes
• you do not need anything to be „high availability”, that just adds a ton of complexity for no benefit. Nobody will die or go broke if your homelab is down for a few days.
• tailscale is awesome
• docker-compose is awesome
• irreplaceable data gets one offsite backup, one local backup, and ideally one normally offline backup (in case you get ransomwared)
• yubikeys are cool and surprisingly easy to use
• don’t offer your services to other people until you are sure you can support it, your backups are squared away, and you are happy with how things are set up.

If you can avoid it, don’t open ports in your firewall, don’t publish your home IP address, and keep everything behind a VPN. If only you and your family will be using these services, go with Tailscale or one of its competitors. Otherwise, VPS or cloudflare tunnel/competitor.

Yes, “It’s us or the porn”, yes this will certainly go well for the republicans, no notes

It’s not extrapolation on my part, the HTML spec is pretty direct about it:

6. Then, if the element is one of the void elements, or if the element is a foreign element, then there may be a single U+002F SOLIDUS character (/), which on foreign elements marks the start tag as self-closing. On void elements, it does not mark the start tag as self-closing but instead is unnecessary and has no effect of any kind. For such void elements, it should be used only with caution — especially since, if directly preceded by an unquoted attribute value, it becomes part of the attribute value rather than being discarded by the parser.

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/syntax.html#start-tags

I don’t think it’s an extrapolation to say that code which is “unnecessary and has no effect of any kind” should be omitted.

And yeah, I linked the MDN docs because they’re easier to read but if they disagree then obviously the spec is the correct one.

🤓 ackshually that’s not the HTML spec. Void elements should not have trailing slashes.

I’ll repeat here what I said on discord:

I’m no fan of stallman, but I like his quote: “I’m happy to pay for good software so long as it’s free”.

It’s important to remember that anyone with the skill to work on this project could earn a pretty good living elsewhere. We can debate the terminology, but at the end of the day devs gotta eat.

Personally, so long as it stays on the GPL they can call us “god-kings” and “filthy peasants” for all I care

Important bits that came up in the discord and I haven’t seen here:

• User license is only there to make it cheaper for small instances.No word I’ve seen on transitioning from a user license to a server license down the road. Looks like you can switch by contacting them, and they have plans to do it automatically in the future.
• It looks like enforcement is basically nonexistent. You could activate multiple servers with one license, or just flip a value in the db yourself
• The reason they aren’t using “supporter” or “contributor” is because they don’t want it to sound like charity. It’s a transaction.

Holy fuck I haven’t thought about old Greg in awhile

DDG for me, but mostly I use !wi and !gh. Pretty rare to do a rawdog search

second time doesn’t take two days, but yeah you’re right.

Those two days aren’t really spent configuring, they’re spent learning.

no you see they told us very clearly in the first episode that aang is very fun and happy and goofy so they dont need to show that stuff

If people wanna steal my code they can steal it, it’s why I publish it. It’s not that good anyway

I don’t agonize over every line of public code or anything, I just make it reasonably maintainable and generalized enough to be useful to people who aren’t me. If it’s a throwaway bash script with hardcoded paths and such, why would I put it up anywhere?
