From 'Javascript' then 'jquery' 😬 then 'angular 1' 😐..wait their is 'angular 2' damn this just a new framework compared to angular 1.(back-end) 'Nodejs' 😩, wait! you have to learn 'Express' after sometime upgrade to 'Hapi' wait now am on 'loopback' can't we just have one standard framework 😣😣😣

(maybe) unpopular opinion

I hate the I'm at 127.0.0.1|localhost meme
It's a loopback address

It's like saying I live at home

Like why do people think it's funny or smart to post stuff like that

Even the doormat that was going around isn't necessary accurate, since it's per machine (in this case a human).
Like if you have the home saying it's localhost then you are obviously not.

Maybe I'm just being mean here but it's like really annoying after a while

Fucking Jenkins.... Why do you hate me so

Pro tip:

Make sure you can RECOVER from your backups.

It's all well and good backing this and that up, but make sure that when the shit really hits the fan you can recover.

I've now 4 days into recovering a raspberry pi that ran:
Pi-hole
Snort
DHCP
VSFTP
Logwatch
Splunk forwarder
Grafana

And serveral other things... I've learnt my lesson

Ok... So I've just received 2 lots of 2u Dell PowerEdge 2950s , 6x2TB WD Greens, 6x assorted Seagate drives (misc size) .

Totally. Fucking. Free.

A friend at work use to self host, and doesn't need them anymore , I offered to buy but he wouldn't have it! Friends are the best!

Managed to make myself look like a fucking moron again today...

Can't mount NFS share, get "permission denied". Huh, that's weird... It's correctly exported.

Well it's correctly exported and rpcinfo -p $HOST times out... Must be firewall rule.

Firewall rule is changed but still no joy "permission denied"... Fuck sake networks, can't you do anything right first time?!!!

Firewall rule is correct I am reliably informed... Go about proving that it's not fucking correct and provide "evidence" to show this, I was a little bit more blunt than was strictly required.

Networks say they will take another look.

I turn NFS logging to verbose for my own interest and notice the line "path/to/directory is not a valid directory".

I, as a moron, had missed a "/" at the start of the path. That's why I still couldn't mount after the firewall change.

Go over and apologise in person and explain how I'm a total idiot.

Ok I give up. I concede. I can't take one more second of trying to get ANY window manager to run under Arch with an Nvidia GPU.

Back to Debian it is...

I have a raspberry pi addiction ... Please send help!

To the Devs at OnePlus,

Who ever wrote the code that lets me swap the 'back' and 'show recent apps' buttons so they're like my old phone.... You're a fucking god

I love Unix, Linux all that shit (macOS can fuck off though). But why WHY WHY does every pissing update have to break something?! Guys I need fucking networking, not even intertubes just basic networking.

Anyway, I've come up with a solution. It is quicker for me to install a new OS and restore files from backup than to fix it, so that's what I do.

I have an irrational fear that I'll be sacked when I come back from a holiday.

I came back from my holiday this morning and within seconds of sitting down I was asked to not login because "we needed a quick chat"... Great start to the week....

(Wasn't sacked btw)

You should probably go to bed now. That next line can wait until tomorrow!

How d'yall live without a boss who is an incredibly experienced developer?!

To those who have a corporate dickhead as a boss, you all have my sympathy

Ansible... Why do one simple task manually, when you can do many smaller more complex ones automatically?

My friend and me sit next to each other in the class.
One day, he tell me about his family. they have code equivalent of most common English words.

when the COVID-19 pandemic occur in our country, his father warn everyone in the house by saying

stay.at("127.0.0.1")
wear("255.255.255.0")

everyone start to

search(mask)
return tohome;

========================================

127.0.0.1 is a loopback address. aka localhost
IP masking is a way to hide your real IP.
255.255.255.0 is an example of subnet mask for IP

we used Ruby in this story.

We had a guy come over to talk us through some source code we'd bought and we binded over vim colour schemes. So magical

There is a serious possibility that our team will need to deploy into prod on a Friday because of a regulatory deadline and 3rd parties not being ready.

God help us

Have I mentioned fuck loopback?

I'm getting pretty fed up with dependency injection and having to do work in Loopback; why cant it just work!

Spend 1 hour learning to configure networking interfaces via command line on an ubuntu VM for home use.

Can't ping anything.

Double check /etc/network/interfaces, restart box, check loopback interface functions, check physical cabling.

Realize that VM is attached to a separate virtual switch.

Virtual switch is tagged for Vlan 2, connected router is a flat topology.

Face palm.

Loopback is the Wordpress of api building. As in, it seems helpful up front, but will all come crashing down on you the moment you try to do something they didn't think of first.

Don't use Loopback. Don't let your friends use Loopback.

I guess it has to be keybase. Keybase chat is now my go-to web based chat.

Using NaCl keys makes life so much easier but you have the choice of using PGP if you need to for encrypting files/text.

Ok... I am defeated I don't know what else to try...

Do you guys have any experience with ansible vault? I have my SSH password stored on a vault. It's referenced in my host file like this:
-----START SNIPPET-----
[LCL:vars]
ansible_ssh_pass='{default_pass}'

[LCL]
myhost ansible_user=my username
-----END SNIPPET-----

default_pass is stored as a yaml variable in passed.yml that I supply using --extra-vars '@passwd.yml'

When I enter my vault password I get an exception 'non hexadecimal digit found'.

The password is right for the vault, the vault file is in PWD .... I cannot find anything helpful.

Any ideas?

I wrote a networking test program that connects to my machine within the address range of 127.0.0.0/8.

The program keeps locking up.

I guess I am just hangin' with my homies...

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK LOOPBACK. Fuck it right in the dickhole. Fuck IBM for paying the salary on this piece of shit. Fuck all of the copy pasting I have to do, fuck the fact that it never knows what fields my type will or will not have, fuck the 4 different versions of the docs they have for each version of this dumpster fire of a framework. This is the dumbest codebase I have ever worked with, and I hate every minute of it. One last fuck, it is for the guys who came before me and chose this for our companies server. Fuck you!

Dude. Seriously, fuck loopback so hard. I've never had to use "as any" so many times in my life.

what are your views or experiences around using IBM Loopback framework as the primary back end for building a mobility startup?

Loopback 4 really is pulling me out of the expressjs shithole... It really feels like I'm avoiding a lot of tedious work.

"B-b-bbut you have to use typescript and its a slower"

I've preferred typescript ever since angular 2 came out, and the 'slower' comment is invalidated by the fact that, when working on projects that are distributed between multiple devs, are marked by silent errors and serialization issues, and can change datasource types between customers, then the benefits of typescript and loopback's CLI far outweigh any potential slowdowns that may be caused. If you can find me an alternative that does this better, please let me know.

Loopback JS is seriously the biggest POS ever. How do I get an interface description of data I've already modeled? Who fucking knows. I guess I just have to keep two copies, one as an interface, and another as mother fucking class.

Loopback JS can't return html. It's a fucking server framework that chokes on helloworld.html
