That moment when you finished your first REST API 🎉

And you realise all it can do is useless ☹️

But then you realise, you can extend the functions easily with you new knowledge 🎊

Man, this emotional up an down is exhausting 😆

Well, sure ... This might be a way of dealing with DNS issues ... for some people.

Vodafone, 2019
This is simply ridiculous

"Welcome to The United Arab Emirates. Warning - you have activated your mobile device overseas. Significantly higher charges may apply. While you're here, it will cost up to $20.89/min + 40c connection fee to make calls, $5/min to receive calls, $3.50 to send a TXT and data is charged $51.20/MB. It's free to receive a TXT. (...)."

Not Shure if other carriers are better, but with roaming on this rant would have, probably cost like 10$ :D

Just saw this during a speech ... 😅

don't be shy my little friend.
you don't have to hide!

Okay ... Windows, I really tried to be nice, but that's it. You get off my ssd right now ...

Just got the error: "filename is too long - unable to delete file" (full name incl. path)

Seriously, WHY?
I mean, sure ... Long file paths/names are a thing and this is why there are limitations. I am totally fine with it!
But Why the hell allows windows you to create those files if it is unable to delete these files later ...
I don't get it. Maybe I am just hit my head to hard as a child and someone may enlighten me ...

PS: windows was running in a VM to give it a real serious try after years on Linux

I am here on devRant now for a while. Althought, reading amy of your stories and taking care of websites is not what I usualy tend to do, I started doing it as a favour for a friend of a friend.
Baaad bad decission :-(

"pls, dis is urgnt! uplood dis pics asap on page"
*mail notification*
*face palm 1* because who sends pictures by mail these days ... I like my 50MiB Inbox, dont spam it with garbage!
*opening mail - lists attachments: 1 file, ~900KiB* ok whats happening now?
*facepalm 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9* (10 if there still would be a face to palm on)

the person seriously send me the pictures in an attachment, within a pdf document that was created with MS Word.
No - Just NO!

I should have known better ... sooo much better :(

A small part wants to know what is behind this link ...

If I decrypt the message correctly is says in German: "update of your credit rating. All infos: {link}"

Windows .... You are amazing ... Managing to change my BitLocker Key without telling me, crashed you Update as always and asking for the new key you did not told anybody about to recover yourself ... Great ... Just great....

Seriously thinking about to switch back to Linux like it was before and hiding these crap in VM ...

This is like - drinking a glass of water after every beer, to cut the amount of consumed alcohol by half.

It is pretty much useless...

So ... Do I get a confirmation or not? What is happening?

Stuff like that really makes me think if the Webservice is trustworthy ... 🤔

Anyone here uses vim as an ide? I just read about it and was wondering if that is possible ... And if it really works well ...

I know, if I want an ide I should use an actual ide, but I thought this might be interesting, since vim is so powerful like everyone said.

"Per our conversation [Redacted] would like to do a Teams Video call with you to discuss RonR opportunity with us."

What's RonR? I'll interview for a backend software engineer position with an offshore company

well...

when does this end.
even things that can't be further away from any digital logic are getting smarter now ...

I am back to DevRant after about 2.5 years.
scrolling to some posts for a feew days now. I am wondering - is no one using arch anymore?

I am! So you know for sure now!

I am looking for a file manager to use.
I want to organize my stuff a bit better and I would like to use a file manager so browse through the folders. Important: it should be a cli file manager!

I also would like to use it to organize some photos. I thought about setting up some meta data database to find stuff more quickly later. Some cherry picks from the holidays to show people, or private documents etc.

Any ideas?
I am using ranger atm and I am somewhat happy, but the use of meta data is limited to the cwd only.

Hey folks,

Is anyone using a Dell XPS 13 (9370)? This is the 2018/2019 model.

Is anyone of you also facing the thing that is gets extreme hot, when charging? And I really mean only when charging. Not hitting it with a Max load.
Mine gets as hot as it can possibly be and it starts thermal throttling.

On battery, everything is fine and the laptop is cool as ice.
Both situations are under normal load. Nothing heavy ... CPU mostly idle - rarely over 25% utilisation / thread.

I run Linux on it. Not Shure if it is a compatibly thing, this is why I am interested if others are having this issue.

I am not sure if VMware gave its blessing to this design for UBEReats ...

or am I the only one who thinks at VMware when seeing those people?
