@awesomeest

I started humming *dumb ways too die* reading your comment...

Do not vape.

Its pretty much as toxic - if not even worse - than smoking.

Depends I think what you like?

Gym / Hiking / Crossfit / climbing / ... if you're a body type,
gardening / painting / drawing / writing ... if you're more "artistic",
food kitchen / helping out in an elders home for example ... if you're more social,
maybe join a chess club / pen & paper / cardboard game group.

Lots of different things.

@vintprox oh yeah.

Especially without any respect.

Theres only drama if u make it a drama.

Ungrateful arseholes (and I mean the complaints on mastodon)

I had a pepper bell / mushroom casserole with an ajvar / low fat creme fraiche casserole, some mozarelle atop. Spielt bread for the sauce and a kiwi for dessert. (For dinner, not breakfast ;))

@asgs better try berries for fibers instead of more sugar ;)

You won't.

SystemD was designed for that case, OpenRC not.

@netikras lol.

I usually call that our terabyte clusters (20 plus primary data).

Another very nice term that makes people spit their coffee out is when I call certain areas, especially the development servers, whore of babylon....

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

But trust me, it truly is an evil place where evil gathers ;)

"Look mama, I built an Frankenstein Hippo."

Sorry, could not resist.

Good job. :)

Depression is nasty.

Especially in your case...

For me diet changed a lot.

Like. A LOT.

I'm currently on an anti inflammatory diet and loosing weight, but a side effect of it was interestingly keeping my depression "in check". Depression doesn't take me out anymore like getting a castiron pan in the face. Its still sometimes hard, but... Its "easier". Less invasive.

A build system should define its dependencies with a lock file.

But thats only one part of the deal.

Cross OS building is absolutely no fun.

One of the reasons I always recommend remote build servers if possible or OCI.

And even with OCI there is a small chance for cross OS problems.

Cross OS is like jumping in a poison jar. Whatever stings you will be pretty deadly.

@awesomeest i was just skimming the comments...

My brain was stuck on intimate... instructions... Lawnmower...

Hence my association 'trim the bushes'.

Had nothing to do with your comments, sorry.

PS: a lot of people need these instructions.... Common sense isn't defined or measurable, see e.g. tiktok challenges and people dying (yeah. Like End of Life, Terminal, Death) for the stupidest things (cinnamon challenge and whatever)

@awesomeest trim the bushes...?

Condoms.

Use them. For fucks sake.

*humss can't stop me now*....

:-) looking good.

@Root THX.

GNOME has really become the"You're morons, so we carefully did our best to take everything away" kind of DE.

@kiki

So a case for r/spicypillows .

Always sad.

Depends largely on where you live.

Might sound strange, but a *lot* of problems with wireless connections stem from.... *drumroll*

Building materials.

E.g. in Germany houses built around world war ii might have tinfoil and other interesting materials in the walls.

Had a few interesting head scratch moments setting up WLAN for clients, cause no - doesn't matter what frequency, these rooms are frequency isolated.

If there is no real wall, so sth like rigips / plasterboard, you have the opposite problem. Too much interference.

(Looking at America, where most houses can be cut with a saw... still makes me scratch my head. Or the "non openable windows" - that freaked me out, too.

Pip is part of the problem.

There is a lack of concensus and focus on a single utility which should be included / shipped with python.

I hate PIP. Poetry is my favorite, as virtualenvs are far better. Though most package managers implicitly need to utilize PIP or at least support it.

Thats the messy part. Too many cooks in the kitchen.

Another pretty heated discussion has always been around pyproject.toml .

As there is no stdlib for TOML till 3.11

https://peps.python.org/pep-0680/

I honestly love pyproject.toml . Consolidation is always a good idea.

What exactly do you span and slay....

Asking for a friend.

@ScriptCoded

Well instead of Wired, a few Tesla coils and no worries about access to electricity

Imho Pythons indentation was a wise decision.

Error reporting has become better.

If a language comes with a fixed code style, it would be truly a blessing.

Rust kind of does it.

The amount of time, nerves and stress put into getting devs to agree to a common code style is ... Maddening.

Even worse when they want a custom style that needs to be handrolled into linting / formatting. *vomits*

I'm truly curious to see where Python is going.

Polars aka Pandas on Rust steroids, the GIL removal, the JIT talks.... It feels like Python will make some interesting evolutions the next years.

The only worrisome part, where the Python devs cannot agree on, mostly due to lack of manpower, is the packaging.

But thats a very complex topic, so I can kinda understand the frustration and hard to reach consensus on that topic.

Scala is dead.

Should be put in a coffin.

https://degoes.net/articles/...

Imho the biggest weakness of scala is the completely messed up toolchain.

SBT is just a broken mess.

Though they finally decided to LTS with 3.3… the whole ecosystem just is a fragmented and outdated mess.

@Fast-Nop yes.

But again - we're talking about universe *only*.

I don't like it either, but imho its a valid choice as it is *not* the main distribution nor the main oackages.

And the Debian - Ubuntu relationship wasn't peachy in the beginning (as in first Ubuntu versions)… but afaik for the last decade it was a good one.

I don't like the direction Ubuntu is going either, but I just felt that the discussion in this rant was far too ignorant of details.

"They're doing well" ... Yes and no. They're not lacking finances, right.

They're lacking staff. The finances they have are mostly for operational stuff, hardware, red tape, meetings, ...

https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Funding

Debian has for example the LTS funding program.

https://lwn.net/Articles/790954/

So yeah, while they have money they're conservative regarding its use.

I think that the article is written way too click baity.

In very short:

Packages from universe, which were always not part of a default Installation and handled by community, will be only provided with security updates by Ubuntu Pro subscription.

That is the gist.

While technically right and followed by a bit of explanation of how packaging is a nightmare job, they fail to give numbers.

Google gave me a quick result (unverified):

https://gist.github.com/ThinGuy/...

Roughly 28_000 source packages with 63 GiB of sources.

Get a grip on reality. Thats not just a fuckton of work, but also resources, traffic etc.

Other distributions are suffering tremendously, too. At least Debian gets a bit of help by Ubuntu pro.

I don't like it either. But the "want it all free with no support mentality" has become OpenSources downfall.

Things like BPL made that more than obvious. I fucking hate Ubuntu - but OpenSource needs money.

@fullstackcircus

Chat messages are an entirely different fuckity than financial transactions.

And discord had quite a few growing pains, too.

https://discord.com/blog/...

Now think of that migration in finance.

Where red tape, audits, long term storage etc. are a must.

I really don't want to think about how it works at PayPal, because I think it will be a bureaucratic nightmare.

Its easy to say "haha they could do better". Its more realistic and better to ask "why don't they".

In Germany bureaucracy, you don't mess with the Finanzamt (Federal central tax office)... If you do, they will audit the fuck out off you.

@jestdotty

So they create an unmaintanable mess?

DevRant never ceases to amaze me.

@BlueNutterfly

One of the reasons I cannot stress enough that industrial animal agriculture is just plain wrong.

Yes. Meat will be fcking expensive, but exactly coz of things like BSE I'd rather pay a fortune than eat sth that god knows what surprise is in it hidden.

"The primary source of infection for classical BSE is feed contaminated with the infectious prion agent, such as meat-and-bone meal containing protein derived from rendered infected cattle."

https://aphis.usda.gov/aphis/...

As in: We fed them shit. The extra cheap shit.

@Auhrii

http://nginx.org/r/...

http://nginx.org/en/docs/...

You're thinking wrong, though it depends largely on how NGINX is configured.

What usually happens with PHP FPM CGI is the following:

Website - NGINX - resolve to location
...
parse fastcgi parameters
call CGI binary with fastcgi parameters

There is no HTTP code involved per se.

What you did with your modification is to include the $status variable in the fastcgi parameters, which should be the last http status code.

000 as there is no status code when there is no error - the binary just gets called, there is no http request happening.

https://gist.github.com/kerns/...

Here is one gist I found which is an example of how to create an error page with query parameters to pass the status code.

Less hacky.

Alternative would be an error page with a proxy pass and setting a header.

@Auhrii

https://php.net/manual/en/...

What you're doing is simply put a violation and abusal of an old / ancient variable.

If I understand you correctly, you have

NGINX in front of PHP
Client calls Website
Client is a special kind of retard
NGINX redirects to an error page
NGINX calls the PHP script

Now you want to know what "Client is a special kind of retard" call created as a status code?

As in "redirect to the error page AND add via header the previous status code" as an example to solve it?
