As a creator can also be a supporter and each can have multiple projects they create/support the right model would be a user that authenticates with unlimited projects that you either support our create.
So in terms of tables:
users
projects
project_users - with a role attribute
That way your normal user is always authenticated and can have many projects to create our support -
Pro tip: ignore messages that contain no actionable content. Saves me about 20 years of my life

As long as there are enough people paying for "micro" transactions there is no need for anything to change...
No seriously. The only reason why the freemium model became so prevalent is that people think they are getting the better deal. I can't count the times people made fun of me for paying a monthly subscription while they would spend 20 times as much each month on their "free" game because they "wanted to support" the developer. -
@Oktokolo it's the internet. If you think it's bullshit I won't argue with you 🤷♂️ you might be right. Never "learned" programming in University or anything like that. I might just be an overpayed imposter anyway

Just read everything I wrote and...
How the fuck did I end up seemingly defending this company?!?🙈 I'm not at all in favor of this.
If your child has to have a phone (online school because covid) the parental control from Google/apple is enough (time/app control). Don't let your kids get all the internet until they are old enough to understand the dangers. -
@rutee07 true and that IS a problem.
If anyone got the impression I would install this on my child's phone let me make this clear: I wouldn't.
Once my child is old enough (14-16? Idk whenever I feel it's mature enough) I will remove the app install restrictions after a long talk about online safety.
Keep your children safe through information once they are mature enough to understand what you tell them. -
@Root how would you know someone asked your child for such images? You didn't read the messages and your child thinks it's in love with that someone they meet online. Sorry but that's one of the scenarios that happens most often online.
My child doesn't have tik tok. It was the first example of "innocent" app that every child wants that came to mind. Insert any other social media app and the example holds. I talked about why I don't allow tik tok and my child understood.
Also being 10 we talked about what is ok to share online. I was very proud when the teachers wanted the children to upload a picture each (as test for the homework upload) and my child took a photo of our cat and asked if that was ok to share.
I stand by my point that "trust but verify" doesn't give children trust issues but empowers them to better decisions in the future. I don't verify everything but I check once in a while. -
@Root "their isn't much danger" sorry have you been on tik tok lately and read the comments or do you have a child that gets private messages asking for explicit images? I'm sure Amanda Todd's parents would disagree with you. Every single day thousands of children get tricked online.
Don't trust me, check with the people fighting for kids online every day https://sheepdogbloodhound.org/
Yes reading every single message is harmful.
No I won't let my child alone in any dangerous environment until they are old enough to understand opsec and what data should never be shared online.
No I'm not reading any message without my child knowing. The one time I talk to my child about a message was when she got one from a number that wasn't in her contacts. We opened it together. It was spam.
Yes I control what apps are installed and talk with them before they are allowed any new ones they want.
Trust but verify is one thing I try to teach my children.
It has nothing to do with trust issues. -
@Root @reactiveBasil @Ranchonyx
Kids have to get a phone and laptop for online school. Saying I should not let them on the net until they are mature enough just doesn't work in this day and age.
I have the ability to control everything on their phone but almost never exercise that power because I want them to be free. Controlling what apps your kid has access to it not hampering their freedom, it's creating a safe space to learn.
Further going into this is not likely to change your minds and I don't care to do that anyway. I have seen innocent kids get talked into doing "innocent" stuff online and then getting blackmailed into more and more stuff. Children have a fear of getting punished by their parents and most don't think about what harm their actions online could mean. They share addresses, social accounts and phone numbers freely.
Parenting is always a fine line between trust and control. Controlling nothing can be as harmful as controlling all. -
Sorry but it's obvious non of you are parents. A child that is unsupervised online is in constant danger from all sorts of predators. Yes it's a big intrusion and has to be carefully weighted but as a parent you have a responsibility to protect your child. If that is controlling which apps can be installed and used or checking with whom your child communicates has to be your decision. Before phones you would have controlled where your child is from time to time and relied on people around you to tell you if something bad is happening but you can't do that for online activities.
I'm very privacy focused myself but my passion of keeping children safe online has taught me that to many parents ignore what their children do on their phones alone. The amount of predators on social media is mind crushing and giving your child an unprotected phone is like getting them to go play in the worst part of town at night all alone. -
@Root any alternative that doesn't? I used telegram for a long time. Signal is currently in use but I'm always open for a better alternative

File extensions are just smoke and mirrors. The file encoding is done in the file header (s). Open the files with notepad++ or any hex editor to try to guess the real encoding. If it's arc just unpack
-
@Gregozor2121 Code is in English. Sorry if you got any other indication from my rant. It was all readable just ugly as fuck and more like what my intern produced on his first day instead of what I would expect from any professional that wants to get paid
-
@Lor-inc good advice. I kind of like the demons anyway. That one guy with the pitchfork is pretty cool about a lot of things. Problem is, on some days I'm almost inclined to just give in a little. You know not the whole bunch but a few here and there won't be misst, right?
*Disclaimer* to anyone not getting it, this is obviously a joke. -
@vorticalbox sure, I'll just tell the client to shut up and that his designer is stupid. Shut already did that but they won't pay unless the font is in :(
-
@Fast-Nop thanks but the use-case for this was text in the content of the website in that font with text in normal don't every other line. Luckily I found a close enough font on Google Fonts and nobody ever noticed. If it would only have been one image I would have converted that into svg for sure
-
@alexbrooklyn no clue, never went and bought the licence for web. I just wanted to bring an old website to the mobile first era and had to replace a couple of image text blocks.
Byw it's ok to use the font in the image you created with the print license and publish that on your website smh... -
@netikras could you point me to the right version of the book of the damned? I keep getting the one that wants me to kill all of humanity.
Asking for a friend, obviously -
To be honest, copy & paste is 99% of the job. The trick is knowing what to copy from where and how to connect everything
@joycestick Jack? -
I need this. Who or what do I need to kill to get them?😻

@Codex404 some languages allow developers to include variables into double quoted strings. This has many downsides and can lead to many security issues. Readability suffers and things can get really messy.
With those languages it's better to stick to single quoted strings to force the dev to think about what they are doing and if the variable they put into the string are really safe to use there.
It's about how the code is structured in those languages and about better division of the concerns just like MVC patterns, having the string not containing some arbitrary untyped variable is a good idea.
If all languages would treat double quoted strings as string not to be interpreted at all but just used as strings there would be no case against it for me. In languages where string are really just strings I use the standard, whichever that language prefers. -
@Codex404 I started that way but bad code with embedded variables (breaking all over the place, no escapes) has brought me to this dark place where I prefer the single quotes because at least the people get forced to think about where their strings end and variables begin.
-
Double quotes for strings, that's how all my nightmares start
-
@gvnix maybe remove the text telling people to star your project for updates? At least of your really don't want the stars
-
@sbiewald just think about the minutes and hours you already spend updating your software when it all could have been automated. Invest 2-5 h for setup and save that time. You will have more time for life in the long run 👍
-
@sbiewald why would you upload a zip of your software? You have SSH Access so just use git and be happy that you can even commit and push while traveling with Deutsche Bahn 🤣
But seriously uploading the delta of your changes over git reduces the data needed to upload a ton. If you need to compile things use a build pipeline that auto-deploys from your master branch.
A setup like that could upload the resulting binary to all your clients from the build server and your mobile plan wouldn't take a hit.
It might seem like overkill but I would recommend git and a build pipeline if needed for every project that earns money or should be maintained longer than a week -
I'm german. I totally get the pain of german people trying to speak english. Most of the time I just want to beat them up but sometimes I want to kill myself just to make it stop

Give keepass a try. It has plugins for all major browsers and you will have all passwords auto fill if the sites login form isn't too fucked up. Even supports loading ssh keys into ssh agent. Can't recommend it enough
