Fair enough :)
I was wondering if you were trying to run Lemmy on some place you are totally not supposed to run it on. Like a nintendo64 or a samsung smart fridge lol.

Glad you were able to fix it!

Sorry, despite both being an admin and having recently migrated my pict-rs to an object storage, I don’t have a solution for your issue.

I’m just here to ask a question out of sheer curiosity: why install from scratch? To me it sounds like asking for trouble and shooting yourself in the foot. Is Docker not suitable for your setup?

There’s no real alternatives to JS “for websites” (meaning on the frontend, the part of your code that gets executed on your client’s browser). That’s what JS was invented for and what it does best.

I say “no real alternative” because technically we also have WebAssembly, which is a tool that allows you to run code written with any language on the web, but if you indeed are a beginner approaching to web development you should just forget about this for now and stick to JS as you learn.

Of course this doesn’t mean that you can’t use Python on your backend, your server.

I think there’s a positive coming from this competition, though. Apparently this infighting has re-lit the want for type annotations to be embedded in vanilla JS (ECMAScript proposal). I feel like this would be the ideal scenario: things working right out of the box without needing a compile step or additional tooling.

You can get as close as it gets to this experience by using alternative runtimes such as Deno or Bun, which have native TS support (meaning you can just execute a .ts file without having to transpile it), but of course as soon as you have to write code for a browser you are back in the middle ages.

Nah I didn’t say that it’s bad lol. Didn’t mean it that way, at least. The way I understand the “fuck, marry, kill” game is that:

• Fuck: down to play with it every once in a while
• Marry: always down to use it
• Kill: never want to use it

but if someone else wants to play with Rust who am I to stop them

There’s plenty of applications that aren’t critical enough to require precise memory management and where a GC is a worthy tradeoff for the simplicity that Go brings to the table, but sure, if you are interested in going super low level that’s what you are left to work with.

And it’s probably fine. If I had to pick between C++ and Rust I would choose the latter any day of the week but thankfully not every developer has to go that low.

I was under the impression that the Go compiler was written in C/C++, though don’t quote me on this one. My browser however is Firefox, so touché on that one.

Hot take:
Fuck TS, marry Go, kill Rust.

Smartphone: I’ve just said goodbye to my Honor phone after 5/6 years of service (can’t remember how many precisely). Incredible lifespan for its price.

However repairability could be great. I’ve changed its battery once and screen a couple times, by the end of it the frame was about to break from all the times I had opened it.
