This is a good practice tho. The HTTP code describes the status of the HTTP operation. Did the server handle it? No? Was the url not found? Did it time out? Was the payload too large? And the JSON describes the result of the backend operation. So 200 OK with error: true means that your HTTP request was all good, but the actual operation bugged out for whatever reason. If you try to indicate errors in the backend with a HTTP error code, you quickly get confused about which codes can happen for what reason.

When I said that Microsoft has a lot to learn from Linux, Ubuntu Server is not what I had in mind 😂

TIL about the legislation, thanks!

thanks for the writeup, makes sense!

Login credentials don’t even need to be encrypted if you say no fraud before you log in, and cross your fingers

Don’t forget to unset the evil bit as well!

btw do you know why it was decided to treat the r-word as an ableist slur? And why didn’t they also make “idiot” a slur, since it has basically the same etymology? Is this a lemmy-specific thing? I’ve never seen anyone use or interpret the r-word as a slur outside of lemmy

At least in my country, google is going balls-to-the-walls mode with the chrome psyop. Like every third ad on youtube is an ad for chrome. And if you’re a little older, you’ll remember their countless other ad campaigns that propelled chrome into the mainstream. The only reason so many people use chrome is because they’re brainwashed into it.

Looks like it works! Congrats!

With enough plugins vim can have almost all of the features of an ide. Not that I recommend using it like that tho.

Or, get this, a PWA.

Not sure if any of that is helpful for your case but I recommend trying something if you’ve got spare hardware, and see how it goes on dummy data, then blow it away try something else.

This is good advice, thanks! Pretty much what I’m doing right now. Already tried it with IPFS, and found that it didn’t meet my needs. Currently setting up a tahoe-lafs grid to see how it works. Will try out ceph after this.

How is ceph working out for you btw? I’m looking into distributed storage solutions rn. My usecase is to have a single unified filesystem/index, but to store the contents of the files on different machines, possibly with redundancy. In particular, I want to be able to upload some files to the cluster and be able to see them (the directory structure and filenames) even when the underlying machine storing their content goes offline. Is that a valid usecase for ceph?

Yep. Intel atom D525

Yeah, and it did become the next big thing. So much so that we’re still trying to figure out how to escape the overreaching grasp of big data algorithms that control social media networks.

A lot of “hardware raid” is just a separate controller doing software raid. I thought I lost access to a bunch of data when my raid controller died, before I realized that I could just plug the disks directly into the computer and mount them with mdadm. But yes, hardware raid seems a bit pointless nowadays.

YAML is good for files that have a very flexible structure or need to define a series of steps. Like github workflows or docker-compose files. For traditional config files with a more or less fixed structure, TOML is better I think

yes.

Please don’t. If you need something like json but with comments, then use YAML or TOML. Those formats are designed to be human-readable by default, json is better suited for interchanging information between different pieces of software. And if you really need comments inside JSON, then find a parser that supports // or /* */ syntax.

Never knew that ddg had an LLM, will check it out. Thanks!
