I’d give Syncthing a try. Though you should make some kind of tunnel so that they can communicate without relays, the speed there really depends on what traffic the relay is going through.

I know! That’s the Greek mythology thing.

That must one awkward conversation… “Can you explain where did you get the uuid from?”

The trouble with smaller open source software is that there’s no 0.1% checking it. And from time to time a small projects becomes widely used and everyone assumes someone already checked it; it’s a widely used open source software, after all.

Main, obviously.

Yep, that person would be me and that’s exactly what I was doing, just found it funny that there was so many uuids in the piece of code.

Originally the function was named FromUuid but I couldn’t resist renaming it to make it even better.

The first UUID is a local type, the second is the name of an embedded struct, the third is the name of the variable.

The struct looks something like this (writing this on my phone)

type UUID struct { uuid.UUID }

So, basically, this is a custom wrapper for a third party UUID implementation.

I created an AI wallpaper generator which has an expression system that is Turing complete. I don’t have the expertise or patience to do it, but just the fact that in theory Doom can run on it makes me feel good.

I added an expression support to my Automod for Lemmy which can have subexpressions as parameters etc., pretty cool to work with.

Except every subexpression needs 2^n-1 slashes where n is the depth level. Fun times writing the expressions.

I say that often. Especially after I forget to back something up and lose it.

Like accidentally committing multi-GB files and years down some poor mf (me in this case) has to figure out how to clear the files from history because the server is running out of space.

Are you spying on me? Had to change my password this week. And we’re in a release freeze.

Please don’t ever suggest gedit or Kate is in the same ballpark as an IDE.

1. Write an open source malware
2. Freely publish it everywhere because everyone assumes someone checked it, because it’s open source, you know?
3. ???
4. Profit

If you want to self host, rent some cheap server somewhere (I use Hetzner) the will act as a proxy and then configure frp.

It’s basically what Cloudflare tunnel does, except you need to provide the public server instead of Cloudflare giving you one for “free.”

Simply download the official Windows ISO, open VirtualBox, mount the ISO, install Windows inside VM.

If you have a product key, put it there, otherwise simply run it unlicensed.

Afterwards install the VirtualBox host additions inside the VM.

Note that VirtualBox isn’t open source, so if that’s a concern for you, you’d need to use a different software. IIRC virt-manager is kinda easy to use, though not as user friendly as VirtualBox.

Wubi was awesome!

Anyway, what’s hard about seeing up dual booting? Doesn’t the installer simply do it for you?

LGTM, approved.

Just use Mongo, it scales so well!

Never understood why anyone chose Mongo. Though I have some funny memories getting rid of it because it was slowing the app down sooo much.

If you need something for storing JSONs and querying, just use ElasticSearch/OpenSearch.

You should see my former bosses, when everyone else was slowly realising AI isn’t a magic tool to solve everything they tripled down and implemented AI into every possible single process in the company.

The AI bullshit is like 40% the reason I left, the other 60% being micromanagement.
