Ehh… I’ll do it tomorrow.

Have you compared the background and text colours? That can have a surprising effect on how the text appears.

Wonder if ChatGPT just scraped an example token from somewhere and is using that.

I like the idea of simple apps, but does their website have to have that silly dvd bouncing thing obstructing text? Especially since it starts playing sound if you interact with it wrong.

In regards to full system backups, there’s no real need to back up the OS itself. Canonical will give you a clean Ubuntu install if you ask then nice enough, after all. Personally, the risk of having to spend an afternoon reconfiguring my system isn’t that big a deal compared to the storage and time needed to back up an entire image.

I know systems generate a lot of “cruft” in terms of instslled programs and tweaked configurations over time which can be hard to keep track of and remember. But imo that should be avoided at all costs because it leads to compatibility and security issues.

For backing up databases, there’s scripts like automysqlbackup and pg_dump which will export a database to an sql file which can be easily backed up without worrying about copying a broken file.

I actually recently set up borgmatic earlier today and I’d recommend it except for the fact that you seem to be using Docker, and I’m not sure how best to backup containers.

Daily backups here. Storage is cheap. Losing data is not.

He’s trying to say “I’m attention seeking, look at me!”.

I think a peer to peer model could work for social media, but if you’re trying to sell it using a pepe meme, I’m not interested…

But fundamentally… Why not implement what you’re thinking ontop of ActivityPub or ATProto than rolling your own thing? None of the issues you’ve described facing them are particularly insurmountable. They just need a bit of devwork.

I think convention is for files served by the server to go in /srv or even /usr/lib.

None, I use Nix instead. :P

It’s important we do it that way for our 🌟brand identity🌟.

Looking at this guys other posts it could just be some bizarre attempt at absurdism?

Counterpoint: If you’re working from home it might be the only people contact you get for days.

Supposedly talking to people and touching grass is healthy.

“Did you run the formatter on this?”

Bonus points if it’s python code and nowhere in the docs does it say which of the many formatters to use.

People playing Rust code while they sleep so they can learn it through osmosis.

There’s a package called molly-guard which will check to see if you are connected via ssh when you try to shut it down. If you are, it will ask you for the hostname of the system to make sure you’re shutting down the right one.

Very usefull program to just throw onto servers.

Was before my time, but iirc C and other (then) high level languages were supposedly able to put programmers out of jobs.

Source Code Pro gang!

Whitespace isn’t semantically important. Ticket closed.

Okay, this nerd sniped me super hard. Sure you can spend it on a big massive project like a mansion or whatever, but you aren’t going to be able to have it finished (and thus paid for) in a month.

Not too mention if you do want to drop that much money at one, there’ll be many checks in place. Your bank will block your account for “suspicious activity”. The person who you are paying will probably want to run a background check or just refuse to take payment up front.

You’d have to justify where you got that money from as well, most likely, and saying a “genie” probably would get you some strange looks and perhaps arrested.

I legit don’t know how you’d actually get rid of that much money in a month.
