Also, Windows is catching up on the breaking of things, while Linux has improved dramatically. At least some distros are incredibly stable.

I’d love that, too. Immich has more fine grained user control on their timeline, though.

What if you’re wearing several layers of each in mixed order?

You guys still have a liberry?

Acquaintance of mine just dgaf. He’ll get banned on a game for cheating and just spend another 60.- to get another copy. DLCs, micro transactions, pay to win, doesn’t matter. He’s a cancer on the whole industry.

Well, it turns out they both tell me I’m a little too fat.

That’s every publisher’s wet dream. AI’s almost ready, right?

god I wanna see them fail so badly.

So, while stereotypical, the surfer sign meaning isn’t far off!

Radical 🤙

It’s the reason I don’t use share buttons. The YouTube link is clean (afaik, idk if they encode data into the ID) when copying the URL. Same with other services.

They’d have to do actual research instead of conjecture.

This has to be satire. Greed is not compatible with moderation.

Infrastructure maintenance is management, security and day to day business, while software engineering is mostly concerned with itself. They use distinct tools and generally have nothing to do with each other (except maybe integration).

We need new terms, IT means “works with computers, but more than Word and Excel” for too many people. In Switzerland they split the apprenticeship names to ‘platform engineer’ and ‘application engineer’, which I think is fitting.

All of that is fine, and they mentioned the management perspective, which I get. It was a field test and our original choice of 4001 - which is what other serial to TCP servers like us use, also in their network - was unavailable.

What irks me is the “technical impossibility” of raw TCP and “I must be wrong” when filling out their firewall change form.

They’ve since given us a different port “close to others that we use”, for whatever reason that matters, and based their choice on some list of common protocols outside the reserved range. But not 4001.

That by itself is just one thing and I wouldn’t give it a second thought, but it’s all part of a larger picture of ineptitude. They opened a ticket because an arrow at the border of our UI vanished when they screen shared on Teams. Because of the red border. And they blamed our application for it.

They didn’t set up their PKI correctly and opening our webpage on specific hosts gave the typical “go back” warning. But it was our fault somehow, even though the certificate was the one they supplied us and it was valid.

When trying to request a firewall change IT told me “ports between 1 and 1024 are reserved and can’t be used for anything else” so I couldn’t be using it for a pure TCP connection, and besides, there would have to be a protocol on top of TCP, just TCP as protocol is obviously wrong. I was using port 20 because it was already open…

A friend of a friend found that exporting to csv and importing is the fastest route. Honestly crazy, but I recreated a test and it’s actually a little faster (when dumping and recreating the whole table, ymmv when inserting).

I’m not 100% sure if it was MSSQL, though.

No, it’s boating related. Four days in a sail.

I don’t use chat, it’s usually useless. Autocomplete is good enough that I can worry about concepts and Copilot will tab me the SQL blocks, loops and functions; I feel like it’s a better flow and I’m faster over all.

For stuff like Angular it knows 95% of what you’re trying to do since the possibilities are limited.

That was, in fact, the joke. :)

hollowed be thy name…
