Definitely describes my switch back in 2008 when canonical still sent out Ubuntu CDs for free in the mail. We had dial up so it was faster for them to mail me a CD than to try and download the image myself.

Doing those kinds of things at home because they were fun actually led to me realizing I'm genderfluid recently. It's been crazy facing a part of my experience of life that the patriarchal society we live in essentially deprived me of up to this point: knowing how euphoric it feels to let myself want to be pretty and feminine sometimes.

I accidentally a word in the original comment, it was supposed to say they don't use *centralized databases. Instead it said I'm a moron lmao.

Whoops, I flubbed that message hard and didn't catch it at the time: Meant to say "don't use centralized databases." They definitely use databases lmao. No idea how I screwed that message up so hard. I blame ADHD for not proofreading.

Just so we're on the same page, let me be more specific. I'm saying the individuals in the article were making terrible decisions. Lots of them.

I am also saying that UUIDs are good primary keys for very specific purposes: Large, distributed systems that handle large amounts of small data, powered by databases like Cassandra that are designed to handle millions of record insertions per hour across several hundred nodes, to the point where inserts are very likely to happen at the exact same time on two different replicas of the same schema.

Hope that makes more sense than my previous flub. lol

Hope your pinkies are ok

The solution for me is that I run Nextcloud on a Kubernetes cluster and pin a container version. Then every few months I update that version in my deployment yaml to the latest one I want to run, and run kubectl apply -f nextcloud.yml and it just does its thing. Never given me any real trouble.

TIL a new word. Thanks, stranger! 🙂

Basically it's a year in review of your Spotify listening

The point is less about body shaming and more about shaming the person's "small dick energy". Eg the kind of behavior you'd expect from someone who thinks dick size matters a ton and would buy nice things to try and compensate for their lack of size.

Web development is, and will always be, just a game of finding increasingly ~~cursed~~ unique ways to concatenate HTML strings

Neither, I've written plenty of Python and I know how useful it can be. However, as someone who is neurospicy, I find languages that have semantically l significant white space to be frustrating to read.

Sure, there are tools to help with it. Sure, they help. But they don't replace how much more useful curly braces are at defining scope.

There's not currently a way to copy your subscriptions across from one instance to another, so if you want to instance hop, you have to go resubscribe to all your communities manually.

Also if you have redundant accounts for when an instance is having trouble (I had errors reaching programming.dev just last night), it seems like you can run this periodically and keep them in sync with each other
