I was like, why specify “one or more” and then make it optional? Isn’t that just .*?

Yes! Well said.

DRY is usually helpful if you don’t use it in situations where you have like 2 semi-different things. If they’re actually the same and you have 3 or more then the level of abstraction is worth it almost always.

Ah, didn’t know +? was lazy, thanks

The capture group must be the same each time it repeats, so the number of characters stays the same. So X groups of Y characters = string of length X*Y. X and Y can be anything so any string length that can be made by multiplying two numbers-- which is every non-prime string length-- is matched. 0 and 1 are handled specially at the start.

Is there a reason to use (..+?) instead of (.+) ?

It makes them feel good and devalues the quality of discussion. Benefits them, harms others.

God I hate people who use github comments for their own benefit. “Just fork it bro” is never helpful.

This is why there are none, but I still think it’s dumb. Parsers can’t see comments anyways.

Why would you recommend people make the effort to switch to Podman if you can’t name any benefits of doing so?

STBSQL?

But if we hide the complexity, surely we won’t ever have to deal with it! /s

Funnily enough I do use NixOS for my server! It’s not quite what I was describing but it does allow me to host easily.

Someday I hope we have a server technology that’s platform-agnostic and you can just add things like “Minecraft Server” or “Email Server” to a list and it’ll install, configure, and host everything in the list with a sensible default config. I imagine you could make the technology fairly easily, although keeping up with new services, versions, security updates, etc. would be quite the hassle. But that’s what collaboration is for!

Heads up, that spoiler syntax doesn’t work on normal lemmy

There’s no place like localhost

Yeah, I have Featherserver for my server, Featherbeast for my laptop (named because it has decent specs), and Featherphone for my phone.
