…but intended for web, but you can also misuse it for apps and system services

if anything goes wrong, you can blame the replacement AI now. so there is still something to hold accountable.

time to learn assembly *cracks knuckles*

I refuse to believe that’s CSS. What is that colon at the end even?

It lacks a lot of malloc() 🤣

When some of our customers websites had this, it were actually internal problems with the webserver service (nginx) connecting to PHP processes via UNIX sockets. One time it was a permission problem and another time the server was targeted by aggressive crawling and several internal limits prevented enough processes to be available to connect to. So the “gateway” is probably the socket or its connection.

It showed a blue screen when you ejected a CD with the button on the CD drive, while it was reading from the CD. (At the same time, Linux would just disable the button until the CD was not in use aka unmounted)

well yes, but i hit it by accident and it didn’t ask and there wasn’t even a notification. the printer was in another room, so i couldn’t even hear it. (it was at work)

on debian based system PrntScr actually prints stuff you’re looking at in a terminal, if a printer is configured. learned that the hard way, accidentally printing hundreds of pages of html source

Googling and binging programming stuff really shows how much the instant answers, AI stuff and other “optimizatioms” have degraded search results. Every time I have to skip all that bullshit on the top to the actual results. Often, I even have to switch on verbatim mode. And even then it says “There don’t appear to be a lot of good results…” or whatever, but the good result is right there, after I had to dance around all their hoops.

The search giants just don’t understand that often there is just one good source for an information and it doesn’t get repeated all the time, because it perfectly explains it, is brand new or just not something the kids on youtube or reddit would enjoy. They think people want to find things the web is plastered with. So weird.

Never build prod on friday. Just say CIS is down and you need to fix that first.

Optimised for speed.

Yes, you could, for example, use it to manage who is allowed to park in a garage, anonymously. The owner of a parking spot NFT can unlock the door from the outside. Stuff like that.

However, it’s also possible to do that with a small web application. Just payments and transfer of the parking spots are less free and it’s not decentralized.

It’s just a fad. There’s just a small bit that will stay after the hype is gone. You know, like blockchain, AR, metaverse, NFT and whatever it was before that. In a few years there will be another breakthrough with it and we’ll hear from it again for a short while, but for now it’s just a one trick pony.
