This is literally AI slop. Made in less than 30 lines prompt in total. I'm so suprised! :P But impressive, the AI models are getting so good.

I described zero graphics, this is total LLM fantasy and total slop!

I know you guys all shake in excitation knowing my album is coming. Well, rest assured, it's coming.

WOW, i'm the first!

Happy Christmas! May the source be with you 2026.

Jay Jesus!

How are we doing devRats?

Today I'm fishing in the client's server.

They have a vulnerable app, I've restarted it and monitoring closely to see which payload exploits the known RCE. While I'm waiting for THE fish, load of other tiny ones keep trying their luck and swimming away after a single shot at it.

It's actually quite fun to just sit and stare at the terminal, waiting for that single fish to bite. IDK why :D

I got bored and decided to figure out webapps. Hosting something I find useful. Feel free to poke at it and tell me why it sucks and what breaks

I TRY TO ORDER A VAPE STICK YOU FUCKING PSYCHOS.

So, if you buy something there: they have your credit card details, your picture, your passport. What's next? My pp size?

Do they want to make a loan in my name or something? FUCKING HELL.

This does not have to do with the shit EU is pulling of lately I hope? Because if that's the case, I will basically not shop much online anymore.

Guess who deleted her account again?

We are a 100% not living in a simulation, some are way too random/weird to be a calculation xD

There is one thing that will have the hair on the back of my neck stand up. A sentence, that I hear in my worst nightmares, just before I wake bathed in sweat. Fifty-fifty, I shit myself if I hear that sentence. And that's when I am awake...

The sentence is: "Oh, don't worry, we just have like two of them."

Implying, we have a dataset and two of them behave differently. How different, I ask. Oh, one line explanation, then the dreaded sentence. Meaning, we don't want to go too deep into the exceptions, because that special rule is nonsensical, not written down, cannot really be justified to auditors if they happen, and I bill them for the time, they want to move on to other things.

I painstakingly explain that I need to know all the special cases. Because they will either crash the system or, worse, the results will be unreliable. They grudgingly explain it. 5 minutes later, they next table, and again, the same data also causes an exception here. I hear it again. "It's only one or two items from all our thousands of customers..." And I get the feeling that these 1 or 2 items get complete special treatment throughout the whole system. And no one knows the complete extend or protocol of it. And it repeats...

Another time, and then another... and then it stops... And the dread rises. The customer realized I make a problem out of the special treatment of this one thing. He stops pointing out the special treatment. Suddenly, process over process without exceptions... Before, we always did something different everywhere...

And finally I awake, bathed in sweat and realize, I am still in the conference room. I passed out... Alright, too dramatic... I quietly resigned to have the complain afterwards and destroy the clean architecture by dribbled in corrections and exceptions.

Today I learned that programming isn’t about writing code.

It’s about questioning your entire existence because your code worked yesterday and doesn’t work today… and you changed NOTHING.

You stare at the screen.
You re-run it.
You Google the same error for the 100th time.

Then suddenly it works.

You don’t know why.
You don’t touch anything.
You’re scared to breathe.

Being a developer is basically living in fear of your own code.

Apprently @Lensflare is very attractive and looks like swoden, the ultimate chad. Fucking germans genes, so unfair.

Corporate Windows group police disables customer wallpaper. You get the gray corporate logo so you know you're in hell, and that's it.

But if you replace the corporate "TranscodedWallpaper" file in your profile and call `SystemParametersInfo()` it will update your wallpaper. I made a Powershell script to update my wallpaper.

It stopped working though. Add-Type which gave me access to the win32 function I needed in user32.dll now trigger a FalconSensor virus protection.

...and the wallpaper has been stuck on a photo of an ex-girlfriend who I loathe that I took years ago in Croatia. Why did I even keep this in my wallpaper rotation folder?! Oh god ... I'm in fucking hell.

I found what I'm gonna eat in Aid el Kabir : Wordpress and Elementor.

I'm gonna edhba7 the shit out of them.
Nuke em.

I'm working on a website someone made, for ~2k euros, thats just a yt tutorial.
And it sucks. Elementor.
Wordpress.
The good news is it works out of the box (yes!) for dummies, like the _commercial_ that inputs new books, promotion codes, etc...

btw check this awesome page https://3dgoose.neocities.org/EEEEE...

One of my minions gave his 2 weeks notice. They grow up so fast 🥲

English people are danes and england actually belongs to the bretons people of western france.

But one day we will do like israel, go back there and steal houses.

Should I order a McDonald’s happy meal at 1 am?

Update on youRant (the android app):
As I said multiple times in the past: I. HATE. Android so much xD
I spent yesterday 5 hours to write 25 lines of code(of securely storing encrypted session tokens for the login) because nothing in this platform is straightforward, and everything is done in the most roundabout and unexpected way ever.
And today an unexpected event happened so I couldn't work on it, so with regret, I have to say I have nothing new to show, as of now you can only see the main rant feed, and click on the rant to see the rant+comments page (No option for sign in or posting rants/comments or upvote/downvote yet), if that's usefull to anyone, mention me and I'll drop an apk tomorrow/day after tomorrow.

On the good news, since current devRant's API exposes no more than like ~40 recent rants (I swear you used to be able to scroll "infinitely" back in the past, so this must be a new bug or some shit) that means the rant feed in my app is suddenly effectively done(for the MVP, after the MVP there will be a more efficient feed scroller) since it means it can load in a single request all the rants that the API will give you anyways, and there's no need to implement scrolling or shit like that. So allowing to post and vote is "basically all" that needs to be added for the MVP to be done and published.
("Basically all" in quotes becaue I know well enough to not trust Android and expect another 5 roadblocks in the things that should be extremely easy to implement in any other UI toolkit/platform, I am fully expecting to spend a 7 hour session trying to figure some shit that is as simple as, for example, trying to set text to be bold or some shit)

Today i bought a waffle machine. I made waffles. They were not bad but I can do better. Now is the time for the endless quest for the perfect dought, as every belgian person can tell you, waffles are very important.

Found this japanese guy making fresh suchis in a very small stoll. They're delicious. Who knew japanese people would make the best suchis

End of sprint today! Yippee!

Started off on a ringbuffer-based ABI stable asyncread / asyncwrite pair because the only existing solution seems abandoned with open issues and not much activity.

Over the weekend I'll extract it into a crate and write a heap of tests. Async code is a bitch to test, but it's probably the least worst in Rust where the testing scaffold can manually step all of the async codepaths.

How are we doing today? deadRanters?

Holy hell, aoc day 9 part 2 is diabolical!
Has anyone solved it and can give me a hint (not the solution)?

The naive approach would be to make an array with 100000^2 elements, or an image with that many pixels, but that's just too large.
There must be a smarter way.

Ugh the AOC is a bit of a wanker for putting an answer timer (sometimes I accidentally submit the example answer, and it takes 0.1s to fix but nooo you have to wait because the guy is retarded)

BTW I had to implement the parsing completely custom because of dynamically sized blocks, what did you guys do?

Eurovision is the worst cringefest and its made by people who do nothing but cocain and underage girls

Finally learning docker. I feel like it's too good to be true.
