@Lensflare oh i also know all about toorii's repos... i told you... weve been chatting quite a lot lately... tbh i think toorii and i could be a very dangerous combo... but we can probably stave that off with tons of drinking and grinding shit out... probably should have some mild, unintrusive, oversight tbh...

but hey, nothing's gone boom... at least not yet lol

We all know far too well... this ship keeps sinking...

imo let's not keep rebuilding the titanic AND the iceberg while leaving the ownership and crew the same

(also im quite good with creative monetisation ;) )

... i dont really have time day to day to lead the charge (and not a fan of leadership tbh) but i say we should take volunteers, ill grind my actual work like hell if @retoor keeps tolerating near our current level of contact/convos... turns out we have similar sleep schedules, both close to null... and retoors drive honestly motivates me in a nostalgic way that really brings out the *oooo shiny!* of it all.

then ill mod my nearly done ticket system enough, maybe make an smtp server or something better for additional communications, welcome any volunteers to collab... hopefully one will be willing and adept enough for the day to day... and we can build an empire, track and score contributions, i can set up a communal business where valid contributions=shares and votes...

hell ill even pay for a new domain name if we can come up with a good one

and we can build a damn empire!

thoughts? (@anyone/everyone)

@Lensflare btw... u reminded me... ill offer free hosting for anything with useability to either fix or recreate a better version of this platform... i have the server space, resources (hardware, bandwidth, etc) and ill even donate use of one of my currently spare static IPv4s (got a /28) for at least a year... probably some of my personal IP too... not sure if/what of my company code/IP i can lend yet cuz currently entertaining offers (tbh not sure i wanna accept any... and its def not cuz they arent high enough... just seems annoying)

so lets build some shiny shit! and save our group of oddly endearing, often questionably sane, trash talking, socially obscure weirdos we call home!

...

@Lensflare see, toorii seems to think im naïve and havent had much exp building stuff... i mean i totally get why toorii so adorably thinks this...

but here's the subtext of my return...

(you know a lot of this)

i wasnt only sick the past 2 yrs... it was just soooooo long (since childhood) that i literally was so use to dealing with it (on a slowly increasing scale) that i literally didnt know how sick ive been or have literally any clue what it was like to not be quite ill literally all the time... too many things were undiagnosed basically my whole life.

sooo...was kinda operating at 30% capacity tops... i think im probably just hitting about 60ish now... but the curve took a sharp up slope a few times in the past 6mo or so.

the fact i got anything done before is ridiculous... yet i still was doing more than most humans that are perfectly healthy, non-handicapped, etc., do.

so imagine how all the pent up *ooo shiny! i wanna build it*'s are gonna finally erupt out

@Lensflare lol this site is sooo fked up now... it just told me in notifs that your initial comment was 3hrs ago ROFL

@SidTheITGuy SYNDEY! HIIIIII!

did ya miss me sweetie? i missed you... seriously, the entertainment of your hardcore attempts to gaslight and annoy me... i want you back in my life!

btw, are you still in you larval stage? or have you become a moth yet?

@TeachMeCode you know... i still find you such a shame... logical, good engineering brain... just self-crippling... lmk if you ever wanna change that, itd be nice to have the legit you around and see how far that crippled potential goes

@antigermanist i assume your lack of name calling in those situations is due to lack of creativity and/or fear

@antigermanist ok i gotta ask... why does your avatar look like a pedo joined a motorcycle gang, found jesus, then decided to attempt dev-ing til the man-bun grows in?

@antigermanist are you the new ostream????

@retoor your responses give me a tiny flicker of hope for humanity.

to OP- as an extreme data nerd and security pro with over 2 decades of pro web dev (like starting at real web dev... not like the barnacles\Sids of the world... before not only smartphones... but even camera phones or data plans)... a lot more should be server side than what is.

example with your vaguely described email field... if it ONLY needs to check format(like a regex of essentially string+@+string+.+TLD) then client side ofc. but, if it needs to make sure it's not a duplicate, server side.

@D-4got10-01 i actually have a large poster about Murphy's law. it doesn't really fit the decor of my bedroom (red brick wall panels on the bottom of the walls, graffiti (dynamically changing if someone feels like spray painting), etc)... but it's there until i find a more suited place.

I used to have a smaller, metal, sign.
.... it was well suited to the main in\out door when i lived in apartments.
it just said "never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups."... then, after over 4yrs at the same place, without even the slightest negative comment... some new, old man, assuming i reported his dog (it was loud and annoying af... which is why i didn't, the 4 other apartments obviously wouldve\did), said he was "offended" by the sign.

i ofc changed to another sign that wasn't breaking any rules but annoyed him more (You got PWNED, looked like a license plate)

ive always wondered if he thought it out enough to know its only possibly offensive if u believe you're stupid.

@TheBeardedOne
yeah... you're right. unfortunately it also applies to geniuses that absorb and maintain info and skill way quicker than should be possible.
mom= adv practice nurse(crna)...between days ill and minor surgeries\nerve blocks\etc... i spent soooo many days in the surgical lounge... plus since i was little, i taught 1st aid and AED classes
int. legal and business exp... too much to list
etc., etc...

i have a bunch of 'hobbies' that could each be a career. i innately retain way too much info, whether or not I want to. i also am ocd... especially with language. (yesterday i had brief dental work done... had to ask my dentist to stop saying "open big" cuz i impulsively kept wanting to correct him (wide\wider)).

@BordedDev nope
nvr seen it. ill look into it when I get time.

@retoor u meant me not jest... i somehow didn't realise that i sent it to an invalid email address 2 weeks ago :(

I'll be sending it, actually to you, in the next couple hrs... just making sure i don't overlook\fk something up since i finally made the switch to paying for DocuSign... so gonna have assistant double check b4 sending it (again)... hes the one im making upload\make sure things are formatted correctly.

(there was also a week during those 2 weeks when i was really sick, mainly due to some... 'bozo' (< that's me being ridiculously polite) doctor.... then the constant calling drs to attempt to coordinate referrals, trying to make up for bozo's crap\delays.)

@jestdotty technically it says it cant contain a keyboard pattern AND sequential number... so just 1234 should pass... unless that's also a keyboard pattern?

the more crap they insist on, the weaker the results.

also... despite strongly believing that a native English speaker wrote or reviewed that... it's almost like they are trying to get as close to forming a legitimate sentence as possible without actually making one.

@kiki so how many underlings to you want/tolerate

@kiki right... but thats manual so scaling in population you either need automation via protocols or to turn into a caricature of a grumpy high school janitor, trying to catch those bathroom graffiti hoodlums in the act... forever

@D-4got10-01 you won... but idk you so tell me about yourself so you get a valid prize

@kanyewest i apparently shit gold. Yea, totally unfair... last week i wa0s briefly explaining to a friend this pile of odd electrical components they asked about.

I told them its cuz i gotta set up my new, winter, grow tent and cuz im ill/handicapped/lazy I was trying to find a basic moisture sensor system (already have webcams and made a remote system to change flow etc)... closest tging wasnt rly helpful and was over 350$.

I went to my chinese component suppliers, got a couple extra arduio nanos, a dozen basic moisture sensors, ripped apart some old ak mistakenly deluvered several yrs agi, wifi dongles and grabbed the amazon tablet my mom added to my tech graveyard from never using it .. loaded linux on it ancam writingba quick system(will be like 2hrs) for under 10& and an old af fire tablet for a simple control panel.

Days later im somehow being offered a quite high paying job, with subordinates to produce this as a consumer version... im just cheap and lazy ffs

@retoor u have no clue how excited i am at the prospect of being able to even ½explain certain mechanics without a certain dev yelling(ok.. more like southern girlish whining) at me to stop hurting his head... awesome dev with tons of highly respectable skill(not something i say often)... but data structures, networking, math and low level configs (os and hardware) are not his strong suits...
Fast as hell, well written, code with proper standards and comments... and knowing whats known/simple to typical ppl vs complex and/or rarely know... he's superb at... everything after "with"... im ridiculously horrid at but fully aware i need to learn shit like wtf should/shouldnt be commented??? I literally have no valid frame of reference as to obvious af or complex next lvl logic.

Its like this ecomm and beyond site I gotta finish putting up within a couple days... theres like 4+ types (several colours) of silicone bongs... wtf do you write other than "another silicone bong" and size?

@ashokramcse
Umm...
Do you believe average humans are above "stupid"?

If yes, youre just aloof to the fact that youre definitely below that bar. I wish you luck.

@Demolishun im a great driver... even though im only legally allowed to use 1 hand.

I only tolerate them in their natural habitats... theres a few solid reasons i bought a house in the middle of a corn field.

Occassionally they are amusing to watch... especially with relatively quite minor interference for research reasons

Have you seen the movie "Teeth"?

@retoor hey... i didnt forget... well i did but that was forgetting the timing on chinese new year this year which fked me up majorly... im nearly caught up. Im on mandatory non-work rest for another 45min. but i should be caught up enough to properly get back to you by evening your time. ^.^
