I started learning Golang today and really like it.

The error handling is *excellent*. It always works the same way and is standardized, unlike the hell that NodeJS error handling is (.catch(), try).

Modules confused the fuck out of me. I eventually figured out how they worked, but Go really doesn't try to make it easy to have multiple source folders...

I'll probably be re-writing my Discord Bot in Golang soon. Being able to have just one binary output will make things infinitely easier. Compile-time variables are another feature that's nice and easy to implement.

The goal is only having to upload a single binary to deploy on production from my CI script that has all keys and stuff inside. Feels good to finally throw all that old bad JS code out and starting completely fresh.

Small update on my "small" Discord bot:
Feels good. It now covers the operating costs.

the GPU market is painful

Vue is pretty nice to use so far. Easier than I thought it would be.
Library wise, Vuetify is satisfying. Damn this looks pretty. Why did I not find this sooner?

damn you!

So, anyone looking for hacktoberfest PRs?

You absolute piece of shit.
Fuck you.
I hope your sleeves slide down every single time you wash your hands.

Hey, can someone help me test out PGP?
Just set up a key and did some keyserver uploads, not sure if this really works tho.
Just send a message encrypted with my key please. :)

If I did mess keyservers up, it's also here: https://privateger.me/pgp.txt

POV: you have left a react project alone for half a year

Websites that redirect you to a custom /404 page after you've typed their way too fucking long URL and misspelled a single word deserve to be nuked from orbit.
Holy fucking shit, why is this a thing? Has this ever helped ANYBODY?

The dev.to code of conduct is irritating.
Direct quote:

We pledge to prioritize marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. We will not act on complaints regarding:

- ‘Reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and ‘cisphobia’

...what?

Just to amend to my rant a year or two back where I said literally nobody uses anything I made:
Sweet sweet success :)
Finally, I have something nice to put on a resume.

I greatly underestimated how long it would take to compile Android.

"doing a volkswagen" - code behaving differently on production than on your machine

File Uploads in PHP are scary.

Behold the monstrosity regex my transpiler produces!

/val|var|[1-9]{1,32}|\+|\-|\*|s\/s|>>|=|;|(["'])(?:(?=(\\?))\2.)*?\1|print\(|log\(|sqrt\(|input\(|strToArray\(|httpGet\(|if\(|else|{|}|s==s|s>=s|s<=s|s>s|s<s|s&&s|\|\||!|;|\(|\)|\[|\]| |\w+/gi

Hidden services are extremely cool.

Not having to pay for the "domain" is also really nice.

Now to generate a nice vanity URL...

I appreciate Ruby so much more now after writing a tiny Assembly + C Grub-compatible kernel and being forced to read libc source code.
The lower levels truly are a dark place.

QUACK QUACK

I will find you and murder you for thinking this is okay

Just dropping by to tell you that gocryptfs is the best solution for encrypting a directory that I have ever come across and isn't absolute cancer to set up.

Look it up. It's amazing.

Fuck it, I'll learn Rust.
The syntax looks otherworldly, but it's supposed to be nice and fast, which I currently need, so...

My Arch install just randomly killed itself, lol

I'm still unable to find a single advantage of using the Firebase Database over MongoDB, yet people keep suggesting me to do so.
WHY? I can host Mongo for free on my own server and won't have to worry about *READING* costing money!

36.000 users. One life goal achieved. ^^

How many kilobytes of resources (CSS, JS) do you deem acceptable? I need to know how much I should optimize.

And no, I will not use no JS. Don't suggest that. Svelte is needed.

I think the Gelbooru API is pretty nice.
It's consistent, has a structure that makes sense, supplies JSON and has pretty nice endpoints + parameters.

Boring. Overused.

- New
- Metal as fuck
- Works just as well

The sheer concept of Gitmoji needs to fucking die.

That's all. Bye.

Does anyone have some small projects I can contribute to for Hacktoberfest? I'm having some problems finding anything that doesn't have a humongous codebase or is dead.
