Which is meant to be the same as a rejection. If they have correctly implemented it is another thing.

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•The way of the pirateEnglish
10·18 days agoI mean I pay artists when I can. I buy and download songs from an artist I like, but for what ever reason this one track is not available to download. Stream only! I can’t be sure, but I feel like I should say fuck you to netflix.
This is the shit that makes pirates.
I can confirm that we should all be making chocolate chip cookies. I can’t confirm any of the other stuff.
Not sure if that is a good thing. Some of the best mods came out of someone finding a mod taking too long to update or the creator deciding to skip a version. They then created a new mod to fill that same role, and in some cases becoming the new defacto for that role.
Change is good for creativity, imo.

Worth running them through musicbrainz Picard scanner. I think most from that era will have a signature added to he db. (Assuming you’ve not tried this.)

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•What are some of the worst code you have seen in a production environment?
6·2 months agoOk so this one is someone trying to move to “the cloud.”
They had a database they used. It was on a server in the office. We were tasked to clone the db server to a hosted VM. Due to order of creation this got put on a new host without anything yet on it.
They needed a site to site VPN to keep privacy, that was all fine. However after the clone and during testing, their guy there said that this one part was really slow. We take a look and everything is good with performance of the server and of the VPN. I have to pop on to take a look.
It was in an office app and written in VB. (I forgot which one.) It was indeed slower on the hosted server. So I took a look at the function (he got it up for me) and I could instantly tell the issue.
This part was a lookup page that searched for you input. The function retrieved the entire table, then filtered the results in the client. I explained that transferring the whole table over the internet would be slower than on the local lan.
This guy said he originally wrote this, but “forgot VB.”
In the end they decided not to update the app or keep the server in the office, but instead they rented some VDIs in the same data centre as the db.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Clock, but it's downloaded from app store
80·2 months agoNo way, those gem costs are way off, they have to be just larger than one of the packs. Minutes would cost 550 so that you either need to buy 2 500s or a 1250 pack.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Why do so many services require email configuration?English
21·2 months agoEven if you have a proper clean IP, running a mail server is a hassle imo. By far having a single relay to send is fine if you get things set right, but also dealing with incoming spam is just way more work than paying to have it hosted.
I much prefer paying for email hosting and just dealing with outgoing emails if needed.
No mention of ms edit? I feel this won’t last.

Technology@lemmy.ml•AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright
2·3 months agoIirc Amazon has a special tooling for creating iot devices. It’s supposed to make creating the communication easier so you don’t have a bunch badly implemented communication systems. Ofc it uses Amazon’s cloud.
I would not be surprised if they all failed this way due to using the tool. As in the Dev’s code might not even get to know there was an outage, and the tool just keeps telling it the last state it got.
But we are running out of unique bus numbers! What will we do when they run out?
The number of people that are anti wires, but also want WiFi signals everywhere is too high.
Probably the indexing service, it’s always the indexing service.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting?English
6·4 months agoAn easy option is to add the data folders for the container you are using as a volume mapped to a local folder. Then the container will just put the files there and you can backup the folder. Restore is just put the files back there, then make sure you set the same volume mapping so the container already sees them.
You can also use the same method to access the db directory for the migration. Typically for databases you want to make sure the container is stopped before doing anything with those files.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Have you been exposed to an IPv6 address at work?
7·4 months agoI mean they dropped the parts of ip4 that are not used. They only multiplied the number of bits by 4, otherwise it’s the exact same ideas. The confusing part might be that a device gets multiple addresses off the bat. Using decimal for 128 bits would have made the address even worse.
As someone else who used to host via an open port, you get random connections all the time. Almost constantly and the request paths make it obvious they are scanning for vulnerabilities. Via cloud flare the number of those requests is much lower, as they have to know at least the DNS to do so, (and can’t guess it from a presented SSL cert.)


The number of scripts I’ve seen that would break with an O’Neill or O’Brien is too high. Worse is some people don’t get it when pointed out.
