2011 was FIFTEEN YEARS AGO

I’m just here to cheer on a Jitsi link in the wild.

Go Jitsi!

Hey, that reminds me there are good people on X like

AOC

Bernie Sanders

anyone else with half a brain

I keep saying that staying on that platform helps only the fascists running it.

I mean, that’s the only issue.

I put Steam on my Gentoo. Because it works, and I get 0 hassle gaming experience.

Guess who gets my money?

Will it?

I was hoping the new batch of politicians will show the world how it can be done.

Then I saw some memes with young Kalinak? He looks so young, but is on the same boat as Fico. There are many others, I have no doubt about that.

Even people who never saw the old regime can be vile and let’s be honest, fashy enough to pull the country further right.

It’s always a sad day when known thieves get reelected.

The state of eastern Europe is pretty bleak. Even the Czech Republic has elected an asshole.

But also the opposition keeps shitting the bed.

Like how do you fuck up so badly that people choose known devils instead?

I always get upset when people write unclear lines.

I do a lot of code reviews, and it’s taking years to explain how to write code that makes sense. Some are better, some just write, or worse - copy, things that are ambiguous, or are made such by copying them with small changes.

It’s very difficult to specify bullet-proof rules for good code. And after every step devs find more ways to fuck it up.

What do you mean?

Stop DB, run pg_upgrade, start it, win?

Or set up logical replication into newer version, wait for sync, test use-cases, switch write?

Where do you get better experience?

Does that mean it’s still an utter borderline unusable shit?

Tutorials mostly.

Is Maria that much better than MySQL?

Cause that one is absolute shit, very difficult to maintain, and requires lots of config changes and even replicas can disconnect when something’s not 100% ok.

I will take Postgres over any other DB any day of the week.

Is it true?

Postgres with correct fillfactor, it doesn’t create new pages and works very fast.

Replication in MySQL always sucked ass, only received synchronous replication in some new edition, and that also didn’t sound great.

Postgres has logstream and logical replication, both of them can be set to various levels of synchronicity, and logical replication is configurable at least as well as MySQL is in terms of which data is sent.

MySQL always sucked ass.

PostgreSQL went in a different direction, started with best support of the SQL standard, then optimized everything to make it fast.

Postgres has/had the best SQL standard support out of every server, open-source or not.

MySQL was at the other end, only started catching up after Oracle bought it.

We can still build small, text-based websites for free.

I have built fileshare and chat before switching to OSS solutions, which I can selfhost.

No adblocker needed, I can enjoy my part of the internet with people I care about.

Also Wikipedia.

Capitalism is why we can’t have nice things.

LLMs are just a tool.

Tool used to fuck the poor.

Matrix?

Eww

Just get the Demon core off eBay.

Then again, which company would you touch up close? Cause I feel like there is none left. At least not a major company.

JS?
