I sentence you to radial blur on everything

no. events and our decisions are abstracted far enough so that the illusion of free will is apparent. I think it’s very well impossible to fully distinguish between free will and fate from our limited perspective

probably not true in most other langauges. although I’m not well versed in the way numbers are represented in code and what makes a number “NaN”, something tells me the technical implications of that would be quite bad in a production environment.

the definitive way to check for NaN in JS would probably be something like

// with `num` being an unknown value

// Convert value to a number
const res = Number(num);

/*
 * First check if the number is 0, since 0 is a falsy
 * value in JS, and if it isn't, `NaN` is the only other
 * falsy number value
 */
const isNaN = res !== 0 && !res;

C, because yes.

never been diagnosed.

agnizing over tasks happens often, and at the same time I’m not actually bringing any pleasure to myself by avoiding it.

this, except it’s just an upsetting reminder that the task I’m putting off is not even that hard, yet I’m still not doing it.

Immich full stop, like everyone else has said. self hostable so as much storage as you can buy (and maintain backups of!), AI so you can search your photos like “sunset on beach”, and just rock solid, despite it “”“technically”“” still in pre-release stage

shred or alternatively you can zero out all the bytes in a drive with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/<DRIVE>

if you know/use docker, the solution that has been the most straightforward for me is SWAG. the setup process is fairly easy when combined with registering your domain with Porkbun, as they allow free API access needed for obtaining top-level (example.com) as well as wildcard (*.example.com) SSL certificates.

along with that, exposing a new service is fairly easy with the plethora of already included nginx configs for services like Nextcloud, Syncthing, etc.

fair, been to one of those as well. definitely worse than Olive Garden.

not even sure if I stand alone on this hill, but Olive Garden is the worst place I’ve ever eaten at.

I still find Tealdeer useful even now, it helps me get working with commands I know little about, more so than a manpage

Any Inter fans? :(

I couldn’t stand not using a custom app for Reddit because it is just so bad. I’m a nerd too so that made moving here easier.

As for getting others to move here, not yet. 🥲

Vesktop.

I tried both MQTT and just the plain HTTP variant, and I couldn’t get either to work. I’ve fully settled on the latter you mentioned, Traccar. it’s pretty much what I’ve wanted: self-hosted, easy to set up, beautiful web interface. Thanks for the suggestions!

for two reasons, I can’t use this.

1. Android. Me, my family. Our past phones were, our current phones are, and future phones will be Android phones.
2. I’m looking for whatever it may be to be OSS and self-hostable (if the community name didn’t give that implication away)

OwnTracks setup was a bit confusing to me and I never got it working. traccar looks pretty nice though, I’ll check it out!

oh my fuck. circular imports.

I set out to create a Discord Bot in Python, then gave up trying to use an easy “proper” server-side language and just did it in TypeScript

I didn’t know cobalt.tools was OSS. cool!
