netikras said @bazmd spam posts,@retoor looks nice, but I find that 'x timeunits ago' format rather annoying, esp when it's everywhere...

I prefer bash's built-ins (taken from my ~/.bashrc):

```

export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%F %T "

export IGNOREEOF=2

export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "↑$(date +%H:%M:%S) [${PIPESTATUS[@]}]\n"'

```

Still working on the 'duration' part,@red @-red,@retoor I start to feel here like an old person. When all the people you knew and talked to, had fun with back in the day, are disappearing quietly one after another. And are replaced by the new generations and their immaturity.

Makes one thing when is it going to be my last day here... Could it be today?,@retoor As for @IntrusionCM, I miss him. He was one of the smart ones. Perhaps that's why he left. He probably ran out of patience to deal with all this teenage attention seeking.,@retoor yeah, well.. when this responsibility is to bots and teenagers/kids, there just isn't much of a point :),Why should it? It has a personal minon (you) to clean up after it.,@ScriptCoded @Grumm

Self-tags appear as marked-as-read notifications in notifs. 

The bot only acts on unread notifs ;)

https://gitlab.com/netikras/...,When will you finally get to the point where you say "fuck it, this life isn't for me"?

Because.. maybe it isn't :) 

I'm not saying "uninstall life". What I'm saying, try a different version for it. Maybe your hardware is not well compatible with the version of "Life" you're trying to run. Try mods, different releases. After all, your hardware will only last this long.

Try to find what's fun for you. Cling to it. Explore it. Enjoy it. Hint: most likely it's not your job :),Ubuntu makes 2 releases per year: 04 and 10. The first part is year, followed by a dot, followed by 04 [spring] or 10 [autumn]. I see nothing wrong with this versioning.,@kiki I mean, if you refer to ubuntu 2024, which release would that be? Spring or autumn? How would you refer the other one then? "2024-the-other-one"?,I know a guy with lots of contacts and another who has a handful of such guys within his reach.,I used to do that for ServiceNow years ago. Just for fun, not bcz it was poorly written. I had the coolest hackerish SN theme in the department [~1k heads] 😁 

ps. I used a Chrome extension Stylish

I guess the same could be done with crappy css in www too. I come across them every now and then, but I'm lucky enough to not have to visit them daily :),> I'm going crazy, aren't I

Always have been,@jestdotty I think this is where 'AI' would be really useful [writing/summarizing them],Took me a while... 😁,I DO hope there was some written comms and you can screenshot-reply with CC wider audience stroking their incopetence in front of their mgmt :) perhaps even C level, hinting this is the n-th time they have severe issues that have been warned about way in advance by tech personnel and ignored by direct mgmt.

Ooohh that would feel gooood :)))

you don't have to be submissive. You can bite too,@Root is higher/top mgmt equally malignant?,@spongessuck i think the mess might have smth to do with clients closing down..,This is surely much cooler. 

However, maintenance, parts' wear, vibrations -- these are only some of the reasons they were left in the past. I don't remember about efficiency though

I think there even were some accidents where due to the mechanical fault passengers were injured by the spinning mass (IDK if I read that or someone told me).,@spongessuck which one? How is it? Enough? For what? Would you still buy it now?,@spongessuck thank you. This helps.

Earlier this year I got a beast of a laptop, so I'm not after a new one. And new lappy with a gpu means I can't upgrade it. Hence the research :),passed the sugar rush and reached the sugar crash phase. After a BIG bag of caramel popcorn in the movies.,Depends on the smell. You can easily knock out everyone in the room with quiet low pressure air holding high concentration of smell particles [aka ninja fart].,No idea. I haven't got enough time for friendships anyway, so why bother,@Lensflare 
better yet:

- contains either email or phone no [remove spaces, look for email/phone no signatures/regexp

keywords might be a false positive. But noone on this platform shares contact info. Willingly.,@retoor well, I've just downvoted two spam posts and both of them contact info. Most of them do. Not only the bitcoin ones.,@retoor as for my bot - it's hosted on my custom-built linux router/media centre/cloudbox 😁 I really use it for everything...

'hosted' is a stretch. It's running in tmux in a while :; do :; done loop 😁 makes me try my best to not to crash my router as I never remember neither openai nor dR creds 😁,@retoor thanks for leaving a note in bots' infos about the mainrainer :) will be easier to escalate if shit hits the fan.

P.S. Does downvoting through api also undo the previous downvote? Or is it just FE logic?,Pfft.. That's the Beginner level.

Add 3 kids [newborn, preschooler and a 1st-grader], a side gig [contracting] and a house reconstruction project. And weekends with family activities. All that on top of 'wife and an FTE job'.

Then we can talk. If anyone's got it figured out - let me know. While I'm still afloat. And not broke.,@retoor,@retoor I found his post downvoted. I figured it was one of your minions,@SidTheITGuy don't worry, you'll get there 😁 and even get used to it.

Being in 2 places at once will become a new norm 😁,@retoor wdyt, do these work? Would they work in dr?

https://medium.com/@varun.tyagi83/...,@retoor it kind of sucks when both the bots start @-tagging and responding to each other.,Would you sell them on ebay/etsy/wtv.? I'd surely get smth for my.. <cough>.. Kids.,That's what the Weeping Angels do...

Don't. Blink.,@retoor more common in UK. Idk, ask The Doctor, he knows better where to look for them,@retoor yupp.Until they touch you,Frankly, we are used to @retoor being the real you. Now it's just confusing. Both tags give a response, both are human-readable and fuck knows which is which. Sonetimes retoor posts the first comment [eg tag ragnar]. How would a bot do that? Why? Which implies retoor is still you. Esp when you intentionaly make us doubt by '...is not a bot [or is it?]'

Please don't make it unnecessarily confusing :) 

and then there are 2 [+?] more types of your accounts which are pure bots [are they?].

If we wanted to talk to a bot, we'd go to chatgpt imo. No offence, yours is cool, but not smth I'd like to just chat to in dR. It's devRant, not devChat ;),Makes sense. A filter catches particular particles it's designed for [by size, by shape, by polarity, etc], and lets the rest flow through. In code filters also are designed to detect particular entities, but contrary to irl filters, they let those entities flow through.

Makes sense. Never thought about filters being inverse in programming. They act more like select() than filterOut(),@retoor well, it's significantly slower in UEFI too. Initialization and POST are slower by magnitudes, grub menu loading - ... I'll put it this way: on batt grub menu pops up. On charger it's 'painted' on the screen top-to-bottom in ~1sec. The loaded OS is also much slower and more laggy.

It's worth mentioning that I observe this only when charging with my 40W usbc charger. No probs with a 100w barrel charger.

@devrancid
Since this discovery I'm actually glad they do that. Apparently, a too weak power supply can halt the system

@jestdotty,0. It's the second december in a row that I'm on vacation through the whole month or more.

#NoWorkDecember,@Lensflare it's bcz you ARE a junkie. By def you're used to it.

Try trippling coffee concentration in each of your cup.

I've desensitised myself to be perfectly ok with 2 cups of mild-weak joe throughout the day. Third one will switch me to overdrive. Fourth one or an espresso will be an overdose with tremors. 

I used to have 4-6 strong cups before. I was too used to coffee and couldn't get the boost I needed during night-time drives. I had to change it. So I quit coffee completely for 2 weeks. It was hard. But defntl worth it. Years have passed and an extra cup of joe still cuts it for me.,@jestdotty immediately after drinking a hot beverage -- caffeine didn't have enough time to start working, and the warmth is so soothing that it makes you drowsy. 

That's why I now only drink ice coffee for the road,@jestdotty It wanted to eat you too,Fuck intel through their wifi adapters.

I'm still pissed at them for amputating LAR,I'm yet to encounter one.,@retoor well we live in a post-soviet block multi-apartment building. So yes, we have a shared staircase, so our neighbours could reach their apartments,finally killed that limping PROD server? It was long overdue anyway...,@Ranchonyx I was in a similar situation when I tried to make planned a change in Liferay's database tables (PROD). It killed the whole Liferay's entity mapping. I had to restore its tables (thanks to Oracle's Flashback) to make it work again, otherwise it was showing but stock Liferay webpage.

That project was scheduled for an audit by a national bank the next day. I had to improvise. A good lad sysadmin (client-side) helped me out as long as he could, but he had to go to sleep some time too. So I asked him to try the last thing and I promised it will be the last thing I ask him that day. I wasn't sure if it would work.

It worked.

I slept unlike any baby that night.

So you're not alone making such fuckups :) Shit happens.

Worst case, you have backups. You DO have backups, right?

If you have oracle -- you DO have flashback enabled, right? If you do -- don't wait until it expires, restore all you can while you can into shadow tables.,@Ranchonyx gj!,yeah, with RTL it's a hit-and-miss. Before purchasing one I now check in the internet what's the underlying chipset and whether or not there are drivers for it for Linux.

With some manual configuration (mostly udevd-related) RTL8814AU works very well in my case. In AP mode. I'm sorry yours didn't. Though I know the struggle, I walked the same path a few years back when I was building my first Linux router. I've learned from my mistakes and now I'm on my 2nd gen as my main and only home wifi AP.,I wonder if deleting an acc also undoes its downvotes. Deleting anti-spambots might bump up spambots' score,No. DR is already hanging on duct tape and snots. Let's not spam to fight spam, shall we?,@12bitfloat additional unnecessary traffic + disk pressure + there is no point to spam inside spam posts. I see nothing to gain. Except make more spam,@12bitfloat spambots' goal is to distribute info. Not to collect feedback. It's as useful as cursing into /dev/null,@12bitfloat imo spam is ineffective in thisplatform regardless the number of comments...

And comments are only visible when you click on a spam post, so you must have seen and read the post already...

Maybe it's just me, I fail to see how spamming with comments would help,Missing 'devrant' tag 😁,@retoor could it be that he's forked your code? Just wondering if it could have backfired...,ping,pong,free updoots?,I could recommend skikk. Cheap, works ootb, linux-friendly by design. I've got green5 maxxed out in specs [way over your budget tho]. Plastics aren't the strong suit, but the guts are amazing.,Agree the project's naming conventions upfront: whether you'll be using singulars or plurals in table names, whether/how you'll prefix table and index object names, etc.

As for now - look at the other tables' names and make it like them,@antigermanist there are other laptops at skikk, cheaper too :),@Demolishun well it IS about dR, so... It would make sense I guess? :)```
