'Yes boss, I need 16-Bit, 32-Bit and 64-Bit Arm and x86_64 ASM as well as MySQL, SQLite, Postgres, Firebird, Mongo and all other stuff too, so I need a lot of computers … of course all with Threadripper PRO 7995WX’s.

Netcat is basically just a utility to listen on a socket, or connect to one, and send or receive arbitrary data. And as, in Linux, everything is a file, which means you can handle every part of your system (eg. block devices [physical or virtual disks]) like a normal file, i.e. text, you can just transfer a block device (e.g. /dev/sda3) over raw sockets.

Nah, it’s probably more efficient to .tar.xz it and use netcat.

On a more serious note, I use sftp for everything, and git for actual big (but still personal) projects, but then move files and execute scripts manually.

And also, I cloned my old Laptops /dev/sda3 to my new Laptops /dev/main/root (on /dev/mapper/cryptlvm) via netcat over a Gigabit connection with netcat. It worked flawlessly. I love Linux and its Philosophy.

In the modern world it’s completely subjective.
The lowest-level language is probably ASM/machine code, as many people at least edit that regularly, and the highest-level would be LLMs. They are the shittiest way to program, yes, but technically you just enter instructions and the LLM outputs eg. Python, which is then compiled to bytecode and run. Similar to how eg. Java works. And that’s the subjective part; many people (me included) don’t use LLMs as the only way to program, or only use them for convenience and some help, therefore the highest level language is probably either some drag-and-drop UI stuff (like scratch), or Python/JS. And the lowest level is either C/C++ (because “no one uses ASM anyway”), or straight up machine code.

manually FTPing the files up to the server seems ridiculously antiquated

But … but I do that, and I’m only 18 :(

But why can a theme make web requests?!

Why can a Word or Excel file execute shell code? Why does M$ SQL Server have xp_cmdshell?

Because we live in a broken world and nothing matters.

Because devs chose to live in this part of the world, dictated by M$ and other large companies, who just don’t care.

How about “Let me selfhost my own repos, so other people working with my stuff can use IPv6, as well as be sure no large corporation known for being cancer stands behind it and monitors every thing I do.”?

Or one could use alternative hosters, or maybe even selfhost git services.

When selfhosting stuff, it’s just incredibly difficult to properly set this up while maintaining compatibility with http for other stuff. Usually you’ll have one reverse proxy (eg. nginx) handling http/https encryption and forwarding to a socket (or in case of docker, one of a dozen open ports on one of a hundred interfaces, fuck you docker), over http. The APIs themselves almost never have direct https support, and even if I wanted to manage them directly, certbot only supports reverse proxies directly. So you need to differentiate between api and non-api in the reverse proxy.

And searching for a german word always brings up dictionaries from german to english, instead of Wikipedia etc.

With most topics, I find fastgpt to be the most up to date, accurate and best sourced. And with just a normal search there’s basically just one expandable strip with AI, no real annoyance for me.

Kagi only lists postgresql.org for the first 10 entries, but outdated ones in first place. With the programming scope it collapses all official do s entries to one, with GH and SO filling the rest.

For the quick answer, it also uses the ‘outdated’ docs as source, but as it only gives a very shallow overview there shouldn’t be any difference in version (i.e. it checks for a value in a list in all versions the same, and quick answer leaves out details specific to different versions)

If I see someone boasting about programming with AI, in 0.1% of cases they use it responsibly (as a tool to quickly get introduced into a topic and brainstorm ideas) and the rest of times they’re probably a script kiddie letting ChatGPT do advent of code or smth and calling themselves programmers.

Also, Firefox Nightly with uBlock on Android, and Piped as frontend for YouTube anyway.

If the dev made the assumption that you are your own friend, but did not want to count yourself, so subtracted 1 (yourself) from the friend counter, you would have -1 friends in case you hated yourself.

Sources: me.

That’s the level of an intern that has never even seen a command. Imagine not being able to literally cat a string with another string, aka. add -data_field first to a command.

That’s the generation that doesn’t understand computers at all. FFS.

I’d rather read ASM than … that random crap.

Never said that Oracle isn’t evil, just pointed out M$ is extra evil

At least it isn’t confused with a certain Java clone by an evil company or ++ version of itself or not acknowledged at all, because it is just named after a single character, like C for example…
