  • I learned about this http response code too late. About 4 years ago I was working at a startup and I was the “lead engineer” (aka only engineer) on a project where I had to design and implement an entire REST API. I really wish I would have put this in somewhere, since we weren’t doing code review (because it was literally only me).




  • I’m a software engineer, I have taken classes on docker, I host my own web pages, etc. and I STILL can’t get it my own instance of Lemmy running. The instructions are unclear. They have bugs in their docker-compose.yml file. It’s really bad. I have been working on it after work each day for the past 4 days. So far I got the UI working, but i can’t log in or create an account. And I had to disable logging to get it running because I was getting an error with how the logger was defined in the yml file.

    And because I was frustrated, even though I really, really didn’t want to, I tried using their ansible setup. It still didn’t work, and it completely fucked my server. It took me a few hours to undo all the shit it did.

    It’s not in a good state right now. Hopefully they fix it soon.










  • I have noticed this so much today. I pretty much lived in r/hockey for the past 5 years. They had a vote and decided to black out for the 48 hour protest. Once it was clear that the vote was in favor of blacking out (and that the championship deciding game could be played during the blackout), people started pleading to move the blackout to after the championship was decided, which completely defeats the purpose of the protest.

    Well, during the blackout, the championship was decided. Now that it’s open again, everyone is again flipping out about how pointless the protests were, and how we ruined their experience of watching the championship game.
