  • HTTPS has way too much bloat for it to be relevant where SSH is used. Its a protocol to send hypertext in a secure way, SSH is a secure shell. Saying that we should use https out of all tools as a SSH replacement is wild.

    I call you a troll because is my kindest way to say that these opinions that you have are so out of touch with development since more than 30 years that your opinions are just wrong and you are saying them with such conviction that either you are intentionally misleading others for laughs (a troll) or it’s a worse alternative. Yeah I was avoiding having to scrutinize your inability to recognize how the programming world has evolved in the last 30 years. Hell, mobile phones didn’t really exist 30 years ago!


  • I really don’t need github in a box sir. I can use the command line just fine and if I need more my code editor interacts with git I show me a fine interface just fine. Spinning up a local web server to see how the vc is going seems like bloat. The Linux mantra is for each tool to be centralised around one task and fossil seems to be overreaching. It looks like they decided on the name appropriately, some old thing not relevant anymore the no one has heard about in a long time, a fossil.

    Addendum: You know that most lemmy clients, even the webview, don’t render the HTML tags, right?


  • 1995 is new to you? SSH is useful for way more thing than version control, you should be using it when interacting with remote servers in one way or another.

    You must be trolling. I can’t believe you just said that SSH is NOT the battle tested one. I just looked it up, git released in 2005 and fossil in 2006, it’s the newer tool! So, to your comment, literally no U.




  • It’s useful when you want to write some algorithm using specific versions of libraries. It first craps out wrong functions but after 1 or 2 redirects it usually shoots something that I then adapt to my use-case. I usually try googling it first but when most fucking guides use the new way of coding and I’m forced to use fixed versions due to company regulations, it gets frustrating to check if every function of known algorithms is available in the version I’m using and if it’s not, which replacement would be appropriate.

    It might hallucinate from time to time but it usually gives me good enough ideas/alternatives for me to be able to work around it.

    I also use it to format emails and obscure hardware debugging. It’s pretty bad but pretty bad is better than again, 99% of google results suggesting the same thing. GPT suggests you a different thing once you tell it you tried the first one.

    As always, it’s a tool and knowing that the answers aren’t 100% accurate and you need to cross-check them is enough to make it useful.




  • Besides other refutations, I’m going to refute the fact that blockchain requires those three points.

    Block chain is a shared incremental ledger in it’s essence. Since its inception banking systems have adopted it to have shared ledgers between them to manage transactions between them in a secure way, without fear that the ledger has been tampered by some bad actor of the other bank, since the history of transactions is shared in a way that can’t be tampered without alerting both parties.

    So yeah, that. Banks adopted it pretty quickly to be used in transactions. The way you describe immutability is incorrect, you can mutate the current state into the next one, you just can’t mutate past transactions. This example is very much not public, just shared between two private individuals, so not public either. I guess you can call it decentralised too.

    You keep calling it “the block chain”, when blockchain is just a name for a technology, a chain of blocks of information condensed incrementally in the next block, that’s it. You are thinking too hard about it.

    Edit:

    Funnily enough, each one of these elements does have use by itself! For example, distributed databases have been around for decades, and are the basis for much of the tech you use today

    Decentralised != distributed, a biiig !=. Decentralised implies that there’s no main/master node coordinating operations, there’s no main authority. whereas in distributed systems, the ones you mentioned anyway, there’s always a main node coordinating what worker nodes do, worker nodes act on what the main node, there’s a very clear authority role.






  • I have atopical dermatitis so besides the good old showering and applying shampoo twice, once to get the hair clean and the second time to keep the product there while I clean the rest of my body, I use some speficic products concerning the affliction.

    For the shower, I use a highly moisturizing gel from the local store combined with one that’s supposed to be special for the skin that costs 20 times as much, and Blue Cap as a shampoo recommended by my hairdresser to help with dry scalp.

    I usually shave in the shower with hot water so I don’t really need any aftershave cream but I have one for when I dry shave.

    Besides that, I have some local moisturizing cream to be used occasionally when the skin dries too much, and the occasional cortisone paste for eyelids and specific body parts that like to specially dry and have bad reactions.

    When I feel specially oily (which is almost never because yay atopical dermatitis) I tend to buy some natural exfoliant shower gels and then apply moisturizing cream afterward to “replace” bad body oil with good cream oil I guess xD.
