  • In regards to php and js, unless you are talking about node.js, they are in opposition.

    In regards to asp.net, everyone other than windows corporate fanboys dogged the shit out of it. I got hired to a firm who asked for example code, and I submitted a php CRUD that I wrote in just a few hours.

    Go through all the paperwork and basic onboarding: and it is asp.net. Fixed a couple of obvious bugs the first couple of days but quit.

    Ruby on Rails got a lot of hype from my friend back in the day, but he wasn’t much of a programmer but kept pushing me to learn it. Just wasn’t my jam.

    I find that perl, php, python, and js are my most used approaches for web dev. Everything else I write in assembly. /joking, just had one class on it, and to those who can develop in pure assembly, I will bend my fucking knee. "Forgive me, m’Lord, for I am but a simple man. Please afford me forgiveness for needing just a little bit of abstraction. I know I don’t deserve it.



  • A fat chance means the odds are so wide it would be impossible. Like, you have so many slim chances at once on different factors for it to remotely work.

    A slim chance means the odds are tight but there is an actual chance on a single factor.

    One slim chance is better than 40 slim chances focused on a single goal, so fat chance.

    When I use slim chance, I actually will try it if it isn’t going to work and it wouldn’t hurt to try.

    Fat chance means you shouldn’t bother to try it. The stars would have to perfectly align.







  • More like corporate welfare. Windows 10 was touted as just going to be called Windows, no more versions persè as it would be just an agile rolling release.

    Then Intel was like, “these peeps are using 24 year old computers and slapping SSDs in them… we need to do something to get people to buy computers, Micro$lop.”

    And they replied with Windows 11, which forced people to buy new Intel hardware, slapped a new UI that is buggy and gross, threw in copilot, and it takes a ton of registry edits to make the damn thing usable for me.

    Anout to go back to BSD or just say, “fuck technology” and become an electrician.









  • I am not asking what your definition of propaganda is. I am saying I am missing your frame of reference.

    She doesn’t do propaganda. We would have never, ever dated. She ended up working at a hospital.

    So I guess raising awareness for women to check themselves and how to for breast cancer (literally what she did) is somehow now propaganda.

    You don’t like boobs and human lives? Are you one of those anti-breast-checkers? Breast cancer denier?

    Well, I am drinking the kool-aid, Alex Jones. /simply being facetious, not mocking you, so please take no offense.

    So I do computers/networks/programming, and I have a big white board in my living room.

    She was finishing her bachelors and I came home one day to find she wrote “I am so sick of talking about talking!”

    I didn’t erase it. Just worked around it. And I would point at it anytime I had to repeat myself. I am obviously a charmer.

    But we aren’t together now, actually, because she didn’t want children and I did. So it goes.




  • I would rather just get a $100 brocade off eBay. Ubiquiti edge routers (at least four years ago) were nice but good god: don’t let them lose power.

    Fortunately, the router runs off a thumb drive, but when you are trying to fix a network that is in production and the FNG figures he can just power cycle it like Comcast taught him with his router at home… fml. Especially on a WAN (like ISP), it is a fucking nightmare.

    I have found Sophos and Netgate to be good solutions for small businesses, except setting VLANs on Netgate is a pain, but so is setting a VPN on Sophos. And Sophos is also a licensing bitch.
