Then I suggest they use an XNOR pointer instead! Checkmate patent trolls!

Huh. I am sure you could search for individual books. For sure you could do it by goodreads ID I think? Yes, adding an entire author as the primary way to do things is a bit much for some. I know for sure I have managed to do individual books before now.
It’s a real shame because Readarr did work and they really just needed to fix their own metadata servers. No? Or were there other problems I’m not aware of?

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Works if manually restarted by an intern from time to time
7·1 month agoI mean, I have to say I’ve hastened my own demise (in program terms) by over-engineering something that should be simple. Sometimes adding protective guardrails actually causes errors when something changes.

20·1 month agoYes, had the same happen. Something that should be simple failing for stupid reasons.

21·1 month agoYep. It seems they haven’t changed a thing about the format. Probably a script much older than mine on their end is generating it too.

99·1 month agoI have a tool that I wrote, probably 5+ years ago. Runs once a week, collects data from a public API, translates it into files usable by the asterisk phone server.
I totally forgot about it. Checked. Yep, up to date files created, all seem in the right format.
Sometimes things just keep working.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Have you been exposed to an IPv6 address at work?
7·2 months agoWith IPv6 for most use cases there’s actually more security. With privacy extensions (pretty sure it’s enabled on windows by default), when you make connections from your device, it uses a “private” IP. That is a randomly chosen address inside your network’s prefix, that changes regularly.
These addresses don’t accept incoming connections. You have a main address that doesn’t really change that you accept connections on. Firewall that for ports you want to allow and then hackers need to port scan 2^64 or 2^80 address space to find your real IPs in your prefix. If they capture your IP from a connection to a web server etc, they won’t have luck scanning you.
Again as per my post above, the biggest risk right now is bad default configurations on many home routers.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Have you been exposed to an IPv6 address at work?
6·2 months agoThe “firewall” features are called connection tracking and, a firewall. With IPv6 I have my firewall setup very similar to NAT. Established and outgoing new connections are allowed (this is done using connection tracking). Incoming new connections are not allowed unless I open up a specific port.
Home firewalls SHOULD be setup the same for IPv6, a lot are not and IMO is the main problem right now.
Just lay down, and pretend you’re compiling.

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•If we are living in a simulation, do you think it is running a FOSS OS/software or a proprietary one?
2·2 months agoThat should all be covered in the unit tests.

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•If we are living in a simulation, do you think it is running a FOSS OS/software or a proprietary one?
14·2 months agoNo. That’s just because the thread simulating your consciousness has leaked too much memory. So when you sleep the thread saves important parts of the memory map and terminates and a new one is started with an empty memory map ready for a new “day” .

8·2 months agoYes. I host a vpn at my house. Then vpn in on fire stick/laptop etc. No problems to date.

12·2 months agoHow do you know? Just because the repository is hosted outside of our space-time. Doesn’t mean it’s not an open source repository.
I do use postgres but only as an rdb provider. I thought while it supports json data as a type, does it provide for all of the other advantages of nosql databases for their use case?
Ultimately I feel like the best solution is to have a single database provider that could do both fully. I’m not sure it’s really there yet. But halpt to be told I’m wrong. I’ve not really needed that myself for my projects.
I never understood why people compare nosql to rdbms. They are entirely different systems with different use cases.
Where you neee data consistency and need to always get the same results to a query go with a structured rdbms. Where you need speed over all of that (and there are real use cases for this) then nosql is for you. Using both is of course a likely result too.
There’s of course a lot of other considerations. But they’re different tools for different situations.

Of course not. As the merovingian in the matrix says. French is a fantastic language, especially to curse with.
