Try sunglasses? But maybe other souls can still be saved from evil…

Disadvantage: you’re now using a browser from the biggest spy ad-ware company and killed web heterogeneity.

Try: Firefox from Mozilla-Team PPA

Thanks for that little riddle, managed to solve it (with the hint) during my morning coffee.

I bit the bullet and bought the Jetbrains Ultimate bundle because I develop in lots of different languages. It includes WebStorm and it is a joy to use. It helps where necessary and doesn’t get in my way…

For a moment I thought you literally meant a penguin herder, I would be so happy…

That is correct. There is both and Ing and Ir title that are Engineer. Ir for masters and Ing for higher education.

See Titels voeren.

Same for the Netherlands.

That’s such a shame. ZFS has been rock solid for me for years while I hear lots of scary stories about btrfs.

Just a note, unless you have a very specific use-case you don’t want to do deduplication.

See:

Yes, and it saved my ass a few times. Every computer I own now and in the future will have at least mirrored or raidz disks with zfs. On all desktops, laptops, servers and nas.

Even upgrading from spinning rust to ssd was easy replacing the disks one by one and resilvering.

The (k)ubuntu installation made it very easy to have an encrypted zfs rootfs but they may have removed it on newer installation iso’s, I’m not sure…

Yes, and that is where we enter the complicated territories…

I’m sorry, but have you ever needed to manage some certificates for a legacy system or something that isn’t just a simple public facing webserver?

Automation becomes complicated very quickly. And you don’t want to give DNS mutation access to all those systems to renew with DNS-01.

I do not agree. Very often, when using libraries for example, you need some extra custom handling on types and data. So the easy way is to inherit and extend to a custom type while keeping the original functionality intact. The alternative is to place the new functionality in some unrelated place or create non-obvious related methods somewhere else. Which makes everything unnecessary complex.

And I think the trait system (in Rust for example) creates so much duplicate or boilerplate code. And in Rust this is then solved by an even more complex macro system. But my Rust knowledge might just nog be mature enough, feel free to correct me if I’m wrong…

As a life-long developer in OOP languages (C++, Java, C#, among others) I still think OOP is quite good when used with discipline. And it pains me that there is so much misunderstood hate towards it nowdays.

Most often novice programmers try to abuse the inheritence for inpropper avoiding of duplicate code, and write themself into a horrible sphagetti of dependencies. So having a good base or design beforehand helps a lot. But building the code out of logical units with fenced responisbilities is in my opinion a good way to structure code.

Currently I’m doing a (hobby) project in Rust to get some feeling for it. And I have a hard time to wrap my mind around some design choices in the language that would have been very easily solved with a more OOP like structure. Without sacrificing the safety guarantees. But I think they’ve deliberatly avoided going in that direction. Ofcourse, my understanding of Rust is far from complete so it is probably that I missed some nuance… But still I wonder. It is a good learning experience though, a new way to look at things.

The article was not very readable on mobile for me but the examples seemed a bit contrived…

We call that percussive maintenance… the brick is optional.

That’s good advice, we will. Thank you.

Thankfully Microsoft is a thrustworthy partner with the users best interests in mind. /s

At home Proxmox works reall well. When our VMWare licenses expire we’ll certainly evaluate that as option.

Wasn’t really aimed at you but from the things I’ve seen I am afraid not all Windows administrators might realize that.

And probably as a security update as well.

Installing Word, on a server, running as administrator, forecefully linked to some MS account for activation… Is that really a reasonable solution in a Microsoft world? Smh.

If documentation comes as Word document there is no documentation and a huge red flag for the software.
