  1. @d2718 ooh thanks!

    I actually found a different one (rust_cgi), but yours might be better because I can (probably, for example) make an project and then have a custom executable that receives the call through CGI instead of the regular server.

    The other one already uses hyper's http library, but an outdated version, so I'm not sure how that'll play with whatever Actix expects. Since dumb_cgi is nearly nothing, I can see myself fitting it onto whatever :rust:

  2. Okay, nerds, I'm thinking about moving from #Debian to #VoidLinux ; I've daily-driven Debian for over a decade now, and mostly have no problems with it. I've just been increasingly leery of systemd, which now is rearing its ugly head (in admittedly an unexpected way) with the whole age-verification thing; runit does seem much less Lovecraftian.

    I installed Void just for the heck of it a couple of years ago on an old/underpowered netbook style laptop, and it seemed just fine, but I didn't use it much or rely on it for anything.

    I run sway as my VM with just a couple of custom programs as a sort of nod to a "desktop environment".

    Is there anybody out there who has experience with both who wants to either reassure me or scare me off? Any advice would be appreciated.

  6. WHY, #TABLEAU, WHY?!?!

    My data is not large!

    Y U TAKE FOREVER WITH EACH CLICK?!?

    Even bringing up the RIGHT CLICK MENU takes several seconds. Why? WHY?

    Y?Y?Y?Y?Y?Y?Y?

  7. For the record, I'm going to yolo #AdventOfCode with #Onyx this year. It looks pretty interesting; I really wish the standard library were documented better, though!

    #OnyxLang

  8. Looking at survey platforms. #Attest advertises on its "Pricing" page:

    >Straightforward pricing for predictable research costs

    There is not a single price on this page, and you can't get a price unless you book a demo.

    Mm hmm.

  11. CW: Mild rant involving profanity, implied browser incest, and the word "boner".

    Okay, so the Windows 11 "Native" #WebView2 requires a <meta charset ...> tag in order to get UTF-8 (even with a <!doctype html> declaration!); otherwise you get that fucking "I Can't Believe It's Not Latin-1" monstrosity responsible for a billion black rhomboids emblazoned with question marks.

    Like, I know the Windows commitment to backward compatibility is beyond zealotry, but it is THE YEAR TWO THOUSAND TWENTY FOUR OF THE COMMON ERA. When was the last time _anyone_ wanted _anything_ that wasn't UTF-8 [* see footnote]? What would it break to have the _correct_ defaults? Somebody's GeoCities site with text "exported as HTML" from 32-bit MS Word? That you're looking at with the native Win 11 webview for some reason?

    It's branded as "Microsoft Edge WebView2", which I assume means that it would only be allowed to marry Chromium in certain southern US states. So someone seems to have _actively made_ this regressive decision (as opposed to it just being an oversight due to all of MS's huge "AI" boner diverting all the blood from other departments).

    Thank you for your attention as I threw my hissy-fit.

    * You retrocomputing dweebs don't count; I'm talking about doing actual work, not reveling in obscurity for the sheer joy of it. I fully support you guys having all the EBCDIC or whatever that you want; I am sure none of you are using the Win 11 WebView for fun.

  12. Okay, Outlook, I'm signing in via the #Outlook app on my phone, and presented with some #2FA that I need to verify using...the Outlook app on my phone? Is this state-of-the-art security practice from one of the tech industry's leaders?

    #MSOutlook

  13. I recently deployed my first full stack #Gleam app at work. I wrote a blog post about it, but it just sort of came out as a laundry list of likes and dislikes, so I figured I could just list those here.

    #gleamlang #lustre

    (a thread) ▶️

  14. OMG, I can never remember the exact syntax for using array parameters in SQL I feel like it's subtly different for every language/library/RDBMS implementation combo.

    #SQL #postgres #PGO #gleamlang

  15. Is anyone else going to be at the Gov't and Public Sector #rstats conference tomorrow?

    #rstatsgov

  16. Sorry for the #lazyweb request; I've looked and come up mostly empty-handed:

    #JS peeps, are there any effective minifiers that are just a single binary and don't require node? My use case specifically is targeting the output of the #elm transpiler, if that helps or matters.

    Thanks.

    #javascript #minification

  17. So I changed the wallpaper file. It works like a fucking charm. #LiteXL never ran (or at least displayed) so smoothly on this machine before. Would recommend.

    It sure can be weird to find out where a system is robust and where it's fragile.

    4/4

  18. I've spent since 8:00 this morning tracking down a bug that turned out to be due to a misunderstanding on my part of how the #OpenXML #DotNet API class hierarchy related to the OpenXML tag hierarchy.

    I HATE OPENXML

    THE DOCUMENTATION IS BAD

    THE EXAMPLES ARE TERRIBLE

    Also XML in general is terrible.

    I have wasted more time on this project wrestling with this kafkaesque (the roach guy, not the event streamin lib) excuse for a format/API combo than anything else.

  19. With #Bandcamp becoming another victim of capitalist shortsightedness, let's remember to pour one out specifically for the fact that they took up #Cakewalk 's #Sonar software after it had been abandoned by Gibson, and released the best version of it since Sonar 4, FOR FREE.

  20. @MadMike77 You might be able to use a feature. Have your tracking operate through a function call, and in the function definition,

    ···
    [#cfg(tracking)]
    fn track(args, blah, etc) {
    // tracking logic goes here
    }

    [#cfg(not(tracking))]
    fn track(args, blah, etc) {
    // this version is a no-op
    }
    ···

  21. OKAY you guys nerd sniped the hell out of me.

    This is pretty unimpressive as web servers go (it's two separate barebones pages), but I do have a proof of concept here:

    https://alttext.fly.dev/index.html

    If you use most browsers, it will render totally normally, but if your browser sends a user-agent that starts with the string "lynx" or "elinks", it will filter the page you requested for "img" tags, run those images through an ascii-art image-to-text thingy, and replace the IMG tag with a PRE tag containing the ascii-art output (and then serve you THAT).

    Were I to expand this into something like an actual image-hosting site, it'd probably do the asciiartification on upload. But then you'd still only get the effect if you were viewing it on this server; cross-links would just serve the file normally. (You can't actually serve "text/plain" to a browser expecting some sort of image content and have it work, which is why this implementation has to process the text of the HTML file before sending it.)

    Anyway, it's possible, in a limited way!
