Seems like they meant spines to me? As in those little spikey spines pointing backwards down the esophagus?

Are you objectifying me??

Most people pay for that privilege

Definitely describes my switch back in 2008 when canonical still sent out Ubuntu CDs for free in the mail. We had dial up so it was faster for them to mail me a CD than to try and download the image myself.

There aren't any immediate drop in replacements that won't require some work, but there is Home Assistant Voice - It just requires that you also have a Home Assistant server setup, which is the more labor intensive part. It's not hard, just a lot to learn.

Truly in a clbottom of its own

I accidentally a word in the original comment, it was supposed to say they don't use *centralized databases. Instead it said I'm a moron lmao.

Whoops, I flubbed that message hard and didn't catch it at the time: Meant to say "don't use centralized databases." They definitely use databases lmao. No idea how I screwed that message up so hard. I blame ADHD for not proofreading.

Just so we're on the same page, let me be more specific. I'm saying the individuals in the article were making terrible decisions. Lots of them.

I am also saying that UUIDs are good primary keys for very specific purposes: Large, distributed systems that handle large amounts of small data, powered by databases like Cassandra that are designed to handle millions of record insertions per hour across several hundred nodes, to the point where inserts are very likely to happen at the exact same time on two different replicas of the same schema.

Hope that makes more sense than my previous flub. lol

The solution for me is that I run Nextcloud on a Kubernetes cluster and pin a container version. Then every few months I update that version in my deployment yaml to the latest one I want to run, and run kubectl apply -f nextcloud.yml and it just does its thing. Never given me any real trouble.

TIL a new word. Thanks, stranger! 🙂

Neither, I've written plenty of Python and I know how useful it can be. However, as someone who is neurospicy, I find languages that have semantically l significant white space to be frustrating to read.

Sure, there are tools to help with it. Sure, they help. But they don't replace how much more useful curly braces are at defining scope.

There's not currently a way to copy your subscriptions across from one instance to another, so if you want to instance hop, you have to go resubscribe to all your communities manually.

Also if you have redundant accounts for when an instance is having trouble (I had errors reaching programming.dev just last night), it seems like you can run this periodically and keep them in sync with each other
