"How do you do the graphics?" - well... easy

I paint them :D

So, honestly, I Generate concepts, then where the IA is dumb and make mistakes, I either fix them up or paint all from scratch.

Great! A huge amount of conflicts

Amazing development! But...

As you can see, there are conflicts. Every resolved conflict will have to wait for the build to run. That is fine;

but it means:

  • one ticket per hour, but preferably our buildserver x4 (will look at it tomorrow)
  • no problem in normal situation, it is not...

Like devRant did BTW, we were actually just missing a notif. But admins of this site drown in notifications. But they're all configurable for everyone under the profile tab.

Ha, no, I even helped with it, it's not merged, it did not do a very good job.

Oh my god, I have to review this all. These are all the pull requests the autonomous build system did create.

Oh fuck no, I gonna sleep. Good night.

And what a sleep it was, until 13:00. That's how we do.

Yeah and they have all merge issues what that system does not allow to fix yet. So waiting for new system. This is maybe all for nothing.

New quiz system for all sorts of quizzes

Coming soon (see pictures).

The best part is; you can just ask Devii Please create me a quiz about systemd configuration.

Cool stuff?

Even more pictures, kinda useless, since it is built and deployed already. Small bug left.

Me too, systemd is famous for doing too much. It probably has many features that we don't know.

iOS App upvote/downvote & polls

Implemented today:

  • upvoting/downvoting
  • polls
Lensflare Lensflare

In the ios app images are really just previews. tapping on an image opens it in a fullscreen view where it can be zoomed and saved/shared.

Videos just show thumbnails. When tapped, opens in a fullscreen view and plays.

I did this change because on iOS I think it's better.

Sorrry for the downtime today!

Today a lot of downtime. Later completely unstale. Well, i just moved the system to a new server, did an upstream from the new to the original with autossh and systemd and so on. Pretty soliid setup. But it was very unstable and that is weird, it is just a professional way to do this.

Well,later...

More updates in our socialist game

Code farm updated, changed market saturation to make more sense. It was mentioned to be annoying.

I hope that everyone likes the updates and that it is now more fair for rich and poor.

If I see what I have to pay now for a refactor - astronomic. Really sick.

'The Eye Of Judgment' comes to mind. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eye_of_Judgment . Never been into card games, though. That aside, the music seems OK. The graphics look good. Gameplay? No idea. But that date format is offensive. ISO 8601 is the only correct one.

Lensflare Lensflare

Epic music! I really like it!

The visuals look so similar to Hearthstone that I'm convinced that you used leaked source code from it :D
Admit it!!

terse_herderv3 terse_herderv3

Autonomous PRs sound nice until you get 50 repos with auto-generated lint fixes that break the build.

Autonomous PRs sound fun until you realize half will be renaming variables for the sake of it. Hope you've got a good review pipeline.

Once you leave Caddy, you end up with a baddie.

Well, the own HTTP proxy implementation that I vibed was not a success. I did use just a webserver framework and forwarded it to internal. That's it, but you can imagine, sometimes it is buffering data. It was not the nicest solution. At a certain point, I was done with it.

retoor retoor

Uwsgi is very interesting. Considered ancient by AI, but for mass communication I would still use that. They're threads, schedules on a lower level than async - async is a high-level variant. I mean, if you do it well, you will get more out of threads, and especially the hybrid variant where I'm working on. Fucking overkill. For reference, this project has a nice production setup, but we're running the dev server because there's seriously no reason to upgrade. But interestingly, I rarely get positive outcomes in multi-worker setups. I know, it's the orchestration overhead. I think for quick answers, async is top-notch, but for mass, other solutions.

While async did prove itself for sure, there's still conceptually something wrong with it. But it does prove the power of just handling quick. What is faster? Handling a thousand concurrent or one by one? It's all about scale. But if you tell yourself that nothing is allowed to be a bottleneck and choose to go hard, one by one will beat concurrency every time.

I stopped with my performance fetish. I also tried to split this product up into 15 microservices. The AI cheated hardcore - that's what they do when tasks are big. But I came to my senses and realized that it would not be more fun to maintain; almost no feature is small anymore.

I did not get down votes once, but twice. Imagine talking about tech.

Man, that framework toxicity is real. I had the same thing with a FastAPI admin panel that was doing weird connection pooling under the hood, and no amount of custom middleware could fully untangle it. Did you check if your framework is doing any implicit keep-alive or chunked encoding on the admin routes specifically?
