AI bros: You type stuff and the robot draw.

Little me, at the beginning of the 90's: I type stuff and the robot draw.

So I ran into an unexpected and suddenly new issue with my #friendica today, it was all of a sudden killing my bin/console jetstream and claiming [Error] Invalid opcode '12' provided, knowing I had done no recent work to my #node codebase, I reached out to my hosting providers tech support, which albeit they are really amazing, they were stumped, it would appear #cloudlinux pushed an update on April 14, 2006 that was significant to the ALT-PHP 8.5 stack specifically to fix path-traversal issues and CageFS isolation for PHP-FPM, however after a few hours in which I had put my instance in full maintenance lockdown, they were still trying to figure out the issue and had to put in their own support request to cloudlinux and told me they would let me know when they have more info, so I re-engaged my instance and of course the issue is still there, so then I have to create a script that runs via cron, to get this check that jetstream is dead or alive if dead it starts it, and it runs every 60seconds because we are still experiencing the ghost kill with [Error] Invalid opcode '12' provided, I swear my instance is built with bailing wire and duct tape, but boy it sure gets up and moves like a starship, the scariest thing at the moment is, I really have no idea what I am doing, I search a little code a little, try a little, and somehow I get it going, if I ever catch on to what I am doing, I may just have to write a book, but for now, I am making a totally random post about my #fediverse adventures in #programing, with #friendica, now I am downloading a full backup of my instance along with the DB, my special crons, and a special python program I created originally to handle worker processor, then I have some light file clean up on my host server, and after I make sure everything downloaded right, I will maybe get some rest tonight, for now I am just relishing in my accomplishment of creating bridges over potholes in my server environment;

More tweaking of older #Emacs packages, this time slstats.sl: a package for looking up information about the #SecondLife grid.

slstats.el v1.11

Yet another older Emacs Lisp package that has had a tidy up. This one is slstats.el, a wee package that can be used to look up various statistics about the Second Life grid. It's mainly a wrapper around the API provided by the Second Life grid survey.

Has anyone disassembled and fully reverse engineered the TMNT NES game? I'm referring to the original with the dam level from Hell, not TMNT the Arcade Game, which came out somewhat later.

If you were in charge of reinventing BASIC for the modern era, what would you do? #BASIC #programing #askfedi
I'm looking for a modern introduction to #C. Something that is slow and steady but through. This is as much for systems programming on Linux as embedded work; I intend to do a bit of both. Any suggestions would be helpful. #programing #programinghelp #askfedi

There's also std::execution, which — if I understand correctly — contains a standard equivalent to Qt's signal/slot system?

If I understand this correctly, this is going to be good news for Qt/Plasma's performance as Qt basically reimplemented a reflection/metaprogramming system with QMetaObject.
