OK, if anyone sees anything from this person: Ra (Freyja) (it/its)𒀭𒈹𒍠𒊩 (@[email protected]) regarding #ThriveMessenger he is just trying to find excuses to discredit me and my fellow devs work. He is just a guy that thinks that he knows it all and thinks that we should go overboard with our local dev environment, AKA our own computers that we are git pulling and doing the coding on, not just the server the application is hosted on. Like dude, no one goes out their way to do TLS shit on their home computers.
@alexchapman Uh... This is most definitely wrong. Lmfao. Yes, people do TLS on their dev computers. It's called having a dev certificate. It's self-signed, yo ushould perhaps learn about what your talking about before you criticise it.
@draeand But I don't open ports like a lot of others do, and this freya person was acting like not doing that is the worst thing, like literally, if I had ports open then yeah, but when editing code locally and then git pushing its not needed.
@alexchapman So what? TLS is always something you should be testing locally. Especially if your using a protocol which makes TLS a requirement. I know at least one protocol that requires TLS as a part of the protocol, it isn't an optional thing you can turn off
@draeand Yeah, when you're running shit on a server, but if you're just running tests before pushing changes to the VPS and stuff then yeah, this guy was basically trying to discredit me all because my windows machine, which doesn't have ports open, doesn't host any shit that is supposed to be on a VPS or other machine, doesn't have the SSL shit set up. I'm not the only one that doesn't go that far, a lot of people don't bother, because its not a requirement to write code and run tests.
@alexchapman Do you have any evidence that so many people just don't do that? Because I would say that's very specific on what it is your developing
@draeand Well I wouldn't be surprised, because doing that on Windows means messing with extra stuff instead of developing.
@alexchapman Uh no it doesn't? Have you ever heard of the openssl command line tool? Using self-signed certs, even system-wide, is not a non-trivial thing to do on pretty much any operating system
