@menel after I kept myself calm I went back to my business trying to do it best.
My posts are just a warning for those who's too optimistic about #xmpp in general and #monal in particular.
I'm the user of Prosody where I can fix bugs by myself. If I'll ever be a user of Monal I'll still prefer to fix it by myself not interacting with those vibecoders at all. Six years of development, right? And it's still slopware. Stop ashaming #FreeSoftware
One #monal user came today: "Your chat went crazy!"
He showed me his iphone: the screen was flickering.
I checked prosody logs. Nothing.
I looked at the screen again and got what happened.
A day ago I sent three links to that user. Monal tried to get a preview but the site kicked back with antibot protection.
Instead of displaying something sane Monal seemed to retry without any delay that caused flickering.
I keep myself calm.
I keep myself calm.
I keep myself calm.
@noodle this is the point where Debian totally sucks. My condolences.
You had to install a specific version and pin it somehow (I don't know how, never did that).
Or use backups. They rescued me many times.
@lislegaard They must blow up the Moon. Isn't that all this ado is for?
And why not?
Reasons:
1. They can. Can't they?
2. It's spectacular
3. It's funny
4. It's a middle finger to the God
Never been a fan of shell scripts but suddenly I realized that's #bash I did not like.
I'm curious if #windows 1.0 was smaller or not?
Anyway, bash scripts look like a puke to me. But dash, the plain shell... Yes, the plain lean /bin/sh is amazing!
Especially since someone implemented pipefail. Not so long ago, by the way, just in 2020s.
Bash is amazing as an interactive shell. If not bash, I would still use ugly mc. But for scripting bash vs sh is like C++ vs C. Mostly unnecessary.
