Life's an array of arrays. 101010 exactly.
Philosophy & Programming. I love coding, comic-books (and no-comic books), films and (dark and loud mostly) music. I suck at all of this. <3

I always miss my / workflow when I boot into to do some work.
I have a couple of keyboard shortcuts on which makes working a lot easier. Also, rofi... enough said.
sometimes feels really clunky to handle.
Well, life I suppose 😂

@jhx When I used Windows at work, I had 3 monitors and sometimes I felt I needed more. With Sway I can comfortably work on my laptop and never feel the need for an extra screen. Plus... UNIX(-like) shell. <3

@jhx The good part from Xfce, for someone like me who is pretty used to tiling WMs, is that it's simple enough and lets you work pretty much with workspaces and keyboard shortcuts. I just have to manually tile the windows and I'm ready to go with Xfce! :D

This morning I received a call to have a job interview this evening, dev position, in a big enterprise ("big" according to my humble standards; ~200 people in the IT department I've been told, a noticeable change from being just 2 developers in my former job). Stakes are high and probabilities are low, but having another chance when everything seems to be going south is nice. :)

@aral Thank you so much! <3 I think that I'll save the "but small web and digital ethics rules!" past the interview, but you just wait and see. XD

never let me down. The stability and usability really is from another world.
You can throw any workflow at it and it will not stutter, hang or crash.
Just the right thing for any Sysadmin doing work. 🙂

Combine this with or any and you got a match made in heaven 😎

@jhx @jloc0 Same for Xfce on Sid, that's my choice too. It's really boring... As in, you don't have any surprises, it just keeps working as intended. :)

Okay, this is very very embarrassing.

I lost my disk password. The hand written password does no longer work. I don't know why...

I have a backup, but that disk is also crypted.
All my passwords are in a keepass database file.

This is on the cryted disk and backup.

I also have a backup on my .box nas. But the password is ... In the manager.

I have a Fritz VPN to my Fritz box stored on my android phone.

Any recommendation on how to get back acces to the password manager database file?

Help is very welcome.

I fear I need to contact some company and pay Monet to get back my access :(

UPDATE: I could solve the issue by decrypting my very bad handwriting. And I'll now put back my keepass file onto a server a a level of backup and will print out the most important passwords instead of keeping handwritten backups.

@danielsiepmann Yay. :) Very happy you solved this. :D

In the last week or so, I've noticed that mastodon.social has started hiding the profiles of basically harmless accounts, whilst leaving what are obviously pro-Putin disinfo accounts visible.

Does anyone know what's going on with the admin, and who do I talk to?

In not-unrelated news, it may finally be time for me to get off my arse and move to a smaller server. Does anyone have a good guide on how to do that as of early 2024?

@kittylyst The Mastodon docs have info into moving to a different server: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/

array, to Java
@array@fosstodon.org avatar

Back to the basics. I've started another web pet project, this time with . And I mean plain vanilla Java, with no backend or frontend frameworks. I get the utility of those when doing corporate stuff, but for a relatively simple web project, with time on my side? It more than suffices, it will likely be way lighter, and I get to see behind some of the framework's abstractions, so it's another opportunity to learn. :)

array,
@array@fosstodon.org avatar

@kittylyst I meant what I just said: "with no backend or frontend frameworks", so no Spring, React or any other of the usual suspects outside of what comes with an Eclipse Dynamic Web Project by default. :) I try to follow SOLID principles and sort of a MVC paradigm, but other than that I'm using plain old Java servlets, JSPs for views, and "vanilla" (again: no preprocessors, frameworks etc.) JS and CSS. It's a bit more work, but quite fun. :)

array,
@array@fosstodon.org avatar

@kittylyst I'm using Java 17 (Ubuntu's default JDK, if I'm not mistaken). I'm not much into the gory details, though; just launch the project and see how far can I get, having some fun and learning by doing (and reading the docs!) in the process. :) Eclipse is quite good nowadays I believe, BTW, at least for my (quite simple TBH) use cases. ;)

@eramirez I've done Laravel, Spring Boot, Express and Nuxt so far, and they are all great. But I may have an option to get a gig in a place where they don't use any, just Java. That's reason number one. Other reasons are as stated: the frameworks tend to put abstraction layers on common operations, and I'm always curious to understand what happens behind the curtains. Plus, I'm really having fun designing my own MVC with "basic" tools. :)

Anyone have a good config for coding in with in ?

I’ve got intelephense pro working but it keeps trying to reformat the default/generated laravel file formatting and it’s bugging me super bad.

array,
@array@fosstodon.org avatar

@cctechwiz @dpom Just a suggestion, but if you can disable the auto formatter, you could try to run Laravel's pint https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/pint from the command line. Works out of the box, it is quite configurable (see docs) and it does a bit more than just formatting, v. g. removing unused imports or cleaning return types in PHPDocs if declared in the function already. If you haven't, maybe give it a try and see if it suits your personal preferences. :)

array,
@array@fosstodon.org avatar

@cctechwiz @dpom You can just run it in your project's root, it will display the changes made, by default in the whole project (save the vendor folder). Then check if the formatting is OK with what you would expect from it, and if not, you can still configure it to use different formatting styles. I use this myself, and I'm quite happy with the results. I hope this is useful to you too, thank you too and happy coding! :)

Today I've learnt first hand of an enterprise with an IT staff of ~200 people stuck on a Java 6 (from... 2006!) codebase. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I guess they must be on their own, because it's been a while since it went EOL. That makes one think again on how difficult must be to migrate such huge codebases... And how difficult must be to patch it to keep the engines running on a daily basis. Sigh, computers were supposed to make everybody's life easier, but. :P

@fedops Delphi ranks quite high in the TIOBE index and it seems it's quite well maintained (by Embarcadero, if I'm correct), right? So that doesn't really seem that much worrying a priori, I believe. I've seen some job offers even here, so it must be actually used in enterprise environments... Now, if you tell me you are using some years-ago-deprecated version, then... Argh. XD Keep the secret, but I may have a chance of working with Java 6, and IDK if I'm more happy or just scared to death. :P

array,
@array@fosstodon.org avatar

@fedops Sigh... I think I know what you mean by "written by non devs". In my former job there was a 3-person team who worked on an enterprise backoffice, mostly GUI but with some scripting stuff. Someone literally can't understand what you mean by "declaring a variable", and interfacing with their API was a sh*tshow... No input validations, case insensitive and no restriction for user names, passwords saved in plain text, API URLS with spaces (trailing and between words)... Lots of fun. XD

array,
@array@fosstodon.org avatar

@fishfinger Yes, I believe that may be true. But it still sounds a bit... Scary, I mean, running officially deprecated code in mission critical production apps... But that's how it is I guess. ;)

array,
@array@fosstodon.org avatar

@fishfinger Sounds like that indeed. :) But I understand that sometimes a minimal bug can be very costly, just a couple hours downtime can translate to very big losses for some medium to big players, so I understand testing is very critical. ;)

@fishfinger Makes sense. :)

For some reason I woke up today with "When it all blows over" by Echo and the Bunnymen in my head. I haven't heard that in years.

@tulpa Early Echo were really good. I owned Ocean Rain in vinyl back in the day. And yeah, it's been a while since I last heard a full album from them, maybe it's time, now that I'm in a Lycia mood again. :)

@geraldew@fosstodon.org avatar

The next "back from travel" to-do is installing Debian on my old 32bit netbook.
It went well and now I'm in the phase of looking up how to do things in Debian that are not as apparent as they are for Xubuntu.
For example, installing gnome-system-tools to have a GUI tool for managing user accounts and groups.
Another was for the touchpad, doing a setting to have taps count as mouse clicks.
Next is: customise GDM or replace it with LightDM for clicking to select login account?

array,
@array@fosstodon.org avatar

@geraldew And for slightly better machines, MX Linux. Same Debian base, antiX-related, but a little bit easier to use and nicer, at the cost of slightly heavier footprint. ;)

array,
@array@fosstodon.org avatar

@geraldew Just for reference, I could run a Centrino, single core, 32 bits, 512 MB laptop with antiX. It could even start Firefox and browse lightweight pages, as I said it really has very low requirements and footprint and 32 bits is still supported. And of course it flies with better hardware. ;) Anyway if your machine works fine with Debian then it's perfect, Debian is plain awesome. I run Sid myself in my desktop PC with Xfce and I couldn't be happier. :)
