Don't save photos of your personal ID on your work laptop, for fuck's sake. You don't know what kind of person might have access to the data there.

I'm not saying to be inherently distrustful of your IT folks but damn you never know. And this is coming from an IT guy!

@brandon I don't trust you, you're an IT guy! So I'll store my files wherever muahahah

As a help desk employee, you'll hate your job a lot less if you have empathy for those you help.

@brandon The accountants always ask me to email them reconciliation reports. At first I thought it was some sort of permission issue where they don't have access to the reports, but I later realized they just don't know how to transfer files.

Instead of trying to teach them, I just email the reports when asked. 🤪

The idea of a literature clock just really tickles the right part of my brain: https://literature-clock.jenevoldsen.com/

TIL Skeleton Coast. This place looks fascinating and if I had the opportunity to visit I would drop everything.

@brandon You win one dozen eggs and a trip to Skeleton Coast!

But the search engines aren't paying us enough for the excerpts they show. Meanwhile in Australia it's all just the same site regurgitating the next one's content

Rustaceans: I'm having an issue nailing down a bug.

When I specify a crate using just cc = "1.0.73" in various cargo.toml files, the build fails saying that MSVC cannot be found.

However, when I clone the repo and use the same version but specifying the path:

cc = { path = "C:\Users\...." }

The build runs just fine.

I even tried specifying the path that cargo caches crates, and that also successfully builds.

I'm at a loss as to what to focus on next

@brandon It's weird.

Run cargo update to ensure cc is up to date (the repo may be latest version, your Cargo.lock may pick an old one).

If that doesn't help, here's the standard "turn it off and on again":

  • delete .cargo/registry (in your home dir), in case it got corrupted. It'll be redownloaded.

  • run rustup update and rustup default stable.

  • run cargo build -vvv to see what exactly gets built, and try to spot how good/broken builds differ.

If it's not DNS, then it's DNS, but if it's really not DNS, it's IPv6

Sooo, I was able to upload a 0px by 10000px photo and the Mastodon preview did not get cropped.... not good. I had to use the mouse on the scrollbar to actually get access to the delete button
