I have a database question - say you have an items table and a messages table, and messages can refer to items. If someone needs to delete an item, you can't because of the foreign reference in messages.

I know you could 'soft delete' - set a status column to deleted, but what if you really need to delete, for example because the content is illegal or the user has a legal right to delete it?

@joelanman is it important to keep the messages?

Have you watched this ContraPoints video yet? I just did a watch party and I am absolutely fizzing with ideas and thoughts and feelings: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bqloPw5wp48 It’s about sex, erotica, death, lust, life, penetration, binaries, pluralities, identity, love, desiring and being desired, sadism and masochism and so much more. But above all it’s about the Twilight saga, and why those vampires sparkle.

@girlonthenet this video absolutely blew my brain

⏱️ Two minutes and three seconds later, and it's done!

That's how long it's taken to match more than 900 participants in this year's Civil Service LGBT+ mentoring programme.

Your software chops prove themselves again @jonodrew! Bravo.

@johnpeart to date, I think this is the most useful bit of software engineering I've ever done

hello fediverse, it’s the weekend in most places and I know you’re doing some nerd shit (which isn’t limited to computers!)

please share your nerdy hobby projects with me so we can all share in some wholesome dopamine harvesting ✨

things that count in my mind: computers, gardening, knitting, metalworking, flower arranging, glassblowing, felt needling, organizing, woodworking, scrapbooking, elaborate cat castle building, house DIY projects, basically anything with niche interest + skillset

any tips for getting rid of musty smell from clothes? I've tried bicarb of soda, vinegar, heated drying rack as soon as the wash is done and nothing works. I think my washing machine is cursed

jonodrew,
@jonodrew@mastodon.social avatar

@joelanman when you say you've tried bicarb, vinegar - is that to clean out the washing machine?

jonodrew,
@jonodrew@mastodon.social avatar

@joelanman if you stick your head in the drum, does the machine smell musty?

jonodrew,
@jonodrew@mastodon.social avatar

@agvbergin @joelanman agree with Ann on this, plus a 90-degree empty wash to boil out any nasties

jonodrew,
@jonodrew@mastodon.social avatar

@joelanman do they smell musty when they come out of the washer? It may be that they've become a little mouldy and, as another poster said, they may need a boil wash. If they're coming out smelling okay, they might need dried somewhere where the air circulates a bit more. I know at this time of year you don't want to be opening windows, but that might be something to try

There are two school trips on the Tube: one dressed in civvies, another in posh uniforms. I hope they break into a number from West Side Story.

University: here's ten weeks of material to help you identify spyware, malware, and other nasty bits of software that you shouldn't allow near your computer or network.

University: oh btw we're forcing you to download this software that can control your device, record your keystrokes, record your screen, and streams that data to another location.

University: but they're not the same

@Edent I wish we could force the university to use a Linux client, but they're adamant that the third party they're using simply can't do it. How did you manage to convince your lot?

Fun on the ‘Salford xyz’ Facebook group for giving things away.

‘Can I have it?’
‘Yes here’s my address’
‘Oh you’re in Salford’
‘Well yes, this is the SALFORD xyz Facebook group’
‘Oh sorry, that’s too far’

And sure, a 320km/h 2x8 carriage double deck 4 voltage 3 gauge go anywhere night train would be great

But there’s not a hope in hell you’re going to engineer or finance that

A good fleet of a few hundred 200km/h night train carriages that can run on any normal speed standard gauge line and be hauled by different locomotives depending where you run is good enough and can be built right away

@jon there's a company called "Midnight Trains" who claim they're doing this. In your opinion is it at all feasible? Have you heard of them?

What’s funny about being non-binary is that, to me, I’m the normal one. I think our whole thing just kind of works, no? You’re all just being silly about colors and stuff. We’re the main characters of gender, just admit it.

@jonodrew@mastodon.social avatar

@aegir @ryanhoulihan isn't "non-participant" exactly the same as atheist? It's still a definition that rests on participating (or not?)

jonodrew,
@jonodrew@mastodon.social avatar

@aegir @ryanhoulihan for me, I have come to accept that people will define me, in their world view, in relation to things that are important to them. But you don't have to play their game when you define yourself

Four emails from Trenitalia, all saying that my train is cancelled. And two requests to recall. Someone in that office is having a crappy day, and it's probably about to get worse.

Any friends on here know about this EU traveller rights thanks to cancellations? https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/travel/passenger-rights/rail/index_en.htm#cancelled

@jon @deadliftbear supposed to be going from Lyon to Turin at the end of the month. Tickets booked before the line was closed. Wondering if I can get the carrier to fund my new journey via Geneva...

@jon thank you! If I've already rebooked, do you happen to know if I can claim it back?

It is the year of our lord 2023 and I have been sent a tech test in Microsoft Word.

"Please add comments to the code" I am vibrating with rage that this code has been copied into a Word doc
