Outsourcing company offered me a 6 month contract....
The freelancing is pretty slow right now so I basically have to take it. Only thing is the interview was so long ago I can't remember where or who the client is2 -
My server is under heavy attack, many IP's.
Here's a part of requests per ip all in same range:
```
509: 47.82.11.166
509: 193.41.206.202
512: 47.82.11.183
521: 47.82.10.30
548: 47.82.11.8
553: 47.82.11.177
559: 47.82.11.230
606: 47.82.11.41
659: 47.82.11.249
675: 47.82.10.139
684: 136.243.228.177
700: 47.82.11.27
865: 85.25.210.70
```
Al together, but my server died for a second. I thought, how is that possible? All my request limiters gone somehow. I have no idea how that's possible. Implemented a few days ago and tested it.
Meh, server is handling quite well, i have time to write this rant before to fix it. But dammit. I tested it together with people on Snek. I'm flabbergasted.
Fucking scriptkiddies. YOu were lucky.. Somehow..
Will disable ping, that's where the issues start with i guess.15 -
I hate cpp to rust bindings
All my homies hate cpp to rust bindings
(I totally didn't spend 2 weeks on this shit and it still doesn't work I want to die)14 -
Why yes we have these nine types of transactions mocked. See? The factories make CSV data just like we get in those gigantic CSV files every day that are like ultra-important or whatever.
Wait, you want to actually use the data? to create records? Like build a record like we do in the code? Nonononono that won’t work! Why? Why!? You want us to actually MOCK the data, like make it look real AND MAKE IT PASS VALIDATION? Are you CRAZY!? THERES LIKE THIRTY COLUMNS THERE! No way. No no no way. If you want to do that, you’re on your own. But make sure you don’t break anything with your “improvements” or it’s on you.
Also, all of this is going away soon, so make sure you don’t do anything unnecessary, like mocking all that data. (It’s been “going away” for well over a year now…)

Every once in a while the volume for my default audio output decides to max out on login. How this can happen is apparently a mystery. Other than its a shitty OS called Windows 11. Windows 10 never did this shit, or if it did it was fixed quickly and never did it again. So there is always a non-zero chance of logging into windows and getting ear raped if you have headphones when playing any audio.
Enter SetVol.exe. Apparently open source and can be run in a batch script. So now I have this kludge of every time I login a task is run to call my bat file to fix this garbage. This is the worst case of quality control I have seen in any supported product. Not a single MS helper in any channel online has had a good fix for this. This is a fundamental design issue in how they handle volume settings. Absolute garbage.
Everyone from ma and pa to audio engineers are screaming about this. How? How does it get this bad?5 -
So I am thinking about doing joke magical effects in a game. I see memes online about "testicular torsion" as a joke magic spell. Which on its own would be hilarious. Then I thought there needs to be a boss or class of characters that are immune even though they are dudes.
So I got this image of a chad boss you are fighting. You decide to cast testicular torsion on him. He makes a grunting noise and seems to be invigorated by the spell. Even some of his stats improve.
Then he says, "Jokes on you! I am into that shit!"11 -
Anyone else sick of repetitive talking
Bullshit excuses
And civilization history and technology and progress in our economic system being held hostage by fucking whacked out psychos?
Christ I sure am15 -
Fuck SAP!
I honestly can’t understand how anyone considers SAP a good ERP software. Either they’re brain-dead, or they actually enjoy the mind-numbing, repetitive work that turns them into the top rat in the race. AAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!
It’s an inconsistent mess—counterintuitive, clunky, and filled with absurd navigation and unnecessarily complicated database links.
And when people praise it like it’s some divine gift to humanity, I can’t help but wonder just how miserable their real lives must be.
There are some list views where you get to something you want, if there is some incomplete data in the list.
There’s a "POSITION" button to help you find what you need—but not everywhere.
Some fields require you to save at a certain step, while others don’t, leaving you to realize halfway through the next step that you forgot to save something.
Want to cancel halfway through? Too bad. You’re stuck unless you TCode your way out—because YOU HAVEN’T FILLED ALL THE FIELDS.
Every option, and its cousin, has a separate TCode.
Even for a simple concept, you need to memorize five different TCodes, create five similar-sounding tables, link them together, and at some point, connect one of them to company data—even if there’s only one company.
Why is it so complicated?! And don’t tell me “it has a lot of modules”—that’s not an excuse. Every menu is complicated on its own.
Instead of designing a logical workflow, they just wing it, throwing in sub-options as they go, then expect the end user to figure out how to link everything together.
Why not take a top-down approach—link all company-related data in one place while still allowing independent options to be linked elsewhere if needed?
I mean, you can’t even use Ctrl+Backspace to delete a word. The UI is that fragile.
And then I remember—it’s German software. That kinda explains it.
Speaking of which, the TCodes—the backbone of the system—are still based on German, even though the entire software is in English.
So the rest of the world is stuck trying to memorize bullshit codes with no logical reference.
FUCK ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS THIS SHIT.6 -
My god why are all parser combinator libraries in Rust so bad??
Is it too much to ask for to parse a normal ass programming language with error recovery???? That's like 99.99% of what people need a parsing library for and somehow error recovery is always some weird after thought bandaged on after the fact
For fucks sake, I'm finally getting over the urge to reinvent the wheel all the time, but now all the libraries suck ass so I have to. Arrghh!20 -
I want a game world that has magic, tech, and rpg elements. Single player. Maybe some modern world too.
I have ideas where it starts medieval and introduces magic and tech due to parallel worlds/civilizations. I would link magic and tech at a base level so they interact. It would also be a lot of bullshit fiction to make this happen.
I thought about starting in modern world that makes contact to parallel worlds and this starts chain reactions of conflict inter-dimensionally. That would allow for anything to go at that point.
Anyway, just posting my thoughts. In the end I will rely heavily on player suspension of disbelief. They will either accept my bullshit or play something else.
Welcome to my fucked up world bitches!11 -
So I have heard that some neuroscientists think brain function might be operating on a quantum level. I also know we are inching closer to quantum computing.
Does this mean as these two sciences converge we may develop consciousness transfer when they do?8 -
It's been a while since I've said it

Presenting your work and disabling all breakpoints sometimes feels like a driving license test but the brakes are disabled. Just pray nothing unexpected happens.5

record was introduced in java 14 but this was my first time seeing it
Am I clown who has never encountered it and should be reading about new features in new versions, or am I excused because I don't make version decisions and for being trash at my job.13
