For better performance, visit https://dr.molodetz.nl. The site now enables intelligent local caching of resources, with a 1-minute local cache for HTML content. It successfully proxies all external domain resources (e.g., avatars), caching them while excluding API responses to ensure notifications remain current. All resource patches are done decently using beautifulsoup, no regex shit.

It brings back the original devRant experience! Yes, avatars work again on opened threads but not on the feeds list / notification list, those are rendered by JS. Could patch that but for now out of scope.

SoldierOfCode died in the field today.
RIP jew, may satan be with you (this is common sens as jews worship satan).

Snek gives a 500. Don't know what it is but I'm nipping beer at beach. In a hour or so I'm home and will fix it. Very interesting, a 500 did not happen before I think.

ECMAScript compatibility table. Awesome. Reminds me of caniuse.

Ignore this, need to test notification mentions for youRant.

Added profile pictures finally since that was a thing that's bothering me, it makes such a huge difference.
Before and after because it won't let me add links in the post for some reason?....

(youRant)
Blyat. Actually finishing with the notifications themselves wasn't really that hard, there was less work than I thought. But instead what was hard, is god damn doing background shit in Android.
Fucking spent the entire day today (well, not wntire but something like 6h) trying ,any different ways to make the app "poll" in the background, checking the RSS for mentions, and after trying so many, fucking none of them work.
Also fuck the android docs so much. I fucking hate this platform(Android, nor dR).
So I guess no notifications in the background for now, only when in the app.
I'll do the "correct" thing and do the stupid Firebase thing, that will be for a future version tho. Ugggh, I could've been done by now if not for this stupid shit.

ever been scared to read a book?

relatedly, has a book triggered you?

excuse me why are we fighting in the middle east

originally combustion engines used distilled alcohol farmers made in their backyards... which you can make from anything that has a sugar in it

it was more efficient than gasoline

but gasoline "had won" because they undercut the price of alcohol, gasoline lobbying the government to put a tax on alcohol and the whole prohibition thing

why are we even doing green scam. alcohol making has absolutely nothing environmentally harmful on it lol. those windmills and solar panels rot and leech chemicals into the environment, and those lithium batteries are a crazy explosion and toxic cloud hazard

humans, why.

now everyone is bitching about gasoline prices and itching to uselessly go to a war instead of Canada bothering to drill up oil under our territory that could power the world's energy consumption for the next 200 years and that's just the deposits we know about and assume are finite...

I hate humans

the green scam people say ohnooo so much food is wasted at the grocery store, we must use AI to improve the logistics and never make more than the necessary food because waste is so ungreen. ok you could make it into alcohol which is a more efficient gasoline. and no need to lug an extra ton of battery weight underneath every vehicle that now has an explosion radius of 30 meters lmao

it's like we wanna die

another project I can't start and instead procrastinate, wah wah wah

... actually that didn't happen with programming projects. programming is pretty fun. like solving sudokus all the time. how am I supposed to stay motivated if I'm not frustrated?!

May all the female devRanters out there have a happy Women's Day.

What's the real use for Docker? a Docker image has the same weight as if you install the app normally (what you see no but the image in some other folder yes), that's not cool. what's its real use? you can later config it with yml files? access the Docker hub? I don't get it.

Sorry guys, but I have to say this. In Iran we are facing a lot of pain, our future is absolute darkness. The regime has killed more of our people than any foreign attack. The regime has apocalyptic thoughts and will attack Israel as soon as it builds a nuclear weapon.
Please be our voice.
Hoping for better days all over the world.

... you know the thing that kicks me most about the epstein emails

they talk way more to the point, more honestly even in their day-to-day plannings (ei being allowed to bitch that someone changes their mind a lot without getting fired), than all the corpo-speak emails and co-workers I had. that's so depressing

even pedos get better rights to expression than programmers

Uoooo seems like @dfox updated the cert!

And how the web framework is broken lol
Hopefully he's just making some upgrades and we'll be so back

Really, some entreprises are frying my nerves.
Some games and prgs require minimum hardware to be run. Normal.

But some STOP THE PROGRAM FROM EXECUTING if it doesnt match the needs.

- Cyberpunk 2077
- MS Flight Sim 2001 (ahem i meant 2020)
- Valorant
- Battlefield 2042
- Control - DX12
- DaVinci Resolve
- Autodesk
- Epic Games Store (sux btw)
... an many more

I mean lemme fry my own shit and have a bad experience !

testing from yuris client...

i finally have a clear example of the proper usage of CharGPT!

(some shit came up but ill be posting some interesting stuff this week ;P )

"To understand recursion, you must first understand recursion".

Finally learning docker. I feel like it's too good to be true.

hello world

Anyone else doing Advent of Code 2025?

So, I guess it was only me still using the old old OLD official Android client, I guess, because the certificate expired and thus, web works by allowing you to skip check, but you can't in Android.

Can anyone else confirm it's the case for them?

Oh no, devrant cert just expired...

HDOOM!
Really a good version of Doom, many gameplay improvements.
Thinking of doing my own Doom maps !

that feel when you're comforted by nobody getting back to you

I remembered my motto

"I solve problems so you don't have to"

pretty good actually

Excuse me while I go crazy with this rant.

I just don't understand what my role is as YouTuber anymore. What am I here for? Just someone who tries to milk the unemployment crisis and freak my viewers out?

I don't wish to be that kind of creator.

Jobs are a big part of me to talk about. But are there any anymore? Companies are forking over billions and billions of dollars onto AI data-centers. Who will get hired, construction people?

What's there to do anymore in tech? Is there a point of telling people that you need "human" engineers? Companies are already brain-washed into thinking that AI is the way forward.

Even if I put in months of work into building my own product, what chances do I have standing against people who will "vibe code" the same product, in a weekend, built with full of security loopholes, and parade it around as AI-first company? I don't have a shot anymore against them, do I?

Do I just become another "tech news" channel that covers every single thing happening with tech? I never wished to be that guy.

People used to say "Ai won't replace you, but someone using Ai will." Guess what, those people aren't finding jobs either.

What's the point of me talking about how to get jobs when there aren't any?

I've never felt this defeated before. I thought I could just get sponsorships and make money, but what's the point of that if I can't get people worthy content to enjoy?

It's just so over man.... I just want to die at this point.

Thank you for reading my rant. My chest feels lighter now.

you know... I've forgotten that I've seen modern warfare gore stuff and we first worlders complain about some dumb shit. d'oh

like can't afford food? lol. just normal day elsewhere

not pretty but guess it works. idealic world they told us was fake, we're a bit corrupt, a little tortured and warped, monkeys throwing things at each other rudely... but it ain't bullets (yet?)

I bought a melting neon colored skull shirt that glows in the dark 😏

the image will be complete
