Lightning rods are already phallic, why do they put a cock on top of it? That's so on the nose.

@lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me Man pages barely do real troff, like diversions, footnotes and custom macros and stuff

Plan 9 barely counts as alive

@lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me Strike that off the list and replace it with troff

Though Gogs was an open-source project, its repository was under the control of a single maintainer, limiting the amount of input and speed with which the community could influence the development. Frustrated by this, the Gitea developers began Gitea as a fork of Gogs in November 2016 and established a community-driven model for its development.

In October 2022, the company Gitea Limited was formed by [the founder] to offer paid services. The shift away from a community/non-profit ownership model received some resistance which led to the Forgejo software fork of Gitea.Wait, did they actually come full circle? That's hilarious

This is deeply dissatisfying. So apparently, using ports in the IANA dynamic/private port range (49152-65535) for services can lead to a self-connection issue as the kernel picks an ephermeral port and that happens to be a listen port, leading to a collision (https://sgros.blogspot.com/2013/08/tcp-client-self-connect.html). At the same time, IANA is allowed to register whatever for ports 0 through 49151. Some operating systems don't actually use the whole dynamic/private port range, leaving you with leeway. Windows, however, will just straight up fucking yoink the entire range 49152 through 65535 for ephemeral port usage (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/networking/default-dynamic-port-range-tcpip-chang).

If you need a throwaway port (e.g. for reverse proxying something or internal services), you thus have to use something in the range IANA can register, basically breaking the namespace promises you're supposed to make. Either you break the system's rules or break IANA rules. :haggard:

Should you use UNIX domain sockets instead? Yes. Does everything support that? No.

@chjara@akko.wtf You will not have a good time. I hope you like programming with pen and paper.

I get it. You're tired of Discord eating everything. So am I. But please take a look at the tons of small businesses surviving with no more and no less than a Facebook page. Convenience trumps everything.

@kaia@brotka.st I'll have you know that I'm not so predictable

There's none. No sponsor. Nobody pays me to make these posts. It's sad.

Let me tell you about today's sponsor

The hardest thing about dealing with a problem you're not familiar with is figuring out which papers or books are the standard works everybody expect you to know
