@bajax@w0rm@p isnt it still doing that weird broken nickname-related stuff "for the sake of mentally ill users"
let people log in with whatever name and if it's a registered name, have the server change their nick in 60 seconds after they fail to ident to nickserv, simple as.
@vulonkaaz@dcc@p@mint Lighttpd is, well, very lightweight and I like the way it handles CGI scripts. It always feels like nginx treats CGI as second class citizens. I use nginx now because nginx won but Lighttpd config files feel more natural to me, maybe it would be the right choice today for Nintendo wii or raspi idk
@vulonkaaz@dcc@p@mint Instead of having lots of php/pl/etc files now, my little web apps have their own servers, and using nginx to reverse proxy is probably not worse than doing it with Lighttpd
Nginx working with letsencrypt easily via plug in is nice

@p@jae@fluttersh@jeremiah > I write some stuff and I don't know why I'm writing it the way I'm writing it until I've finished writing it.
I rarely actively plan for software; I'll decide I want to write some code and then go off and do other stuff (go to gym, play video games, walk, whatever) and my mind will suddenly tell me "hey go type this into the computer we figured this out"
back in my public school days I was a math prodigy ; same issue, I would mostly solve math problems by intuition rather than step by step calculation , get >95% on all exams without having to actively think or "show work" but just trusting my gut , teachers would ask me how I solved problems and I could only answer "idk I just know"
one reason why I am a hobby programmer instead of corporate drone I guess
I imagine how the code "works" by imagining it like a map with paths and tunnels , after spending long enough imagining it like a 2d/3d map I can just type out the code without having to think and it works on the first try
maybe guys who go to code school are used to drawing flowcharts and working off that, idk, i never went to code school, but having a drink or two in me helps me get flexible about first imagining "how the code should work" and then makes bridging the gap between "how it should work" and "what it is" painless and effortless
This is also why weed is not useful for me as a programming aid, get too distracted to build up mental models and then too distracted to reproduce them in the text editor
