The "web development with Assemblers" reminded me where in 1993 I bought Visual Basic for DOS, because I found Turbo Assembler too slow to create database forms.
Then I discovered Slackware and the curses library, then X and Tcl-Tk, and scrapped VB-DOS.
The way you put it makes it sound really messed up, I never looked it that way. Web2Py looks a lot less risky, its just a straight-forward Rails-like framework.
I use it for Fabrik, https://fabrikar.com/ for years. At one point I was about to switch to Web2Py, and from the looks of it I have no choice: Fabrikar is not able to come out with support for Joomla 4.
There is another framework I was contemplating to use, instead of Fabrikar: https://saltcorn.com/ - but again, PhP, what a pain PhP has become for me.
For me, a clue-less end-user the latest PhP upgrade cycle is done breaking my Joomla 3.x. installations. I understand the argument that PhP 7.x and Joomla 3.x must go, I just do not accept it.
Whereas Web2Py just keeps ticking, no major interruption since Debian 10 when I first installed it.
I installed and used Devuan since the first release.. Webmin has nice support for it as well. I did not know that PhP is better tracked on Devuan than on Debian.
That leaves Joomla, anything you care to share about Joomla, please?
I did not write I "hate it". I made a valid point, PhP must have some "drawbacks" if the rapid upgrade cycles are warranted. As a comparison, and I am not a programmer, I do not see the same required for Python.
All I was saying I am going to avoid anything using PhP in the future, until they sync their upgrade cycles with Debian.
PhP has too many rapid rev rolls. There is noting wrong with following the Debian schedule, much of the upstream does it.
This current 7.x to 8.x is especially painful to me, and going forward I am going to prefer software not using PhP.
Sorry, I am just an end-user, my priorities are different from those who also code, using the bleeding edge, or whatever.
On the production floor where I work there are still reflow ovens with Windows NT computers with 3.5" floppies and no USB. My priorities are for machines that are off-line to keep working until end of my world.
No, I never cared to look into this. I like Hubzilla because I can hide away from ActivityPub and Fediverse and stay on the Zot network if and when I wish.
I would not be happy seeing Mastodon and others invade that space.
These are overwhelmingly women, who are political drones by nature. Much of the upheaval we see today are caused my women, who prefer to do nothing else but politicking.
Women are wrecking havoc in Western Civilization, and they are about to be on the receiving end, for a change.
Currently I am a component engineer, scrubbing PCBA BOMs against environmental regulations. My original training was in diesel-electric railway engine repair, including pneumatic / hydraulic safety and power train systems. I worked as a machinist in Tool and Die, I used to rebuild punch-presses, I was an internal web developer, an SMT/ AOI programmer. I worked in warehouse and in factories since 1989.
No hands-on experience I ever learned hurt me, and I do not really care what I need to do to make a living. I can adopt fairly well.
I love UNIX, I love manufacturing, and I love Fediverse :D
Gen Z might be over-educated and under-motivated, and I prefer to focus on the "working class", who already know what reality is all about.
I work in manufacturing, where we cannot have remote machine operators, or maintenance people using augmented reality.
Some of us has to be that guy, ruining everyone's day by reminding people that there is nothing virtual about the Milky Way Galaxy and most of the stuff in it.
Any ideas how to resurrect LUGs, and instill the love for UNIX workstation into the current generations? I do not interact with kids and college students, I let someone else do that.
This is a practical issue, and I take this fairly seriously.
I would love to use any forum to bring back Linux User Groups. However, when most people (I am not going to guess how many, lets say 51%) use mobile only.
On mobile we can "talk about Linux" but that is all. As soon as you get to the "install it yourself" you find yourself alone.
The audience of Twitter is mobile-only, and here I risk a 90% plus. I go farther, and declare that any forum with a mobile client has a user base more inclined to shoot breeze than to actually do anything.
This is just an observation, not a complaint. In my experience, any popular forum with popular mobile client is terribly "restraining" to me :D
I work in manufacturing since 1989. I self-train, I love Capitalism, I am the creator of the RON. I see a bright future with PKT.cash.Purchase your next Mini at PKTPal.com - send an email to postmaster@kane-il.us regarding the RON - and have a stupendous day!
