I am fucking Swift and I built your applicaiton in ./.build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/debug/grokii.product/ or something similiar. What a joke.

Let's hope that the DevRantSDK lib that i'm using is worth something.

Apprently @Lensflare is very attractive and looks like swoden, the ultimate chad. Fucking germans genes, so unfair.

"Open with..." is still the dumbest fucking thing that Microsoft can't get right in Windows. Opening a .webp file requires me to google the path of the Photos app in order to find it since a "quick look" feature is still not available like on Mac and Windows doesn't understand anything. I work in tech but how the f*ck are e.g. the elderly supposed to know what to do just to view a f*cking picture?? Are they supposed to be browsing the entire file structure on the system or alternatively "search for an app" in the app store?

@discord How can I prove that I am a real person instead of a drone? What a headache inducing authentication, it has been verified over 30 times and seems to be stuck in an infinite loop.

Hey retoor, did '/dr.mentions.xml' stop working or something?
I (retroactively) noticed that I haven't been getting desktop notifications lately, thought the script broke at first, but then looked at the RSS feed, and the last entries are from 16/12 in the evening

testing from yuris client...

Corporate Windows group police disables customer wallpaper. You get the gray corporate logo so you know you're in hell, and that's it.

But if you replace the corporate "TranscodedWallpaper" file in your profile and call `SystemParametersInfo()` it will update your wallpaper. I made a Powershell script to update my wallpaper.

It stopped working though. Add-Type which gave me access to the win32 function I needed in user32.dll now trigger a FalconSensor virus protection.

...and the wallpaper has been stuck on a photo of an ex-girlfriend who I loathe that I took years ago in Croatia. Why did I even keep this in my wallpaper rotation folder?! Oh god ... I'm in fucking hell.

Working is terrible. You have to do stuff and stuff. And when you're done, you have to do more stuff. It's kinda stupid huh.

So once day I just quitted with it and was like, oh, that's nice.

You should try it too!

I found what I'm gonna eat in Aid el Kabir : Wordpress and Elementor.

I'm gonna edhba7 the shit out of them.
Nuke em.

I'm working on a website someone made, for ~2k euros, thats just a yt tutorial.
And it sucks. Elementor.
Wordpress.
The good news is it works out of the box (yes!) for dummies, like the _commercial_ that inputs new books, promotion codes, etc...

btw check this awesome page https://3dgoose.neocities.org/EEEEE...

It is 3:20AM.

Introducing: The first release of youRant (pronounced 'Your Rant', not 'You Rant'), and in case you missed my previous posts - it's an unofficial third party devRant Android client. The MVP version is done, you can scroll the feed, view rants(& comments), you can log in, and you can post rants and comments. That is the sum all of what you can do as of now, but I consider that to be the absolute minimal set of features to use devRant in any capacity.

The app uses dr.molodetz.nl for api calls (because of the cerificate expiry).
Authentication tokens(for login) are stored encrypted, so even though the app is in alpha the tokens are stored securely so at least from that POV there's no need to worry.

The app can be downloaded from: https://github.com/yuriKhordal/... - There is an APK in the Releases page, and there are some pictures (if you want to look at the progress but don't want to use something is such early stages) in the Readme. I have no clue how to publish shit on Google Play, so currently the github is the only source for installing the app.

Fun fact: This post was made from the app :D

I think I messed up...
I am reorganizing all of our code into aproppiately mantained repos, and I've been using submodules.
While I was creating repos, I noticed the option to use SHA256. I thought it could be interesting to try in some low-stakes, uninteresting repos (specifically, 2).
So now I gotta add one of those as a submodule to another repo. Of course, parent repo uses SHA1. And now I find out I can't...
It adds them, but thinks they've been modified. Expected hash mismatches checkout hash, because one of those got truncated... so I am left with those "modified" marks on "git status" permanently...
So, I screwed up? I thought this was possible. Bummer.

Today I learned that programming isn’t about writing code.

It’s about questioning your entire existence because your code worked yesterday and doesn’t work today… and you changed NOTHING.

You stare at the screen.
You re-run it.
You Google the same error for the 100th time.

Then suddenly it works.

You don’t know why.
You don’t touch anything.
You’re scared to breathe.

Being a developer is basically living in fear of your own code.

I am enthusiastically waiting for Friday to come around these days.

I don't know if my life's heading in the right direction.

I didn’t plan to build another tool.

It started as one of those “I’ll just do it manually, it’s only a few files” moments.
You know how that ends.

I had a bunch of Markdown docs — notes, drafts, random ideas — and someone asked for them in Word format.
Copy–paste broke formatting.
Export plugins were either bloated, paid, or tried to do way too much.

So I spent an evening hacking together a tiny converter.
No accounts.
No uploads stored.
Just Markdown → Word → done.

At first it was “just for me”.
Then a friend used it.
Then another one.
Then I realized I was opening my own site more than Google Docs.

Now it lives here: markdown-to-word.online

I don’t promote it. I don’t track users.
It just… exists. Like a quiet side project that solved a very specific annoyance.

Funny how the smallest tools are the ones you end up using every week.

Anyway, back to ignoring feature requests I never asked for 😅

fuck u wordpress

Life update:

- Got a job. Will start in Jan. I lost my other contract in september, so it's almost 3 months of stress. I really have to find a way to diversify income. 2025 will be the year of me finding a sidegig.

- I needed a better sound to mix my album, so I went to the pawnshop and bought a NAD amplifier and 2 ITT speaker cabinet. I think the amp is from the 80ies and the speaker are from the 70. Danish.

- My deskie suffered a catastrophic harddrive damage. I could exfiltrate all the data but the bios diag is failing so I will go buy another one

Merry christmas

Couldn't sleep, made AI models play blackjack: https://devrant.molodetz.nl/preview...

Let's see if the smartest wins. I'll let you know.

Thi game does 24 req/s minute: https://static.molodetz.nl/rp.cgi/... do ten different models. Could make it async to speed things up but the models are very rate limited. Don't want to hit those.

While worked for years for a hosting provision platform, I still had the question, what does it mean to have an expired certificate?

After reading, big meh. Mitm, ughz, that was always possible. On top of that everyone uses cloudflare and includes the nsa by default making ssl kinda useless anyway.

One of my minions gave his 2 weeks notice. They grow up so fast 🥲

I really dislike C#'s naming convention of UpperCamelCase public fields but I also don't want to change it for my own projects. After all, when in Rome do as the Romans do and all that

Arghh, I hate decisions ;~;
