Working on this: https://www.prisonlegacy.com - Twenty-six years ago, a small Spanish studio shipped the most unusual PC MMO ever made: a maximum-security prison where every player…

And you know it because you're forced to use windows somewhere?

Love the downvotes ;P

Nah, postgres is overhyped, MariaDB is enough and recently: https://mariadb.org/mariadb-vs-postgresql-understanding-the-... >

IMAP email parser for a ticket-like program. Even with abstractions and libraries, email can be such a pita...

I like when projects like this mention other projects. "Phinx" (PHP) has been a breeze to work with for database migrations for years now, and handles more than my team needs. Mean…

Indeed, made some preliminary tests under RHEL 9 (Rocky, etc) for example and if you're used to compile HAProxy from sources to use specific OpenSSL versions, testing "aws-lc" is f…

Agree. But you need confidence on being able to debug / log / fix / revert, so having a strong knowledge of some of the parts is mandatory (i.e. server if it's web-dev, etc).

My experience: coming from programming in C, then doing web-scripting with Perl, then PHP 4 through 5, 7 and 8 versions, it's been delightful. Big improvements in speed, ecosystem,…

Sorry but your example shows that you know Python better than PHP.

Same here, PasswordAuthentication is globally No, but I always hold an special username for emergencies which is the only user allowed to login via password (easy at sshd_config fi…

Same here, gource did help to visualize a complete revamp / refactor of a software, from the current mess by that time, to the final, pratically complete rewrite it was (through a …

Well, in my particular experience with juniors, it's astonishing the so many ways they have to make any code run slower than it has to be (besides the network and database queries)…

I don't think that tools like ReaR (Relax and Recover) would agree with retiring ISOs..

Same here on using lsyncd and restic. Curious about the LVM+rsync method for nightly? My two cents: ReaR (Relax and Recover) for Linux for raw moving servers has saved me a couple …

>Skip low level and go as high as you can. Ditch C, assembly, hardware. Take python, ruby, js. Never touched C++ cause it’s awful? Good. In my personal experience, I think that hav…

Come to Spain. We haven't everything, but our optic fibers and internet plans are top notch ;P

Those comments are nice to read. I tried, but my coworkers are too "young" or from other generation, I guess. The response [about simply buying a book] was "Oh, another person said…

Same here, we've been using HAProxy for years now and only gets to improve

At my office I'm one of the more valuable employees, being diabetic type 1 or not, and my managers know that :)

Yep, I acquired the habit to write var names like "cur_thing" for "current thing", you know.

Interesting. Just for sharing, for backup on Linux I've been using rsnapshot, restic (which accepts Rclone as interface) and ReaR (Relax and Recover) for full linux recovery; on Wi…

Ummm no, but just to give credit, I'm using lighttpd for production for years now and happy with latest patches and stuff (supports HTTP/2 and several improvements over time), give…

As others have commented, my team at work use SVN because it's what somebody is confident to manage with svn+ssh protocol and want to keep it internal. Some projects use a "release…
