Oh I didn’t catch that part, that’s even better than how I understood it, thanks so much for clarifying!

This is very cool but all the machines I would use this on are headless with no GUI installed. Womp womp for me.

The only thing that will be absolutely obnoxious in the wake of his passing would be all the moral scolds in the “center” lecturing anyone celebrating. Same with all the “independents”.

I don’t know, the MAGAs who claim Trump isn’t really dead, that he went into hiding because the Illuminati were trying to “get him,” and will tell us all about their Trump/Elvis sightings near Area 51 for the next forty years will probably be pretty obnoxious, too.

No worries, I wasn’t as clear as I could have been, for sure.

MetaFilter literally used Adobe Coldfusion to put together their site and the site is still using ColdFusion as of 2025. There wasn’t “backend development” in the same way there is for projects like Lemmy, Piefed, Mastodon, and so on. MeFi is only just considering rebuilding the site from scratch since 2024 and the main head of that exploratory project has been MIA for several months now.

You’re right, it doesn’t have to mean no development, I was really just referring back to MetaFilter as an example. A site can work without updates for a long, long time, especially if the core of the site is off-the-shelf stuff like PHP, CSS, and HTML, which is what MeFi largely is made up of.

This is the answer. Pretty sure, for example, MetaFilter is running bespoke code for their forum (which means no development at all), and it’s been online since 1999.

All of this is so on the nose except the updates bit.

Sorry, mate, but if you skip an update because you don’t feel like keeping up and it’s because there’s a massive security flaw that leaves your PC up to easy compromise, that’s genuinely a bad thing.

Yeah, most times updates are just new features but if you’re not paying attention you have no idea if it’s a feature update or a security update, do you?

If only you have physical access to your computers and they’re firewalled properly sure, maybe it’s safe enough, but the vast majority of people don’t have things firewalled properly at the very least.

I don’t know, that’s the only bit that seems a bit short-sighted to me, especially when it comes to more casual users.

When you do it for work, you log what you have changed each time you make a change to try to fix it, and you log what you revert, so you can keep track of what you have tried, what worked, and what didn’t and have a clearer idea of what the solution was.

Sometimes it really does take a while to nail down though, and sometimes it isn’t entirely clear why what worked worked. Especially if you’re a junior network engineer without as much experience.

That’s amazing. I’ve got the same combination on my luggage!

“temporary” and the court won’t rule on it until after the election

on his shitty Twitter

It’s Mastodon though. They were publicly forced to admit that they used Mastodon and they’re just not federated.

I knew Wasserman Shultz would be on here without looking.

Trump: DEMOCRATS NEED TO BE HANGED!

Democrats: Yeah, fuck Bernie, AOC, and Mamdani!

Later, at the gallows…

threatening primaries and calling one opponent “weak” and “pathetic.”

Quiet, piggy.

The kind of people the old establishment fucking hire jesus christ we have such an uphill battle against these jokers.

Seriously, but a lot of machismo shit is definitely more about acting and appearing tough than actually being tough

Don’t underestimate how much machismo and acting like a tough guy matters to men in Latino cultures. That’s all the men saw and that’s all that mattered to them.

That’s the way to do it, smart planning. I’m glad you were able to make it happen even if it set you back more than you had hoped.

I only wish I had money to get in before prices bump up. 😭

Being poor sucks.

I had never heard of this so went looking. Super useful stuff here!
