by coffeeofdoom in software on mar 28, 2023

I used to be opposed to static types but Javascript alone convinced me they are a beneficial evil.

Employee claims she can't use Microsoft Windows for "Religious Reasons"

by coffeeofdoom in general on mar 28, 2023

Perfectly understandable.

I am required to use Windows 10 for work, but it is unfortunately against my religion (Nixifarian) to do so. To repent for my sins I kneel before a small statue of Richard Stallman and chant "In Linus we trust, please Father ...

argue about databases

by coffeeofdoom in software on mar 22, 2023

Non-meme question for the forum.

I'm looking for opinions/reviews/recommendations for an IDE for use with a large SQL Server codebase in a professional environment. SQL Server 13.0.5, but the primary database runs in 2008 Compatibility Mode. I currently ...

silicon valley bank

One of my good friends is CTO of a late-stage startup and spent the entire weekend (said he got 4 hours sleep) dealing with the fallout of this debacle. He said if the FDIC had not stepped in promptly their company would likely have ceased to exist.

Media Servers - Plex/Jellyfin/Emby

by coffeeofdoom in software on mar 17, 2023

My unRaid setup. The flow for media is: Requesterr (Discord bot because wife/roommate can't figure out the web interface) > Radarr/Sonarr <> Jackett > Deluge > Plex > Bazarr for subtitles (obscure anime). I also run a bunch of other applications via Docker ...

quoting vrdvn:

Any thing other than google/outlook is waste of time, imagine wasting money on email providers when you can get the same for literally free

Id prefer preview personally, since thats the "safer" option.

TUI-like theme

by coffeeofdoom in community feedback on mar 12, 2023

Not the same as c1's theme, those green boxes look fantastic and I love the font colors, but this is what my basement community looks like. I set up a custom site profile using Firefox's DarkReader extension. I believe Chrome has the same extension, ...

Allow posting from the preview page

by coffeeofdoom in community feedback on mar 12, 2023

When you are creating a new post/reply and hit the "preview" button it shows what the post will look like, but you have to hit "edit" to go back and then hit "create" to actually send your post. It would be really nice if we could create the post directly ...

photoshop request thread

by coffeeofdoom in art and ish on mar 12, 2023

Not a massive project, but I did just finish this new Discord avatar. It's still rough, but looks good enough at small sizes. I use GIMP for my editor.

What are you working on? V1

by coffeeofdoom in software on mar 12, 2023

I've been wanting a little wall mounted display, either e-paper or a no backlight screen for a while now. Mostly as a clock/calendar/display art. I'd also like a way to sync desktop notifications to it so I can see new emails/teams + discord messages on ...

argue about databases

by coffeeofdoom in software on mar 9, 2023

quoting mydriasis:

we need an excel IDE.

Brilliant idea! JetBrains ExCharm incoming. Whenever I need to do any large amount of data processing involving Excel I just do it in Python and use OpenPyXL.

argue about databases

by coffeeofdoom in software on mar 8, 2023

The thing with excel is that if there are macros or logic in any significant quantity it makes the document very hard for an outsider (as in not the person(s) who made it) to decipher what is ...

<quoting=mydriasis postID=570 threadID=83>Writing raw SQL functions / procedures is enough to make me weep, though I understand why it needs to be done. Something I'm even struggling with right now is the lack of tooling for managing functions and procedures ...

argue about databases

by coffeeofdoom in software on feb 28, 2023

I'm honestly surprised to see you guys praising postgres, I had a rage inducing experience trying to set it up/learn pl/pgsql for a personal project, which is literally what prompted me to make this thread. What do you like about it?

I'm a T-sql dev at ...

argue about databases

by coffeeofdoom in software on feb 27, 2023

Looking for opinions on databases, no matter how dramatic they are. I'm rating SQL dialects, since that's what I know most. Convince me I'm wrong (or agree with me and bond over mutual Oracle hatred). Tell me about non-SQL databases that you feel passionate ...
