Because music charts are valuable because the music industry is valuable? They give me free access to their API and they get to scrape the data. It's not incriminating data, it's not GPS data. It is, at best, an unreliable indicator of when I am awake.
I'm not disagreeing, but who can stand up against corporate bullying? The government. Make the government do it. The corporate world gets away with it because the politicians turn a blind eye because they're not held accountable because not enough people stand together. People have bled for the rights that "privileged" people have, it didn't come free.
.bashrc in your home folder is pretty universal. It's basically just stuff that gets run when you log into your shell, very useful. Set up some aliases and bash customization.
Using SQLite seems to have solved it, but it's still bogged down by disk IO speeds. The only way I can induce errors right now is with benchmark tools, and that'll be solved if I use an in-memory DB hopefully.
Because now I have to compile rust and cross-compiling from Windows to Linux is a mess I don't wanna deal with. I don't want to spin up a whole container just to compile for Linux.
At any rate, the problem is solved and I'm just optimizing it for speed now, which is entirely disk IO so I'm converting it to using an in-memory DB and then it'll be fast enough to handle a thousand times more traffic than I've ever gotten.
I'm not a programmer, I'm just a photographer who doesn't wanna deal with chunky gallery systems.
PHP is a very clunky language, however it slots right into Apache with no fuzz and that's very important. My Apache container needs to be as squeaky clean as possible. Rust and Python are not clean and JS doesn't have the functionality I need without installing more stuff anyway.
This is the only real issue I've ever had with PHP and it seems to have come down to me using a .txt file for a database and praying the underlying filesystem would just deal with it. It's been swapped for SQLite and none of the counters were reset overnight. Presumably that was the issue, and is thus not the fault of PHP.
The day my government arrests me for listening to furry speedcore is the day I'll eat my socks, man
