Sadly your situation is more common than we'd hope on Lemmy.

Avoid Virpus VPS

Figured I would hopefully save others from the annoyances I’ve had with their service. I experienced daily high packet loss to both my VPS and their website, including the control panel (greater than 50%, typically). The control panel was broken and couldn’t tell me the status of my VPS. When I asked for a root cause and fix...

PHP is probably a fine language, my issue is I suffered dealing with so many shitty applications written in php when I was still coming up through the ranks of IT.

God the number of broken WordPress installs and shitty WordPress plugins.

toastboy79 ,

That really helps explain the context for one of my favorite PHP bashes ever.

It's a great read but it should be noted that the post was written in 2012 and considered under such a context.

I stopped reading after the bullshit that is

"amphetamine the drug called speed" No it isn't you stupid dipshit, that's methamphetamine fucking do a basic Wikipedia search you stupid fuck

I suffer ADHD and Adderall (amphetamine) is a cure for alot of people who have it. Calling it the street name of an illicit drug makes treatment infinitely harder for other people who suffer it.

While the treatment doesn't work for me (high blood pressure and naturally easily agitated), if I don't stand up and say 'hey that ain't fucking right!' then I haven't done a god damn thing to help my fellow ADHD kid and that don't sit right with me.

An ignorance of chemistry and science is nothing to be proud of, it's how we end up with a group of religious dipshits forcing their beliefs on people and restricting people's reproductive rights. Try opening a book instead of the TV next time, maybe you'll learn something.

toastboy79 ,

I maintain the only reason it has that street name is due to ignorance of the difference between Adderall and meth. Wasn't too long ago I was listen to conspiracy theorists say it was the same thing based on some bullshit they heard.

toastboy79 ,

whatever you say conversative enabler

toastboy79 ,

For those wondering what WIRED means, it means that for the effective time of the drug in our systems we don't have 5 million conflicting thoughts in our heads and for the first time in our lives we can focus on a task, remember tiny details, not run into various obstacles, and a myriad of other tasks that people without ADHD have never struggled with.

In short, for the 4 hours that pill is in our system and working, we can experience being fucking normal and not a gigantic mess struggling to juggle everything life needs from us.

toastboy79 ,

I could see that, but I would also have to ask 'what exactly do we gain by having access to these tools when we aren't home?'

I used to try to do all of that but I started to realize, I spend too much time dealing with broken shit. Coming to the mindset of if I'm not home and it doesn't work then oh well has been one hell of a stress relief for me

toastboy79 ,

That's a fair position, but let me ask. Are you donating to Mozilla on a monthly basis?

toastboy79 ,

Hell yeah man, carry on then. Nice to meet someone who walks the walk while talking the talk

toastboy79 ,

I would like to inform you that the mental thought of this was strong enough that I'm consciously suppressing my retch reaction

toastboy79 ,

I don't think you understand just how stupid my fellow country members are. We literally say "hey to prevent getting yourself and others sick, you should do these steps" making it a suggestion of reasonable things.

the response "my freedoms are being trampled". I fucking wish they actually were.

toastboy79 , (edited )

edit: this was an odd double post.

toastboy79 ,

That would be some really cool data to view "how stubborn are the attitudes in different countries" and "how many personalities are stubborn in different countries"

toastboy79 ,

true true, that's an excellent term for it. If only we could somehow assess it with metrics and data

toastboy79 ,

why was this AI generated?

proof: check out dude's hands.

toastboy79 ,

nah, homie has more of a tan than see does. Zoom in a bit, you'll see we've got good ole Johnny 20 fingers.

update, far side absolutely both sets of hands. Hers are on top and quite pale, his hand is below her's. But the near side, that ain't no kinda hand I've ever seen.

toastboy79 ,

The original one maybe but this ain't it chief. Plus it's pretty easy toake images look old.

toastboy79 ,

you know, I'll admit I was wrong. Glad Cunningham's law still works

toastboy79 ,

Or https://xkcd.com/1053/

maybe let's not assume someone's age like an ass and instead celebrate getting to teach someone something new to them.

toastboy79 ,

I think it's the compression subjects and shadows but yeah appreciated

toastboy79 ,

That's a fair take, put yourself in that timeframe. WW2 just ended, you're one of the world leaders and you learned all about the "final solution".

what do you do? how do you prevent another genocide of the Jews?

toastboy79 ,

Bit of an idealistic answer but I like it.

Points for consideration, there were a handful of ships full of Jews during WW2 seeking asylum. It's widely believed that world leaders knew of or suspected that the Holocaust was murdering Jews around the time those boats were rejected for asylum.

Additionally, even after people knew the details of the Holocaust people still didn't really like Jews.

how would you account for those points?

also thank you for engaging with me on this. I'm genuinely enjoying our conversation!

toastboy79 ,

It won't solve the problems of today but sometimes it can be interesting to see what people of today think for problems and crisises of yesterday. I was in model UN and that was a fairly frequent conference idea.

I also enjoy talking to people because it's easy for us to say "that's a colonialist action" and even though it's true the question becomes (for me) 'alright how could we have done better' and discussing that thought experiment

and I appreciate the call-out, I definitely didn't assume you were calling me one.

Maybe for a better question we ask "what could I have done as Winston Churchill or (I think it was) Truman." While they were singular people they did give the diplomats their marching orders when it came to the peace resolutions.

toastboy79 ,

I'm aware of this fact. thanks.

toastboy79 ,

Mmm that's a pretty fair point. Even back then being the President that ended a war only got you so much political good will in the States. Not sure how it worked for Churchill.

I kinda wonder what if any good solutions there were for this. Doing the moral thing but losing your job doing it and potentially seeing the work you did undone by your successor would suck hella bad.

Well thank you for indulging my questions this has been really fun chatting with you!

toastboy79 ,

Nifty!

Thank you for the history lesson I actually had no idea that's how that all went down.

Supreme Court, siding with Starbucks, makes it harder for NLRB to win court orders in labor disputes (apnews.com)

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Thursday made it harder for the federal government to win court orders when it suspects a company of interfering in unionization campaigns in a case that stemmed from a labor dispute with Starbucks....

toastboy79 ,

This was quite a wonderful way to handle a miscommunication and I was glad to witness it.

Thanks for restoring some hope that the fediverse is capable of handling such issues with respect and courtesy.

toastboy79 ,

certainly not all of them. some sure.

toastboy79 ,

willing to bet?

toastboy79 ,

we'll keep it friendly. 50$ each. we'll use an escrow service. if Biden doesn't pardon him once he is no longer president, I win the cash. if he does you win.

agreeable?

toastboy79 , (edited )

what I'm hunting down right now would be a service where we both can set the terms.

example I submit 50+service fee $ to x service <terms of the bet>. if I'm wrong money goes to NoSuchAgency

you also submit a bet of 50 + service fee <other half of the bet> if your wrong money goes to me.

winner gets their og bet money + other half of the bet.
edit making sure the bets are accurate
