The fake money for criminals is the best because there’s a lot of people that aren’t criminals that have bought in on it and among those the concensus is “I think a bunch of IT neck beards can build a better financial system better than the one that evolved over centuries”.

The delusion is laughable.

We back to the 80’s baby!

It used to be free with less of a barrier to entry than postgres

IbM has entered the chat

At this point I’m sure they think Raygun was a bleeding heart Liberal.

Netscape lowered teen pregnancy rates

Gotta chase that Alpha!

To further your point and remembering my asinine discussions with the vendor.

Fine. I accept what they said. Then the return code should be a 5xx code not a 200.

I genuinely wonder if they addressed their fuckups.

Side note their updated desktop client (because of course new version didn’t have one so they had to write one fast) was a java client that needed 16gb of ram to run marginally well lol

Fun story close to a decade ago we were attempting to upgrade our batch scheduler called Tidal to version 6x which had a RESTful API.

One of the reasons we dropped the product was because we were getting 200 status codes meanwhile the output was a java dump of an error message.

They were adamant that this was an us problem, no matter how much I tried to explain to them with numerous links explaining to them that if something has a 200 status code that should mean things worked.

They argued that the 200 meant we were hitting the API fine. We would have to write code to read the return for if it was a error or not. I still don’t think they understood how stupid they were, even all these years later.

This reminds me when a mouse was an option not a requirement

I’ve never investigated for iPhones but would be curious

1. if they exist
2. how bloody hard they are to get going

I can only speak for laptops/desktops and it being a bitch.

There’s a reason I’m very adamant at hating Apple for a multitude of technical reasons. This is but one of them. It’s a shame too because their build quality is really S-Tier.

Same reason it continually sucks to get a working Linux build on an apple laptop or desktop.

As bad as Google is, they’re lightyears ahead of Apple in terms of protecting their products in a walled garden.

But now telling then it’s $3/month to watch my pirated movies? No bueno.

I lol’d at this I won’t lie.

Get Ralph it’s awesome. Use it in conjunction with Zabbix too if you’re monitoring your infra as well.

Amen doing mine still too with redact. 15 years. I joined them with the digg exodus.

Perl and regex are modern day black magic

You’re that afraid of the code you wrote 10 years ago too eh? 🤣

First problem is she’s expecting a right boob like me to review her pull request. Second problem is I don’t give a shit.

If you’re serious about monitoring your shit this is really the best answer. Zabbix is love. Zabbix is life.

On the nose. Thank you for explaining it far more eloquently than I was able to.
