  • I feel this pain. Having to deal with an inheritantly sync database in an async app is painful. You need to make sure at no point the transaction is stopped, make sure to set the timeout to a reasonable time instead of an iPad kids’s attention span, and a whole deal of other things

    Can’t wait for turso to be stable.











  • I am guilty of this but for a different reason: setting up debugging for clis in rust is hard

    I love the debugger. I use it all the time I can. But when debugging cli it’s a pain as you need to go back in the launch.json file, remake the argument list, then come back to run debug, find out why tf it doesn’t find cargo when it’s the PATH… again, then actually debug.


  • I oversimplified it but the actual process was to zip files to send to an FTP server

    The cron zipped the files to send in the same directory as the zipped files, then sent the zip, then deleted the zip

    Looks fine, right? But what if the FTP server is slow and uploading take more time than the hourly cron dispatch? You now have a second script that zip all the folder, with the previous zip file, which will slow down the upload, etc…

    I believe may have been started by an FTP upload erroring out and forcing an early return without having a cleanup, and progressively got worse

    … I suppose this happened. The logs were actually broken and didn’t actually add the message part of the error object, and only logging the memory address to it










  • I kinda hate the push towards passkeys. If you have two factor Auth, going to passkeys makes you go back to 1 factor, aka less secured.

    There’s also more and more 2FA fatigue attacks going on, and they can affect passkeys too, and if you don’t have a 2FA that involves the user writing a code on the 2FA device, passkeys could be quite possibly worse than passwords
