@wmd@chaos.social yeah, flowflex sucks hah

@wmd@chaos.social it's not /the/ best but it's the higher scoring one that's still easy to get (Marktplaats batches for 0.50 each)

very sudden wave of nausea, but seemed to pass rather quickly too, weird

@wmd@chaos.social huh that's the first non-15 minute brand I've heard of, and I've had a lot of different tests through zelftestonderwijs
Is there any other branding on them? Wonder if they're in the dataset from https://cthu.lu/selftests.html

lol why did I even attempt to start working on something without caffeinating first

why did i start programming language discourse

@charlag you can probably express anything in it, the issue for me is adding the type signatures everywhere wastes time and can be needlessly constrictive.. I spend more time fighting the compiler than writing the code I set out to write

@pastelpunkbandit not sure why people think that, most of js' issues are historical cruft and browser incompatibilities, with a more standardized runtime like Node you don't have any of those issues, and you can just write the (most) modern version of the language, which are actually really nice. I write all my software in js, front and back including larger projects

maybe today i will finally make the simple covid selftest timer website...
with a 1 minute timer for letting the swab steep, followed by 15 for the test, in just a nice clean interface

@katnjiapus@toot.site @Dee fighting with your neighbours

this is needlessly combative and use whatever works for you

Typescript sucks and stiffles a lot of the creative development you can do with javascript, if you want to program like java just use java :")

@dumpsterqueer @charlag hah, never. typescript is way too inflexible, and bolted onto a language that doesn't need it to keep people coming from other languages"happy"

@dumpsterqueer @charlag my eslint config is actually focused on correctness (avoiding weird mistakes/js footguns) a lot more than styling :)

@dumpsterqueer i am sleep

a

when in doubt: function that returns a function(s)

too tired to think about API design..

@christianp I run pixie.town and for it's backups I use Borg (with Borgmatic on some servers, and there's also Vorta which has a nice gui). Storage backend-wise I've used https://borgbase.com, BuyVM with a KVM storage slab, and a Hetzner storage box (definitely slower, but cheaper too).

Remote machines also back up to my local servers, but that's rather dependent on your network speed and if you pay for traffic. A Pi with an external disk at someone else's home could be an option too, the newer pi's have not-awful disk throughput i think
