I have a follow-up question.

Where do recipes come from? Surely everyone’s just stealing each other’s recipes and the most arrogant people are compiling it all into cookbooks and pretending they invented it?

I’m up to 537 lines of server code, 2278 lines in my script, and 226 in my API interfacing, I’m actually super proud of it haha.

But you’re totally right, there are things I read that I just have no clue what they even mean or if I should know it, and probably use all the wrong terminology. I feel like I should probably go back to the start and find a course to teach me properly. I’ve probably learned so many bad habits. It doesn’t help that I learned JS before ES6 so I need to force myself not to use var and force myself to understand and use arrow functions.

I absolutely know that the way I’ve written the program will make some people cringe, but I don’t know any better. There are a few sections where I’m like “would that actually be what a real, commercial web app would do, or have I convoluted everything?”

For example, the entire thing is just one 129-line html file. I just hide and unhide divs when I need a new page or anything gets changed. I’m assuming that’s a bad thing, but it works, it looks good, and I don’t know any better!

For a personal tool that runs locally I can handle some bloat in the name of safety!

Awesome, thanks for the info. Definitely super useful for debug mode whilst I’m fixing and tampering!

Because I’m relatively new at this type of thing, how does that appear on the front end? I’m using a js/html front end and a jsnode backend. Would I just see a popup before I make any changes?

I did when I made the query a year ago. Dumdum sleep deprived brain thought it would look more organised this way

Me only know caveman. Not have big brain only smooth brain

Thanks, I’ll look into it! I’m interested in why you got downvoted though! 😅

It is after the event that I find that postgres’ WAL journalling is off by default 🙃

Oh I did that like a year ago.

And then last night had an error that led me back near this code and stupidly thought “hey it’d look neater if those numbers were in order”

My only education is a super helpful guy from Reddit who taught me the basics of setting up a back end with nodejs and postgres. After that it’s just been me, the references and stack overflow.

I have NO education about actual practises and protocol. This was just a tool I made to make my work easier and faster, which I check in and update every few months to make it better.

I just open vscode, run node server.js to get started, and within server.js is a direct link to my database using the SQL above. It works, has worked for a year or two, and I don’t know any other way I should be working. Happy to learn though!

(but of course this has set me back so much it would have been quicker not to make the tool at all)

So you’re saying yes, Israel can forcefully remove Palestinians because they were there first?

Therefore Russia can forcefully remove Ukrainians because they were there first?

“at one time in the past”

As did Russians on the land of Ukraine, in their opinion.

In the 17th/18th century, parts of what is now Ukraine were incorporated into the Russian Empire, especially after the partitions of Poland in the late 18th century. However, other parts remained under Polish or Ottoman rule. The Russian Empire did exert considerable influence over these territories, often implementing Russification policies.

Throughout the 19th century, the concept of a Ukrainian identity persisted, albeit under the umbrella of the Russian Empire for many regions. Some Ukrainians sought greater autonomy or even independence.

During the early 20th century, specifically after the Russian Revolution, Ukraine briefly declared independence but was soon incorporated into the Soviet Union as one of its constituent republics. While it was part of the USSR, Ukraine had its own Communist Party, constitution, and administrative structures, but Moscow held ultimate authority.

It wasn’t until 1991 that Ukraine was an independent country.

So is Russia allowed to take back the land they feel is theirs, and technically was, 30 years ago?

Meanwhile, “Israel” hadn’t existed since around 63 BCE when it fell under Roman control. It wasn’t until after WW1 and especially 1947 that Jewish people of the Zionist movement decided to reclaim their religious roots and move back to the area en masse.

So is Israel allowed to take back the land they feel is theirs, and technically was, 2086 years ago?

To be clear, I don’t support anyone here. I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy of allowing Israel to dismantle Palestine whilst fighting the russian dismantlement of Ukraine.

I don’t think Palestine should be killing civilians, I don’t think Russia should be, I don’t think Israel should be. But they all are. And the media in the UK and US is only really reporting one side of the Israel situation due to their historic involvement, which causes a very one sided view of the situation, where a nation is being slowly invaded and killed whilst blaming them for any retaliation in any form.

I just asked what you believe about that specific topic. You said they have no right to it.

But they say historically they were there long before Ukraine was ever a thing and it’s rightfully their land, so they’re taking it by force.

So do you believe that Israel has a right to the land in Palestine due to their historic ties?

Do you believe that Russia rightfully should be claiming the land by force?

But Russia say it’s theirs historically? So surely they should just be allowed to have it

What do you think about the Russian claim to the land in Ukraine

But surely that person has to appreciate that it’s only happening because his country is killing and stealing the land of another and has been for 75 years, and has essentially kettled them into a literal corner with giant walls and no escape where they have to rely on aid to survive, while killing and injuring huge amounts more of their people. (20x more killed in the last 15 years)

.

Acting in self defence or in anger is pretty understandable given what’s happened.

It’s like condemning Ukraine for attacking Russia, if Russia had been attacking for almost a century. Russia also claims that Ukrainian land belongs to their country historically. Blows my mind anyone can “both sides” it, and supporting Ukraine whilst condemning Palestine is especially hypocritical. The BBC especially surprised me how blatant the hypocrisy is with their one sided reporting

yeah, TONS of furries too. It used to be you could just block lemmynsfw.com (and have an alt account just for that instance if you like) but now new communities are popping up on random instances. I never know whether to block the whole instance or just the community every time.
