@dewomser ich find greta ja knorke. immerhin brauchte sie für ihren protest arsch in der hose, leider wurde das von allen vereinnahmt und verwässert für eigene zwecke. luisa ist halt trittbrettprofi. sich als studentin zur "führung" einer dezentralen idee von schülern aufschwingen ist eine schwache leistung. aber immerhin, ihre eigene zukunft ist gerettet!

@mjd why do you consider go not open? it at least has two working compilers, one in gcc, and the stdlib is bsd licensed. i'd even argue that the default compiler is clean enough to permit a fork without requiring much arcane knowledge.

@thor the weirdest thing i experienced was on a trip through a catholic region during easter some years ago. absolutely nothing had opened, not even restaurants. really weird experience.

@thor english never ceases to amaze :D

@thor meanwhile in germany: everything closed except gas stations and kiosks where everything costs 3 times more than usual.

except if you live in a designated spa town, things can be open there. shopping is important for your wellbeing!

@ParadeGrotesque alas, politicians, regardless which party, get a well payed "job" from the billionaires after they quit politics as reward for exactly not doing such things. ✨

@thor exactly! i still remember the amazement because the soundblaster finally worked :)

@thor *cue win 3.1 tada sound

@thor from the preview is thought it's a cringy "you are a lumberjack with well groomed hair" mens hair care product bottle :D

@niclas yeah, i also use hetzner vms currently, they are pretty good. i've used the smallest scaleway bare metal arm servers back when they still had them, it's a shame they aren't available anymore.

i still have the nagging feeling that i'd be better off with a cheap dedicated server, or maybe two for redundancy.

i will take a look at server4you. if only the _names_ of the discounters wouldn't be so shitty.. kimsufi, server4you.. who comes up with those :D

thanks for the reply!

i might actually end up renting a kimsufi server with how shitty the prices of everybody else are.

@thor

fwiw, you can define your own slice or map types in Go, eg.:

type foo []string
type bar map[int]string

which is for example used in the sort package [1] of the standard lib. you are free to add methods to those types. imho Go slices and maps are more like C arrays than Objects (i'll give that the maps aren't perfect). Go just isn't OOP like C++ or Java. if you want your own fancy container types, you have to build them.

i think the designers really done 90% right, which is more than many other languages i know (TCL is in the same league). with Go i at least got to keep my sanity, contrary to python etc. especially while deploying things.

then, i'm a hopeless unix fanboy.

i only skipped through the video to see the slides, but i'm not really convinced.

the bullshitty hyped cloudy linux stuff is maybe going to die, if people would stop the "year linux on the desktop" it also would be fine.

all distributions without much company involvement are happily doing their thing. if google, redhat, etc. don't want it anymore, they are free to do their own stuff. maybe i then don't have to _fight_ the bullshit that is pushed because of them :)

@thor i think those jobs, which essentially have the description "make the life of others miserable", attract assholes. if you have _some_ consideration for others, you just work anything else. the 10% of cases where someone is trying to game the system is a price i'm willing to have the 90% who really need help be left alone. my guess is that it would even be cheaper that way.
