Update: The original dev does not remember exactly. However they have said that clientId was originally a VARCHAR, so this may have been checking for both '0' or ''

So an over-engineered workaround to a bad datatype perhaps?

I forgot to mention this is in SQL Server, so SIN operates on radians. So I THINK this can only ever cast to a 0 when clientId is also 0

It certainly doesn’t for any of the 100,000 existing rows

The client table has around 100,000 rows each with a unique clientId, none of which are returned from the CAST / ABS / SIN

I think you are right and this is a ‘fix’ for something lost to time. I am going to talk to the original dev tomorrow to see if they remember what it was for

Thank you so much, I’ll check it out!

Absolutely, it’s a great read. Could you link the video you watched?

Let me make sure I understand first

1. You are attempting to passwordlessly SSH from Window to a group of servers using Powershell
2. Something stopped working and you regenerated your Windows SSH keys

i added my private key, and tried to connect

This concerns me, as the server should have the user’s public key, not private. Private should be exactly that, private

Is the Powershell user / SSH key the same as the Putty user / SSH key that still works?

When you run the Powershell script, does it give any error messages?

I know with Linux -> Linux SSH you can log verbosely with -v, is that something you can do under Powershell?

Is password auth enabled? Does that still work from Putty, and can you do the same from Powershell?

On the website, or on an app?

I have posted half a dozen things from the Jerboa app and not encountered this

Maybe something like “Drone Techno”?

Oh yeah, I remember listening to that when they only had around 5 episodes

They still do the high-pitched beep when you start or stop I see haha

Thank you

@orbit@beehaw.org just suggested this 24-hour cyberpunk playlist to me too

Over 24 hours of Cyberpunk music?!?! Oh my god Thank You!!!

Thank you, I will check them out!

Two of my old favourites were the Frozen Synapse OST and Dune: Spice Opera (although not technically a soundtrack)

Wow there is a lot there! Thank you

I will listen to a few at work this week

In the timeline at the bottom it says:

2023-05-05: Converso asks: ‘How were you able to decompile the source code of the app and what do you think should be done to protect against that in the future?’

So I think some of the devs were in way over their heads too!

Not specific to AI, some of the people I work with make me prone to drinking as well

These are really nice! Thank you

I followed Paged Out for a year before I realised that Issue #3 was never going to happen

So far really good! It has some quirks, and there are some bugs and some teething issue with the large influx of people (specifically on lemmy.ml)

It is a mind-set change working with a different system and the whole instance idea is still very new for me

As an Australian, it was very quiet last night (10ish hours ago), but that will improve as more people join

What about if I want to link to a post that will work for the local instance?

For example, @huojtkeg@lemmy.world posted above that https://lemmy.world/post/58535 is his instance link, and https://lemmy.ml/post/1205894 is the link from lemmy.ml. Neither of which allow me to comment directly.

Is there linking method that says Give me the link for post #X on instance Y, but give me the link on the viewing instance?
