Okay but it doesn’t stop bots at all and would just inconvenience people
normal people might not want discord to have their phone number
yup
You don’t want wampus to call you at 3 o’clock in the morning to get up and pee?
there are ways to bypass that option anyways afaik
That and plenty of bots have SMS on their accounts
Idk it worked for my server until this is some new shit 
Some bot also has anti raid feature and you will get false passive
My first reaction to bots was that and it didn’t do anything
bot raided eh
Bots still get through
sounds like we should all move to IRC
Mhhhm
where bots never happen 😄
Robo you smells that’s why no one on irc
but at least in irc you can actually fight them
I want to ban people
no such thing as a gline in dumcord
but here, c:
You can fight them on discord
Aurora needs some action
Exactly
She needs her banning quota today
aurourara 
r u channeling ur inner wizjany
banning by regex is a really nice feature of irc ^^
send that action to proxi, she keeps tryna hit on me
Wizjany actually helped someone in #paper-help today
ip range banning too 👀
I was impressed
or even easier: require accounts to be registered, filters 99.9% of the IRC spam bots lmao
ah yeah, in irc you can ban entire cities or countries 😂
Discord accounts have to be registered too
or well, just using IRC might filter out most idiots
I gotta make a dumcord bot for this discord at some point
runs
Reminds me of the fun I had when my mate made a simple chat thing
Putting on zzzcats massive todo list
and we just played cat and mouse with one another
But, I was the asshole being the spammer
cat fix waterfall instead
Hello
hello
I can't get over how dumb the logo for the Super Bowl is this year
is that today?
looks like several discords are getting bot raided
ok cool xd
it's right now
I can't wait till they try here
It's the 50th one (LV) but the logo looks like it's the 49th (LIV)
just a heads up lol
The ban hammers are polished ^^

?lockdown
https://is.paper.sexy/ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
good god
Backdoors
Relay bot is pretty backed up though, lol
yeah thats gonna be going for days
yeah, it's awesome
^^
Can we find a nicer way to express our love?
?lockdown end
Unlocked 18/18 channels.
hi
weee
magic
hello
okay do NOT repeat what they said
I liked it better in lockdown
i love papermc
I liked it better when cat was sleeping
~~please don't repeat the bots word ~~
hello gamers ?
hey can we get a -m in irc from one of u dumz
LMAO
lmfao
"paper"
xD
but all in one sentence
please osakr
atleast they love paper
youll be my best friend
DO they spam they love yatopia in thier discord? @waxen panther
I wonder what happens if the webhook uses a banned phrase, lol
also https://is.paper.sexy/gdB5LAE7.png ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I btter hope not
LOL
on papermc friendly words
irc can't delete messages
dont say that aurora, phoenix will go on his censorship spiel
I wonder if u do like "click dis emoji to join these channels" sort of thing would thwart this iteration
probably

imagine being the mf setting this shit up for days on end
could even do a captcha with it requiring the correct emoji to be clicked
Even if you do shit like that, they can still PM spam
why do you say dumcord all the time?
Or was that fixes now?
Cause that's the proper term for this software goose
Discord is the least shitty of all the shitty Mumble/IRC replacements 😛
"move to irc"
idk, slack is pretty fine
teams <3
team based tho obviously
matrix is fine too 👀
o ya, MS Teams pretty kewl
anything that isn't centralized or proprietary is fine
runs
We use mattermost for work
Hopefully we can use teams at work soon...
I haven't looked into matrix but one guy used it
It doesn't pause gifs or videos when they lose focus
and he setup an IRC and slack bridge iirc
We got a guerilla mattermost instance that architecture doesn't know about at work 😂
mattermost's formatting for replies and quotes makes more sense but the performance is bad
Just idling with the client open is enough to kill my battery if my laptop doesn't sleep overnight
same for any node application
So if I fall asleep with a movie going or something and didn't bring my power cord if Mattermost was open the battery dies
Discord is fine though
whee
whoo
zml 
hi aber!!!
i luv paper
Banned

We shouldn't talk about that in public tho, know the bot owners know you removed the word
I couldve already added it back tho
i actually joined bc i saw another server get raided
over there they're saying "yall gay lmao"
we are prepared^^
so basically its just pro-paper here and everywhere else "switch to paper lol"
ok
i just shit myself
oops
?lockdown

pog !
bruh
LUL

Why didn't my lockdown work?
Oh well

Hey, I'm using PaperSpigot 1.8.8, and I would like to know how do I get a Enderman Spawner (in my inventory)
lol 1.8
lol paperspigot
that would be the first message
xD

mfw
Lmao, the first message after lockdown
It's suiting. that's all.
hey i agreed that 1.8.8 has 0 support but i'd decided to ask anyway
GIVE ME 1.8 OR GIVE ME DEATH
That's the new bot message, better get rid of it
i hope this is a meme message
?
paperspigot 1.8.8 isnt even supported and i think thats clearly stated somewhere
We haven't supported 1.8 in years, as is literally all over our downloads page
god tier bait or you are just disregarding that we wont provide support
Go google for a give command generator from that era or find a plugin or something
travertine update to 1.8 when?
i hope its the former
already is
Okay, and on another version how to get this spawner?
can I haz 1.8 support!??!?!?!
guys how do i play paperspigot on 1.5.2 i cant find the download
seriously, google it, the thing has changed over the years
where paper infDev download
There are literally pretty command generators on the internet for everything these days
just rename paper-1.15.2-100.jar to paper-1.5.2-100.jar, you'll trick the server into booting 1.5 instead
perfect plan!
10.000.000IQ
paper help still locked rip

leave it to spigot to take over a minute to go from [19:17:15] [Thread-2/INFO]: Stopping server to actually shutting down
super bowl is very lopsided so far

You mean soccer?
why is #adorable-pets a thing but #adorable-puppies isnt?
Hey, they put their foot to the ball once in a while
world cup final gets like a billion viewers doesnt it lol
No i mean football, the sport where you touch the ball with your foot all the time
puppies arent adorable jkjk
Hey, the British named it soccer, don't blame us for them changing their mind later 😛
oh you mean association football mini
thats soccer buddy
... so you have chosen death
aka soccer
what is pretty in pink role
Only 'murica would go, "what do we name this sport where we throw a ball at one another?"
I have never heard association football before
Ohhh, I know, let's call it football!

Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a team sport played with a spherical ball between two teams of 11 players. It is played by approximately 250 million players in over 200 countries and dependencies, making it the world's most popular sport. The game is played on a rectangular field called a pitch with a goal at ...
Its like a stretched ball

It's literally the name for it on wikipedia 😄

i absolutely loved the lockdown
Football is a family of team sports that involve, to varying degrees, kicking a ball to score a goal. Unqualified, the word football normally means the form of football that is the most popular where the word is used. Sports commonly called football include association football (known as soccer in some countries); gridiron football (specificall...
Wikipedia decided
i mean it initially started with a lot more kicking so it made sense to call it football
you couldnt even pick up the ball originally
Gridiron football, also known as North American football or, in North America, simply football, is a family of football team sports primarily played in the United States and Canada. American football, which uses 11-player teams, is the form played in the United States and the best known form of gridiron football worldwide, while Canadian footbal...
my man, use this to help you https://ezekielelin.com/give/ and learn a bit about data tags and you should be able to figure it out
they alread left
the sheer thought of having to like, you know, do stuff, probs scared them
Football in the US started as soccer, morphed in to rugby, then morphed in to what it is now
imagine being scared of research
he could be happily using 1.8.8 without annoying anyone
but muh handegg /s
btw it's called association football because these guys make the rules https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Football_Association
The Football Association (also known as The FA) is the governing body of association football in England and the Crown dependencies of Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man. Formed in 1863, it is the oldest football association in the world and is responsible for overseeing all aspects of the amateur and professional game in its territory.

what about this one?
wdym robo We were back before irc
which gave u teh chance

No, that's cloudbot
wdym EterNity? we were never gone

ya u missed a lot of stuff here
sethbling here
robomwm I can't find any reference to irc explorer except for on sketchy "mirror" sites
I didn't miss you
please only speak for yourself, Z750
it's ded sulu
author like
zml!!! ❤️
disappeared like
Didn't notice y'all where gone
it was kinda peaceful and nice for once
aurora!!!!
like, idk if he died or something
I wanted to tab zml
<3
:'(
unfortunate, phoenix
I thought it was on purpose
you can see on facebook and a couple other places for tilelogic, he was the author
i like our discord friends
he last chatted in freenode about an update for windows 10
especially aurora
😮
and then his activity just... ceased. frozen in time
his bouncer eventually died, and his store listing disappeared
bots :o
I do also use IRC for stuff!!!
👀
lol aurora
the only way I can reinstall IRC Explorer is to restore from backup on a Windows 8 machine, cuz it isn't just delisted it's flat out gone except for whatever server Windows 8 downloads apps from to restore
again
never heard of irc explorer
not sure
i use a real irc client
I think I've looked it up once or twice, haven't really dived into it
it has to be stored somewhere
you probably can after you rip it apart a bit
there's a bunch of stuff to keep you from doing that
because MS doesnt want you to
all I found was downloading appx's straight from the store
what should I play now, league or overwatch
which, can't really do after the fact
neither
you should go make tacos
I personally prefer to play myself
you should get ice cream
tell ggn to unban my account
it's 02:40 am

wakes up at like 9:30pm
irc clients are p easy to write, the protocol is straightforward
making a nice UI is tricker tho
ya but I've never done UI stuff
ye
*making a nice UI without spinning up a whole web browser
just throw bootstrap in there
well it's gonna b UWP most likely
Making ui is hard 
what decent UI libs are there these days ? can QT quick do real things now?
Making a UI that can act like Discord or Slack without spinning up a browser is a whole event
gotta use IRC on my xbox and hololens ofc
I mean, QT and electron are basically the only real cross-platform things
Qt*
speaking of which, I wish UWP for xbox had access to kinect skeletal data
just use java
QT is the Apple media player
QT BEST MEDIA PLAYER
poor VLC
says sorry to mpv and huggles it
vlc used to always crash for me, tbqh
(that's how you pronounce it)
Hence, mpv master-race
VLC on windows store c:
can mpv play youtube videos though?
Well, you actually just pronounce it as cute, I realize now I've made this more confusing by trying to be clever
mytube can
mpv https://youtube.com/watch?v=<videoID> worked last time I tried it
nice
yeah, it uses youtube-dl internally for that, so you might have to install it too
but it'll use a streaming mode
Yea, you need youtube-dl installed, but, works fine
I just use VLC everywhere for video, never had issues with it in 15 years lol
Streaming HTTP is easy for non-live stuff, you just use regular HTTP
I just had too many issues with VLC crashing
youtube does weird protocol things iirc?
(besides on my TV I guess where I use kodi)
I mean, if you want to automatically switch quality levels you need DASH or whatever still but you can just take the download URL youtube-dl gives you and stream it
and, I pretty much always have a terminal in range if I wanna launch mpv, and it's the default video player too on my machine iirc
VLC is dying for me a lot recently as well
OS?
Windows 
and by stream I mean you can even do something like curl <raw video URL> | mpv
oof
I havent noticed many issues with it on win or linux
As soon as there are 3 different subtitle fonts on screen it dies
or moving subtitles
but macOS especially, VLC clearly is a lil less interested in
Like, it used to be stable af on windows
yes i can type!
banned
finally no more phone needed
It would have been so funny if the bot auto banned you for that
I kinda wish it had
ya know

u can just
use the better chat protocol
VLC refuses to play anything on my network drive from GNOME and mpv crashes as soon as any UI is drawn on top of the video
pls no then we cant block 'em
So if you start it and never move your mouse again it'll play but not fullscreen
but I gotta say the new VLC design looks really sexy
nah it's ez 2 block
Gotta update vlc
we just discussed the many moderation options of IRC
totem (GNOME Videos) plays things from my network drive but doesn't buffer or something
holy shit I saw vlc like 5 times and got scared
It seems to play until the next iframe then pause and download until the next one
But it doesn't download ahead of time while playing or something, it seems
lol, yeah
I should probably look in to using samba or something to mount the drive manually instead of using gvfs for it
Hey where did my avatar go for IRC messages?
samba 😅
likely need to talk in here once
weird
it all got a little worse when discord changed their api a bit and the intents system
I've found nfs to work way more reliably (if you don't need windows)
It's just an external drive attached to my router, I don't have a proper NAS setup
Not that sshfs doesn't have its own stupid moments
ono i missed the whole football conversation
Choices are SMB and FTP
sad
ouch
why not NFS?
yeah see now your avatar shows up fine
"dum router"
don't tell me you don't have linux on your router?
may have to poke at that again
Does windows support NFS?
It's an 802.11ax router
if not, I got doubts they're gonna bother offering that for the sub 10% of people who can use it
not oob
tf is that?
there's a feature you can turn on
its cool
ah
ur cool
And I'm not going to spend $500 to send one to a dd-wrt developer
hm
you mean OpenWRT
right?
No?
I've only run dd-wrt on one router, I don't know these things :P
theyre both things that exist
I had airports for years then a ubiquiti setup
oh right, dd-wrt is open source too
Used a dd-wrt one as a wireless repeater
I've just always been an OpenWRT/LEDE guy lol
That was just the cheapest 802.11n router that was supported because I wasn't using that network anyway, it was to get rid of a dead spot in the kitchen
helo
Hello kashike
Of course
lol
It gets a feature and then applies it

is today finally the day
hm?
no sorry check back tomorrow

😳
Excluding packaging, cosmetic and license differences OpenJDK is the same as OracleJDK.
- Minecraft Wiki
So why do people benchmark them separately?
back in the day there used to be a wider difference
they haven't always been the same, used to perform differently, they only reached full parity since 11 I think
and with oracles licensing, you really should be using open at this point
I thought it was 9 because thats when they changed the license on oracle and made a big deal
if you used 9 though, oofers
anyway, theyre the same now
ah so being as I don't use the installer and just dump a bunch of extracted tar.gzs in my home folder I may as well just be using this one?
You can't use oracle JDK in a production environment without paying oracle
if you're on linux just install openjdk with your package manager
use it for dev all you want, but, it really doesn't matter there outside of tainting your environment with proprietry stuff which may or may not be there in openjdk, which is the defacto for the community and such
do they even have 15? besides, I don't install them anyway cuz I find it easier to manage like this
It mostly is for dev other then occasionally some friends joining so that's not really a problem
k i'll just use open next time I update
not sure why you're going after the oracle version, though
I want to use the Minecraft Development plugin for Intellij, but currently it only supports up to 1.16.4.
Do I have to just make my plugin from scratch??
you should be fine using the version for 1.16.4
and you could always add the paper API jar manually, yes
or wait like 5 minutes and Ill bump the number
oh that's your plugin? ig i'll use it lol
its demonwav's plugin
its demon's plugin
ping, oop
I just updated it, 1.16.5 will show in new projects now
if you already made it, just update the pom.xml or build.gradle file
?
i said his full name, pretty sure he's on IRC so that woulda pung
oh lol I thought u meant I accidentally pinged (pung?) Z
i feel attacked somehow
ESL?
thanks!
uhh english subsystem for linux
loooooooooooool
English as a Second Language
lol
woosh
wait so WSL is Windows as a second language?
windows really is considering how hard it is to learn
nein
i saw someone selling their pc because they didn't understand how to use it (they are an apple fan boy, so obviously used to using a mac)
couldn't help but laugh
windows is ok but i will never use it for developing
i can only hate myself so much
windows is my first language that I then run from in terror
all i do on computers is code, do my job, or school
ngl, first time I used a mac I struggled tryna eject a disk
lol actually same
one of those all in one imacs
had to get a paper clip and poke the little hole
https://linux.die.net/man/8/umount , like any sane person
I installed hackintosh for the lulz once, but, didn't have wifi support for my card, so, just delete it, tried it again a few years later for teh lulz
I mean, it was my teachers computer, just whip open a terminal, lul
oh you mean physically eject lol
Yea, usb flash
oh then you don't mean physically eject lol
Teacher: this computer doesn't work
student: terminal
teacher: "ahh they're hacking my computer"
But, I mean, I didn't know enough about macOS to know that there was a *nix terminal, annnd that it was my teachers computer, not sure they woulda apprechiated that lol
But, after using a hackintosh for teh lulz, I somehow fell in love with the damned thing
macos 
I ain't booted windows in so long am dreading it
That's gonna be a horror show to say the least
Might do it one day before I go bed and just let it do its thing
same actually, I have a tri boot and I've been dreading the day I have to turn Windows on one day and update
I've found superiority in just using only Windows
i use all three
quick someone whats the link to the thing when somebody is using offline mode and its the fbi raid
https://syscraft.org/fbi (this might not be it)
thank u bby'
That's never gonna get old xD
I think we as a community have enough "clout" to maintain an awesome-minecraft-hosts list
Or just build hosts into this
I support ^ if this means less shitty host. Some problems in #paper-help comes down to poopy host
Could literally drive summerhosts out of business
And it answers the "host recommendations" questions
that list is hard
the mc community is very... opinionated
compared to most communities
Precisely 
DeJay will personally fight any one who disagree on the list
I will shit on DeJay's rug
what did we say about using the litter box
Psh
.cat
There are more efficient places to shit
Like @ cat's shoes
implying people need shoes in 2021
Oh, right. My bad. No point in going outside, really 
Must be nice to be able to work from home all the time! 😦
@true canyon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJRDclzi5Vg&t=1m17s
would you like a job making me tacos
it's full time
I need a lot of tacos
Yeah won't forget that any time soon.
no
ok ok
oh
here's what we'll do
if you make enough tacos that the quota is filled
any extra tacos are yours
Sounds strenuous
i still have never ate a taco
👀
No
There's not really a place to get them
I made my own when I was doing keto
And i was never motivated enough to make some
It was, just, beautiful
Like we don't have taco bell or whatever
We don't even have pizza hut or dominos 😭
uwu
so i heard there's a #hosts channel?
and?
whats it about, like does it just list the hosts?
no
host owner discussion?
Imma have to try and make some at some point when am not dead
obviously I wasn't talking to you
I mean, I free-lance, pros and cons vs office style work
online school sucks
free lance I get that, but I meant a full time job
going into a building to work has it's merits vs the place where you work is the same place that you chill down
At the same point, you're not traveling and have some better control over your own environment
not just that, but you get to interact with people at work and make friends haha
if you wanna turn your office space into a freezer, you can
mhm
I'm the type of person that would very much rather work from home
I'd take it any day
if u work from home, no need to worry about travel times xd
I've been more or less working from home for a long time. I generally prefer it.
i'm already sick of just being at my house most of the time
and I'm not even working
That's fair. Though I'm not at all a social person so at home is good for me lol
I mean, it's the one pro of freelancing is that I can determine what suit am working for work
my roommate is currently working from home and he hates it
yeah i consider myself a pretty social person
between my birthday one and my general trousers
I gotta get some cargo pants, kinda miss them
wtf
lol
at least no time limit so u can work on drawing skills xdd
i just want to play stellaris without spending $100 for all of the dlc + base game 😢
guess I'm gonna have to buy it
It's a channel for server hosting providers were we share things with them that might interest them
75% off right now oh my
wheres the channel tho xd
Internal
i was just going to say it probably doesn't concern you if you're not a host haha
I'm a host, chewhost boats 1% uptime and $100/gb/hour
Support is just me when I have free time
I'll take 7
that gb better do a lot
It's uh
like buy me dinner first
why would you do that
the running joke used to be we'd run your servers on a collection of overheating netbooks in my closet
couple hundred servers per host
normal shared hosting stuff
Of course I'll be using a custom panel
yeah thats not really a joke, that's a reality
Built with absolutely no JavaScript
"high performance undisclosed name enterprise grade CPU"
Premium CPU Core
I had my friend who works for a company that uses cloudflare enterprise grade my hardware
Premium CPU Thread*
thats not bad
Doesn't "enterprise grade hardware" imply it was a passing grade? 😛
enterprise grade means "it is used in an enterprise somewhere"
is d not a passing grade
not everywhere
C is the cutoff for passing here
in the U.S., a 60% is passing
but in uni if you average below a 75%, you get kicked out
so it's kinda weird
for me, non core classes passing is D or grater, but for core classes (english, or whatever) are C for passing
yeah courses that are prerequisites for others required us to get a 70% to move on
D is the pass over here, basically
and look how cat turned out
if you go under a 2.0 GPA (75% average), you get put on probation and then kicked out
yeah for me, english required a C but astronomy although I got a 69.4 i could still do semester 2 cus it didnt have any prerequisites
canvas called it a D and not an F so i was good
nice
(they call it F to pay respects to your GPA)
In Uni we don't have letter gradings
We just have a numeric grade based on percentages
letter grades are atrocious
no E over here too
ours is ABCDE
F-DCBA/+
isnt that some girl
Think that there's even a G
A 7 is the highest grade you can get, which is usually 90%+
W is withdraw, I is incomplete, E is fail
but, that's like "not submitted/you really fucked up"
We have a Z which essentially means you failed but it doesnt count against you gpa wise
we had P/NP (pass, no pass), basically taking the course pass fail and it doesnt affect gpa
up to professors to decide when to give it out, essentially it's for someone who made an honest effort but still didnt make the cut
i took a few P/NP in the spring because of covid
Our pass fail units affect GPA lol, so it's either raising or massively lowering a GPA (as they end up as 1 or 7)
so you could p/f a class you needed for another class
So if you fail a pass/fail with a GPA of 7, you're adding a 1 into the average and making it hella low
For pass/fail units, yes
We have 1 to 6, with 1 being the best and 6 being the worst
I mean you often don't get a choice
wat
ah like UIL
I believe all the pass/fail units I did were core units
we had the choice of up to 2 classes
Australia
Gday m8
i am learning that education is fucked up everywhere
thought it was mostly just us
us as in U.S. or where you are
u.s.
ah
Worst part was the pass/fail units I did were all group assignments lol
(or both)
Although they marked the whole group - then weighted the mark by each persons contributions
bro covid nuked a group assignment for me in spring 2020 im so glad i dodged a bullet
So I passed them, but a friend of mine in my group for example failed
i dont even know why the GPA system is on a 4 point scale. the difference between a 2.7 and a 3.0 is 0.01-1%, but it is drastically different if you look at the GPA...
i dont get why it isn't just on a 100 point scale lol
Funniest part is the US and Australia GPA systems aren't equivalent - despite both using a scale. My 6.5 GPA in Aus ends up being 3.9 or whatever in the US system, whereas if you directly scale it out it should be 3.8
Australia scales everything equally, whereas the US one appears to be weighted based on year?
the highest grade I got in one of my major classes was a B+ lol, rest were C- thru B
no it's all equal me
So first year classes have the same weighting on GPA as final year classes?
In that case the calculators I was given when I was applying for US jobs years back were wrong
the grade is weighted by the number of credit hours the course is
but that's the only weighting
Hmm okay
so an A in a 5 credit course is worth more than an A in a 2 credit course
Australia's courses do scale up based on "year" in terms of credit hours
So that may be why
But they weight equally here
back in high school we had "AP" and regular classes. The ap classes were weighted and tacked on 10 points to the gpa
Logic is just that for harder courses you're expected to put in more time
but if you got less than a 70 you still failed so whatever ig
yeah our AP courses were on a 5 scale, so an A in an AP course meant you got a 5.0, and you just add it to your regular scale
which makes sense because getting a B in an AP course is probably somewhat equivalent to an A in a regular course
they don't want to penalize people for taking more rigorous courses
Wait y'all have a highschool GPA?
mhm
its the same scale as uni, 4.0
although AP and honors courses usually are worth 5 points for an A instead of 4
Anyway my GPA sucked
Most of the reason my GPA wasn't awful was because I went into uni knowing the content already, I spent most of the time running a CompSci club and working on WorldEdit/etc
Yeah I could’ve done better but I also wanted a social life, also my major was insanely difficult
Computer Science is weird, one of my friends says he hasn’t really learned much in uni and has amazing grades, says he already knew most of the stuff he was learning
one of the key reasons im not going to uni for comp sci
I mean that's going to be like anything that you've already been doing prior to uni
My majors (AI & Security) were super difficult, but when I was only doing one complex unit each semester (due to the core CS ones being stuff I already knew) it was pretty chill as I had a heap of time to spend on them
im goin for business, which hopefully will be useful
though google's certificates come out next month and the major im goin is there anyway
so like, bye uni ig 👋😂
I had fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, differential equations, and separation processes (the hardest of the five), and a lab course all in one semester. That was a nightmare.
Most of my semesters were like that. I don’t miss it one bit
Hi simple 🥺
mana 🥺
i do not really want to read this chapter...
ok nvm its much less boring this chapter
this chapter is about neurons and the brain and not dead white men
Hey! Is there anyone here that has ever worked as a SWE for like, the big phone service providers like T-Mobile, ATT, Etc
What is an SWE
Software Engineer
those companies don't really do that
Have not seen that acronym before, but nope
still a nope from me, im not sure any regulars in here are. i know most of them :p maybe some people who never talk are
i know one dude i msgd hoping for a reply back
I work on a huge codebase on a daily, but not for phone service provider
for what
casinos
wdym by casinos?
actual casinos
proxi is responsible for maintaining the systems that let people willingly lose all their money
i work for a company that owns and operates casinos, both physical and online
big support
oh wow
craigslist, facebook marketplace, etc
is github the best platform for all that shit?
or in a college setting, they're just assigned
like, i'm curious
post your own
so you can be a creep
but yes, likely so they can be creeps
do most companies use github for all their stuff or do they share them throughout git instances like maybe some on github, some on a self hosted gitlab, some on bitbucket
we use only 1 platform, but a lot of companies vary
yeah I guess I could post something lol
some prefer GH on-premises, others GH enterprise cloud, others bitbucket
Depends on the companies
It's not really sector specific
many places use GH, many use some similar only service, many are in house
id assume most companies do github or bitbucket tho
Like, you can still find companies using VCS
what's the diff between GH on-premises and GH enterprise cloud
the bank I worked for (covered all of north america) just used what was then called TFS but err, since MS owns GH now they might be using GH on premise
the on premises part
ones hosted by github
the others hosted by the company somewhere
depends on your budget/requirements
my company was running far as fuck away from on-premises options tho. if cloud was offered they were eating it up
was a while ago tho
letting somebody else deal with your internal repos is nice to save you having to employ staff specifically for that, but, now you're dealing with the potential security implications of having a 3rd party involved
But, for many companies, running from dated legacy in house solutions is the dream
we prefer cloud too, simple; less effort maintaining when everyone needs it anyways
we had a few on premises software options but all the SMEs were retiring so the bank was like "um"
"fuck"
i don't
I prefer not to create commands :dab:
I'm not saying that playing yeetus deletus on broc would be the right thing to do
but, it would feel nice
What is a SME
.g SME
(DiscordBot) Small and medium-sized enterprises Small and medium-sized enterprises or small and medium-sized businesses are businesses whose... (https://duckduckgo.com/Small_and_medium-sized_enterprises?v=i&kp=1)
SME is Subject Matter Expert
the people who worked there who knew all about the on-premises installations
and they retired, so the bank had nobody who knew how to run them
so ran to the cloud
training the next generation? who does that when you can outsource I guess
I mean, it's generally a bunch of legacy tech anyways
Mini was telling us the joys of his company running away from some IBM based stuff or something
the availability of people who can maintain these stacks often only decreases meaning that the skills become super valuable and costly af to a company to hire somebody for that stack, which newer people coming onto the team from stuff like uni's, etc, ain't gonna be aware of
Surprised if more than a few % know much about git, etc
Like, my uni never taught anything about gradle or maven \o/
Imagine having university that teaches anything other than some few "core" concepts.
blinded by the truth#3804 has been warned. || please post bad memes nowhere, and good ones in #memes
hey, at least they teach about 3 times as much maths as I would like
