Status: Teaching myself to sharpen knives on traditional whetstones, accidentally rubbed off a fingerprint to the point of bleeding.
But damn it, it was worth it to have my (somewhat cheap) knives once more slice through vegetables as if it were warm butter.
And if you touch the knives up once in a while it's pretty fast to keep them sharp.

Yes, if they were statically assigned internet addresses, that would be less of a problem, although it would still fail if some new devices needed to connect through dynamic IPs, which usually come with DSL here.
Dynamic IP addresses (when really dynamic, where you don't control the DHCP service) are not good identifiers.
But in reality the addresses were from a class-A private network and were assigned by the ISP to SIM cards (phone numbers), so the system was basically tied to one operator, whose VPN was already being clogged with data.
Devices with SIM cards have other identifiers available, such as the IMEI and IMSI. Those are real IDs, and at least as available as the MAC (once off the local net to which the device is connected) .

Status: Thoroughly confronted with why I wrap all accesses to the oracle instant client API. I used to query certain things from the data dictionary, but apparently
OCIDescribeAny
is faster. Representative snippet:if( (r = OCIAttrGet( (dvoid *)col_desc, OCI_DTYPE_PARAM, (dvoid *)&ub2val, NULL, OCI_ATTR_DATA_SIZE, err_handle )) ) { if( check_error( err_handle, r ) ) { return -1; } }

IMEIs would be great. It would also be great if the device could actually talk as one device (and report its full configuration) instead of each part talking separately and me juggling with Kafka Streams to stich it all together, but that would require thinking before doing which is, as we established, impossible.

Kafka Streams
Why would anyone
- name a product Kafka?
- use a product named Kafka?
It's a name that evokes meaningless pain, suffering, and psychological torture. Truth in advertising, sure, but a marketing disaster (at least if anyone remembered their high school literature classes).

Just like LinkedIn, who originally developed it.

It's July the fourth and I would like to take this opportunity to remind the Americans: its spelt colour.
What, sort of yellowy-brown?
Wheatcorn colored would be a bit more recognizable. And what is this spelt-colored mystery of which you speak?

@hungrier no but if you want to use what appears to be the bastard child of DNS and blockchain (natch) then you can have one that is presumably isn't accessible to anyone using normal DNS.

Status: Is brain damage a requirement to have a YouTube channel?
I decided to watch a video about Limited Run Games. I've bought a few games from them because I like physical copies. But this mook is all over the place in his criticism.
He's angry that the games are limited but then he's angry that they're not. He's angry that they, horror of horrors, order extra copies beyond the preorders to sell at convention booths. He's angry that people collect games and somehow that's their fault. Oh, he has a few valid criticisms as well, but it's lost in the sea of "I hate this company because I hate it" rambling.

No, but it helps a lot when coming up with stuff that is monetizable clickbait.

That's my code too, but that's because it needs access to a bunch of non-trivial credentials (for OIDC) and special hardware in order to complete its launch. (I can run it without those, but only a subset of functionality then works.)

@Zenith said in The Official Status Thread:
Is brain damage a requirement to have a YouTube channel?
I can't say with certainty, as I have avoided creating a channel. Creating a channel is a requirement to any public presence whatsoever on YT, not just posting videos, but to post a comment, or even just / someone else's comment. (You can / a video without one, but not a comment.) There are a handful of channels I'd like to participate in — comment, join the chat of live-streams — but I'm not willing to create a channel.
Given that everyone who posts comments on YT must have a channel, there's clearly a high correlation between having a channel and having brain damage.
