See my spoilered reply. 9-10 stitches and they had to cauterize it. So...not great.

@polygeekery Man. One time, I cut my finger on a spinning bike wheel's disk brake. Straight across the nail and halfway through the bone.

Ouch ouch. Well at least you didn't miss harder and chop into your leg out in the middle of the woods. It wasn't me, but I understand it was even less fun driving two hours on rocky roads...

Interesting tidbit: 317 people survived in the USS Indianapolis disaster. Indianapolis' area code is 317. This is nothing more than a coincidence. Completely unrelated as best I could ever tell.

@polygeekery Nothing is ever a coincidence.

Status: Trying to figure out why nginx isn't applying my redirect logic. I have the following:
server { ... index index.php index.html; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ @rewrite ;# =404; } ... location @rewrite { # Some modules enforce no slash (/) at the end of the URL # Else this rewrite block wouldn't be needed (GlobalRedirect) rewrite \/.*([^\/]+)\/? /index.php?id=$1 last; } }
Everything works for the static files and directly-addressed php files, but if I enter a URL like
http://myhost/stream/
it still only looks for/stream/index.php
and (because that doesn't exist) returns 404...WTF am I doing wrong?

Accidental match-many, but the real problem was the bodgy CORS thing I didn't think would have anything to do with matching file names:
if ($request_method = 'GET') { add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*'; add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' 'true'; add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, POST, OPTIONS'; add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'DNT,X-Mx-ReqToken,Keep-Alive,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type'; }
How in the HELL does that break the
try_files
handling?FFS!

Pure conjecture though, I avoid updates when possible.
Oh, you're one of those people.
I've never benefited from 96 percent of updates. The only thing I usually apply is antivirus definitions.
Edit: Besides, when this is all that happens when I try, I tend to get jaded:
0x80242006 is my goddamn nemesis. It keeps happening on random domain computers and requires manually updating/reset to fix. I think I've managed to narrow it down to some sort of cryptographic failure when the updates are downloaded but I can't narrow it down any further. If you tether a mobile phone to the machine it always fixes the problem.
At this point I'm strongly leaning towards some sort of upstream caching being involved.
The official guidance is that its a Software Distribution database corruption issue which is a load of rubbish, or at the very least not the only possible cause.

This is where Vigil sets itself apart from weaker languages that lack the courage of their convictions. When a Vigil program is executed, Vigil itself will monitor all oaths (implorations and swears) that have been made. If an oath is broken, the offending function (the caller in the case of implore and the callee in the case of swear) will be duly punished.
How?
Simple: it will be deleted from your source code.

Reopened over the weekend. "Doesn't match PRD".
What doesn't?
(opens PRD, looks at relevant section)
Would someone please tell us when the fucking spec changes???

So far, Mr. Alexander has failed to impress me, but that may be because he is talking a lot about 'beauty' and 'harmony' - two properties I have never experienced, in architecture, software design, or anything else, and which I am not convinced exist at all.
You might try a hobby that doesn't involve computers. Art, music and chess all have both when done well.

Status: So, last night I beat the Dragonball FighterZ story mode. It was pretty well done overall, despite being a bit too repetitive. It also got easier as I went through it, because the final story mode let me play as Android 18.

No wonder it's talking things it shouldn't if it's high.

I suspect that it is more (to paraphrase Fredrick Pohl) "I look at a banquet and can only think of what the food will be the next morning".
Or, as I recently told someone, the reason I don't see the glass as half empty is because I am too busy looking for the cracks in it.

I was mainly talking about the software's UI, not the WM. Just doing a little blakey-style anti-OSS trolling. I'm not all that sensitive to the WM interface. I go back and forth between Windows 10 and MacOS enough to be pretty insensitive to such things (except I dislike MacOS).

Yeah, there are bots that just go around the internet trying random hacker-like HTTP requests to see what sticks. They don't really cause any trouble for most servers unless you're running some kind of weird open proxy or custom HTTP server with a lot of serious bugs.

Status: Finally finished doing my tax return after starting in early Jan. I hate the Gov.Verify identity system so very much, half the services refuse to believe I'm me at all.
The website fails and logs you out every other 'page' in your tax return too and you have to go though the hateful identity verification to log back in. Except when it seems to forget I'm using Gov.Verify and demands 'Government Gateway' credentials, which I've never had and can't get, hard refreshing or clearing the session and starting again is the only way to fix that behavior.The only saving grace is that the automatic save of what you enter does work very well and I never lost anything I entered. All that to give the government the 100 quid extra over the automatic tax collection that I owe them.
