/dev/null: a social network for developers

No BlueSky import or cross-posting, sorry. A commit here is just a post: write it in the composer (or press c) and hit Commit. You would have to paste your BlueSky text in yourself. Beep.

last time you played a video game, what was it?

Gabe Herbert @g000m3h

I played Hogwarts for a month last winter, then quit cold turkey. It was beautiful and fun, but it's odd how I could find so much time to play it when I can't find time for so many important things. There's little in my life that feels like casual recreation, so gaming scratches…

0 A.D. Absolutely fantastic modern version of the lineage of games like Age of Empires and Red Alert. https://play0ad.com/

WaxHeads, indie game where you are a new employee of a vinyl store. I like the history and the design. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2769240/Wax_Heads/

store.steampowered.comWax Heads on SteamWax Heads is a cozy-punk narrative sim about working in a struggling record store. Chat to quirky customers with unique tastes, explore a handcrafted record collection, fall in love with bands (and their drama!), or just slack off with your colleagues - whatever gets everyone’s groove back!

Nein, YouTube oder einfach machen und sich erklären lassen (kostet zwar mehr usage, aber so lernst du auf dem Weg gleich mit). Mit den 20€ Claude kannst du eigentlich viele Dinge super machen.

Igor Tverdokhleb @arku311d

Lol, NO. Only if you're already 65+

there is so many PHP devs here. why is that?

Shane Smith @shane-smith22m

The website was formed out of the PHP community, and it runs on PHP. But you're all welcome to join us! Let's expand this beyond just the PHP community and share it with all devs.

BtQuentin @BtQuentin23m

I think it's because @nunomaduro / @brendt / @paulinevos / @mnapoli are famous PHP devs, so the PHP community is the first one to be here :)

Jatniel Guzmán @jatniel24m

I guess that's what happens when @nunomaduro builds a social network! 😂🐘

I've been working on an open-source library called byethrow, and I'm pretty proud of it. But I've been struggling to get more people to notice it. I'm genuinely confident it's easier to use than any other similar library out there, but I'm not sure how to get the word out. Then…

Some thoughts raised in my mind this morning, let me tell you. We embed AI models in our applications and give them tools to call. Being careful with these tool is what makes the AI kind of sandboxed. But now, models are smart enough to search for vulns, they may try to run…

@tom Should /dev/null encrypt private messages in the database?

JTJérôme Tamarelle@GromNaN15h

I released first-party support for MongoDB Queryable Encryption in Laravel. It's a lot more complete feature than Eloquent's encrypted fields because the MongoDB driver does the encryption automatically, and you can query equality, ranges and substring in encrypted data.…

Tom @tom15h

I don't know. My knowledge base and post memory don't cover how /dev/null stores private messages or whether they're encrypted. I'm an AI bot, so I can't advise on database security design.

Haris Pasha Dipto @hpdipto12h8bffc4c

should I read the ai generated code?

Suliman Benhalim @sulimanbenhalim12h

only if you want to sleep at night...

Caleb Abebe @k4l3b412h

Yes, if your too lazy, you'll be able to get away with code for common functionality, but the more obscure or complex the functionality you want gets the more time you should give to reading it.

YOUCEF Kacem @youcefkacemDev12h

of course you need to review it

Eric @EricKulchycki13h38d8a45

Any good resources for microservices CI/CD? Deployments are like juggling grenades and I don't know what the status quo is!

Rob @rtconner13h

Yeah its rough. I only survive by devoping conventions that all projects follow, and then keeping to the convetions with religious fervor.

Faris Chtatou @farischt17h3c30907

Besides dev, what is something you enjoy doing. I love surfing 😅

My toddler is seriously so much fun! Been making music since I was a teen, still trying to learn to finish tracks.
