Guess it’s time for another playthrough.

For-jeh-joe. Forge-joe?

I think I mispronounce it, “Forgeio,” to be honest.

Nice try, Special Agent.

This (along with basically all instances with communick news behind them) is a classic example of scaling up prematurely.

When this community is brimming with so much content that users start to “miss” posts about [thing x] because there are so many posts about [thing y], then you make offshoot communities, not before.

Using the template syntax you can start by copy/pasting the site to be migrated, and then inject sections that render using markdown syntax.

What templating languages do you know already, and are you running 11ty v3? There are some gotchas around images because (I think) the eleventy-image plugin is enabled by default.

I’ve found success running with .webc which is effectively HTML until you need it to be more.

Shout out to my fellow “None Backup Strategies” chaos goblins.

All of these mods were (are?) available to people willing to fork over extra cash to have their own controllers made via Xbox Design Lab.

Scolded me for swearing at it.

“You’ll fucking know when I’m swearing at you,” was my reply to that shit the last time I gave it a spin (after it regurgitated nonsense after many prompts specifically asking for not nonsense).

Counterpoint: If you think you said something stupid, you’re entitled to delete it. Don’t feel obligated to hang your ass out there and take a beating for a cold take.

The answer has been “No” a few times and boy does that suck.

“No one has ever attempted something so convoluted/silly/impossible before. Guess we get to see if we’re actually programmers or not.”

I made sure answering, “Has someone figured this out already?” is a formal step in defining project scope at my company.

In my experience, and in the experience of my coworkers/contemporaries, our formal education taught us how to program which is distinct from which language we program in. For instance, my Java dev friend learned to program in C++ because that’s what was being instructed. I was forced to learn ActionScript 2 and then was forced to migrate to ActionScript 3, because that’s what was being taught. The experience of programming something and iterating on it was far more valuable than knowing a language like C++ or ActionScript.

Languages come and go, some faster than others, and you’ll eventually get to a point where your personal preferences stop mattering as much as which language is best for the task at hand.

PHP is dead. Long live PHP.

Here’s the mod’s website.

Okay, so, FOSS.

If WordPress doesn’t want WP Engine doing what it’s doing, they need to change their license. It’s not “Free Open Source Software Until Something We Don’t Like Happens.”

Amazon SES is dirt cheap, billed per-send, you just need to bring the Everything Else with something like Mailcoach or Sendy.

This can be made even simpler by installing all the repos you want to mirror as submodules of the parent directory’s git repository. Instead of many git pull or git fetch, you blast a single git submodule update --recursive --remote and go about your day.

Bonus: This has the added benefit of generating a git history for your automated process if you script in a commit message with a timestamp, making your mirrors reversible.

Buzzfeed News did not suck.

Favorite: Nintendo 3DS XL. I never would have thought a resistive touchscreen would last that long. What an absolute beating that thing took.

Dogshit: Microsoft Sidewinder Game Pad Pro (1999 edition). Motherfucker didn’t know up from left.

TL;DR - This waterfall of word vomit makes no mention of contemporary PHP-based CMS and can be ignored entirely.
