the one time you're supposed to actually fucking use ASN.1 they.. go and use plaintext for simplicity.
its like red hat trains them wrong, as a joke.
idk its 'fine' but like
why
there is no goddamn reason to null terminate anything. put the fucking size in the header.
DO IT NOW. it cost like two bytes.
two bytes
"Everything is a double"
is happening
this is also how elementary's "contractor" system works, roughly, through a combination of stashing to temp and an IPC call.
sending large binaries in the message queue is frowned upon in general, but smol ones sometimes get sent when asked for, but json is strictly awful at this. (arguably, so would STOMP.)
Heintjins had little nice to say about them (he made a beautiful XML template engine and they.. ignored it, because lol xslt, then shit the bed because xslt sucks.)

@sun @s8n @icedquinn @wzqtparor i think that there is a lot of truth to the whole bad-ppl-in-tech idea, mit is funded by ppl like epstein, we have the paypal mafia now funding presidential runs, cough trump, we had buttergeig use a proprietary voting app designed to undermine primaries, we got encrpytion in the 90s and now there is a massive army of datacenters built by govt designed to attack popular sits and services using encrpytion, we have gnome behind fastly, the same fastly serving palantir, private mercenaries that use facial recog to go after protestors and dissidents, etc. you have people still in 2024 using gothub AT ALL after they started steal FOS code. i mean that last point is bad enuf. they go after the children aggressively too, in my years it was about getting them on microsoft and today its google. today they want us wrapped in wearables, in case we fall over and hurt ourselves, these are situations that have been solves generations ago with much simpler tech.
i think at some point we just need to say MOST people in tech are bad or HEAVILY corrupted people.
recently a usb was unplugged in an unsafe way by a friend and in 2024 it basically made his entire system unstable. this is 2024, folks. this is using gnome software. it didn't have any error messages it just breaks things on the pc. try to plug it in again and it just fails without explaining why. the only way to stop us going backwards is to develop anonymously, zero trust. i feel like we are letting bad code into systems because we trust too much.
@s8n @icedquinn @wzqtparor @sun anyone in tech not crying out to FOS all the tools is a tool. i wish them a very, very, VERY bad day.
That was caused by badly written documentation, but what's even worse about this is that one systemd maintainer (Debian dev) actively said that this is the intended behavior, closed few MRs that fixed some of it and downplayed the issue as social media drama created by well known trolls.
The thing where they delete /var/tmp content on a timer is a different issue in some distributions that implemented it.

It all glows. Logs are binary to make them harder to grep using trustworthy tools.
what happens if i want to query album art from the music player to put in a dock (something you actually use the IPC hub for)? base64 encode it? why? because
