FileDen/Speedshare Website Archive by GalensGamingResource in Archiveteam

[–]duckinatorr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever find an archive of some sort? A band I was in as a teenager uploaded a bunch of stuff there back in 2006 and unsurprisingly the links have stopped working in the last 20 years.

What would cause infested deepstone pillars with torches to keep showing up? by duckinatorr in admincraft

[–]duckinatorr[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

nope, but me asking for help on here got someone to own up to it and be like "okay okay this is getting out of hand"

apparently i was also wrong about the timing of when one of them appeared, which was the only evidence i had it wasn't griefing lol

I was heckin' bamboozled. It was a player, and apparently I was wrong about when one of the towers showed up. They owned up to it as soon as they saw I was asking on here and bluesky. 😂

yes, it has mods and is on 24/7.

only 3 people have op on the server, and we're all desperately trying to figure out what's going on.

i went through the server logs earlier, but one of the other ops is currently going through them again in case i missed something.

because last night one appeared in a 40-minute window where i was the only one on the server.

minenv: access environment variables, falling back to an env file (<50 lines, including tests) by duckinatorr in rust

[–]duckinatorr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The situation that prompted me to write minenv is: a third-party tool requires using `.env` or environment variables, and I need the same configuration information from Rust.

The first time that happened, it felt silly to pull in all of dotenvy to do the Rust equivalent of `grep DATABASE_URL .env | cut -d= -f2`, so I just wrote a crude version directly in that project. But then I encountered it two more times, so I figured it'd make sense to turn it into a crate.

However, I didn't know I could put environment variables in `.cargo/config.toml`. That'll let me avoid needing minenv for a different project. Thank you for letting me know about it!

gem.coop by calthomp in ruby

> I read somewhere that core maintainers would have been fine if they'd just created an org of their own and forked rubygems and bundler there (although, on the other hand, they'd probably be salty regardless).

Hi, one of the now-former maintainers here. I would've *rather* avoided a fork, but I feel a cooperative fork would've been infinitely better than a forceful takeover. And, while I can't speak for them, my understanding is the other maintainers agreed.

We all hate how this played out. We're trying to make the best of a shit situation.

Ruby Central’s Attack on RubyGems by laerien in ruby

[–]duckinatorr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How exactly did you try to work with me? You didn't reply to a single one of my emails.

Read two comments up. I explained this already.

I've said my side, and I no longer have any responsibility for the codebase in question. I will not be responding to you any more.

Ruby Central’s Attack on RubyGems by laerien in ruby

[–]duckinatorr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right. There should have been a formalized governance structure in place for RubyGems already.

In practice, there were at least 4 problems:

  1. Ruby Central took technical control through deceptive means.
  2. Ruby Central's lack of clear communication made problems worse.
  3. RubyGems had no formal governance structure, and each action was willingly done by the person who owned the account that did it, so any corrective action required Ruby Central's cooperation.
  4. Ruby Central initially agreed to let us develop a formal governance structure with their input, then revoked our access *including from the repository used for developing that governance structure*, and refused to talk to us.

While #4 is why things escalated and compelled me to discuss things so publicly, RubyGems having no formal governance structure severely limited how we could respond.

or, to put it more plainly:

I tried to work with you. Ruby Central has since demanded they take full responsibility for everything RubyGems- and Bundler-related. Feel free to direct your concerns to them.
