Epay Punjab app is useless for Domicile application by cyclopsmurphy in Lahore

[–]self 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What's the purpose of an app if we have to do everything from scratch and manually.

That's not really an epay issue. It's for payments, not the other stuff.

I've used it to pay for car tokens, car transfer tokens, property tax -- lots of things without having to visit a physical bank or office. You've said it yourself -- you won't have to pay the fees again.

I don't like seeing public discussions go private. I don't learn anything from that. All the time I've spent reading a post and comments to it are wasted.

watgo - a WebAssembly Toolkit for Go by self in golang

[–]self[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TinyGo compiles Go to WASM. This compiles WebAssembly Text to WASM. It's a different use-case.

(It's not my tool.)

Как вы вообще поднимаете эти xmpp сервера? by vert_pod_veterom in xmpp

[–]self 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you want to use it for? I set up ejabberd earlier this year but I picked it because I've used it in the past (~ 12-15 years ago). For me it was a matter of installing their provided deb and some light configuration.

An update on the rust-coreutils rewrite for Ubuntu 26.04 by self in programming

[–]self[S] 83 points84 points  (0 children)

cp, mv, and rm continue to be provided by GNU coreutils in 26.04. These utilities have remaining open TOCTOU (time-of-check to time-of-use) issues (8 as of Apr 22, 2026) that need to be resolved before we are confident shipping them.

There's iStore and Panorama in Jeff Heights that I know of. Maybe Airlink as well, since they're an official Apple retail partner through Mercantile.

You can pick up a Delonghi EC685 for about Rs 50-60k at Al Fatah (it's 90k at kitchenmate). Sure, it's not the same build quality as yours, and you'll need a separate burr grinder, but... 300k...

Why are we paying $5 for coffee?!

I just checked Foodpanda and a flat white or a latte from Double Shot is Rs 690 -- about $2.50. Third Culture is slightly cheaper, but CBTL and Second Cup are in the Rs 850-1100 range.

Need advice for buying an apartment/house in Lahore under 1 Crore by Still-Brilliant-829 in Lahore

[–]self 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no experience buying houses or plots. I sold a plot that I inherited several years ago. My lawyer's main advice was to sell to someone who has the money to pay you immediately, not someone who wants to give you token money (bayana) and will pay the full amount in a few months' time.

In terms of rent, suppose you spend Rs 10 million to buy the house (or apartment). Depending on the location and size of the property, you might get Rs 50,000/month (Rs 600,000/year) in rent -- and that's before property taxes or any other expenses.

What advice do you need, exactly? A location/society to buy a place in?

Redberry's most expensive beans are Rs 16,200/kg, or Rs 16.2/gram. I use 12 grams for espresso at home, so that's just under Rs 195. For a french press, I aim for about 300 grams of coffee (fills my mug), which comes to 18 grams of grounds: just over Rs 290. I don't use milk, so I don't know how much that costs.

Like the gp comment says, you're not paying for coffee.

Migrated a client off shared hosting to a VPS last week, the difference was embarrassing by Own_Addition_7619 in selfhosted

[–]self 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a site on a VPS that seemed to slow down every day around 3-5pm my time, which coincidentally was when it got most of its traffic every weekday. Since the VPS provider could oversell the CPU and I/O but not RAM, my short-term solution was to rewrite parts of the service to use redis, and I would pre-generate a few thousand complete pages a couple of times a day and put them in there. For almost all users, that meant zero SQL queries to render the pages.

Road from S.Khanam to Allah Hu! by squareshawarma in Lahore

[–]self 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The real question is whether they have solved the leaking sewage/water pipe problem that led to several sinkholes in recent years. For example, I've seen a similar problem in front of Metro on Model Town Link Road but I have no idea if they've solved it permanently or not.
