just when i needed a https cert letsencrypt is down https://letsencrypt.status.io/

LetsEncrypt Certificate Issuance Halted

08:21

hackernews is with me

08:21

i got my cert already btw

08:22

pro tip: renew ur certs days before the expiration

08:22

not at the last days

08:22

imagine this happens then

08:22

monkalaugh

Actually, certbot renew should be in crontab and it should auto-renew all certs much earlier than a day. This was the main promise of letsencrypt, getting a certificate totally automated

08:27

Being for free is just a side-effect of this: Since you can't forget to pay, you won't get a broken certificate for not paying

08:28

(ddnet.tw still had a certificate failure recently, but I'm not sure what happened there, might have been a cloudflare issue instead)

ye i do it automatically

08:28

i never renewed it manually

08:28

but i saw some comments on hn

08:28

xD

08:30

@deen actually certbot is not part of letsencrypt as is

08:31

letsencrypt actually lists multiple clients for renewal, etc

ACME Client Implementations

Last updated: Oct 31, 2021 | See all Documentation Let’s Encrypt uses the ACME protocol to verify that you control a given domain name and to issue you a certificate. To get a Let’s Encrypt certificate, you’ll need to choose a piece of ACME client software to use. The ACME clients below are offered by third parties. Let’s Encrypt does not contro...

here is the list

Let’s Encrypt does not control or review third party clients and cannot make any guarantees about their safety or reliability.

golang

ah no python

13:09

golang is more blue white

Python I can tolerate as long as it's something I never have to tinker with

after using rust i rly dislike golang error handling

13:09

feels dirty

13:09

and wrong

a good blog post on why golang is badly thought https://fasterthanli.me/articles/i-want-off-mr-golangs-wild-ride

Any error handling after rust feels pretty sad

u should read it

13:10

(btw this guy is one of the best rust bloggers)

13:10

imho

13:10

tho his articles can take more than an hour to read xd

That's the way I like my articles

it has one about C and utf8 and people that complain about rust having 2 types for strings: String and &str

13:12

rly good too

They need to take as long as possible so I can get away from my miserable existence

https://fasterthanli.me/articles/working-with-strings-in-rust

13:12

@Learath2 read this

13:13

it has C on it

13:13

only 75 mins

13:13

monkalaugh

If it's C hate you need to give me a trigger warning

idk if its c hate

13:17

cuz its just stating truths

13:18

monkalaugh

oh, fasterthanli.me

13:20

good way to spend an hour or two understanding rust's async e.g.

true

Okay this article is silly. I started only depressed now I’m annoyed and depressed

13:52

Did you know that in a language that has no concept of unicode, handling unicode requires you to do it yourself SMH

13:54

Or get this, a language with automatic memory management is easier to use correctly than one with manual memory management. Revolutionary

That was (part of) an environment variable! Those are stored right next to the program's arguments in glibc, the GNU C library.

13:54

isn't that the linux kernel that does this?

Learath2

Or get this, a language with automatic memory management is easier to use correctly than one with manual memory management. Revolutionary

well the article explains why rust aproach is better

Did you know if you cast away const you could break things? My mans saying this like all C programmers cast away const daily. In the decade I’ve been programming in C I have not seen more than 3 instances of people casting const away

@Learath2 iirc this article was made cuz there were a lot of c devs saying uh duh rust has 2 types of a string etc

All in beginner quesitons

the str searching functions in C casually cast const away

monkalaugh

13:59

#include <stddef.h> void *memchr(const void *s, int c, size_t n) { unsigned char p = (unsigned char)s; while( n-- ) if( *p != (unsigned char)c ) p++; else return p; return 0; }

13:59

https://clc-wiki.net/wiki/C_standard_library:string.h:memchr

C standard library:string.h:memchr

Idk what this kind of article is called but I hate it. Coding in one language like a braindead flipflop and comparing it to another without artificially hindering themselves

@Learath2 did u fully read it tho?

14:00

i bet not

I’m like one paragraph away from finishing it

cuz he implements the utf8 in c too later

14:00

ah

14:01

i knew u would get kinda triggered xd

toupper(0) = 0 sounds reasonable

The fact that String and &str exists can be justified without the need to pull in an another language and code in it like a baboon

I mean it's the identity for all non-letters, including U+0000, I guess

in fact, rust does the same:

14:34

> cat a.rs
fn main() {
    println!("{:?}", "\0".to_uppercase());
}

14:34

$ ./a
"\u{0}"

I bet there is some ambiguity in the standard he is talking about there

Lucky toupper has no way to return an error and just returns 0 for 0, right? Or maybe 0 is what it returns on error? Who knows! It's a C API! Anything is possible.

Converted character or ch if no uppercase version is defined by the current C locale.

14:39

sounds pretty clearcut to return 0 if passed 0

14:40

the function is a bit ouch though

14:40

it's UB to call it with a signed char or a char that is signed

14:40

https://en.cppreference.com/mwiki/index.php?title=cpp/string/byte/toupper&oldid=94327

cpp/string/byte/toupper

Is it the case in C too or is it some C++ oddity?

I usually assume that these things are the same in C and C++, let me double-check

14:44

in the c11 standard, there's no UB

14:45

ah well

14:45

what is "a character"?

Heh, yeah those things can be a little vague

14:46

Maybe check the definitions at the start?

doing so rn

14:46

character 〈abstract〉 member of a set of elements used for the organization, control, or representation of data

14:48

I don't know what to do with this

is there a way to save settings without closing the client? if not can we get one? :)

no :)

[ddnet/ddnet] Pull request opened: #4395 Update str_utf8_stats documentation, minor refactoring

This removes the check for the null-terminator from the while loop, as this is also checked in str_utf8_forward, which returns an unchanged size in this case. The comparison new_size != *size was previously redundant for that reason. Update comments and add some empty lines for consistency. @heinrich5991

Is there a tutorial for ubuntu ddnet server setup?

deen

22:10

typing..

22:10

justatest

download version for linux from ddnet.tw, extract, run ./DDNet-Server (potentially in screen so it keeps running after you close your connection)

ufw allow 8303 and server working fine

22:17

I can't seem to find config file

data/autoexec_server.cfg

Forgive my ignorance, I've only created servers for source engine games before.

thats not called ignorance

Turkish community needs gores server and I want to provide it.

22:23

Every Turkish player who wants to play gores has to enter German servers.

22:23

What procedure do I need to validate my server?

The checkmark you mean? That is only for official DDNet and KoG servers

22:24

so only the ones I run and Avolicious runs

I don't know exactly how ddnet global work. Many players in Turkey suggested that I open a server. Because they wanted a gores server in Turkey.

22:26

So if I can do something like authenticate/certify my server I would like to do that.

No, you could ask Avolicious to run a KoG server in Turkey

22:31

or you can run your own, but then the ranks are not connected

22:31

and it's only on Internet tab, not KoG
