Update: The original dev does not remember exactly. However they have said that clientId was originally a VARCHAR, so this may have been checking for both '0' or ''

So an over-engineered workaround to a bad datatype perhaps?

I forgot to mention this is in SQL Server, so SIN operates on radians. So I THINK this can only ever cast to a 0 when clientId is also 0

It certainly doesn’t for any of the 100,000 existing rows

The client table has around 100,000 rows each with a unique clientId, none of which are returned from the CAST / ABS / SIN

I think you are right and this is a ‘fix’ for something lost to time. I am going to talk to the original dev tomorrow to see if they remember what it was for

Thank you so much, I’ll check it out!

Absolutely, it’s a great read. Could you link the video you watched?

I would love to give gifts to anyone here

I am from Australia, and I travel between Queensland and South Australia regularly

This is in my nearby list

This is in my profile

I think it is a bug and here’s why

I have setup a lemmy instance to understand how it works and hopefully contribute something meaningful

My instance has 2 users, both are subscribed to the same cross-instance community, but only one is showing Subscribe Pending even if I un-sub and re-sub

I am not aware of any approval system to subscribe to a community, so I believe the approval was received the community instance, but the “accept” response data was missed / dropped when returning to your host instance

Let me make sure I understand first

1. You are attempting to passwordlessly SSH from Window to a group of servers using Powershell
2. Something stopped working and you regenerated your Windows SSH keys

i added my private key, and tried to connect

This concerns me, as the server should have the user’s public key, not private. Private should be exactly that, private

Is the Powershell user / SSH key the same as the Putty user / SSH key that still works?

When you run the Powershell script, does it give any error messages?

I know with Linux -> Linux SSH you can log verbosely with -v, is that something you can do under Powershell?

Is password auth enabled? Does that still work from Putty, and can you do the same from Powershell?

Yeah mate, you are right “doesn’t work” is pretty useless, lucky I didn’t say that

I said I have code that does compile in one specific compiler but doesn’t in another specific one, and asked if anyone had ever encountered that before

And 2 days ago when someone mentioned that I didn’t include the actual error, I apologised and then included it

On the website, or on an app?

I have posted half a dozen things from the Jerboa app and not encountered this

Maybe something like “Drone Techno”?

Oh yeah, I remember listening to that when they only had around 5 episodes

They still do the high-pitched beep when you start or stop I see haha

Thank you

@orbit@beehaw.org just suggested this 24-hour cyberpunk playlist to me too

Over 24 hours of Cyberpunk music?!?! Oh my god Thank You!!!

Thank you, I will check them out!

Two of my old favourites were the Frozen Synapse OST and Dune: Spice Opera (although not technically a soundtrack)

Glad you like it, I will definitely check out Citizen Sleeper!

Raiding my memory banks, I remember the Frozen Synapse OST to be amazing too

Wow there is a lot there! Thank you

I will listen to a few at work this week
