For a personal tool that runs locally I can handle some bloat in the name of safety!

Awesome, thanks for the info. Definitely super useful for debug mode whilst I'm fixing and tampering!
Because I'm relatively new at this type of thing, how does that appear on the front end? I'm using a js/html front end and a jsnode backend. Would I just see a popup before I make any changes?
I did when I made the query a year ago. Dumdum sleep deprived brain thought it would look more organised this way
Me only know caveman. Not have big brain only smooth brain
Thanks, I'll look into it! I'm interested in why you got downvoted though! 😅
It is after the event that I find that postgres' WAL journalling is off by default 🙃
Oh I did that like a year ago.
And then last night had an error that led me back near this code and stupidly thought "hey it'd look neater if those numbers were in order"
My only education is a super helpful guy from Reddit who taught me the basics of setting up a back end with nodejs and postgres. After that it's just been me, the references and stack overflow.
I have NO education about actual practises and protocol. This was just a tool I made to make my work easier and faster, which I check in and update every few months to make it better.
I just open vscode, run node server.js to get started, and within server.js is a direct link to my database using the SQL above. It works, has worked for a year or two, and I don't know any other way I should be working. Happy to learn though!
(but of course this has set me back so much it would have been quicker not to make the tool at all)
I look at "everything" and it shows everything people around the world have made, good and bad, how dare they!
I want to use zero amount of effort and have it catered to exactly what I like! But I don't want to be tracked or have any algorithms knowing what I like!
Every single comment and post anyone ever names and anything they are subscribed to. Run everyone’s content through some sentiment analysis, and now you have a great set of users, emails and their commonly used IP, grouped into interests, general mood, and political leanings, perfect for advertising.
But if it’s just sat there silently data gathering, nobody would know?
So if I make an instance, I can scrape all the content and gather data on every user and sell it to Cambridge analytica?
A type of bean
Do you think spez was good once?
What’s to stop .world “defederating” and cutting all the new users off completely.
It’s an odd platform and one that feels like it could all fall apart to someone completely new to it all.
That’s great to hear, it looks really nice, so I was expecting £200 not £50!
Seems pretty cheap, and the top seller I see in Google is temu which just gives me sus vibes
I'm up to 537 lines of server code, 2278 lines in my script, and 226 in my API interfacing, I'm actually super proud of it haha.
But you're totally right, there are things I read that I just have no clue what they even mean or if I should know it, and probably use all the wrong terminology. I feel like I should probably go back to the start and find a course to teach me properly. I've probably learned so many bad habits. It doesn't help that I learned JS before ES6 so I need to force myself not to use var and force myself to understand and use arrow functions.
I absolutely know that the way I've written the program will make some people cringe, but I don't know any better. There are a few sections where I'm like "would that actually be what a real, commercial web app would do, or have I convoluted everything?"
For example, the entire thing is just one 129-line html file. I just hide and unhide divs when I need a new page or anything gets changed. I'm assuming that's a bad thing, but it works, it looks good, and I don't know any better!
