When you're on a website or an app, you look at something (a post, or a part of a UI), and your brain just starts calculating how this was made in your own language.

Like brain, stop, I'm tired, I don't need the calculations right now.

It must be a pain to make a text box with the ability to add bold, italic, heading, etc. you know? All the bold text, italics, and headings would need to be saved in a database column to be retrieved later in their correct positions.

I don't know, I am doing internship learning C# ASP (started 2 months ago), and just got a "Shower Thought" while making an edit post function.

Title before edit: I hate programming, why did i choose this field

TL;DR: Stupid mistake, made by hours waste.

Basically, I was extracting date from the SQL db, and it was not displaying. I tried everything, heck I even went to chatgpt, and copilot. Two and half hours of trying every single thing under the sun, you know what was the issue?

SELECT task, status, id FROM mainWorkSpace WHERE user_id = @user_id

I FUCKING FORGOT TO ADD 'date' TO THE DAMN QUERY. TWO AND HALF HOURS. I was like, "Ain't no way." as I scrolled up to the query and there it was, a slap in the face, and you know what was the fix?

SELECT task, status, date, id FROM mainWorkSpace WHERE user_id = @user_id

Moral of the story, don't become a programmer, become a professional cat herder instead.

Im a MEAN Stack developer and require the following:-

• MongoDB (with MongoDB Compass)
• Express
• Angular
• NodeJS

I need those for my web development job and projects.

I have experience with Ubuntu and Fedora based distros and wanted to use Arch Linux because i like the way Hyprland looked. Just tell me how to install mongodb, the rest can be done with npm.

I am currently making my portfolio site using, Angular, and Bootstrap (with custom CSS), and I really need help designing my website.

I'm learning Full-Stack Development, but I have done enough to become a Front-End Developer.

Please suggest any changes, and I will make an updated post with the progress.

For example, I have been using Google or Apple for 7 years, and seeing that I was fingerprinted, tracked through third-party cookies, etc. I want to switch to a more private option.

But is it worth it? They know about me, they have now AI that can just use the behavior pattern for the last 7 years and still track me.

Again the question comes, should I become "privacy-focused" despite my data before I was "privacy-focused" used and sold?

I am beginner who thought before doing the String Methods section of the course "You know what, let's test my skills". And boy my skills were tested. After I completed the challenge my jaw dropped, with the solution.

Had/Have this happened to y'all. Where you make something complicated and found out that there was a simple solution?

Solution

My Code

I have my father's old work PC (one of those Fujitsu Siemens models) from yesteryears. It features:

• OS: Ubuntu 23.04
• CPU: Intel Core i7-4770 (I forgot the clock speed in GHz).
• RAM: 8 GB DDR3 1600MHz (Single Channel).
• Storage: 128 GB SSD (installed in 2020) & 1 TB HDD (also installed in 2020).
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 620 (or was it GTX?).

I am considering using it as a file server since my laptop only has a 256 GB SSD, and I need more space to store my files on the old PC. But the question is, do I need a home server? When is a home server necessary?

Any sources or information on how to set up a file server with a PC would be greatly appreciated.
