As a sysadmin I have sadly encountered too many situations where a programmer thought “oh, this will never happen” to agree with you that a code construct that provides no information to the user should be used in such cases.

No, I actually meant it as in the traditional meaning of literally. As in

[lints.clippy]
unwrap_used = "warn"
expect_used = "warn"

along with a pre-commit hook that does

cargo clippy -D warnings

(deny warnings).

There are always better ways to write an unwrap, usually via pattern matching and handling the error cases properly, at the very least logging them.

There are a few very questionable things in there. Unwrap should literally never appear in production code so if your code base uses it so often that you want a short-hand syntax for it that calls into doubt everything else you wrote.

In 99% of those cases you would want it to resolve .. components though.

const expressions are evaluated at compile time and can be used in locations where you would have to otherwise specify a literal (or something that amounts to a named literal like a const value).

It is pretty shit at remembering search filters in general, e.g. the Linux platform filter or the co-op filter constantly reset for me and have for years.

Most likely it is going to be one of those AAA games too and they are all shit anyway in recent years.

it is not as if used PCs with year old components aren’t cheaper than new ones. The console is significantly worse here because the subscription prices do not get reduced by anything because the hardware is older.

The hated minority being inferior but also immensely powerful is a pretty standard feature of anti-minority world views of all kinds. It is pretty much required to justify the extreme actions they want to take against the minority.

Those are not VPS specs, that is more the kind where you would get a dedicated hardware server at a hoster. Hosting your own becomes much more viable the larger your operation becomes.

IPv6 binds on wildcard addresses include binding to the IPv4 addresses.

What does ss -tlnp return? Does the process listen on any ports?

That should only affect ports below 1024.

I made it to about episode 5 with Discovery (the one with the security officer getting mauled because she walked into that cage with the wild animal unarmed) by actively giving it more chances than it deserved, not sure how you managed to watch a whole two seasons of it.

Your two bind addresses might be in conflict with each other since [::]:5234 includes binding to the first one.

Which is why I said “on price”. Obviously that is only one of the factors but don’t kid yourself into thinking that your local server will ever be cheaper. It might have many other advantages but price just won’t be one of them.

Electricity isn’t free and nor is your time, you are never going to beat commercial VPS hosters on price.

While it might be reasonable to expect a web page to behave the way you describe, for anything more in web application territory the expectation that everything you ever loaded will stay visible somehow and available without cooperation of the code implementing the website is ridiculous.

A lot of software writes to log files or temporary files or lock files or database transaction logs as part of its normal function and when those writes fail due to a full disk the software doesn’t work anymore.

Python packaging and stability is a total mess. It has gotten to the point where I just look for alternative tools when I find out something new I found is written in Python.
