Not strictly necessary, but it was fun creating a mini-terminal simulation!

Now I want to order by ascending ok: ORDER BY ASC great

Now let's order by descending because as always I mix them up

ORDER BY DSC

ERROR: syntax error at or near "DSC"

kill me now

it's DESC btw

What's wrong with this query?
SELECT * FROM table ORDER_BY updated_at LIMIT 10;

...

ORDER_BY should be ORDER BY - wtf SQL why

Just completed a rolling upgrade to Redis 7 on Production (with no downtime of course).

Anyone else get a terrible sinking feeling every time they make big changes in Production?

@Franky47 two reasons: spam/phishing emails (sometimes we have to look back if to moderate senders appropriately), and for users to check what was sent in the dashboard recently

@pdenya @Franky47 this morning I started to refactor to pass the config as a variable, and for some modules the pattern works well (if I have an initialiser/constructor function), but for others the entire module is expected to be initialised at run time. So to avoid adding an init function to those modules, I’ll probably leave some as imports.

I’ll open source this product in a few weeks, hopefully!

@Franky47 yes, this makes the most sense, thanks!!

In Typescript, what's the best way to load a config across multiple modules? Should you do this in every module that needs the config:

`import config from ''./config.js"`

OR should you import the config once and pass the config as a variable to any functions that need it? e.g.

```
import config from ''./config.js"
startServiceA(config);
startServiceB(config);
...
```

Do I have any followers who play chess? Looking for correspondence players over at lichess

Our identities are too closely coupled to the medium (your #mastodon handle exists on your server, your #pixelfed handle exists only on pixelfed etc.).

We should separate identity into one of two options, a DNS based identity (e.g. like email, and how mastodon lets us bring our own domain), or a pub/private key (ala https://nostr.com/). The identity should be portable between services and allow apps to aggregate content into one interface, kind of like how OpenID was supposed to be...
