most people are on windows, so if I make something, it should support that.

I use keepas xc with a ridiculously long password, and I've uploaded it to every device I own and to proton cloud.

Most passwords are randomly generated and 30 chars long.

Thanks, this is the explanation I was looking for.

Also, lua is the same, packages are either written in c or pure lua.

It essentially means, "beware, the software is pretty shit rn".

I was thinking of making a simple SSG (Static Site Generator), and I wanted to make it in lua.
some other cli tools, like scraping scripts as well.

The subreddit's old reddit sidebar description is:

Once upon a time this was a space for IT-related ragecomics. Although we've progressed past that era of the Internet zeitgeist, there's still plenty of rage to commiserate over. Come share whatever it is that drives you to drink during your change control meetings.

OCRs have gotten better.

Sorry, but "there is no wrong one" is how people end up on lemmy.ml

I'm a big fan of what it is, but I'd love if there was something unique people could come here for, I'm describing it terribly though.

It would be nice to hear about it in other places.

There is so many scripts and programs I would have written in lua if this thing worked properly.

The person who published that paper has spent so much of his life trying to inform people that it is flawed.

Same.

hetzner is a very popular cloud hosting provider.

Ah, I'm the one who misread, sorry.

Yeah, compiling things from scratch is the norm for lua packages, making them really only work on linux.

Sorry if it was unclear, I constantly get cryptic gcc errors using luarocks a package manager for lua. Its years behind pip.

I forgot micro existed. Nice editor.

Its a reference to spiders georg, a tumblr joke.

Pip does fail sometimes, but its not half as bad as luarocks.

The instructions don't work half the time.
