   Just saw someone with an issue where lemmy-ui couldn't connect to localhost:8536/api/v3/site but curl could.
   I figured out why, and all I have to say is: Fuck computers.

     @tyler But can you figure out why? :)

     I don't know what lemmy is but I hate computers because it isn't standard practice to bundle dependencies with stable releases of software, and include good documentation.

     Well you and I simply have different tastes then.
     
     Stable compiled software should never link to dynamic libraries. It frequently results in broken downstream software. When software is released, they should update their static libraries (if needed), test, and release. That way, it runs the same, everywhere, every time.

     @tyler I sure love having 20 copies of a library on my system to update when a security vulnerability is discovered.

     That happens anyway, and the point would be that they wouldn't all be the same version because not every program needs to use every function of every library.
     
     Bandwidth and disk space is cheap.
     Updating a static library to fix a known vulnerability is easy.
     Fixing an unexpected bug from a change in upstream code is much harder.

     Time to rebase all our source code to 2003.
