I’m gonna level with you guys. I made a view tracker for my website in PHP and I’m chasing a really obscure bug where it wipes out all the accumulated views but it’s like one of those 1 in 5000 chance bugs so now I’m just uploading this here to try and accumulate some views so it might happen while I’m looking at it… Sorry; enjoy the picture

    My Apache container needs to be as squeaky clean as possible. Rust and Python are not clean

    How is Rust not clean? You don’t need to install Rust in your container - just compile your program and put the binary in the container, no installation of anything else needed.

      Because now I have to compile rust and cross-compiling from Windows to Linux is a mess I don’t wanna deal with. I don’t want to spin up a whole container just to compile for Linux.

      At any rate, the problem is solved and I’m just optimizing it for speed now, which is entirely disk IO so I’m converting it to using an in-memory DB and then it’ll be fast enough to handle a thousand times more traffic than I’ve ever gotten.

      I’m not a programmer, I’m just a photographer who doesn’t wanna deal with chunky gallery systems.

        That’s fair, though honestly cross-compiling Rust isn’t that hard. You could also just use Windows Subsystem for Linux to compile for Linux. But totally fair using whatever works for you of course.
