post has it’s own count, this was about a user’s vote history in their profile

which aren’t? btw, this post has 7, now 8.

array votes[post_id, vote]; // for storing in user profile not public but can be hashed if you don’t trust your dba

seems trivial to check for a login/subscribed etc. then increment up//down votes. why link each vote to an account in public? maybe for mods an account(s) to be banned for botting votes?

I hired into a community college IT dept ~2000. Manager told me they were a Windows shop. Ha np. I proceeded to replace 3/4 of their server room with Linux. email, cd servers, file servers, web servers, db2, PeopleSoft(gack!). I was working on a cs degree which they paid for about half

replaced a $20,000 cd rack with 15 cd drives + windows os for network sharing, with a desktop PC running redhat(bureaucracy wanted a support contract). Ripped all their cds w/ dd bash script I wrote for automating add/delete cds for the non-cli types.

I thank win95 lockups for pushing me into linux.

buy one, live in it, buy another, rent one. not usually a job, already have one thanks.

m&d are dumb. lied about santa claus. why was I born

they were a thing when I lived in Texas in the late 70s. A guy I worked with had a big yellow Ford with 5’ high tires. Everyone had pickups. I had a Datsun pickup with DOHC sounded like it would blow up at 60 but smoothed out again at 70. commutes were wild
