| ossabot: | Logged on 2020-04-09 17:57:03 trinque: I worked for a guy once that very much did believe everything was better off living in the database, including all that. | [06:28] |
| diana_coman: | http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/22/ossasepia-logs-for-09-Apr-2020#1024061 - jfw, note that billymg brought up the things that are accessible/changeable currently via the UI, under Settings; and I went and looked there yesterday - there are things such as blog title, tagline, date and time format | [06:29] |
| ossabot: | Logged on 2020-04-09 17:40:05 jfw: http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/22/ossasepia-logs-for-09-Apr-2020#1023964 - this is true of course, "it's all just a bunch of ones and zeros anyway!" but I argue there is a meaningful distinction, similar to "code vs. data" even though code is a kind of data, and whether or not correctly realized as filesystem vs sql. Perhaps better put as presentation vs. content. | [06:29] |
| diana_coman: | otoh looking at the current wp-config.php, it's short and sweet, with a bunch of configs for Wordpress to know where & what db it's meant to use; which yes, it's where it should be and fine as it is but I do NOT want to have in there now crammed all the obscurantist knobs from settings, no | [06:32] |
| diana_coman: | jfw: in short, no, I am not pushing for some db-extremism, everything lives in the db, db config itself and circular definitions be damned; I am however pushing for keeping configs to a minimum, for moving indeed ALL content (that includes the blog title and the tagline(s), ffs!) and for NOT carrying blindly over "knobs and settings" just because "users are used to them". | [06:35] |
| diana_coman: | for moving indeed ALL content to the DB* | [06:38] |
| diana_coman: | (in principle I wouldn't even mind it all that much to move it instead all to the filesystem - the point is all in ONE place - but there are some advantages to choosing db over filesystem, at least currently so I'd stick with moving it all to the db) | [06:39] |

| diana_coman: | sonofawitch is my experimental bot in ~140 lines of code total (and no shitty flasks and whatnots); I'll let it hang around to see how it behaves; feel free to poke it I guess. | [16:17] |

| trinque: | would be interested to see this wonder | [16:22] |
