C is also faster than JavaScript, uses less memory, and memory safety isn’t impossible in C either. I wouldn’t consider a scripting language to even be a choice for writing a backend server if I can use a compiled language instead.

I wrote myself a new python script for a palworld server I run. Wanted to figure out a generic way to track active connections without running something in front of the daemon. That’s easy to do for TCP, but since UDP has no concept of an established connection, the regular tools wouldn’t work. Realized I could use conntrack to get the linux firewalls connection tracking data, which works outside of tcp/udp concepts and maintains its own active connection state based on timeouts, which is what I was gonna do anyways. Now I can issue SIGSTOP/SIGCONT to keep buildings from degrading on the server when nobody’s online to deal with it, along with saving the cpu resources of an empty game server. Rather niche project, but I figured I’d publish it anyways. https://github.com/sugoidogo/pausepal

What’s wrong with GrapheneOS?

I’m curious, here in America all the police dramas on TV are largely pro-police narratives, with storylines that paint defense lawyers, internal affairs, those who invoke their right to silence or a lawyer, etc, as people who make the good guy’s job harder rather than a system to combat police abuse of power. Are European police dramas any different in that respect? I don’t know the differences between how police operate in the US vs in European countries, but I’m curious if it’s still largely an overly pro-cop narrative
