I remember when games would’t work with wine, complaining about some dll, I would get it from some random shady site and drop into the wine system dir. Some of the times, it worked, to even my own surprise
“DLL finder”, holy shit I remember tools like that… God, now that I know how shared libraries work, that’s kinda terrifying people just saw that error message and downloaded whatever the fuck they found whereever they found it…
Must be how some malware spread.
What about setting up a new environment correctly instead?
Says the man that just copied and pasted, then checked in 800mb of shitty angular dependencies just to get Jenkins to be able to build his inherited project.
It’s ok, they don’t pay me enough to support a family and don’t give a shit about this project, and it’s for internal use.
That’s so stupid.
downloads and runs entire Linux distro just to run a python script without managing dependencies
… virtual environments?
Docker
ok sure. but FYI, venv is basically the same thing if it’s python based.
Yeah, venvs are the answer to “why is that folder 8gb?”
Containers are the answer to “why is my hard drive completely full”
