so, i'm almost finished writing a Dockerfile that builds strfry within an arch container.

it just bombed out after 444 seconds (over 7 minutes) to report to me that i failed to put some retarded PERL thing into the image.

yes i'm gonna go check the PKGBUILD now, i've obviously omitted some yet another critical perl thing that nothing up to this point in the build flagged as a problem for being absent.

if you build C++ software, and don't provide a dockerfile that spits out a binary, you are going to hell. straight to hell.

i'm only doing this because i know that the majority of people who see this stuff are oblivious wokesters whose mind is in some la la land where the world is full of overpaid developers who can afford the latest intel processor and 5ghz 50 channel memory chips, and like to have sword fights in their lab with their coworkers because "compiling".

there was this funny little language that was invented in the same year as Bitcoin. it can spit out binary for such a simple thing as this, from scratch, with everything in source, in a matter of 20 seconds.

not something that gives me reason to look for something to do like shitposting about how fucking stupid C++ programmers are.

ok, back to the grindstone. the perl dependency will be found and added and another 7 minutes to just find out if I covered it.
