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.
In my experience, this works about 25% of the time and is cause for extreme nervousness about what will happen if it tries to call a function that isn't actually present in the version it has been fooled into accepting.
It's never actually formatted my entire system even when it's gotten me a little further, perhaps to a different sort of crash, but that fear is always there.

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”
Hold up, are people just out there not using Alpine for a container base image?
meh, someone probably forgot to nuke old images
Thank you for mentioning this! In thought I was the worlds only moron who filled 1tb with stale docker images.
And that kids, is when I learned about
prune - aYes
What’s the alpine advantage here?
What morons!
*Hides 100gb of VM images in /var/lib/libvirt/images/ on his 230gb SSD*
Meanwhile as a guix+nix user i can just build it against that old library version because nothing can conflict with each other anyway
Yea but wheres the fun in that
