#upgrading rails

[maxcobmara]

Can ah?

I'm upgrading a Rails 4 app to Rails 5, I used to be a big fan of declarative_authorization, and used it in all of my early apps.

By the time I required any sort of role based authorisation, even CanCan had been deprecated by CanCanCan.

Anyway back to the 4 to 5 upgrade, the declarative_authorization gem no longer works with Rails 5, and the alleged successor forks, I couldn't get to work either. So I am migrating to CanCanCan. So far it has been a relatively painless process, although I'm actually learning a bit deeper about CanCanCan, as declarative_authorization is supremely granular, and I never really had to do granular authorization with CanCanCan. The main issue now is changing;

permitted_to? :auth, :action do block end

to

if can? auth, :action

and in controllers

filter_access_to :controller_actions

to

load_and_authorize_resource

Still got a long way to go.... and 4 more apps to go. Wonder if I can upgrade 5 to 7 though as Rails 6 was kind of a POS. lol

As someone who never was a Yanqing hater, the 2.4 and 2.5 update made me become proud of my son.

Y'all made fun of him and called him weak af, BUT HE COOKED.

Dear, Vector Prime.

Are there other Transformers that transform into deer besides Scrapper? I would like to know the female ones if possible.

Dear Antler Appreciator,

The Scrapper you mention is far from the only one. Some non-Hybridizer incarnations of Thunderhoof turn into deer. The Autobot Herne, when outside of his Pretender shell, transformed into an electro-elk—as did Sero, a Maximal Resistance member who underwent the Beast Upgrade. Now that you mention it, it’s curious that of all the individuals who come to mind, from across the multiverse, not one of them is female. I wonder if there is some underlying metaphysical principle that precludes the adoption of the doe as an alternate form…

This reminds me of a story, which—if my chronometer is to be trusted—should be seasonally-appropriate. Gather around the energon furnace, and I will tell you of the time Sky-Byte learned the meaning of Christmas.

Between schemes, Sky-Byte’s personal mission to understand human literature was well underway. Having already enjoyed A Tale of Two Cities, he next set his sights on that seminal classic, A Christmas Carol. So moved by it was he, that Sky-Byte was inspired to spread the “Christmas Spirit” to his fellow Predacons—and thus he enlisted the help of Slapper, Gas Skunk and Dark Scream, to play the role of the three spirits in his own re-enactment… and as for the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, why, that part would be played by none other than Megatron, of course.

The production went about as well as you might expect. Nevertheless, having been alerted to the magical properties of the “Christmas Spirit”, Megatron couldn’t help but covet this power for himself. He turned once more to Doctor Onishi’s memories, and in doing so, learned of the existence of the being known as “Santa Claus”.

Megatron reasoned that Santa Claus was the being who commanded the Christmas Spirit, and plotted to hijack the holiday. That night, he travelled to the North Pole to lie in wait… and when the sleigh appeared, he used his flying hand mode to snatch Santa Claus and all the presents! Having stolen Santa's list, he checked it twice, identifying the nicest humans with the most Christmas Spirit to take. On the back of the sleigh, he mounted the Predacons’ psycho-probe, which had been modified to absorb this psychic energy, stealing the hopes and dreams of children asleep in their beds. Dragging it behind him, Megatron changed into his reindeer mode… and took flight.

On Christmas morning, the Autobots were surprised to find a miserable Koji Onishi, who didn't even want to get out of bed to open the Autobots’ gifts. Their attempts to cheer him up only irritated him further. X-Brawn wondered if Koji was upset to be spending Christmas without his father, but Side Burn couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong…

Meanwhile, at the Megastar, Sky-Byte had been left to guard Santa Claus—as Predacon intelligence suggested the old man had a preternatural ability to break in and out of buildings unnoticed. But when Santa Claus revealed to Sky-Byte that his name was near the very top of the naughty list, the Predacon shark had a crisis of conscience. He sent out a transmission, which was received by T-AI at Autobot HQ, to warn them of Megatron's scheme.

Unfortunately, the number of humans affected by the psycho-probe was rapidly snowballing, causing a wave of humbuggery that would give even old Scrooge himself pause. Combined with Santa's magical sleigh, Megatron was moving faster than the Autobots could possibly keep up with! Only Rail Racer stood a chance of catching him, but Team Bullet Train was off-duty, as trains don’t run on Christmas Day. Thinking quickly, the Build Team modified the Global Space Bridge to lock onto Megatron and trap him in the transwarp field, allowing Prime and the Autobot Brothers to intercept. Cornered, Megatron needed more power if he was going to stand a chance—and unfortunately for the Autobots, the Christmas Spirit had unlimited power to give. Absorbing the stolen energy into himself, he supercharged his body into a menacingly festive new form, decked out all in red and gold. The victory he had chased for so long was finally within reach. The Autobots always got what they wanted. Why shouldn’t he?

Koji shouted to Megatron that he would never understand the meaning of Christmas. After all, it’s not about getting what you want—it’s about giving to others. But Megatron only let out a wickedly jolly laugh, for he did indeed have something for the Autobots… and with that, he began to charge his devastating Cutter Beam. Koji begged for him to listen. All the young boy wanted was to spend Christmas with friends and family—to see his father again, to have just one day without fighting. Why should such a dream be impossible? If only he promised to stop fighting, even Megatron would be welcome at their table.

And though Megatron laughed, some part of this warm sentiment touched his icy spark. It triggered a chain reaction in the Christmas Spirit coursing through his circuitry, which fought with his natural evil impulses… before finally exploding. Free once more, the Christmas Spirit returned to all the good little girls and boys. Bitterly, Megatron asked Koji if he had truly meant it. But before the boy could respond, Megatron saw a rift in the transwarp, and took his chance to retreat. Optimus Prime thanked Koji, and renewed his promise to rescue Doctor Onishi—though he regretted that they had not stopped Megatron sooner, and that all the children would be waking up without presents…

When Megatron arrived back at the Megastar, he was furious to discover that Santa Claus had vanished—and Sky-Byte, too! Meanwhile, all over the world, children found gifts had mysteriously arrived under their trees. A little girl looked out of her window, and caught a glimpse of a bearded man in a big red sleigh… pulled by a flying shark.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

if we get path switches for welt and himeko and they're both like hunt/destruction i think it'd be funny

the time for games over. it's time for the parents to Kill

(tho i maintain it would be hilarious for welt to die and come back wrong as a harmony path. in a dress/skirt.)

Eu moots who want to exchange IUD 🙏 I'm here for whatever ❤️

[musubiki]

how was playing hsr? was there anything that you liked in the game and the story?

ITS BEEN AMAZING AS EXPECTED!!!!!!!!! i actually havent played genshin in a while since starting it, i have no motivation to do the filler event while a perfectly good star rail is sitting there waiting to be played :')

but for mechanics, i love they have auto battle so you dont have to nessecarily sit there and invest in every little battle you gotta do....and i love that the resin (resin??) system is a lot more forgiving with a higher cap, lower cost, and allow for overflow...thats nice...i also love that the mc and starter units are very useful. im so emotionally attatched to the star rail crew so im glad they never have to leave my team !!!!

storywise im LOVING IT SO FAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i started playing it at the beginning of spring break 2 weeks ago and im almost all caught up!!! i went through belabog and penacony and now im just doing those leftover intermission main quests which im only now realizing i shouldve done before going to penacony LMAO

and of course.....danmarch....im so soft for them......and also i love sampo i cant wait to see what they do with him

seek the empyreal — summary of ideas

AKA the AU where OC!Misha is isekai'd to HSR as Misha

spoilers abound!

OC-Misha dresses himself unlike HSR-Misha:

buttons up his tailcoat

wears dress pants instead of double-layered shorts

ditched the buckles on his legs

sometimes opts to wear a larger hat and/or hairpins

Plot outline (mostly in-line with TB Mission events):

OC-Misha wakes up as HSR-Misha with no recollection of how this could have happened

OC-Misha plans to leave Penacony in hopes of finding a way back home, but until then, has to do his/Misha's job as a bellboy

Clockie and Co. help OC-Misha blend in by telling him when he's "forgetting" things and aiding him throughout his job

seems like HSR-Misha doesn't have any other friends... suspicious, but convenient

Sunday approaches Misha shortly before guests begin to arrive, with the intent of using him as a pawn, and often seeks him out (both in the Dreamscape and in reality)

HSR-Misha haunts him in dreams, but it seems like nobody else can see him(?) -> see shitty marker sketch rendition for visual details

HSR-Misha is actually dead, and Sunday is the first to discover this; he doesn't tell OC-Misha, thinking that OC-Misha is the ghost of HSR-Misha

In the Dreamscape: Acheron can't see or interact with Misha nor Clockie... this scares OC-Misha and sets him up to try interacting with more people

the only other people besides Sunday and Clockie who acknowledge his existence seem to be Stelle/the Trailblazer and Black Swan?

Sunday is the first person Misha confesses to (though he doesn't say outright that he isn't HSR-Misha), and he schemes to keep Misha around longer

insert low-quality-surprised-pikachu-face.png for HSR-Misha backstory reveal, whatever it is

HSR-Misha "leaves" with the Nameless (boards the Express with the ticket pinned to his cravat) and/or the Garden of Recollection (gets pseudo-exorcized, is turned into a card)

OC-Misha is convinced into staying on Penacony, and hasn't it been so long since he's seen his family or friends from Before? he's lived so long on his own, with Sunday and all his cartoon buddies by his side! if he goes now, he'll lose so much on Penacony!

OC-Misha is gaslit and guilt tripped into staying, but does genuinely enjoy being around Sunday and Clockie and some of the other Family members—Sunday is, privately, pleased to see Misha fitting in and associating with more of the Family if it means he'll stay on Penacony

happy(?) ending, they might have 1 (one) kiss if the mood is right
