If you, like me, read this exchange and are curious, 88 = HH = nazi

If you need more explanation I can supply it.

I remember mudkips

Oh ok so you’re more so working with folder structure etc, so bash for when you plug-in a card?

I’m thinking in more programmatic terms, there’s definitely some bash scripting you can execute. Or just go balls out and write a service that executes on systemctl

Can you give more context, what are you using? Language / system / etc?

I will agree it’s a valid storage but it has to be specified in ms

ISO 8601 is amazing for data storage and standardizing the date.

Display purposes sure, whatever you feel like

But goddammit if you don’t use ISO 8601 to store dates, I will find you, and I will standardize your code.

Versioning is one way; if you have an API you can have different versions which will can change depending on version.

E.G. let’s say you have contact information coming through an API… the database can largely remain the same, but if you want to add a field or change a fields name, you could upgrade the version. When the app is ready to use the new version, switch the app over.

Rereading your question once more, I believe you can just resolve all your issues with a common API.

I’m doing my part!
