Comment on I made a way to remotely control my homelab without any internet access required
KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 hours agoI’m confused on how a semaphore would help, or is this a joke that I am misinterpreting?
Do you know what a semaphore is?
Quite literally designed for long distance communication.
Used extensively in many different variations before wire/electricity based systems became available, then even used after that for communication in places where you couldn’t have a wire (like between boats)
In programming a semaphore is a way to handle access to a method in a multithreaded environment.
Then then answer to your question is yes, you interpreted it incorrectly. The original (and common) definition of that word is vastly different than what you assumed.
