@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s so awesome! I really oughta make use of the telescope I was gifted a few years ago…

#selfhosting is a privilege.
Sure, I agree: it is the best option in many cases, and in some cases it feels like the only option - if you care for things like safety and privacy.
But us - the same community that usually promotes self-hosting - should also be aware that it is a means to an end, we should understand the reasons why it is a good idea… and also design “the fallback” for those who cannot, for some reason, self-host.
And we know how to do that: just look at the healthy community of fediverse servers that are out there, not in competition but in cooperation with a number self-hosted single-user instances. But we don’t do it/have the same ecosystem in many other fields.
And self-hosting is a privilege: it demands more financial investment, more time investment, and has some potentially expensive dependencies (stable 24/7/365 internet connection and electricity, for eg.).
Just like the “path to #freesoftware” is a ladder and not a binary switch, service autonomy/independence/sovereignty is too (an often they are even related - how many “need” to use some proprietary app in order to access to a certain service they are dependent of?).

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Nope, unfortunately not. I took a look at Lisp last year (I think I used sbcl), but I haven’t done anything really useful with it. I still want to give it a proper go some time in the future. I do like how flexible it can be. Rather simple, but powerful basic concepts.
What’s your favorite dialect?
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I approve! That’s how I learned HTML (version 4 at the time and XHTML shortly after) and making websites, too. Some of them are still made like this to this day. Hand-written HTML. Hardly any <div> and class nonsense. I can’t remember with which editor I started out with, but I upgraded to Webweaver (later renamed to Webcraft) quickly. Yeah, this were the times when there was just a single computer for the whole family.
Free hosting on Arcor, Freenet and I don’t know anymore how they were all called. Like this author, I uploaded everything via FTP. Oh dear, when was the last time I used that? And I had registered plenty of free .de.vu domains.
Being on Windows at the time, everything was ISO-8859-1 for me. No UTF-8, I don’t think I’ve heard about it back then.
Later, I wrote my own CMSes in PHP. Man, were they bad in retrospect. :-D Of course, MySQL databases were used as backends. I still exactly know the moment I read the first time about SQL injections. I tried it on my own CMS login and was shocked when I could just break in. The very next thing I did was to lock down everything with an .htaccess until I actually fixed my broken PHP code. Hahaha, good memories.
I swear by Atom or RSS feeds. Many of my sites offer them. I daily consume feeds, they’re just great.
Does anyone here write in a Lisp dialect? #clojure #commonlisp #lisp
damn it i got so excited because bleeding cool ran an article with a title like ‘all of DC april solicits so far’ and i did not read the ‘so far’ part and clicked it excitedly hoping to see all the april solicits but they’re out next week or something T__T
this is epic https://lmnt.me/blog/how-to-make-a-damn-website.html
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz True! :-D
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yes, exactly that. It’s awful! And it’s getting worse from my perspective. Nobody in charge is ever gonna learn anything. I figure we just fully deserve this M$ crap, every single bit. :-(
Luckily, the most important development platform still worked for me, so I could actually do something, review code, pull and push, etc. But the calls with the screenshares were nightmares. Can’t see shit on such a tiny display with today’s extreme monitor sizes people use. Looking at logs, hahahahahahaaa…
Hey, alguém que me lê aqui também tem a #anbernicRG35xx? Gostava de trocar impressões sobre hacks e tal
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Neat, that sounds like a clever design with a table implementation. :-)
Oh, for sure! Complexity will definitely go through the roof and beyond with optimizations, no doubt. Maybe with the very simplest of the easy ones it might be still reasonably straight forward, but I also imagine that this has the potential to escalate very quickly. :-D
@movq@www.uninformativ.de hahahah i hope you can get one someday if you want one! it’s standard lubuntu, so far no issues despite no official support for this weird little ubuntu flavor lol

Another infrastructure apocalypse day at work. Linux and Windows users were unable to reach M$ services. No Outlook, no Teams, no intranet (Sharepoint), no Azure, etc. Mac users were lucky, though. Took whoever the whole day to resolve that. Shortly before I called it quits, it worked again. I haven’t read any e-mail today, used Teams mostly on the company phone, but it’s the plague.
And as I’ve forseen the other day, we have to deliver yet another workaround hotfix, once the other team eventually gets their stuff integrated that we should rely on. Good riddance it’s the weekend now!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, this is really awesome! :-) Hats off to you, that would take me forever to accomplish.
Haha, eleven bytes, how mean is that!? :-D But I already see you working on that as well at some point in the near future. :-)
@prologic@twtxt.net Totally fine with me, I don’t use it. I just have to when hacking on yarnd, because it phones this service.
Listening to a playlist kat made for me 7 months ago. It’s fun!!

Would anyone object to the feeds.twtxt.net service having auth soon™ ? 🤔 I’m tired of the garbage feeds that it has accumulated over tie (spammers) and I want to a) clean it up b) lock it down somewhat.
The idea would be that you’d login with your Yarn.social account on some pod you control/operate or share with a nice person 🤣 – For those unfamiliar, this is called IndieAuth or IndieLogin. ALL Yarn.social pods are in fact valid (have been for years now) IndieAuth Providers. So I can just ust that. This also technically means you could login with your own domain too (more on that later…)

@hacker-news-newest@feeds.twtxt.net TL;DR:
The author recounts their experience with a “no calls” policy in enterprise sales, finding it surprisingly effective. They attribute this success to addressing common reasons for calls—lack of understanding, onboarding issues, pricing uncertainty, and trust concerns—through clear messaging, self-serve onboarding, transparent pricing, and robust security documentation. While acknowledging potential limitations, the author advocates for a #nocalls approach, emphasizing the benefits of efficiency and alignment with their values.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Who does right 🤣 I wonder if anyone read the ToC(s) of any Yarn pod? 🤔
