🔗 Me, but elsewhere

  • I keep my head down as much as possible.

    Good work is always penalized with more work.

    Don't stick out at the top or the bottom.

  • Have your dreams ever had effects on you like that?

    Not like that, no. But I had a dream once about a specific coding/logic issue where in my dream I came up with a solution that actually worked in reality.

  • FACT

    The corporation basically stole the project from the community and started hiding features behind a paywall.

    It is completely irrelevant if you need the features that are closed and behind a paywall and are not part of the open core.

  • We should also keep in mind that Gitea was hostilely taken away from the community by a for-profit corporation that made Gitea open-core by hiding a way features behind a paywall in a cloud.

  • cgit always feels last century. Even with so-called "modern CSS" it's just ancient.

  • I hoped for a screenshot of a funny comment of someone promoting their software under a video of some wild intercourse.

  • The browser is the best the devs can do with the limitations and restrictions from the management.

  • tl;dr

    If you ever need to start a line with parens or brackets, consider using a ; right before it, as so many have adopted. Although, there is rarely a case where this would become a necessity.

  • 2018 when Microsroft acquired GitHub it was the largest competitor with similar functionality as far as I know. I used if for a few years before switching to selfhosted Forgejo because selfhosted GitLab back then was painfully annoying and complicated to setup and used enormous amounts of resources and also felt more aimed towards corporate users.

  • They once were a promising alternative to MS GitHub but now they’re going down the same route.

  • My tombstone would read: "obeyed all traffic rules and acted like everyone else would do the same".

  • Unpopular opinion maybe, but a web browser is absolutely fine.

  • AI data centers need RAM. HDDs are used for "the cloud". 1 terabyte per user need to be stored somewhere.

  • If you want to open Edge without actually wanting to open it, just accidentally click on one of the advertisements in the main menu or any info area widget. Those ignore the default browser and always open Edge.

    Well—that is certainly a meticulous observation 👍
    
      
  • Thank you! 2FAuth looks very promising. Especially with the Android app! I need to check out the repo and history when I'm back home, though. It seems to be a one-man show.

  • We should make it more clear, that it is not “Mastodon is the thing” but “ActivityPub is the thing, and Mastodon is just one of many implementations”

  • Aegis seems to be just an app. The thing is, that I see an app as second option for accessing the data. I’d like to have a selfhosted service that is accessible independent from a device and – for convenience – has an app, too.

    What’s the currently best way to manage TOTP tokens?

  • This a good idea?

    This sounds like a fun project that needs some customization, like styling and templating everything to make it look like a blog with federation and comments and not like a Lemmy instance.

    Edit: You could also setup GoToSocial for example and set maximum character size to 5000 or so.

    This will give you a place to blog and get comments. Readers need a front-end and for them it just looks like a Mastodon account, but you could use styling and template magic to convert the back-end into a nice looking blog front-end.

    It’s easy to setup, host, and maintain and runs on fairly low resources.

    Lemmy or Piefed? Which is easier to host

    Can’t say anything about Piefed, but from what I tried quite some time ago, Lemmy is absurdly annoying to properly set up in an already existing Docker environment with an already existing reverse proxy, because it wants to basically handle everything on it’s own.

    It might be actually easier to use another machine or a VM and install Docker there and let Lemmy do whatever it wants to do und just proxy from your main setup to the Lemmy setup.

    I gave up.

    Best way to dockerize a static website?
