@thisismissem Neat, what do you find better about it? I personally haven't had any issues with nvm accross all the environments I used it in.
Heads up to any #NodeJS and #JavaScript developers out there: If you aren't already you should be using the Node Version Manager utility since a lot of projects need either an older or newer version of node and you'll have a bad time if you only use the system installed version.
`nvm use 16` saved me hours of debugging why Splunk's build tools weren't working recently :P
I think it's only just clicking for me that the death of the web is upon us. Instead of "googling" for stuff folks are searching on tiktok, instead of indexable forums there's closed discord communities. In fact apps and services are becoming locked within proprietary apps like discord. Paired with "ai" language models creating infinite web spam the whole thing is becoming less useful for the average person.
@fuzzychef snap! Ty for the heads up
@fuzzychef would this be similar to fosstodon.org?
Shoutout to past me for all the build tool BS it had to go through so that present me is more comfortable setting stuff up from scratch. Few things feel as good as throwing out hundreds of megabytes of confusing react/bable/webpack/lerna corposhit for a single build command and a static html file. :P
Let’s say it loud and clear:
There’s nothing wrong with promoting your small business, your art, books, your services on mastodon or any other social media.
Self promotion is not an ad!
It’s being part of a community.
People have to it. Other people might need and want the good stuff their community members might offer.
Mutual support and buying from your community members is good, wholesome and necessary.
Boost if you agree, so creators feel welcomed to self promote here

@andia should we maybe start tagging stuff with #HyphaCoop ?
In June I went to DWeb Camp. In August I finally finished my post about the experience : https://hypha.coop/dripline/technological-futures-under-the-redwoods/
@cubicgarden Yeah! Etke.cc has a few they support out of the bpx and you can choose whatever ones you want or don't want. E.g. I didn't bother setting up twitter or linkedin
@cubicgarden Nice! I pay etke.cc to help manage the instance since it's a major pain in the ass to set up from scratch. I use a cloud VM but you can probably run something locally if you set up a public ip or a reverse proxy.
I've mentioned this but I'm gonna make a real post.
If you are setting up Windows 11, select "English (World)" as your language (English Europe also works), and you will have NONE of the third party bloatware installed.
No Candy Crush, no Netflix, just the first party apps
Please do share this info with anyone who may be setting up Windows soon

@cubicgarden I self host my matrix instance and use bridges with e2ee. I've found that organizing stuff into "spaces" has been essential to make sense of messages. E.g. i have a seperate space for messages from loved ones and meatspace friends and others for different projects I work on. It's been a huge boon for ptojects that use multiple apps for comms (discord/slack/etc at once)
@mcc I'd use the exact same format as query string ad pass it into the URLSearchParams class to parse. Easier to parse, construct, modify that way.

body pains
The flesh really do be deteriorating. I've slowed the destruction of my front paws somewhat but a lot of other parts haven't been addressed yet. Maybe access to gym equipment to strengthen it will help a bit. Some of my pals swear by running so maybe there's a balance there that I can take vs the pain. Maybe eventually it'll be mild enough that I can sleep comfortably.
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
