Already got a name picked out for my next computer: `bessie`. Since it's going to be an `SBC` 😸

Listen up if we had our shit together as a commensal species then we would have co-evolved with a railroad commensal that goops along the surface of a train track and skids the train over the top of their body when they pass in opposing directions on the track, passing goods and information in an informal network in exchange for eating the iron oxides on the tracks and wheels

The NoSQL movement seems to have died down by now and I'm seeing a lot more of a return to SQL as being good enough for everything. I don't exactly disagree even though I love all the NoSQL DBs that came out.

Amazing. W (I kid you not): A bunch of VC-funded European Big Tech assholes attempting to rewrite history by erasing the federated European alternatives that already exist to create their own centralised, surveillance-ridden X clone.

Same shit, different flag.

And I’m sure the usual fools will flock to it the moment it’s ready.

Fuck these people.

TIL there's a WINE equivalent for running MacOS software on Linux. darlinghq.org/

Gonna see if I can get xcode working on it some day.

@3timeslazy yeah, I really wish github had a "plain HTML mode" to get rid of all the extra js fluff on top of the actual content 😭 Or maybe a "github classic" from like 10 years ago

Every time I open GitHub there is a chance it will be worse than it was previously. For the last few days all sourced code files look like this. But hey, there is a Copilot button!

@fredy_pferdi Yeah that's been on my TODO to explore too. I just don't have too much time to mess with my system these days and raw EndevourOS has been good enough for the most part. One of these days I'll take the plunge into Nix

it feels hard to talk about how to write websites that feel manageable to maintain with like 0.5% of my brain because there are a thousand tiny and not always logical decisions like "use bash scripts to run my local dev server, because then it's `bash scripts/run.sh` no matter what programming language the project is in"

or "refuse to use any database other than SQLite because I had a bad experience operating Postgres once and I feel more comfortable with sqlite"

@b0rk @mariusor My main worry about ESBuild is it's one of those tools that's likely to reinvent their configs every couple of years and break any plugins I needed at the time. 😅

i like to make websites and I've been slowly realizing that my requirements for making websites might be a little weird

- I have maybe 20 websites (mostly static but not all)
- I want to spend basically 0 time maintaining them, maybe 5 minutes every 2 months at most
- I need to be able to ignore a project for 3 years and then come back and be able to develop it easily

i feel like all of this stuff makes my choice of tech stack different than if I worked on one site full-time

Updating my arch machine is like sorting through a pile of junk that's been accumulating all year. I should really be doing it more often. 😅

@tommi Ah! It is a joke about how a lot of online discourse will fixate on niche identities and debate them for hours instead of focusing on the actual systemic issues queer people face every day :P

@fleeky In terms of the non-neo pronouns I'd say `it/its would be a good "opposite". The neuter singular to counter the neuter plural.

@An0n sounds totally different from what I imagined. I wish you strength and luck to avoid it in the future. 🫂

@An0n suffering is deeply engaging. The deeper you dig the harder it is to crawl out.
