Rollerblading, programming, writing, documentaries, travel, motorbikes… That’s it!

This account is here to interact with bits of the Fediverse which don't play nicely with my weird ActivityPub-email system.

  • pf/opnsense essentially provide web interfaces to the underlyingFreeBSD OS tooling. In this case I'm running plain OpenBSD. That meansconfiguring the system is mainly done by reading and writing textfiles and doing stuff at the command line. There's a whole bunch ofreasons why some people prefer one way or the other or even mix thingsup a bit. My recommendation is, if you're interested, have a goadministering a system without a web interface and see how you feel!@Edgarallenpwn @selfhosted

  • The garbage out there today is too much.

    For sure. I'm hoping that with much cheaper and more reliable hardwarethat we have now, it makes it easier for indivduals and small groupsto run services that could only be run by big dysfunctional companies.Fingers crossed!@jjlinux @selfhosted

  • Good eyes! Yes this is one we got from Telstra on a VDSL NBN connection. Now it’s just a modem in bridge mode with Aussie Broadband

  • @towerful I mainly program in Go, so when I see all that extra software I notice how much easier it is when I get to just rely on the Go runtime. It does a lot of the heavy lifting done here, but the resulting code is not as clean. Actually just today I read through Mastodon’s code to track down a bug in my in-progress ActivityPub service (in Go) and found the Ruby really easy to navigate!

  • Mastodon is written in Ruby. Nowhere near as big as Facebook or the ML field, but hey, it's important to a couple of us at least :)

  • Really? AV1 & webp support, Quantum engine, process-per-tab, reader mode, HTTP/2 & HTTP/3 support, cross-site tracking protection...?Browsers have a lot of features. Some convenient, some come and go. That's ok.Firefox is an ideological choice for some people so both cynicism and unconditional support is expected.

    Mozilla.ai seems silent 9 months on. MemoryCache is a "Mozilla Innovation Project", which seems unrelated.
