My objection to binary executables that Just Work has diminished in my old age

I haven't used it a lot yet, but so far I'm impressed with #gitea as a plug-and-play ultralight #selfhosted github/gitlab workalike... it's written in #golang, so it's just a binary that you run ... even on ARM.

Why is #Pelican sticking a spurious chunk of path in front of the proper directory when specifying a static image -_-

tired: centralized embeddable comment sections
wired: ActivityPub embeddable comment sections

(Generalizing about people's moral fiber based on nothing more than what software they use is triggering to me, it would appear. Time to close the tab and do some actual work that might end up making this whole big wonderful thing go.)

Speaking of wonambi, one guess as to who has been helpful *at all* in my painful bootstrapping process to grok ActivityPub... Mastodon developers, or Pleroma developers?

Anyway, the Daily Dot article and various other people being Wrong On The Internet makes me want to work on wonambi more, but I'm still recovering from the holidays and somehow killed the Pleroma server I was using to reverse engineer stuff... guess I'll get that back online.

Somebody, somewhere, will build it. So prepare.

Search & discoverability is coming to the #fediverse whether anyone likes it or not. #ActivityPub is an open platform. These features are coming, one way or another.

If this might be problematic for you or people you care about, it would be good for you to start planning for this now. Because it IS going to happen, in the same way that gene-edited babies happened.

okay, I'm done. christ.

Seriously, I wonder if that big fuzzy adorbs blocklist maintainer would be interested in a census of everybody idling in the Pleroma channel on freenode, for example. Are the majority of them "awful people?" And what even is "''their' userbase" when it comes to Pleroma? Who is the 'they' that is encouraging all these 'awful people' to join the fediverse and scare the fragile orcs?

Ah, good to know that "Pleroma has made no real commitment about what kinds of people are welcome" and thus "the majority of their userbase are awful people."

b-but I heard the guy running the biggest fedi instance blocklist is fuzzy & lovable & *definitely* not repeating any of the group dynamics he claims to abhor! a-and his blocklist is a great well-maintained resource, with lots of accountability & transparency, it can be used as-is without critical thinking!

Here's the legit bone to pick in that article:

... 😬

yeahhhh bud, you got a lot of learning to do about #opensource community management.

I mean, the #DailyDot was cool for a hot minute back in 2014, but it's been a "same 10 stories below the fold as above the fold, but in different layout" journalistic dead end for a while now.
