Facebook has no alternative because it takes years to build something halfway decent. A social network today must work across all devices seamlessly, integrating with realtime notifications, user accounts and addressbooks across devices and that’s just for a start.

At https://Qbix.com we have spent our own money on a free open source alternative platform to Facebook.

I think we’re still pretty bad at marketing it. Would appreciate some feedback if you check out the site and watch the video.

It’s far far ahead of Mastodon, Solid, OwnCloud or whatever else is out there. It has full documentation (https://qbix.com/platform and https://qbix.com/platform/guide and https://qbix.com/platform/tutorials) and can be tried out of the box. It has been audited by third party security firms and come out with flying colors.

Here is a laundry list of features: https://qbix.com/features.pdf

But it needs a huge effort to make it as nice and appealing as say stripe.com is for payment integrations. Those guys are amazing.

We recently released version 1.1 on github. We have chatrooms, galleries, events, trips, back end and front end components which all work together like BSD systems all work together. Just slap them on pages, theme it and there u have your own social network. It took us years and nearly $1M in funding. But you can’t see much of that at a glance, or play around with it, yet. That should change in 2019.
You won't even get to see the recipe if there isn't something about the dead granny sandwiches in there. It will be forever hidden into the 300th page of search results.

I'm conflicted about the notion that "no one has time to read your article." That says more about dilapidation of reading culture than the fact that length of a text is necessarily bad. I see it happening to me and I don't read something not because it is valueless on its own but because there is simply too much else outside of it drawing on my attention.

If there's more and more pressure to say less, eventually you'll say nothing. If you say everything, nobody will read it unless they have eyes set on your work.

Most people seem to be trained to write an expository piece in a classical model of assert a premise => provide an argument => yield a conclusion. They're not used to putting the conclusion where the premise should be sort of like an abstract.

I agree with your last sentence about "each independent blog post". But you must realize that hosting content isn't free. If you want a blog that doesn't end with .wordpress.com or blogspot.com, you'll have to pay.

Otherwise, you publish on Medium, which IMO is just as bad in terms of handing over your IP to content farms.

Heat kills tires. Flexing heats up tires. More load, more (rotational) speed and less pressure all increase the amount a tire has to flex.

High speed automotive tires are expensive because they need to withstand all the flexing that comes from running at high speed with the kind of inflation pressures that deliver what the owners of the high dollar cars they go on consider a reasonable ride. They have to be fairly soft/flexible tires for the same reason. A hard, stiff tire would not deliver the kind of traction people expect from a German driving machine.

Basically you have speed, weight capacity and ride quality and you only get to pick two. So long as you can compromise somewhere everything is easy and cheap. A boring old light truck tire will live a long life at 150mph so long as you run it at a very high pressure and light load.

If you want to see this principal in action look at small trailer tires (like snowmobile and jet ski trailers). They carry a ton of weight (for their size) and run at very high speeds (a sub 20" tire is really spinning fast at highway speed) by running very high pressure with a stiff sidewall and the kind of rubber that makes butter look like a high friction surface.

So yeah, tires are the least of their technical issues.

Interesting. This is basically something I learned in college and am relearning through necessity with my son (11 years old), who has ADHD. Long study and homework sessions are impossible and, for him, tremendously discouraging. We've learned to take things in 15-30 minute chunks with breaks in between and we spread things over several days and the results are positive. Getting homework and projects done isn't such a chore and he feels better about himself since he's better prepared for tests.

Our geo data needs still don't require a GIS, but we're slowly getting to the point where they do. At the time, it was unclear if a GIS would ever be needed - the company and product have done a 180° turn, as startups usually do. In hindsight, DynamoDB was a terrible choice, but we didn't have that hindsight back then. Had we stuck to the tools that we knew how to use, we'd have made the right choice, which is what I was trying to say in the parent comment.

Recipe pages are long because Google penalizes sites with "high bounce rate", i.e. where the user opened the page, didn't interact with it (clicked a link, scrolled x% of the screen) and left, or clicked Back.

A recipe blog post where you can simply copy/paste the recipe into your notes app is going to receive a bad SEO grade.

I recently installed OpenSuse tubleweed. I'm not sure if I just had a weird installation, but both python 2.7, and python 3.6 were installed. That's great, but the "pip" command by default was pointed at pip3.6. Imagine how confused I was when I installed a bunch of packages using the "pip" command, but none of them were available from the default "python" shell.

I think the, let's be explicit about what we're installing approach isn't bad.
This is the sort of moronic "solution" one arrives at when they're unwilling to abandon the constraint of car ownership.
Does anyone know what the story is for binaries generated by things your project depends on? npm versions them and lets you invoke them from the project with "npx"; I wish something like this existed for go. (protoc-gen-go is the main thing I want; if your global version gets out of sync with the version in go.modules, the generated protobuf doesn't compile.)

I am glad to see that the go team is working on cleaning up the tooling situation. I used gocode, then started using modules, found that the primary version was unmaintained, and had to switch to a different fork. I believe I also needed a different version of goimports for a while. Having all this tooling unified into the langserver maintained alongside go sounds wonderful. I hope other languages do the same thing.
You exaggerate, but actually, this is a good reason to avoid accusing people of lying unless you understand the situation pretty well. Honest mistakes do happen a lot.

How many times does a company need to say sorry? I mean honestly, who would have thought a foreign government would do such a thing?

Plus the foreign interference is overblown. The amount of ads and groups Russia was pushing was miniscule compared to amount of content pushed everyday and political advertising that political parties does.

> but everybody I know here in Eastern Europe are indifferent.

Fellow Eastern European here, I remember I was made fun of by my former colleagues back in 2005-2006 when I was saying that the United States requiring bio data in order to get a traveling visa (I think fingerprints became mandatory for US visa applicants back around that time) was very not ok, I received the same responses that you mention.

Nowadays that the bio thing has started reaching and directly affecting people more to the West the subject is fortunately debated on websites like this one and also in some parts of the Western mainstream media, but back in EE the subject is still ignored or at best is made fun of. I remember attending a street march/protest against bio ID cards/passports a couple of years ago, and the majority of participants were religious people that believed things like "666 the number of the Devil" and all that + a couple of tech people like myself which are still seen as paranoid by our friends and work colleagues. Unfortunately the civil society from this part of the world is totally mute on this type of subjects.

in addition to a DHT, you need another layer that can map key names to their hashes. ideally this is also something you can store in DHT (using ipns / mutable keys). once you have a (distributed) key-value store, you can build pretty much any kind of database[1]. this is known to work well for hadoop-style workloads[2] and i'd expect you could get similar performance for a p2p graph db.

I don't think there's a good way to measure Debian's contributions outside strictly packaging its distribution.

If a Debian developer, or a group of Debian developers, sets out to solve some problem that isn't Debian-specific, the result is (quite correctly) seen as a new independent free-software project rather than a Debian project.

For example, as I understand it the reproducible builds project (now reproducible-builds.org) started out inside Debian, then became a thing of its own.

You underestimate your parents likelihood to overgeneralize your sandbox advice. I expect you will be receiving this call months from now:

"You told me to use sandbox to be safe, so I wrote critical document X in a sandbox because I want it to be safe, but now that I rebooted I've lost all of my work."
Which basically confirms that the media is out to get Facebook.

I mean I suspect the same thing, but I wish everyone would be upfront with their motives instead of acting like they're just concerned citizens. Facebook's biggest critics are the same people that hated Facebook before they did any of this.

As a "devops engineer" cough sysadmin cough, configuration management is still a freaking nightmare.

I write too much YAML, I do not know why everyone all at once decided they were done building abstractions and instead wanted to write a ton of boilerplate.

I use ansible currently for our SMALL business. I have thousands of lines of ansible to do relatively simple tasks. YAML is not a programming language, you have to repeat your self over and over again. If you get tired of doing that, you are out of luck. You are not writing in a programming language so you cannot develop an abstraction.

That being said, the main advantage of Ansible is that someone has already gone in and written all of the boilerplate code for provisioning various resources in my cloud provider. Unless OpsMop has this, I don't see the value-add.

Now I won't pretend to be within several magnitudes of the scale that Chrome runs at, but having given users the choice of "never ask for X again" in the past, it just ended up causing more issues than it ever solved.

People don't read dialogs, they just don't. And giving them the option of "never ask again for any site" would most likely mean that some would hit it and it wouldn't even register that it was something they did, let alone remember they did it for the rest of their time using that browser.

Then you start getting complaints about how Firefox has this notification feature but chrome doesn't, or notifications are broken on my chrome, or whatever else.

That's why I'm hopeful for some new browser APIs which will manage permissions across the board, and will use things like heuristics to allow or disallow asking for permissions based on things like amount of interaction, number of times they interact with the website, and the "kind" of site it is (a PWA should be allowed to ask for notifications fairly early on in the process of using it, a news website should have to wait until the user has come back at least a few times before being able to ask).

I don't envy browser vendors for having to make decisions on what is and isn't allowed there, because no matter what some well meaning sites will be caught in the crossfire, but it's by far the "least bad" solution in my opinion.
