Astro is a metaframework that among others can use Svelte for both static and interactive components. Plain Svelte without a metaframework is not suitable for normal websites with multiple pages, but Astro is.

As for Astro vs SvelteKit, I generally prefer Astro's approach to filesystem based routing (no +page etc.), I prefer it's MPA approach to the clientside routing SvelteKit and others use OOTB, I like that it's very tailored towards content and being an SSG (content collections, MD and MDX support ootb, currently experimental automatic image optimization), and the "integrations" are a huge time-saver. Some common ones you can add with `astro add`, and many others are just a quick config edit away.
I recently built a pretty performant portfolio site with Astro in a single day using DecapCMS and UnoCSS, both as integrations, all the client had to do was accept the invite from Netlify Identity and start adding content to their site!
This is true, if you manually configure a CAA limited to just one CA, then you lose that benefit of redundancy.

Caddy 2 is, at its core, a server of servers. The HTTP server is just an "app module" for Caddy. There are other servers; I don't know of a DNS server app yet. (CoreDNS is a fork of Caddy v1, though.)

> I learnt web dev back in the late 90s by doing "view source", and was still learning about new things that way well over a decade later. If we can move back towards that, by not having a build step, it will be amazing for new devs starting out and learning new things.

Same here, and I couldn't agree more. Had minified library soup with dynamic page content been the norm back then it would've been much harder to get started, and there's a high chance I would've just given up somewhere in the process.

Having a build step also increases activation energy and friction which impedes the sort of in-the-moment tinkering that often sparks projects.
> there's no reason it won't end the same as Reddit if you don't have federation, so you actually can't scoop out 90% of users because they might as well stay on Reddit

It will end up like Reddit. But right now it isn't, and that's good enough to make a play for the users. Given a choice between that and choosing a server, signing up, finding its log-in unresponsive, looking for another server, signing up... (I haven't gotten further than this) who do you think wins?

By the way, we agree. I want a federated system to work. But simple sign-up fuck-ups, where even someone who's curious for curiosity's sake has to spend half an hour figuring out which servers even work at the moment,

Most probably cloud based scraping services were not available in 2012. Now there are services available like scraperapi and others that don't need you to install anything at your end. You pay them, use their cloud infra, infinite proxies and even headless browsers. Shameless plug, I had written about it a few years ago on my blog post [1]

Not at this level of pontification. Python and C and Java and .NET have achieved much success without this kind of "the community can't decide on the right way to do this very fundamental thing[1]" kind of disconnect, largely by scoping themselves such that the tradeoffs are made internally to the language runtime and not a subject for debate.

And, fine, Rust is more ambitious, just like C++ was. But that too has tradeoffs in language complexity and evolutionary cruft, something that is often cited as an advantage vs. C++. But as we're seeing here, it's not really. It's just that C++ is a few decades farther along on the same curve.

... and much less accepting and empathetic to those who are excluded from the "diverse cultures" category.

Seriously. I understand that this is a politically charged issue in all kinds of ways, but as a white man who is the sole income earner of a traditional family, I expect to find all kinds of support for various identity groups pretty much everywhere I interact with others - but I've yet to find a single one that I identify with.

While I don't share that view, it's easy to see how people who are explicitly excluded in that way can come to feel that "diversity" initiatives are a thinly-veiled attack on everything they believe in.

Personally I see it as a correction of a long-term problem, and like most reactions, the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction. In a generation I think it will settle down into something much more reasonable and equitable.

Isn't this the same problem IRC had but IRC was (still is?) fairly widely used? (Wikipedia says its peak was about 10mil in 2004/2005 - which makes it 1% according to here: https://www.internetworldstats.com/emarketing.htm)

Regardless, if I was able to capture 1% of the net, that's not a failure by any stretch.

How did IRC succeed here? Have any hard evidence as opposed to intuition or speculation?
The adage of "It's who you know" applies in all industries, even tech. you are right, it's opinion based. Depending on the values of your team or organization the criteria for success will change.

My principal engineer values "The best possible solution" while I value delivery even if there are some short term tradeoffs. We are often at odds and since he's a level above me, he wins (generally speaking). Because he is a core feedback provider to my promotion I have a harder time getting the feedback I think I should as I'm expected to be his version of a principal engineer, and not mine.

As you move up the ladder it seems convincing people you are successful is more important that actually being successful.
There are others that do it.

No advantage if you just want to use Svelte when SvelteKit does everything Astro does and more while having less dependencies.

For understanding the structure of an object in memory, and box and arrow diagram of a few example instance is worth a hundred diagrams showing type.

UML is useless to the extent that type is useless.

> Actually, for stopping librarians being sexually assaulted jail works really well.

Does it? Are you proposing a lifetime sentence for all homeless people, with no possibility of parole? Otherwise, people get out of jail eventually, and then what? Moreover, rising housing prices produce more and more homeless, so there's a supply issue.

The least expensive solution would likely be to just give homes to the homeless. And guess what, it's actually significantly easier to get a job if you have a home, because a home gives you a home address (try putting "none" on a job application), a shower, a closet to put work clothes, a decent night's sleep, etc.

As a society, however, we've decided that we're not interested in the least expensive solution, because we don't want to eliminate homelessness, we want to punish homelessness. Giving homes to the homeless would not allow us to be judgmental against the homeless, and that seems to be a very high priority for a lot of people.
I guess the fact that technical skills have to be satisfied while social ones must be optimized was always true for software.

Since you've got insight into operating, can you clarify for me: Does federation happen at the community level?

So for instance, using reddit terminology, if I subscribe to r/gardening on your instance, do I get the same thing as everyone else gets in r/gardening on all the instances you federate with?

I'm clear on federation in general but not how it works for link aggregation. I've been reddit-free for about a year now but I've been planning to check out Lemmy once the current wave dies down and I'm not contributing to load stress.
I think if humans give up on the mistaken idea of species as a fixed concept rather than an evolutionary line, then it's fine. What matters is that a healthy ecology which supports the largest land predator on Earth persists.

The thing we're trying to avoid is a repeat of the Permian–Triassic extinction event, where afterwards Lystrosaurus composed 95% of land vertebrates for millions of years. Domesticated animals already compose a massive proportion of the bird and mammal biomass.

How will non-profit Reddit pay its costs? What makes you think doing things for the good of people is excluded by for profit businesses? They create all sorts of products and services that people want and need. Yes, there are abuses. Same with non profits. Because humans are in charge.

The problem with doing things for the good of people in a general sense is that you still need to have a functioning economy where scare resources are allocated somehow.
I also agree with you. And the legal or marketing team that asked for it all have bosses too asking them for certain things.
This is at the penumbra of my knowledge of memory ordering, so it's entirely possible that I'm completely incorrect here, especially because confirming correctness requires spending a lot of time making sure that the various papers are all using the same definitions for the various words.

People who say "UML is useless" basically say "diagrams are useless". Which obviously isn't true. The alternative to UML is everyone inventing their own "diagram language" when they want to visualize something.

Moreover, I think comparing different UML diagrams can also be enlightening for university students. E.g. state machine digrams look quite similar to activity diagrams, but the former emphasize states and the latter actions. And class diagrams let you learn the connection between class structures of OOP languages and database structures.

UML lets you visually learn the abstract higher level concepts without having to rely on irrelevant specifics of practical implementations, or just on dry theoretical text.

Well, dependency count is not the metric on which I base my tech decisions on. After all, you could do everything Svelte does with VanillaJS.

I just prefer the DX of Astro and MPA routing instead of client-side.

The human race is playing russian roulette on a massive scale with species extinctions, habitat disruption/destruction, and climate change.

With every extinction, we are betting that an already stressed species network will not collapse. We do not know the keystone species, outside of things like "wow, algae sure are important to the production of breathable air" or, say, "wow without honeybees, we have no food supply".

There was a joke in the nuclear age that cockroaches would survive us, with the hidden notion that insect species are inherently hardier than us big mammals, but the entire "windshield" sampling where windshields simply don't get splatted by insects as much as they once were, I'd question even that.

In case you're wondering, yes, a huge amount of ocean microorganisms are threatened by warming seas (warming faster than the air) and ocean acidification, and honeybees are currently stressed due to colony collapse disorder.

The human population of 8 billion and its current global economy is a barreling train headed towards a cliff of unknown distance with unfathomable inertia. There is some hope of averting the cliff we know is ahead of that barreling train, but it still seems most likely that the "game theory" of current human economics is to simply drive the train into the canyon.

The coronavirus was very instructive. It was comparatively to "threats to humanity" in history very low, and took relatively small measures to counter. If one thinks in terms of political science and "the elites", what is most disturbing about "the elites" of leadership and business is that they do not care outside of maintaining position, earning more magical monopoly 100 dollar bills with pictures of old men on them, and if that will continue.

The human race failed spectacularly from a policy and coordination standpoint. Science worked wonders, and it is in science we basically have our only hopes.

But leadership of a capitalist world is going to be populated by people obsessed with competition and "winning", and very distantly "cooperating". Even the nation states, following centuries of harsh militarism, cannot openly cooperate because weakness leads to exploitation.

Man, now I'm depressed.

It's not concern trolling, drama exists because everyone gets distracted by organized trolling and federation stans don't have a good answer for this problem.

Federation is confusing and alienating to non-technical users, and nerds who love federation tend to have a mediocre grasp of social dynamics and gloss over the inevitable abuses. Federation stans need to grasp the fact that nobody who is not a full time nerd cares about how federation works at the technical level, they just want a place to socialize with the assurance that they won't be overrun by assholes. All the Federation stans go into it the idea that 'you can just defederate' whereas non-technical users go into it with the idea that they don't want to get raided in the first place.

The existing model of federation is not working. Users don't want to know about the infrastructure any more than people going into a coffee shop want to looka t the architectural blueprints of the building, and federation is clearly unable to pre-empt raiding behavior automatically.
My first reaction is:

there should be an aggregator for all of these instances: https://join-lemmy.org/instances

because my first instinct guess is, there's going to be huge overlap on submissions daily

there's only so much new news daily and a certain niche of people who read it/contribute

scattering them out to a bunch of obscure niche places probably doesn't help

I just use the communities tab [0], that's on every instance. Then select All to get a list of all communities federated with this instance sorted by size.

Other wise I just, use the search bar. I just tested it with the goal of finding a photography related community. Found it with the first search result from "photography". [1]

Another example, I wanted to find a risc-v related community, one simple search [2], boom, I found one [3]

Is this because the certs were revoked? (Revocation is broken ;P)

Caddy staples Valid OCSP responses to all certificates that have an OCSP responder, so if browsers aren't accepting that, then arguably the clients are broken, because that response is valid until a few days from now. But before the 100% valid and trusted OCSP staple expires, Caddy will get a new staple that presumably says Revoked, and replace them right away before browsers would ever see a Revoked status.

(Revocation is broken ;P)
The "exceptional" part is literally a quote from the top expert of preservation for the region.

Yeah that's where I took the stats from. I spot checked them a bit to see if that metric seemed like it was affected by the recent blackout, but it looked like it wasn't (maybe they lag by some number of days). You could take the #users instead which shouldn't be affected by the blackout, but I thought posts better reflected how much activity they were producing (the first couple listed were really low on users but much higher on posts), but really I think for any of the metrics you pick will make the "keeping reddit alive" claim look rather questionable.
