I highly recommend coolify. Been hosting it on a dedicated server with 16 core and 64 GB ram and it powers following things for me right now

- prefect for ai and other automations.

- metabase

- postiz

- open webui

- jupyter notebook

- few experimental Db

backup is an issue but the best way I have found is to create a dedicated folder for your containers volume and edit docker compose in coolify UI to use this path for all volumes. Now you can backup coolify data and this container volumes folder.

You can assign a wildcard subdomain to it and it can then assign subdomains easily to any project with ssl. Pretty nifty.

Think of coolify as ui for docker and other network things on server. I use lazydocker to manage containers via command line too on server when coolify won't bend to my will. So both combined together gives a solid control and ease.
They commented, on a social media platform...

I mean, honestly, if we're ever going to figure out what parts of these platforms are beneficial and which are harmful, we really need to start being more specific about what we're talking about.

And I hardly think you can call something as long-lived as social media of any form a 'fad'
Would have been useful thinking if realised some 20 years ago
Roads are such an apocalyptic blight on the landscape that I'm all for burying as many of them as possible. 200 feet down, 200 billion feet to go.
All mediums for creativity are not equivalent. We're killing off the good ones and replacing them with bad ones.
But, I bet many have thanked their boss for the opportunity given to them. This statement of gratitude is a tacit acknowledgement of salary.
Mastodon’s distributed nature makes it hard to adopt and find friends and services. Explaining why it is so hard to use to non tech people is really not easy to do. It is a platform for nerds and its complexity will gatekeep others unfortunately.

Bluesky model is working better.

I have accounts on both and BlueSky is more active and widely adopted while Mastodon has only geeks/nerds on it.

You can disagree with this assessment but it is what I see.
It's a font demo, what exactly is the problem? Are you paid to lobby for quick foxes and lazy dogs?
I'm in my 50s and I'm currently mulling the conundrum of being an artist and designer with art and design side projects, and now having them sidelined by a new-found interest in p5js. I'm getting little glimpses of observing myself and how I'm responding to my side-project time being increasingly compacted by parenting, work and also a recent flush of training for a mountain run (in order to maintain some fitness) - I also had a temporary obsession with learning wheelies on my bike, which further compacted time available for javascript learning outside of work hours.

Anyways - this article was a good read, and I've enjoyed the observations in the comments - especially about the body and the ebb and flow nature of time spent on side projects.

I had a kind of burn-out last year where I'd work 'til 1am and then feel drained and grouchy the next day. A new found interest in sleep has been paying dividends, but I need to lean into it further.
One wonders about why they didn’t choose a tunnel, leaving that ultra special soul fully intact…
> nobody ever looked into my porn browsing history so far

I like this idea. My burner laptop will open up to a bonanza of the most extreme but legal porn imaginable. Pop-ups and lurid ads everywhere, loud moaning, the works.

America is built for maximizing consumption.

Public transit gets in the way of selling cars which goes against maximizing consumption.

Additionally there is a lack of infrastructure and culture to keep public transit clean.
Endometriosis is a terrible disease. I know so many women who have it and it can be debilitating. It can range from moderate discomfort to pain that spreads throughout the entire abdomen.

Every single woman I’ve talked to about it has described how difficult it has been to get treatment from male doctors. They all experienced skepticism about their symptoms and invalidation that what they were experiencing was real.

It’s really tragic that we don’t know more about this disease and don’t have really effective treatments yet.
I was stuck on that puzzle for years, let a friend borrow it, and he confidently announces the solution a couple days later. He swore he had uncovered it through trial and error, but I didn’t believe him. Still don’t. You weren’t running a BBS in the 90s, were you?
I bet it has great buoyancy and is difficult to sink. They onyl open it on the ship, after washing off hypergol remains and going over it with a chemical sniffer.

They only land in good weather. I've watched many livestreams of landings, it always looks calm. The people attaching the ropes don't seem bothered. The astronauts inside are not too sea sick.
I don’t think the widespread adoption - or lack thereof - is a good indicator for being a fad or not being one. That being said, I don’t think social media is one.

However, the original commenter is right by saying that social media is far from being a necessity.

Generally I also understand the increasingly negative sentiment towards social media and the assumption that it does far more harm than it does good doesn’t seem far fetched anymore
Either give it a solid background, or do this: https://github.blog/changelog/2022-05-19-specify-theme-conte...
That people will spend more time online is a pretty safe bet in my eyes. From there it follows people will want to communicate. There's no future without some form of social networks. You're commenting in one right now.
Persistence in modern macOS is only really possible in userspace, as the OS partition is immutable. There are only a handful of places this is possible, which are fairly easy to detect.

Unless border agents are burning 0-days on random passersby, it’s fairly unlikely they installed anything persistent that can’t be removed.
I think the worst part about social media is the model for monetization and the incentives it creates
I have been looking at using both of those. I have used TCL before but it was a while back, but Lazarus does have a visual designer which I have played with a bit.

I am not sure which makes producing cross platform binaries easier. I ran into a few issues the last time I tried TclKit I ran into problems so Starkits may not be an easy solution anymore.
Much of the acceptance of UNIX at Bell Labs was due to its role as a typesetting system, with troff, eqn, and tbl commands. I worked for a UNIX support company (Interactive Systems Corporation) and our first customer was the U.S. Supreme Court because they deal with so many documents.
I used autohotkey for about half a year when I injured my shoulder. With the time to practice I got most of the way back to my typing speed with one hand. It’s really a viable solution that wasn’t too hard to learn.
Usenet and Dove/FidoNet still work and you can access them over NNTP.

Slow paced, much less drama, intelligent discussions. And you can get all your threaded chats offline.
> However, the original commenter is right by saying that social media is far from being a necessity.

We need something to allow people to organize around friends/topics/places and discover ideas, share, make sense of the world, act, etc. Reddit, Facebook, and twitter served those needs. I prefer social media over traditional newspapers that are very top down.
Yea that's even more ridiculous. Epsilon*phi equals to 1 because i guess that's the best mathiness they could do.
Essentially yes. In my case, the sabbatical overlapped with a week that I would have taken off anyways, so I took about 4 weeks of vacation spread through the rest of the year, and then the 5-week sabbatical at the end of the year.
Oh... For safety, it's recommended to check the installation script for suspicious commands.
Or you can just pull the image for the Ferron web server from Docker Hub.
Unusably slow for me on my Librem 5. I'm talking about two or three fps.

Those stores also predominantly sell imported products. They are going to be affected disproportionately by the tariffs.
"We’re not solving world hunger for another 2 centuries"

Why two centuries? Deaths from famines have already dropped precipitously in the last three generations or so. Today, if there is a problem with food, it is usually a logistical problem, not a problem with food availability/cost in general, and half of the world has a problem of eating too much.

Anyway, two centuries is a long time. Two centuries ago, electricity wasn't a thing yet.
> Or only when it crosses ~$100 million like President Trump did ?

I believe you missed another option. The President-elect has been convicted for fraud, is a big believer in quid pro quo, and did similar actions in his first term.

Sometimes it really is about corruption.
Debian Apt 3.0 Stable Released with New Package Solver and Refined Text UI
We have plenty of foss stuff ready to go and deployed. But we don’t want it. We want free ad supported American platforms. No one cares. It’s pretty annoying for the people that do, but alas.
China's push for chip independence continues with its first RISC-V server CPU
They can still hold you for a long time (days?) at the border without being formally charged with anything. That's what I've been told, not sure how true it is. A Canadian entering the U.S was held for 2 weeks with no charges - not just a entry denial.
Certainly, but this can be said of quite literally any business endeavor - but I don't see people getting up in arms about other types of business in such an abstract sense - there aren't large groups of people calling for us to ban video games entirely [0], but we do advocate for, at the least, mitigating harmful practices such as loot boxes.

0 - Yes, some people do, but I think we can agree it's not nearly as popular a view as those pushing against 'social media'
It's not one specific country.

In addition to the US: Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany.

I'm sure there are others as well.
Yahoo's 404 at Pacific Bell Park was pretty cool.

> Doing specific tariffs for strategic / national security purposes is one thing, but that is obviously not what is happening here:

It's not so obvious to me. If they left certain countries out, then bad actors could set up shop in those countries to exploit their low tariff. For example, Chinese companies opened factories in Mexico after the first round of tariffs hit China.

As for why not targeting certain items, it seems pretty clear that Trump is concerned more with trade imbalance itself than security reasons (he puts it as, "make America wealthy again"). Instead of creating very complex regulations that are always behind the constantly changing market, the policy is simple. It forces the other country to figure out what's causing the trade imbalance.
woulda been cool to see, in general core ISP routers care more about traffic classes than per flow fairness. fq codel is definitely the way to go on the consumer end though
The second best time to plant a tree is now. Running these platforms will be getting cheaper with time too.
It's not a fad, it's the commercialization of gossip, one of humanity's oldest communication networks. It is here to stay, and it has been weaponized.
For the record (for Canada):

Social media is a misnomer. We should be calling them personal advertising services. The commercial part just makes the money.
In that situation, don't refer to it as a "burner". Using that word is automatically suspect.

Keep in mind that they hear plenty of stories like this. What it amounts to is that you're trying to achieve plausible deniability even if they assume you're lying, i.e. don't give them any concrete basis for suspicion.
> Usenet and Dove/FidoNet still work and you can access them over NNTP

Great for nerds but not going to solve society’s larger scale needs.
Nice. I plan to use this tool to pre-calculate the letter size ratios for all my fonts, then bake those into my non-JS server code as constants and use a similar wrapping algorithm. Now there's no runtime canvassing. Thanks for this code
WhatsApp is social media. That’s one of my main channels of coordination.
Thank you! I have visited the post from the link, and added the dark mode logo.
I tend to do a lot of data-oriented programming, including at the meta-programming level, which blends with the problem of configuration. A pattern I found that works well this use case and covers the whole clock is the following:

- DSL as functions T, args* -> T, where T is your configuration type — or, as I like to call it, a plan. Since under function composition it's insensitive to composition order (associativity of the monoid), you can layer DSL functions on top of each other freely.

- Literal values as implicit functions. Once the plan is built and before it is run/compiled/interpreted, I cast any literal value in the datatype to a function returning that value. It's a design principle that allows me to hard-code behavior when a literal value is not enough by just swapping it with a lambda.

- Once this kind of homogeneity is ensured, and given the points above, I can extend my DSL and the behavior it describes with point-free function combinators. I get conditionals, advanced composition (parallelism for instance) , instrumentation (debugging), etc... without burdening my DSL with ad-hoc, invasive implementations. More importantly I can reuse these facilities across DSLs.
Honestly it’s easier to meet people you have things in common with in adulthood because you’re forced to engage in activities to meet people rather than just meeting whatever random people you’re around.

But a lot of people sit around and have zero social hobbies and claim it’s hard to meet people in adulthood.
Most people's thinking here seems to be clouded by political ideologies and anger over their stocks being down. Game theoretically Trump has a long history of basically playing the perfect strategy of extreme unpredictability, willingness to take a loss for the purpose of making a point, but sufficient reliability if a deal is agreed upon that he benefits from the most. He's the one who'll brake the last in a game of racing to the edge of a cliff - always. That's why he will succeed and the US will keep the upper hand geopolitically and economically. But the world will change also - that's actually why he's playing so tough. The cake is being divided anew and China _will_ get a much larger portion. His goal is not to prevent this - because he can't - his goal is to secure an as large as possible piece for himself and the US.

The tariffs are for forcing the entire world to renegotiate anything that he is interested in. And that plan will work. They will ALL negotiate, with him holding the upper hand.

PS: Many of the replies suggest that countries can achieve independence of US companies and the US Dollar. While that is possible they forget a key weakness of democracies. Politicians are elected based on short-term benefits and avoidance of suffering. All those required actions to reach independence require serious long-term efforts that detrimentally impact the comfort of the respective voting population at least short-term. That's why those adjustments probably won't happen. Trump knows that and takes advantage of it. Countries not governed by a democratic system are usually led by an elite who'll be indifferent of pretty much anything we are debating here - they just want to obtain more power and wealth. And they'll be achieving this easier when they cooperate with who is factually the most powerful man on the planet.
Isn’t it a democratisation of communication? I mean before social media the friction between you and your soapbox was much bigger.
The article is using Europe and the European Union interchangeably so I’m not sure who the subject is.

If the 27 EU members than backdoor actors like Hungary are a bigger problem.
What are you talking about? The FOSS social media platforms are my favourite place to talk about FOSS social media platforms and no other topics.
Delta Net – The Internet Reimagined
δ.net is the world's first neural internet - a digital ecosystem where information organizes around meaning, not location.
Some of these would be better converted to 3dgs.
You could say one follows the other on a large enough scale.
2005 is incidentally when StudiVZ was founded.
So if Romania launches a wildly popular social media site, that’s good for Spanish sovereignty?
There used to be more of an image of making the world better - people were still talking about getting rich, of course, but there was a sense that they were going change the world more positively in the spirit of Steve Jobs’ bicycle for the mind quote, and it seemed like that got dropped in the 2010s when everything got so focused on adtech riches and, later, the cryptocurrency marketing push tried to finalize everything without delivering anything truly beneficial to the users.
This was realised and raised longer than 20 years ago, the primary problem being the decisionmakers who own the money have never cared beyond the 'Quarter'. The nerds are in pocket.
I absolutely agree that impeachment and conviction is the only way to restore the world's trust in the US.

If this bill passes and Trump vetos it, don't you think that could raise the odds for a 3rd impeachment process?
I've never seen Europe flex as much as they have over the past few weeks.

Trump has really encouraged Europe to spread their wings.
What do you have in mind? I am not aware of any foss platform, European or not, that is as accessible as Meta'a networks are. If you get asked about a server choice during the registration process, it's game over.

The sad thing is, we had social networks in Europe, things like Nasza Klasa and Hyves. But Facebook is ate them all, I'm not sure why. I'm also not sure why VKontakte survived, possibly because they became a blatant copy of Facebook as fast as they could.
Taxpayer-funded public television that's already a thing in many European countries could be a decent model. No ads and much better incentive alignment. When you pay for it you are the customer not the goods.
I don't think people care AT ALL about FOSS, however, they do care somewhat about privacy and sovereignty.
But at the end of the day, they need to have the network of people they care about already on the platform and they need a smooth experience.
Nerds mostly lack empathy so they cant understand why distributed tech/mastodon doesnt get adopted by non technical people
Europe needs multiple competing social media platforms.

And to achieve that they need to realize that all the regulation they aimed at facebook can only be satisfied by entities that have facebook's money.

And thus, they're adding barriers to entry that ensure they won't have multiple competing social media platforms.
Two other books which also touch on hardware development which I (also) greatly enjoyed (having read _The Soul of a New Machine_ when it was published, borrowing it from a library) are:

_Startup: A Silicon Valley Adventure_ by Jerry Kaplan https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1171250.Startup

_Thinkpad: A Different Shade of Blue_ by Deborah A. Dell, J. Gerry Purdy https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/483933.Thinkpad
FWIW, I agree totally, and I don't find JavaScript to be bad at all.
It’s also just another AI wrapper.
Overlays Get Ignored
I didn't want to be politically correct, but also not insensitive. Many countries produce great things, but if we measure these countries rigerously, just a few stand out. Unfortunately from here on it get's messy, political, unsubstantiated or backed by data that is inherently biased due to selection criteria and weight.

It's very difficult to be truly unbiased and neutral and it's not my goal, I just think it's a common thought, that needs to be challenged. To associate products/results of scientists, quants, engineers and companies they are employed with an entire Nation is inherently simplistic.

In that case, why did the CIA/NSA develop TOR and made it OSS?
If the governments in the UK/France/Turkey are so brutally against encryption, why does the USA release safe encryption products?

If the world were absolute, we would absolutely be doomed and I hope to be part of a world, where freedom of thought, responsibility of each, constructive cooperation and a mesh of companies can work and produce value from and with each other permissionlessly. A world where Copyright/Patents are not needed anymore, because a stronger framework supports the individual contributor and also companies. Leftist, Right and Centrists views how an economy should look like are flawed, because they introduce idealogies to a mathematical non-linear partially closed but mostly open system.

Every idealistic concept shouldn't be believed, but explored. To hate one system over another one is also flawed, because it doesn't produce data and forces hypothesis testing without consequentially following conclusions. Economy is too complex for a man to design. It shouldn't be put into a canvas of restricted operations, but circuits would need to be developed locally. If we empower small communities and allow changes to be made quicker with less bureaucracy, this seemingly grand introduction of chaos leads to emergence of a larger stability of the whole. We are soo far away from that man..
So that prevents censorship? Seems like anything critical of the government would not be allowed.
Oops! I tried a couple experiments after writing this, and I believe I was mistaken, though I don't know how. It appears Claude was simply playing along, and convinced me it could remember the choices it secretly made. I must either have given it a tell, or perhaps it guessed the same answers twice in a row.
The World needs decentralized internet independent from big tech
Is it okay to not be ambitious?
The color scheme didn't help for me, some really low contrast colors like for parentheses.

But nice otherwise, interactivity is great.
> Fast. That is just a matter of streams and pipes. More on this later. That said the language the web server is written in largely irrelevant to its real world performance so long as it can execute low level streams and pipes.

I'm no expert, but that doesn't sound right to me. Efficiently serving vast quantities of static data isn't trivial, Netflix famously use kernel-level optimisations. [0] If you're serious about handling a great many concurrent web-API requests, you'll need to watch your step with concerns like asynchrony. Some languages make that much easier than others. Plenty of work has gone into nginx's efficiency, for example, which is highly asynchronous but is written in C, a language that lacks features to aid with asynchronous programming.

If you aren't doing that kind of serious performance work, your solution presumably isn't performance-competitive with the ones that do. As you say, anyone can call their solution fast.

People are rarely willing to adopt 10% improvements. Every improvement, no matter how small, needs to be taught to the larger community of users and other stakeholders; it is relatively rare for you to be the sole stakeholder, and thus the cost of adopting the improvement is rarely worth the improvement itself, endangering making improvements. Only 10x-style improvements have a good chance of widescale adoption. Thinking that you can short-circuit this by passing 10% improvements in widely adopted languages is the mark of someone who never tried to get language features like the "var" keyword adopted in multi-million-line Java codebases.
