are people on here that have opinions about #Solid (the pod technology not the javascript framework / library)

why is it good / not good?

is it usable?

is it in use?

it doesn't seem to have the same popularity as i.e. #ActivityPub / the #Fediverse, even though the concept of solid pods seems to synergize quite well with the idea of a decentralized web, as far as i can tell

Hi #fediverse and #ActivityPub developers!

I'm currently working on interoperability testing for #Hollo and #Fedify, and I need a #Bonfire account to test federation with their implementation.

Since there aren't many open public Bonfire instances available, I was wondering if any Bonfire instance admins out there would be willing to grant me a test account? It would be a huge help for improving interop! Let me know if you can help. Thanks!

Odin was extremely energetic this evening. Which on the one hand makes for fun playtimes, but on the other makes trying to brush him absolute hell. He fought to escape like being brushed would literally kill him. (He did not hurt us, just repeatedly wrestled his way out with enough force to break his collar's emergency release...)

I loathe the way LLMs have changed my writing. not because I use them (I don't), but because I'm afraid I'll be perceived as using them, so now I avoid em-dashes much of the time.

@tychithe harbinger of eternal sept @cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber What I really appreciated about Elm is that it reset the build pipeline, got rid of all the ungodly entangle of workarounds required to make a modern web app work with JS.

There are some things I sort of need that are cheaper at No Frills than at Loblaws. But I'd have to specifically walk to No Frills, while Loblaws is on my winter TTC commute. Result: I'm letting stocks run down because it's not urgent yet.

(In non-winter conditions I would get these things from Fiesta Farms, because I don't mind paying more there, but that requires bicycle commuting conditions.)

Reflection on #NixOS vs #Ansible

Ansible gives that ever-so tempting option to make changes directly on the servers. Things you might justify as minor, unimportant, or urgent. Whatever the reason, you can easily sync the server state with Ansible later, right?

Later: One some unrelated task, all these changes show up in the dry run and are a distraction and drag to deal with.

#NixOS forces you to make the changes only to the "single source of truth", eliminating this class of issues.

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber

hey me, hope you're doing well. out there in the future.

i've been coding in react a lot lately. i think the unified data flow really makes sense in wrangling in this frontend complexity.

i'm a little sad by all the build tooling though. It feels more complicated to scaffold a basic UI now than it was ten years ago. I'm sure ten years from now we'll have some sort of reactivity system without all the complex overhead.

right? right?
