I also think that people forget just how much computers crashed before we started making them more "memory inefficient". It used to be completely normal that your personal computer would just explode two or three times a day and you'd lose all your work. I still have the "control-s every five seconds" reflex to this day.

Hello people interested in a decentralised Fediverse, would like some feedback on something 🙏
At the moment, Fedi.Garden only lists Fediverse servers with fewer than 50,000 registered members. I am wondering if this limit should be replaced by a limit based on active members rather than registered members?
If a server has had a lot of signups in the past but not many active now, it is perhaps unfairly shut out of Fedi.Garden even though it now needs help getting noticed?
Any thoughts?

I admit that I find it kind of weird when people oppose a government digital ID while they happily accept the digital (shadow) IDs that ad/tracking networks, Facebook, Google, Twitter, Amazon etc already have with less to non-existent oversight and control. #UnpopularOpinion

Hey! I'm looking for work, preferably contracting. I'm an experienced Rust dev (9+ years hobby, ~6 years professionally) and I'm interested in backend, embedded, cryptography or security work (loosely, I've done a very wide range of work). I've mostly done development work professionally with some security on the side. I've won a few international CTFs and I'm part of the #1 global CTF team Kalmarunionen. You can contact me at pollyboutet@gmail.com. I'm based in Copenhagen, mostly looking for remote.
Boosts welcome! #GetFediHired #FediHire

I forgot how tedious it is to chase code coverage when writing tests.
However this was part of the reason that made me include the "boring" parts of building a robust library into the goals set for the #nlnet grant.
So after a couple of days of work I finally got the first of the storage backends for the #GoActivityPub library go past 80% test coverage.
I hope I can reuse some of the test logic in the other backends, as they need to perform identically.

I’m so ashamed …
This week, the UK Home Secretary proposed shocking #asylum reforms that could seize the possessions and jewellery of people seeking #safety, cut off their support and tear apart #families who have built their lives here.
This is performative cruelty reminiscent of #Nazi Germany.
Sign and share this urgent letter to stop the #UK government punishing #innocent families fleeing #war.

Reached this year's goal of 6000 km bicycling just in time before we get the first snow here in Stockholm, Sweden. Counting down the last 30 km in the cold was kind of tough and sweet at the same time. For some reason, my toes got cold, but I did not want to give up before reaching the goal. At the same time, I was super content to keep the level of bicycling for many years now. I wonder how much longer it will last.

I have autocompletion on the command line for git branch names, tag names, commit hashes... basically any commits or named commit pointers.
A lot of my working branches start with my username, "dariusk"
Sometimes I get very lazy and type "git checkout da" and then tab for autocomplete and get a list of every commit hash starting with "da"
Some solutions: have a different username. Have a different first name. Type more than two characters before hitting the autocomplete.
