I am immensely grateful to the Fediverse for all the encouragement I got here to embark on a #selfhosting journey.
#YunoHost has empowered my digital life in immeasurable ways.
My way of giving back - and fighting the broligarchs of Big Tech - is to create a guide that demystifies the process. I have compiled all my posts so far in a single page:

If you're curious about self-hosting but you haven't taken the leap yet, I hope my articles will be helpful to you ❤️

We used to say “yolo merge” when merging with inadequate review, but perhaps “morge” is an even better term.

Help us improve our FreeBSD installation guides
We're updating our resources for people who want to try FreeBSD in a virtual machine for the first time.
If you're thinking about installing FreeBSD in a VM to test it out, what platform are you using as the host?
Let us know in the comments, your feedback will help us create guides that match how people are actually using FreeBSD today.

people love to talk about how janky GitHub has gotten since they started rewriting so much of their UI in react… but one of my favorite things about it is that now their site just leaks memory all over the place
My #LT6502 is assembled.
The hinges work really well, if a tad fiddly to get right.
The case, well there are a few gaps here and there, this could be improved with more clips.
Also I’ve learned a lot about 3D printing and there is a lot I would change.
But overall, I’m happy with it.
It’s a bit of a chonker but that honestly doesn’t bother me.

Intel has a tradition that every ten years they build an architecture that it is impossible to write a compiler for. The iAPX432, i860, and Itanium were each iterations of this. The next one was a GPU architecture with a two-dimensional register file (amazing for hand-coded assembly kernels, not great for anything that needed to merge lowering of vector permutes with register allocation). I didn’t pay attention to what they did most recently, I presume they made some AI accelerator that has amazingly high FLOPS numbers on paper and is impossible to target from MLIR.
@david_chisnallDavid Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*) @koakumaSun Microdevil Pte Ltd @regehrJohn Regehr The iAPX 432 from what I can tell was not at all impossible to write compilers for, but as per Bob Colwell who wrote a bunch of papers dissecting the 432 for his PhD, the compiler team did not get along with the HW team and explicitly didn't want the effort to succeed. https://www.sigmicro.org/media/oralhistories/colwell.pdf p. 51
![[..] one particular night that summer, | was with some friends, and we went up to this bar where I struck up a conversation with some random guy | didn't know sitting next to me. He asked me what | was doing at Intel for the summer. | said "I'm a grad student doing some research on the 432." "Really? What kinds of things are you finding?" | said "Well, I'm finding that there's a huge disconnect between the software and the hardware. | mean the hardware should be capable of doing a procedure call much quicker than it's actually doing, for instance, it's taking many hundreds of clock cycles. And in other places, I'm seeing all kind of wastage from the compiler just setting variables that never get used, classic stuff you just don't do." And the guy said "Really? | mean tell me more about that part."
Eventually, | said "Okay, who are you? You know way too much about this technology." He tells me "I'm the leader of the compiler team." And I said "In that case | probably just fatally offended you." He said "No, not at all because | know we generate bad code and | don't care." He said "We don't like the 432 hardware team." And | thought "Oh my God, there is no hope that this project is going to work when you have the two main casts killing each other." He said "That hardware team never listened to us compiler folks At some point we decided that we'd live up to the letter of the contract but beyond that? No."](https://cdn.masto.host/mastodongamedevplace/media_attachments/files/116/087/820/160/034/485/original/ac9f7a9d4b5ba6f7.png)
too many programmers tell other programmers not to roll their own. not me. go ahead and implement that thing! it's fun! you control the stack! you learn a lot! don't tell me not to implement something myself because then I will probably do it out of spite.

You all seem like the sort of people who might know the answer to this, so: any idea why https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-balfanz-tls-obc-01 never went anywhere? I independently reinvented it yesterday and now I'm curious what I'm utterly missing that left smarter people than me deciding it wasn't a good idea 14 years ago

What if we do a "Invite one person to the fediverse" day?
A day where everyone at the fediverse go and reach a friend, family, stranger, coworker, partner, mistress, neighbor, rival, coffee buddy, artist, business partner, etc... and invites them/onboard-them to any of the #fediverse apps.
I Love the Fediverse Day kind of a thing. Does that exists already? Any specific date in mind?

and it has implications on innovation.
We/I could build a LinkedIn (when LinkedIn was good) version for the fediverse.
A nice professional UI fediverse-client that shows indexed #jobs posts, adding 
@badgefed / certifications celebrations, and some #lemmy forums on specific companies and job market. But I am afraid that simply indexing (even if done in the "right and respectful" way), would get a drawback.
@mapacheMaho 🦝🍻 @quillmatiqAnuj Ahooja @evanEvan Prodromou @dansup @HolosSocial @badgefed I think we need to fight back against the elitest mentality and actually make it clear that stuff like this can be successful, and it doesn't hurt to allow different protocols and methods of doing stuff.

@linuxlucyLucy B Thank you for your old post about Async Pairing (https://linuxlucy.dev/post/async-pairing/), I don't know if you boosted it recently, but it ended up in my open tabs, and it sounds like a really useful idea to spell out and name. I'll be adopting it in my team ASAP.
