@phooky You know the LAMP stack? Well, if I want to write everything in the Rust programming language, Rocket is A, Diesel is M, and Yew is P. Or alternately Actix-Web is A, sqlx and sea-query are two libraries that work together to create M, and Dioxus is P.

I could use help composing an essential Fediverse (as a topic) book reading list. I'm planning on talking to people with a variety of technical backgrounds (range and expertise) so variety is good. I haven't read any of this yet but I would read it first and either (verbally) summarise points or point people to them for more info.

So far I have on my list:

Here’s a Mastodon version under 300 characters, with energy and a thought-leadership CTA:

🌍 Since 2020, we’ve awarded $21M to 240 projects across 40+ countries.

This is about more than funding. It’s about shaping policy and digital infrastructure for inclusive finance.

Another round of Vouch updates based on real world usage. Iterating fast so Vouch can be used successfully in more places.

Features
New action sync-codeowners: automatically vouches all users in your CODEOWNERS file including all members of all teams in that file

Bugs/Improvements
- All vouch-modifying actions now include the username(s) of the users in their PR bodies (example: github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty)
- `manage-by-issue` now closes the issue with the "not planned" reason instead of "completed"
- GitHub API requests are retried with backoff on all 5xx (server problems), 429 (rate limit), and 401 (token propagation delay) status codes

無知・無謀な登山者による遭難を少しでも抑止したいし、受益者負担の観点からも救助の有料化に賛成の立場ではあるけど、記事で述べられているとおり線引きが事実上不可能というのも分かる話。

Today makes another time I've seen instructions for making coffee in a moka pot as follows:
- first heat the water in the water compartment, open (up to just below the valve)
- then add the filter with the coffee and close the moka pot and let brew

And this is asinine. It's unsafe. You'll get burned. Just put the water in the pot, the filter, close the pot and heat on medium until it starts bubbling up. It's a moka pot. Don't be a pretentious jackass.
