 Edit: Update is live! It's been a while since I updated my personal website https://dansup.com The new design is still simple AF but has a bit more info, shipping shortly 😉 Here is the current design, will update this post with the new design once it's live.

 Is there a Linux app?

When they came for the Bugles and Little Debbies I was silent. They even stole Delissio pizza from us, and again I was silent. Now they want to take Kleenex away from Canada. I call all fellow Canadians to do something about it eh Gates, a new paradigm in @pixelfed that combine roles and permissions to allow admins, users, and others to define fine-grained limits for every action or request. We already have Sudo mode, and this extends features like Sudo mode to mobile apps and other clients! I'll be sharing more details about #pixelfedGates soon

User invites, group invites, 2FA + oauth, federated interactions, there are so many related features this will ship along! Not to mention this will significantly improve the performance of every route as we'll be eliminating two middlewares that are called on every request!  Also, just want to point out that @pixelfed has an intuitive Server Directory feature built-in. You can submit your server to https://pixelfed.org/servers from your admin dashboard And I built in the other side into https://pixelfed.org so I can review and approve/reject server directory listings. Currently working on the https://pixelfed.org dashboard, making it easier for me to manage our server directory. Although I'm the only person who ever uses this, I wanted to share this so you can see how I have to balance my time between core dev, app dev and ecosystem dev. I know the app store launch is important, and is my main priority, but at the same time, our ecosystem depends on services/tools like these. It's all about balance 😎

 @dansup Tooling is HIGHLY underrated. You can build it, but without having tools to maintain it you're pretty much hosed. You'll wind up building them regardless to save your sanity. @dansup doesn’t it go against the fediverse idea that one person controls the more or less central hub of such a part of the system? (The directory/listings) It’s raining, and I don’t feel like coding tonight so imma color this if I can find some pencil crayons. Results will be on my pixelfed @dansup@pixelfed.social #trixieAndKatyaColoringBook There are so many interesting problems to solve with regards to @pixelfed and scaling/performance One example is how I'm debating weather to keep a full redis sorted set of followers for each account or just a hundred and use db for pagination (when appropriate) to reduce RAM and make more room for other features. It's basically a game of whack a CRUD where you're hitting bottlenecks with cache but then cache become bottlenecks 😅 @dansup @pixelfed initially just let your DB handle caching for those situations, it is made for it. Of course that does require proper queries and decent indexes. PostgreSQL is great for that reason as it has the analysis/explains where one can update things. Adding a redis etc, is side cache, allowing your DB to cache more can be more than enough. Less moving parts, less cache inconsistencies. Pixelfed v0.11.9 is out and packs some powerful features! ✨ Import from Instagram And yes, it's only been 2 months since v0.11.8 was released, it's been a productive summer ☀️

Pixelfed does support disabling comments, and it even federates, but it doesn't prevent comments from Mastodon and other implementations. We're working on better comment controls, and look forward to working with Mastodon and others on compatibility. #activitypub #comments #commentControl

Comment control is really needed, I should be able to stop these two "passionate" people from arguing in my comments   Don't mean to sound like a broken record, but honesty, integrity and trust are super important to me I probably share too much, and more importantly, I've realized how freeing it is to be vulnerable and open, and to be able to publicly acknowledge your faults I'm not ashamed of my drunken rants about how much I love the fediverse, or how we can improve it Y'all keep me grounded, and I love that. This here, what we're building, can last generations, if built properly.  @dansup Mate I love how open you are with Pixelfed dev. I wish certain other open source project devs would be more like you.  @dansup In my book it's a sign of true maturity when a person is confident enough in their strengths that they don't feel the need to cover up or deny their faults and weaknesses. Many people live out their lives being afraid of appearing weak if they ever acknowledge they made a mistake or are simply not that good at something (or anything). |

@dansup The Jony Ive of Website design. ;-). I am only teasing you, not trolling. Minimalism is a challenge. You have it down to an art.
@dansup LGTM 👍
@dansup simple is good too! It’s hard when you’re making other great projects and forget your own sometimes. Keep up the good work you’re doing!
