Gregory's Server
the phone carrier took the money again; want to change the carrier to something cheaper, but that involves installing apps and going to their offices

a friends.grishka.me user walks into a bar. the bartender says Тестовый сервер того fediverse-проекта, пытающегося быть похожим на ВКонтакте.  I understand how this works and I find it deeply cursed. I also kinda like it. (The description didn't work for me tho) The French Revolution lecturer from The Machine Stops encouraging people remixing other people's thoughts and observations basically encouraged people to play The Glass Bead Game.  @bouncepaw i probably need to read/reread both but im having trouble parsing this sentence Just learned that #MoinMoin had an alpha release of 2.0 this March. After 13 or so years of development! This news brings me joy.  @bouncepaw Maybe time to get my own wiki up and running. I had a pretty good experience with MoinMoin 1.x.x. I'm always confused by the notion of Many-to-many in those fancy ORM:s. Creating secret tables behind my back, making me wondering how to get stuff from them. I like my plain SQL. A luddite and a retrograde. @bouncepaw ORMs are in my mental category of "almost always the wrong solution". I'm wary of sticking raw SQL into application code as a matter of course, but I think a query builder is the sweet spot. I've not yet seen a use case that convinced me an ORM was the right choice. (That said, for personal projects I mostly get away with a very thin data layer that just maps function calls to static SQL strings w/ parameters.)  ORM is great for what its name stands for — mapping! It is almost impossible to make typo in table names, fields or whatever. But sadly some tricky sql queries (and creation of rel-tables) must be done in raw SQL (ANSI SQL preferably), because it is clear and explicit. @bouncepaw i like how it's solved with Elixir Ecto where many to many relationships are explicitly defined when defining tables, inserts or queries. Ecto is slightly above SQL but not much. Sometimes I look back at older events and question myself if they were the right thing to do. By “right” I mean “beneficial for me in short- and middle-term”. Sometimes I find unexpected connections between the events that seem unrelated: they actually led to a wonderful event afterwards. Sometimes I find me having made the poorest choice. For example, I DIDN'T HAVE to wear that haircut back then. But I did have it! Why!? You shall find no photos of it, of course. Anyway, I have insomnia again.

 @markarayner I read this at Secondary School way back in the day and still sits in my head 💗 For the brave digital gardeners, Mycorrhiza 1.15 Release Candidate 1 is out. If you are eager to try out the new features and fixes, this is your day. It's not a full-blown release yet. https://github.com/bouncepaw/mycorrhiza/releases/tag/v1.15.0-rc1 Track the progress on 1.15 here: https://github.com/bouncepaw/mycorrhiza/issues/216 I want to try out #XMPP. What's fun over there? What are good clients? Should I read something?  @bouncepaw After trying a bunch of clients, I settled on Psi for the desktop, and aTalk for Android, or Converse.js in the browser if you need one in a pinch. The usual starting site is https://joinjabber.org/ – but also look through https://xmpp.org/ anyway.  1/4 Thoughts after the recent Betula release I think I should get a separate domain for Betula at some point. Domains like betula.* are all taken, which makes no surprise to me, because this is a cool short word. Something like joinbetula.* (akin to the Fediverse tradition) or betulanet.* is manageable. Maybe the-betula.*? 2/4 Also, somebody posted Betula on HackerNews, and it remained on the front page for the whole day. It doubled the number of stars on GitHub, which is fun, because it's just a mirror; the number is still two-digit, but it's big enough to impress, because most repos barely get more than 10. It also brought two subscribers to my Betula! It's not much, but I believe in slow growth. @bouncepaw the boring <thing>project.(org|com) is usually a pretty reliable method for hitting upon something that's available. A hotfix was released for Betula 1.3. The bug was that you could not really type the slash character because it focused the cursor on the search bar. You should upgrade. Introducing Betula 1.3 Betula is a federated self-hosted single-user bookmarking software. Organize your collection with tags. Write descriptions and quotes. Follow each other in #Fediverse. 🌐 Now you can follow other Betula instances! Works well, you can even repost them. Also: dark theme, Random bookmarks, session manager, and more Release notes: https://betula.mycorrhiza.wiki/v1.3.1.html Happy bookmarking!

I'm forking Ladybird and stepping down as SerenityOS BDFL I'm forking Ladybird and stepping down as SerenityOS BDFLLadybird the browser now targets Linux and Mac only. This is somewhat sad but I welcome this change. Now I can finally try Ladybird for real. I wonder what will happen to SerenityOS though. is this anything? a turing machine language? essentially a readable brainfuck? use < and > to move the tape head, and any (non-reserved) word gets written at the current head position the if statements compare the current word against the argument given in parenthesis there are no variables. you can only write data to the tape and hope you remember where you left it it will be interesting to see if i can make the tape store instructions, not just data  |
