Someone please build a Fediverse-enabled Meetup.com-style application for groups to post events that others can RSVP to.

@ramsey Smithereen can do this but it's my own ActivityPub extension incompatible with anything else

Sean Tilley

@ramsey This exists in several different projects, but they need to collaborate on one standard way of doing things.

https://joinmobilizon.org https://gancio.org/ https://gath.io/

Friendica and Hubzilla also support this.

Wow, how I love #JetBrains IDEs!

I wanted to make a change to an open source #Rust project that I’m using, but I don’t know a lot about Rust. I opened the project in JetBrains’s #RustRover IDE and was able to navigate it easily and figure out how things work enough to make the changes I needed.

@ramsey I hate that Rust Rovwr didn’t exist when I was first learning.

Mo :ferris: :tux:

@ramsey Same impression with Rust-Analyzer in any editor. A language server is a must these days :D

⚛️Revertron

@ramsey I use JetBrains' IDEs for 18 years, and I concur.

What's the performance impact of logging in #PHP? Is there an I/O difference between writing to `STDERR` or `STDOUT` vs. a local file on disk?

I've heard folks like @rasmus speak in the past about ensuring you don't have errors because, even if you have error logging set to `error_reporting(0);` (i.e., "off"), the error handler is still invoked, so there's still a tiny a perf. hit, but I'm curious about the I/O impact between the various log streams.

will talk for elePHPants!

@ramsey From an academic point that seems an interesting question indeed!

From a performance point of view I'd say "when that is your problem, you got other problems"

/cc @rasmus

Jim Winstead

@ramsey I’m not sure what the real-world performance impact would be, but isn’t `STDOUT` line-buffered and `STDERR` isn’t (and a file would depend on how you opened it)? @rasmus

Buathier

@ramsey @rasmus I worked a few years with logging on legacy systems. My approach was writing into rotating files (some were minutely with max 10 files because of the stream size). Filebeat streaming to logstash parsing to elastic (all in private network on VMs). The only problems I had to face was managing the free space. I used the rotating logs on FS as a broker. I don’t really know the impact of file logging as I did, but this was negligible in comparison with all the legacy bad designs.

If someone blocks you, they don’t owe you a reason. They don’t owe you anything. Pursuing them in other places to find out why they blocked you or to ask them to remove the block could be considered harassment. Don’t do that. Just accept it and move on.

I’ve been blocked by people I respect, and it does feel bad, but you aren’t entitled to a reason. Respect their freedom of association.

@ramsey I probably blocked thousands of people by now. People have the right to feel offended by it. I don't care. My mental health is more important. I have been harassed by people I blocked before. One time, it escalated to my fearing for my physical safety and getting a lawyer involved. Don't be that person. If you get blocked, just move on. Don't dwell on it. Maybe the person was wrong in blocking you, maybe they weren't, but it's not up to you. You can survive without them in your feed.

Alex Rock

@ramsey I've been blocked by many Symfony Core contributors, this lead to me being totally expelled from the SymfonyConnect website, so it all depends on the blocking contexts, I guess.

Blocks on social networks or email is no big deal, we all do it, I do it very often too.

On websites and applications that are used for work, however, I don't agree at all, and I think it should be forbidden somehow, unless court trial says so.

Dave Snowden

@ramsey if they continue to talk about after they have blocked, that’s wrong

Boo Ramsey 🧛🏻‍♂️🧟‍♂️👻🎃

It boils my blood to hear folks insinuate that #PHP is the source of their performance problems and they should switch to microservices in another language to fix the performance issues. Maybe spend a little bit of time figuring out where your bottlenecks are and fix those, first!

(This may or may not be a sub-toot.)

And, if you look very closely at acknowledgements, my name is listed. 🥰

@ramsey ~~I will still double check if UUID is actually unique in my DB~~

Mattie Schraeder

@ramsey This is amazing! It's one of the features I'd been wishing PHP had since I started learning C# 15 years ago. 😂

I’d like to replace my Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X. It’s performed well for the past 7+ years, but over the last year, I’ve noticed a significant drop in my network performance.

I thought it was my ISP, but I’m getting consistent 1 Gbps down/up at their router, so it’s either the EdgeRouter X, a DLink switch, or the 3 Ubiquiti AP AC Pro units I have (if it’s any of them, it must be all 3, since I’ve connected to each for testing). My hunch is it’s the EdgeRouter X.

Any recommendations?

Chris Hartjes

@ramsey Do you want to stay with Ubiquiti stuff?

Mike Harrison

@ramsey Consider the TP-Link Omada gear. Like Ubiquiti, you can do integrated management of all the gear. (WiFi AP's, Switches, etc..) but I like how it also has a good option for an onsite controller and it works well without an upstream/cloud management account. All local. - Currently have Ubiquiti at home, have Omada and Ubiquiti at locations I manage, and home may go Omada soon.

Alexey Skobkin

@ramsey
If you're not scared of advanced network configuration, then @mikrotik.

Their devices are very good and they have a good OS which is continuously updated over years, so you won't find yourself with a router which OS is 5 years old.
But they mostly don't have "magic" features like "click this blue button to set up your entire network". Only simple "Quick Setup" and then mostly advanced configuration.

Recruiter: “I’m contacting you because I think you’d be a great fit. Are you available for a chat?”

Me: “I have availability between these times tomorrow.”

Recruiter: “Great! Here’s a link to my Calendly. I’ve opened up a time slot for you to reserve for tomorrow.”

Me: visits link and finds no slots available because others have already booked them in the time it took me to respond to the email.

Why did she do that and not book the meeting herself, if she wanted to talk to me?

@ramsey Running her calendar like an airline, strategically overbooking to insure 100% utilization. Classy, like JetBlue.

nyx

@ramsey she wants the money that goes with finding a candidate that gets hired, not you.

Stephen Yeargin

@ramsey I doubt she ever checked. There are great recruiters out there, but many are fresh-out-of-college and it was either this or sell insurance.

Boo Ramsey 🧛🏻‍♂️🧟‍♂️👻🎃

Today, I was cut in layoffs. I’m so gutted because I loved this company, & my team was the best; I’ll miss my team most.

Now, as I look ahead, I’m searching for a staff/principal role where I can help other developers level-up through mentoring, tooling/infra, architecture, & improving DX. I’d love to work with a company contributing to open source & even to the #PHP programming language itself.

If you’d like to work with me, you can find my contact info on my website: ben.ramsey.dev

How do folks take 20-30 minute naps? It takes me at least 20-30 minutes to fall asleep, no matter what’s going on. I would like to learn how to take short naps.

@ramsey I watch science videos about quantum physics and I'm out in no time.

Alexey Skobkin

@ramsey
It takes hours for me to fall asleep. So short naps for are just rest for my eyes 🤷‍♂️

Ale sa Pilipinas!

@ramsey I take those every night after spending 6 hours to fall asleep :^)

I was a little disappointed that not a single person mentioned Mastodon or the Fediverse from stage at #LaraconUS, despite most of the speakers having Fediverse profiles.

There were a couple mentions of Threads, but only as jokes (e.g., “Does anyone still use that?”).

Andy Millington

@ramsey Nuno is pretty active on here which I appreciate. I wish the platform was embraced more. For me, it is a no brainer to use

Boo Ramsey 🧛🏻‍♂️🧟‍♂️👻🎃

So far, the first three speakers at #LaraconUS have presence on the Fediverse!

Boo Ramsey 🧛🏻‍♂️🧟‍♂️👻🎃

More talks in the community like @zuzana_kunckova’s “Curse of Knowledge,” please! We need to learn better and more empathetic ways to respond when helping others with programming questions.

Boo Ramsey 🧛🏻‍♂️🧟‍♂️👻🎃

@zuzana_kunckova Tips for helping answer programming questions:

* Short answers
* Avoid acronyms, technical jargon, complicated words
* Use code snippets sparingly
* Be specific
* Give the benefit of the doubt and be kind

What is a #CID?

It’s some kind of identifier that AT Protocol appears to use, but I can’t find a definitive resource on what it is or how it’s defined, and it appears to be related somehow to cryptocurrency (maybe?).

To make matters worse, there doesn’t appear to be any #PHP libraries that will parse or create CIDs.

There’s this one, but it doesn’t appear to support all CID codecs (not sure I understand that correctly)? github.com/danny50610/php-cid

John Godsland

@ramsey The only reference I can find to it in the documentation is here: atproto.com/guides/application. Looks like it's a sha256 of content used to track whether something has been edited.

Boo Ramsey 🧛🏻‍♂️🧟‍♂️👻🎃

I decided to play around with the AT Protocol, so I put together a very rough & very early #PHP library to play around with the concepts.

If you're interested, check it out, & I'd love to have others contribute to round it out and make it full-featured.

Ultimately, I’d love this library to be a starting point for working on some #ActivityPub / #ATProtocol bridging.

@ramsey since you're using PSR7 factories, you might perhaps be interested with this : github.com/loophp/psr17

Alexey Skobkin

@ramsey
By the way, do you have a good AP library in mind?

Boo Ramsey 🧛🏻‍♂️🧟‍♂️👻🎃

#PhpStorm decided to start auto-formatting docblock comments recently, and I don't know how to disable it.

Does anyone know what this setting is called and where it is, so I can turn it off?

Boo Ramsey 🧛🏻‍♂️🧟‍♂️👻🎃

Additionally, it began auto-formatting (i.e., lining up in columns) parameters in multi-line method signatures. How do I turn that off?

Now that GitHub supports adding social links other than Twitter (i.e., Mastodon), I’ve dropped my Twitter profile from my GitHub profile and have added Mastodon. github.com/ramsey

Thanks, @nova!

@ramsey I’ve just done likewise on GitHub (although I only really use Bitbucket and don’t have a public profile on that).

When Twitter killed Tweetbot, they made me take Mastodon seriously. Sort of. And I’m down £50 on Ivory + guilt trip instance admin donation.

Here’s the thing though… I follow around 70 people on Twitter, mostly non-tech. And only one of those is on Mastodon. One.
