Here's an idea I've been sitting on for a while, in case someone wants to steal it. I have far too many side projects already.
Basically, at least on Mastodon, you can create a post that's visible to "mentioned people only", tag it with a "MutualsOnly" hashtag, and not mention anyone, and only you would see it.
I had a few ideas on how an app you'd log into would show you these posts, but they all have different drawbacks, and it might just not be worth my time. Maybe we'll get mutuals-only posts soon!
If not, feel free to run with this, see if you can make something.
Ho un bel po' di cavalletti come da foto che non uso.
Se non c'è abbastanza spazio per lavorare sopra al mobile dattilo ne segherò un paio per farli più bassi… prima di mettere il mobile per terra, così devo solo abbassarlo e non risollevarlo.
E mi chiedo quanti CEO bocconiani arriverebbero a pianificare una cosa simile.
I really like @xor's Python script for generating domain names from public domain books, so I turned it, with permission, into a website, to make it easier to use.
Redoing a popular, yet largely unmaintained side project of mine and going all in on finding a nice component library to settle down with and raise a site together. Thinking of going with NextUI. They seem stable, but just the right level of branding compatibility to not spend forever tying to fix them for me. #WebDev#SideProject
Firefly III (personal finance),
GlitchTip (Sentry-like error tracking),
Plausible (privacy-focused analytics),
Uptime Kuma (uptime service),
and a few Django side projects.
All of these are running on a cheap ($5.5) VPS from Contabo using CapRover.
By the way, most of the apps described above are one-click deployable.
There is no way, no freaking way that there is a PaaS provider out there that can offer a VPS with the specs I'm getting at this price. And if there is one, please, I want to know.
The specs :
4 vCPU
6 GB RAM
100 GB NVMe
It's even weird that these guys can afford to be this cheap. Feels like there is something fishy going on. Maybe because of the trash UI? Anyway, I've had no issues with them for years.
I've seen a lot of enthusiasm for Fly in the Django community lately. I've tried them once. I'm sure I was doing something wrong or had a trash setup, but I was paying more than $5 for frankly less than a third of the performance I'm getting on this $5 VPS. Platforms like Fly, Vercel, Heroku offer mainly convenience over your average VPS, but I can get 80% of the convenience with CapRover.
I've been working on a rewrite of an old project of mine for the past few days, and I've now got something decent, so I decided to share it. I'm not really sure how to describe it, but it's a CLI + a set of guides. The most notable part of the CLI is a project starter and CRUD views generator.
Maintenant j'aimerais coder un programme qui prends en entrée la sortie texte de weather-cli qui l'insère dans une base de donnée et le poste sur le #Fedivers.
I'd love to have an address book in Mastodon, where I can store users I'd like to check out or message every now and then. Right now, the only way to do so is bookmarking a user's post, but I'd much prefer an address book with names, profile pics and a custom note option, which I can pin as a column in the mastodon UI, ideally with an 'Include user bio' option.
