    @isotopp ich sehe vor allem folgende probleme:

    • firmen, die es eigentlich wüssten und könnten, gehen zu solchen hostern, und verlieren neben geld know how und macht über ihre eigenen systeme
    • dogmatismus
    • marktkonzentration aka monopol/oligopolbildung
    • massive zentralisierung "too big to fail"

    @pbarker you dont even need the SCM host's fork function. A fork is no different to any other repository.

    @risottobias ok i guess this is really a question.
    in vcl it would be something like

    sub vcl_backend_fetch { if (bereq.url ~ "^/path/") { set bereq.backend = …; } else { set bereq.backend = …; } }

    slink,
    @slink@fosstodon.org avatar

    @leoncowle @risottobias sure, you can also use req.backend_hint on the client side in most cases. One example where it does not work is when you need the object's hash, e.g. with directors.shard()

    again, this is for . fastly has forked a loooong time ago…

    dear @fsf, I am a supporter and really want to follow you here, but I am annoyed by your repeated posts of the same content. If you consider it important to continue this practice, can you please at least use a marker hashtag for these repeated posts to allow those having seen them often enough to filter them?

    Feeling pumped!

    I just wrote a simple web server in pure V that has very tight memory usage, is extremely stable, and holds up really well to a large number of connections.

    I'm building on top of it to make a convenient standalone web server and then use that to make a web framework.

    Warum zum Henker werden -Vorträge eigentlich immer noch in das Datensilo hochgeladen? 🤔

    Das ist 1) redundant UND 2) ein schlechtes Signal, der Link wird dann oft fälschlich geteilt, UND 3) von den Vortragenden z.T. nicht erwünscht.

    @quincy wenn der CCC es nicht täte, würden gute vorträge dort wohl trotzdem landen und menschen müssten sich mit takedowns beschäftigen.

    mttaggart, to opensource

    Too many folks in the and communities fail to understand that the moral valence of a tool or product is not its primary feature to most users.

    Lemme explain with tomatoes.

    In the US, organic produce sales growth outperforms non-organic produce. It costs more, so why is this true? Two things are going on: first, the organic tomato still tomatoes as well as the non-organic tomato—it may even tomato better! Plus you have the added value of buying a thing you feel good about purchasing. We don't need to unpack "organic" right now, but I hope we can agree the term is designed to signal, among other things, a higher ethical echelon than the alternative.

    So why don't people prefer "organic" software?

    Because unlike the grocery store counterpart, organic software almost never performs the function at the level expected by the user, and often requires assembly. Even worse, it comes with bugs without support. Imagine buying a tomato that came with worms and you could not return it.

    The thing needs to thing as well, if not better, than the alternative to be competitive. Taking the whole population into account, almost no one cares about "free software." Almost no one cares about freedom from advertising; we're all conditioned to accept it as part of internet life. And almost no one cares about privacy in a real sense. Those aren't your primary features, developers; those are bonuses.

    I guess I'm trying to say the whinging about people moving to closed platforms is kinda telling on ourselves. If you sell a wormy tomato, you can't blame the buyer for picking from another shelf.

    @mttaggart can you also solve the funding problem with the tomato analogy?

    @OpenInfra honest feedback: no matter if your conference is any good or not, to me this kind of marketing based around and is a red flag, and i would wish for people in the opensource comminity to avoid such dark patterns.

    WOWOWOW

    I just found a really old post on how to turn lights on and off from the commandline by sending raw bytes cached in a file (we're talking like \x2a\x00\x00\x34\ kinda thing) to it's IP adress.

    I might...be able to make a commandline lifx controller. There doesn't seem to be any out there as of now. Maybe even a #C library if I want to go down the rabbithole of trying to build a library in a language I'm not very familiar with

    It's wonderful that lifx opensources their protocol.

    @mightyspaceman then a bash alias or function should suffice for making a "controller"

    Dass jetzt übrigens jeder Verkehrsverbund ein eigenes System für den Verkauf des Deutschlandtickets implementiert zeigt doch auch wie schief das System ist und dass da zwanghaft an einem System gestgehalten wird das Teil des Problems ist. Es sind vermutlich keine gigantischen Kosten, aber jeder € den ein Verkehrsverbund für Werbung für das Ticket oder die Implementierung der Bezahl- und Verkaufsvorgänge investiert wäre besser aufgehoben als Investition in zuverlässigere Busse und Bahnen.

    @hanno dezentralität und föderalismus sind gut, sie vermeiden monopole, machtmissbrauch usw. wir sind ja im fediverse, wir wissen das.
    aber klar, alles 300x zu entwickeln, ist verschwenderisch auf so vielen ebenen.
    ein guter weg wäre m.e., dass die ÖPVs 2-3 plattformen gemeinsam finanzieren und nutzen.
    hatte das bei der nicht wenigstens halbwegs gut geklappt?

    @hanno das beispiel war bezogen auf gemeinsame entwicklung. dass 300 covid apps dumm wären, sehe ich auch so.
    aber warum findest du die idee bezogen auf #öpnv dumm?
