Sending positive vibes! Good habits make good software.

@ernest, please. All they need is commits, PRs and comments that add something. True, dev work is full of cool updates and reporting, but it crosses roads with other mundane activities. Devlog is probably going to drain you more than it's worth, so I hope you'll build your priorities straight.

Let's be open: I'm only making a press-kit for Mbin recently (and nothing much) just after being introduced to the fork as a result of @melroy migrating. It's a crazy amount of reviewed and merged pull requests, which I couldn't dream of committing nor reviewing in detail. There is simply a lot that can be done with community harnessing the project. No way this fork would be considered serious if it were to feed everyone with blog updates. At this point, your words set up a head start. It's a matter of whether it will start: will these old habits offer something that was not served already? (Big downtimes happen to be one of those things...)

No idea if any competition will take place - again, introduction to a fork was ever so sudden, making me wonder if it didn't have to come to this. In any case, whatever we continue doing I hope remains healthy for the wider community of contributors and users. Thank you for returning! 🤝

Ernest, we all appreciate all the hard work you put into this place. Thank you!

Thanks for the updates, @ernest!

Is support for third-party apps (through a Kbin API) something we may expect for this first version?

Cheers for the continual update mate, always good to see how the project evolves

Thank you Ernest, and good luck!

I just wanted to say good job on maintaining a healthy work-life balance. I know you're going through tough times right now, and it can be pretty easy to try to distract yourself by overworking until you burn out completely, so I'm glad that you took the time to focus on yourself in a healthy manner before returning to development. Hoping things are going more smoothly for you!

@ernest a jaka planujesz przyszlosc dla karab.in-a? ostatnio usluga zaliczyla kilka downtime'ow w krotkim odstepie czasu, gdzies tez chyba widzialem, ze chyba usunales karab.in z listy swoich projektow (ale to moglo byc jakies inne, stare konto, generalnie informacja na ktora nie powinienem zwracac uwagi :P )

Generalnie w pelni rozumiem natlok pracy i nie mam z tym problemu, po prostu jesli jedna usluga bedzie w jakis sposob porzucona to chcialbym o tym wiedziec, to znajde sobie inne miejsce ;p

karab.in planuję ogarnąć w najbliższym czasie, w przyszłym tygodniu. Jest chyba jakiś problem z aktualizacji dockerowych zależności, których nie mogę szybko ogarnąć. Mam wszystkie backupy w razie gdyby stała się jakaś tragedia, ale w najbliższych dniach będę próbował z tym walczyć, być może nawet postawić go z najnowszym kodem co będzie dobrym testem przed kbin.social. Na pewno nie zamierzam rezygnować z tej instancji.

@ernest dzieki za informacje :) a planujesz wlaczenie tam szerszej federacji?

ernest, 6 months ago

Zdecydowanie tak, zastanawiam się tylko czy nie zrobić domyślnego filtrowania języka na polski.

daredevil, 6 months ago

I hope things get better; looking forward to the infrastructure and devlog updates as well!

I'd say I could help, but web development is one of my least liked subjects in the whole software field...

I started web dev in 1999. It can be one of the most progressive branches of development. I’m using a completely different stack today than I was two years ago. Every day I use a whole suite of different tools and languages. It can be a lot of fun if you enjoy the whole process of learning new technologies.
