This world is so damn small sometimes. Having an issue with #sensu and the #ruby runtime it uses for sensu-go (long story), so I try to get the sensu-ruby-runtime updated, and what do I see? It uses Ruby-install from @postmodern who I already followed on mastodon.
Hey! You want to have a look beyond #php|s own nose? My colleagues are organizing the #ruby unconf again. It will be on the 10th and 11th of June in the lovely city of Hamburg: https://2023.rubyunconf.eu
Unfortunately I can't attend but from what I read on our mailinglists, it will be awesome!
Once I get a stable job, I'm thinking of setting up a Mastodon/(Miss/Calc/Found)key server for me and my immediate family (which), but I'm debating on whether or not to go the #Mastodon route or go the #Misskey route; I know that Misskey may be easier to use because it only uses #javascript for its stack compared to Mastodon using JavaScript and #Ruby for its stack. I'm also debating what policies to implement to moderate my server; I will for sure adopt my current server's rules with a few edits, but I don't know what other rules I should enforce and how to enforce them.
I created an account on botsin.space to showcase a framework I made, also called JokeBot, for posting #jokes on the fediverse; I originally posted jokes on my current account, but it was posting a bit too "loudly." Hence, that's why @JokeBot is here.
@JokeBot is currently fully operational; I already boosted its first post, and I will continue to boost its posts for my existing followers to see them.
I have a #big#announcement: I am accepting #contributions to JokeBot! I added support for making JokeBot translatable into other #languages, and I need some help translating JokeBot into as many languages as possible, so it can be used by non-English speakers. If you would like to contribute, please see the contributing guidelines; you will see a section linking to a localization guide in these guidelines. Also, please make sure that you open an issue before you open a PR, so others will know that a #translation is a work in progress.
I made a suuuuuper ez mode tutorial on deploying and maintaining a custom site for my friend that’s about to look for a job. I’m curious if y’all know of a better method than this that’s also free. Let me know 😊 https://jeffreylikeswebsites.com/posts/how-to-do-this/#jekyll#ruby
Dear #Ruby friends, I know there's some reticence to interact with Hacker News, but I think it behooves our community to try to be of assistance when folks ask good faith questions about Ruby in rare positive threads like this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35712099
If someone's interested to form a small response team to help guide folks with (non-snarky I beg you) responses, I think it would be a net benefit for the community.
It can be too easy to overly focus on potholes from inside and outside.
p12 certificate support has been dropped in OpenSSL 3.0
There are a lot of libraries and docs that talk about using that cert format when signing your .pkpass file. Don't. It won't work and will only bring you pain.
X509 (.cer) plus a PEM file w/ a password is the way forward.
Related: I've wandered into forking & updating the passbook #Ruby gem to work in the modern day. Details to follow when it's ready to release.
I'm starting to wonder if my #framework is ready to enter #release#candidate phase. The #mastodon adapter is pretty much ready, so I am thinking about releasing V1. I am debating on whether or not to to add localization support; If I do, then I'll have to postpone the RC phase.
The prospect of maintaining a #Ruby on #Rails app is undoubtedly the #1 reason people and organizations aren't too keen on running their own #Mastodon instances. Not bashing on #RoR — it's just not relatable tech to most in 2023. Are any of the alternative server implementations good enough?
I’ll probably regret asking, but what are people’s preferred #ruby#authentication gems these days?
I’ve used but hated #devise. Have no opinions on #clearance. Really enjoyed #sorcery but it seems like there’s a v1 rewrite happening which I am always suspicious of. I have been reading up on #rodauth but since this is going to be a #rails app I’m hesitant to jam #roda into it. And does the answer change for an api-only app?
The answer is to suck it up and use devise isn’t it?
I’m a software engineer at GitHub working on the most impressive metered usage billing system around. My favorite dev languages are #ruby and #javascript, but I venture into #go and #php too.
I’m a dad of 2 and disability advocate currently running for election to my local school board.
Thanks to @nova and the #hachyderm crew for running this server. The open source web and ruby community are what drew me into development, so I love how this is run.
Hey, I'm blinry! I create digital tools and games, and digital art. I mostly use Mastodon to share my joy about things I learn or create. Welcome, everyone! :)
I love my communities: the Chaos community, Jugend Hackt, the Recurse Center.
