Day spent mostly dealing with dependabot notifications asking to upgrade actions/checkout from version 3 to 4. 60 or so repos to cover 😫

How's your day going?

🚨 FRIDAY QUIZ TIME 🚨
I have just provisioned a new dedicated #Linux server. It's been deployed running #Ubuntu 22.04.3. I SSH'ed in as root, given the provided credentials. 🤓
QUESTION: What's the very first command I typed after logging in? 🤔

Hoooooooly shit. Slaps like a brick, with a unique wild west vibe. 🤘 https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=Xfga8dIeU14

Starting to build out my own #CSS #MicroFramework to use in a few of my sites. Not bad for an evening's work! 💪 1.5kb minified and gzipped, but I have yet to add a few critical components (header bar, navigation menu, etc.). It's been a fun exercise so far. 😃 https://github.com/haliphax/nubbins/

hmm. I need to either start building documentation about which of my 13 current Ghidra installs have which extensions installed, or I need to set up a ghidra build environment and commit to maintaining a One True Ghidra environment with all the extensions

The virtual keyboard API: https://ishadeed.com/article/virtual-keyboard-api
A way to fix the annoying "when the keyboard is activated, that element will be hidden underneath the keyboard" issues with the web on mobile. Work in progress, only working in Chrome Android, but, it's promissing.

As a software engineer, I use very little math beyond simple arithmetic, and rarely.

As an amateur carpenter making a brain-dead-simple structure for hanging plants, I am whipping trigonometry and ratios around like a t-shirt over my head at a frat party. 😆

Local (public) elementary school coach just used the parents SMS group text to post scripture and ask that everyone attend his church this Sunday, where he is the pastor.

Trying so hard not to lose my agnostic shit right now.

I hate the Bible Belt.

At the point in my website's #perf journey where I'm about to abandon the idea of #CSS frameworks altogether and write my stylesheet from scratch, including only exactly what I need 🧐

@haliphax Fundamentally a different approach to coding, Takahē uses Django as a web framework, backed by a database. I haven't looked at its code, but Django apps are split into many smaller files due to the design of the framework. I might take a look at it next week.

That being said, #Epicyon appears to have more of a "Static Site Generator" philosophy, inasmuch as you can within a fedi server that requires an always-on inbox.

I'm spending some of my free time next week looking at personal fedi servers. I'm not sure what I want is out there yet, but it'll be interesting to see various approaches.

Today in #WTFedi, I bring you Epicyon.net, an old-school Fediverse microblogging server "suitable for self-hosting a small number of accounts on low power systems".

Written in python, it eschews modern advances such as databases and javascript, as a way of limiting its overheads. It stores each individual post as a json file in a directory, almost djb-style.

The thing that caught my attention is that the daemon that does all the fediverse message passing and mastodon api is one single monolithic 1.2MiB #python file.

24,284 lines long.

There are 447 lines of imports alone, mostly of individual functions from the other modules alongside it, placing them in one single namespace.

This is definitely not a style of programming that I'm used to seeing these days, and that would not pass muster in one of my code reviews.

That being said, I am intrigued by the idea, I just find this particular execution of it far from ideal
