Interesting… this year, Apple back-deployed some new APIs (like size classes from iOS to Mac) back to Catalina (first #SwiftUI version) 👀

Hm, I installed this Twitter-like Mastodon skin by @rolle (just one long CSS to copy-paste into your "custom CSS" section, 1 minute of work), and… I think I like this 🤔 https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mastodon-bird-ui/ #MastoAdmin #MastodonAdmin

Oh, interesting… New Mastodon point release, changing signups to be disabled by default.

I honestly didn't realize RedHat was still so popular… I remember it from early 2000s, but I haven't heard much about it since then. I thought distros like Ubuntu and other Debian-based were mostly used on servers now… And I didn't know CentOS got killed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF5pyVUQBH8 #Linux

Deck.blue, a #Bluesky "Tweetdeck" webapp written in Flutter, got featured on TechCrunch: https://techcrunch.com/2024/01/26/deck-blue-brings-a-tweetdeck-experience-to-bluesky-users/

Oh nice, looks like it's official 👀 https://docs.bsky.app/blog/self-host-federation

(I don't know what's the status of the "10 users" limit, at least the Bridgy PDS got it lifted, but even if it's not announced yet I think it's also going away / or will be relaxed soon)

Good read - interesting comparison of how moderation is handled on the Fediverse and #Bluesky, with Fedi being more like a "network of clubs" and Bluesky putting more emphasis on personal preference vs. closed communities, and what this means in practice: https://www.aendra.com/some-thoughts-on-running-a-moderation-service-that-blocks-screenshots/

I got a couple of invite codes for Bluesky that I can share with #iOSDev / #SwiftLang developers, so ping me if you're interested 🌤

#Bluesky has a new logo! https://blueskyweb.xyz/blog/12-21-2023-butterfly 🦋🦋

And the bsky.app is now open to the public (for reading, not for signups) - you can see my profile here: https://bsky.app/profile/mackuba.eu 🎉

#Bluesky is planning to open the webapp to the public soon. But in the meantime, a third party dev @badlogic has built a really nice web client that allows logged out access, so you can see my profile here :) https://skychat.social/#profile/mackuba.eu

Anyone here used both #MySQL and #Postgres a lot and could tell me how they compare for larger DBs? Mostly in terms of performance, assuming I don't need some advanced features - talking about 10s or 100s of GBs, a lot of writes but not that many reads. 🤔 #PostgreSQL

Me to iOS developers I've invited or followed on Bluesky :P

As someone who's been in the Bitcoin/crypto world since 2013, it's sad to me how in a span of a few years it went from a thing that geeks and hackers were naturally drawn to, to something almost universally despised by fellow programmers to the point I have to keep quiet about being a fan of it… I miss those early days.

"I don't have to worry that Bluesky will get bought out and "pull a Reddit" on me, because they literally can't"

I've written a very long blog post about #Bluesky 🙂 It's my "user's guide" that talks about what Bluesky is, what's good to know when you're just starting, the apps & tools that you may want to try, and what about the things that aren't ready yet: https://mackuba.eu/2024/02/21/bluesky-guide/

(This is rather user-focused with not much technical details, I will also write something from a developer's perspective later)

Q for people who have used Elastic Search, esp. for a Mastodon instance: how should I configure it to use less memory (while still having enough)? Right now it seems to eat as much as it wants (~4 GB)...

It's a single-user instance, so the total data size it reports is 40 MB now.

I got a bunch of invite codes for the blue place 🦋🌤 this week, and I'd love to bring more fellow devs there.

So I have 5 codes to give out, with one condition: I need to be able to find some tweets tagged with "Swift(Lang)", "SwiftUI", "iOSDev" or "Ruby" made by you before today in the search 😎
