is amazing for packaging.

I used a one-liner for creating a Debian package with .

Would you pay $5/month for me to run your own XMPP server?

I'd even set up domains for you, everything basically. And I'd relinquish everything to you on request (I won't pay for domains/transfers though).

I'd do backups and archives. You could pay me to make a tape archive and send it to you.

Is there something like this idea you'd like me to offer?

Would you pay $5 a month for a high uptime XMPP service which allows 100mb file uploads, connecting to any irc server basically?

What kind of basic service that I could serve out of my house would you pay $5 a month for?

I made an and room for (like ).

Same room, two protocols!

XMPP

xmpp:@irc.xmpp.someodd.zip?join
Or https://conversations.im/j/%23smallnet@irc.xmpp.someodd.zip

IRC

irc.someodd.zip 6697 (SSL)
Or

There's maybe too much focus on elegant and good code, systems that support better correctness, when in reality what works best are systems that have an okay degree of correctness assurance and mainly prioritize iteration and prototyping.

Does Haskell lose this battle?

You shouldnt be attached to code. You should feel able to delete and reiterate without too much hesitation. Does Haskell encourage too much "correctness scaffolding?"

@deshipu does it matter how approximate to "the ideal solution" something is if the effort to approach it barely gets an ROI in terms of time-to-outcome?

Do you as a language, lends itself to fast prototyping and iteration?

I'm thinking about pivoting from to

I'll still support my IRC server, but probably end up making my main thing.

I want to look into more before I start a server.

@simonmic fantastic advice. I've been avoiding Stack and just using cabal, often with Nix. Do you feel Stack is important for being more productive and getting things released and distributed?

@someodd@fosstodon.org avatar

@simonmic Thank you for all this stellar advice. I will try some of it out when I try making a plugin for @dillo, since that should be a relatively small project.

I feel for Haskell to survive it needs to be as easy to put together and get running and distributing as Python and Golang is.

I feel like sometimes the idea of starting a new Haskell project is so burdensome, and there's no real "official" way of doing certain things that actually works consistently (like static binaries) that I sometimes just decide a project's not worth it.

We're also in the age of AI now where it's like everything is reduced to glue.

I made a landing page for my IRC service(s).

I make some stuff so that showcase posts like this:

https://www.someodd.zip/showcase/irc-server/

Are generated from simple Markdown like this:

https://github.com/someodd/someodd.github.io/blob/main/showcase/_posts/2024-04-01-irc-server.md

This way it's easy to turn what's basically a blog post into an app/service's one page website.

Is there any future in languages like where AI makes code a factor of small frequently and easily replaced glue and scraps, where whatever is most trained on and most hackable, most easily replaced/iterable is king?

Are big pieces of software that benefit from the architectural assurances Haskell brings a dead paradigm?

AI is here to stay and I feel if something was not already in or out of orbit, it may never reach escape velocity

Please check out the @dillo browser!

I feel it's the most lightweight and charming browsers I've ever used.

and support through plugins!

I think it may have a very powerful and possibly language-agnostic plugin system--maybe fun to develop for.

@jaror ah wonder if it's because of a giant image. How about this page: https://www.someodd.zip/notes/dillo/

@jaror this?

@jaror I edited the link in the original toot or whatever. Is it not updated for you? Thank you for your help.

@dillo thank you for maintaining the dillo project. I'll be updating a post on using dillo. Thank you for your help.

I made an IRC server and hopefully this makes it easy and simple for you too, as well!
