I have an IRC server you can also join from XMPP.

someodd, 13 days ago to GNOME

I installed #gnome to hunker down and "get stuff done" as I was before using #windowmaker, but now that I'm using gnome, some things work nicer and easier, but overall I think I may go back to #windowmaker.

#fpm is amazing for packaging.

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

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?

someodd, 27 days ago to random

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

someodd, 1 month ago to random

I made an #irc and #xmpp room for #smallnet (like #gopher).

Same room, two protocols!

XMPP

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

IRC

irc.someodd.zip 6697 (SSL) #smallnet
Or
ircs://irc.someodd.zip:6697/smallnet

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?"

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

It turns out I really like #xmpp.

someodd, 1 month ago to random

I'm thinking about pivoting from #irc to #xmpp

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

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

Please share with me your wisdom on packaging and distributing software made with #Haskell.

someodd, 1 month ago to random

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.

Please make a post on my #gopher BBS!

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

I make some #jekyll 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 #haskell 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

Anyone accept monero donations for their FOSS project?

Please check out the @dillo browser!

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

#gemini and #gopher support through plugins!

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

someodd, 1 month ago to haskell

Could I get some love, please?

I feel I'm developing lots of software in #haskell for #gopher and cool things.

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

someodd, 1 month ago to debian

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

NEW IRC SERVER PREVIEW: sneak peak for #fosstodon and #gopher people and select others first!

May be unstable for up to 3 days. Has services.

I'm just thinking about how if you properly package your software for easy installation especially on a variety of popular operating systems, you're really putting yourself ahead of the herd, I think.

I feel like generating a Debian package for a cabal/Haskell project should just be one or a few commands, yet it generally has been very involving for me, even if I also have a nix flake. Tips?

someodd, 1 month ago to random

I forgot about @dillo! I might try it this weekend. Apparently it has a Gopher plugin?

someodd, 1 month ago to random

@dillo I tried to sudo apt-get install dillo -- it basically works, Although, when I tried to install the Gopher plugin, I noticed to get this plugin working, dpid should be running or the like. I'm running Debian Sid. For me this is in:

/usr/libexec/dillo/dpid
/usr/libexec/dillo/dpidc

Am I supposed to do something to get plugins working/have dpid running?
