The frustrating part of #Erlang is that the language is so well designed that I always want to go back to it even though the ecosystem is a huge PITA. I should probably start to extend what I already wrote on the build part to handle more complex systems with dependencies.
@galdor
Erlang fan here. Where could I read more about a takeover by banks? I thought Elixir was used across industries e.g. Toyota was using it. @djrmarques
@fuchsiii@kkarhan@james@nextcloud tiddlywiki has support to save itself to the "server" via WebDAV, Github, Gitlab, Dropbox, Nextcloud. It is shocking how #TiddlyWiki obsoletes multiple apps (like #Wiki, and bookmark managers), #OfflineFirst but also saves to server.
I’ve wanted to get into #Smalltalk for many years, but every time I try I bounce off of the whole Morphic thing.
I really want to be able to develop my GUI project in a more “traditional” way like classic Smalltalk appears to have had and this just doesn’t seem like an improvement and not some thing I have any interest investing in.
@collin similar intent here, but I felt it is not meant for developers but to let users be developers. #Smalltalk environments might be more like #spreadsheets than code.
@collin I think they might have considered it a failure if it is true that users didn't get into modifying the software they were running. Devs not getting it might not have bothered them as much.
@rahoulb well, you tried 👍🏼
Taking the liberty of including @drgeo , who was bringing his software to #Smalltalk (tried #Pharo, switched to #CuisSmall). i.e. knows a thing or two about developing in Smalltalk.

Do you think it would be worth having a category on SocialHub for discussions about funding? Both about funding for software/protocol dev (grants like SoC, NlNet, POSE etc), and about how to sustainably fund instances, the ethics and practicality of different revenue models etc?
@strypey
> separate forum for fediverse funding
Apologies if you intended it to be a "public DM".
Might the explicit use of the word funding put off people? If money is incidental in practice, maybe an existing or new forum for community which organically discusses funding?
To add to his points, I want to encourage everyone supporting pre-emptive blocks to look at that from the POV of our relationships with people using fediverse servers owned by DataFarms, rather than our antipathy to their owners.
@strypey sorry, how does connecting with other networks relate to moving services with connections intact?
#XMPP has #XEP, for servers to specify what features they support. Unless AP servers start enforcing that supported #FEP s be specified, you don't know that a new kid (bully?) on the block will both federate and support account portability (or when they stop supporting something).
I finally have my first Thinkpad. It's an old one, but runs the latest Ubuntu remarkably well. Who new the core2duo was that good? These computers must have been hamstrung with the combination of Windows and spinning hard drives. Now do I have the heart to wipe it and put #haikuos on there? That's what I bought it for.
@pulkomandy
Fan here 🤩
Is there a virtualization layer? OpenBSD, Plan9, have vmx and the like, to run non-native apps under Linux, and create the choice of using the base OS as a daily driver.
Or is running #HaikuOS in a VM on a different base OS the way to use it as a daily driver?
Also, BTW, is the OS design adjacent with KML - kernel-mode Linux? @unfa
@pulkomandy
Thanks for clarifying. I was trying to understand Haiku's approach to (desktop) OS design, and thought a comparision to kernel-mode Linux was valid. So, single-user doesn't mean "run everything as root"? Cool! @unfa
@pulkomandy
Oh. How far do those isolation properties go, beyond Linux's ? I guess #Plan9 is the practical gold standard for that.
Windows games used to basically run in kernel mode, as I recall reading. So, it may not be a bad idea for selected apps. And it is different from running as root, thanks for pointing that out.
Anyway, its already a happy situation, having a freely-available desktop-oriented OS in #HaikuOS
Has anyone built a #plan9-oriented #guix system? I tried one weekend with Plan 9 from User Space, but then realized I had only played around with plan9 in a vm one weekend years ago and don't actually know much about it. But I'd be thrilled to play with your generation in a VM one weekend this year ;)
This is so good on this R400. It's so good I'm considering running it on my Yoga 2 13 now. And I am so happy there is a telegram app in the HaikuDepot. Makes moving files around so much easier than messing with networking. I'm lazy lol #Haiku#HaikuOS#OperatingSystems
Meta is not gonna buy Mastodon or any server, this is based on absolutely nothing and untrue.
Yes, some of us indeed got contacted by Meta/Insta because they are working on a new social platform (this was in the news) and they are looking into joining the Fediverse (Mark Zuckerberg also told this in the recent podcast)
SO.
This contact was about a "heads-up" for a potential big platform to join the network and not for a "take over".
@swansinflight
I do wonder what all this noise is about. Google Chat was on XMPP, and chose to block everybody else after a while. Likewise, after a whie, Meta might well block the fediverse (of which they are not going to be a good citizen of anyway). @stux@The_Augusto
I've successfully installed a #NAT64 server and a #DNS64 Bind9 server in my homelab.
I set the DHCP Option 108 and observed my #iOS and #Android devices immediatly going #IPv6-only and enabling its #CLAT engine.
The most surprising part though was that #macOS did the same.
I've read online multiple times, that it also requires an option in the Router Advertisement, which I currently can't set. But no, it didn't need it and also started CLAT.
Now if only #Windows would do the same...
@jonatan
Cool! Is your "NAT64" server also connected to the public Internet via a "IPv6 capable" ISP?
And do your devices use stable IPs? Likely not, even if they derive it from the MAC ID since e.g. Android randomizes it?
Asking, to see if an IPv6 address can be connected to from outside. With all the chaos that can ensue ;-) ... depending on ISP allowing incoming requests on the downlink, software, etc. @Chaft
@thisismissem@Zach777 happy that #Hubzilla popped up :-) I am no fan of its UX among other thungs, but it is a different take on architecture, in that lemmy-like or pixelfed-like services are plug-ins, and rich authentication and authorization options (basically, account-level moderation) and service building blocks are the core.
ah yes, "monkfruit", the plant with the scientific name siraitia grosvenorii, named after its discoverer, Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor, who discovered it for the first time, prior to which nobody had previously discovered it, being cultivated in china by chinese people, who had not, in fact, discovered it
Does anybody store links as ... entries in their device's addressbook? Store a "Website" field, no "Phone" field, and keywords in the name fields. It might even be standards-compliant, and hence as easy to export and back up as your contacts. And your contacts search will be usable for bookmark search.
I have recently started doing this, and don't yet know how it will work out.
Intriguing that BlueSky is going with a 'URL as ID' approach...
"Custom domain handles are a decentralized way for us to achieve a level of account verification. Curious if '@potus.bsky.social' is actually the president of the US? Once this feature fully lands, you should assume the actual president of the US would have an official domain handle like '@potus.whitehouse.gov'."
@strypey
> costs of personal domain name
Maybe subdomains should be public infrastructure? Or 2nd-level domains should be cheaper? Every citizen should have the option of choosing, say, a name.id.nz
I wonder about the details of why subdomains as ID failed. People get used to whatever ID is in circulation. Govt. ID, phone number, e-mail ID, Instagram handle, etc.
Shen is a portable #lisp like functional programming language with following features: Pattern Matching. Backtracking, Lambda Calculus Consistency, Lazy Evalution, Optional Type Checking, Configurable Type Rules, Integrated Logic Engine, Built-in Compiler-Compiler, Unique Macros, Currying, and also Partial Application
@ramin_hal9001 as I recall reading, Shen is production-ready. What other thing would you suggest the author do to monetize it? Or should he not monetize it? Even GNU/FSF are clear on "free as in speech, not as in beer".

I haven't dug too much into alternatives, but tacitly hard-selling books doesn't seem as bad as, say, advertising. Even GNU sells manuals, for example, for FLOSS likely not as well-designed.
We are spoilt by quality stuff like SQLite and Fabrice Bellard's software being available for free, but let us also recall the difficulties other equally-widespread software like curl had. Donations and support subscriptions only seem to work in a select few instances.
Who owns Bluesky? What’s the role of former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey? What’s Bluesky’s business model? And what prevents another Elon Musk from buying and destroying it 10 years down the line?
Is there a #FOSS software for creating a wishlist e.g. for weddings or birthdays? Ideally it would be a simple #selfhosted or hosted webpage where the admin can add items they fancy and others can browse and reserve them.
