Hey. I my own local forward tool. https://github.com/JonLundy/sshfwd it uses ssh port forwards.
Thanks to @TANTlab@twitter.com and @birkbak@birkbak.neocities.org for havning me today at AAU CPH🙏 Presentation notes can be found at: http://darch.dk/aau-tool-talk/
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org there was an old tool for encrypted volumes that you could use random files as the unlock keys. And you could havemultiple hidden volumes that would unlock depending on the files supplied
No on gitlab. If its self hosted gitea is best in class.
I can see hosting a mirror on github if only for the redundancy/visibility. Some projects will host but then direct contributions on their self host. Like Go does.
I would suggest using a vanity domain that can redirect tools like go get to hosting of choice. And not require rewriting all the packages any time it gets moved.
JavaScript : web apps
wut?! 😳 seriously?! 🤦♂️
Python : small tools
Okay 👌
Go: micro services
Umm bad generalization 🤣 – Example yarnd that powers most of Yarn.social 😂
Java: enterprise software
Yes! Oh gawd yes! 🤣 And Java™ needs to die a swift death!
C: crimes
Hmmm? 🤔 I feel this one is going to have some backslash and/or go the way of “Hacker” being misconstrued to mean entirely different/incorrect things as is what’s happening in the media (for various definitions of “media”).
🤔 👋 Reconsidering moving Yarn.social’s development back to Github: Speaking of which (I do not forget); @fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com and I were discussing over a video call two nights ago, as well as @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org who joined a bit later, about the the whole moved of all of my projects and their source code off of Github. Whilst some folks do understand and appreciate my utter disgust over what Microsoft and Copilot did by blatantly scraping open source software’s codebases without even so much as any attempt at attribution or respecting the licenes of many (if not all?) open source projects.
That being said however, @fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com makes a very good and valid argument for putting Yarn.social’s codebases, repositories and issues back on Github for reasons that make me “torn” over my own sense of morality and ethics.
But I can live with this as long as I continue to run and operate my new (yet to be off the ground) company “Self Hosted Pty Ltd” and where it operates it’s own code hosting, servicesa, tools, etc.
Plese comment here on your thoughts. Let us decide togetehr 🤗
I use WKD with my gpg key tool. its quite nice!

Lots. 🤣 The system is small, coherent, and understandable in a way no modern unix is. The namespace operations remain incredibly powerful. And several of the tools built on it, like the way network listeners and the mail server are built, are just much nicer to use, modify, and build on.

If [you take] a look at how APLers communicate when they have ideas, you see code all the time, all day long. The APL community is the only one I’ve seen that regularly can write complete code and talk about it fluently on a whiteboard between humans without hand waving. Even my beloved Scheme programming language cannot boast this. When working with humans on a programming task, almost no one uses their programming languages that primary communication method between themselves and other humans outside of the presence of a computer. That signals to me that they are not, in fact, natural, expedient tools for communicating ideas to other humans. The best practices utilized in most programming languages are, instead, attempts to ameliorate the situation to make the code as tractable and as manageable as possible, but they do not, primarily, represent a demonstration of the naturalness of those languages to human communication. — aaron hsu
agile / scrum is fine, but as a tool for developers to keep tight feedback loops with people who don’t know what they want well enough to give a formal spec; not as a tool for managers to squeeze productivity.
interesting RFC dated April 1st, 1998: Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol (HTCPCP/1.0):
looking at the date this was published, i think the authors originally meant this as an apil’s fool joke/prank.
funny because now we have IOTs and this is somewhat a reality today :P
I wonder if email would be a reasonable way to enable interaction on twtxt… something like publishing an email address for replies in the preamble of your feed, then like twtxt the rest is up to you, but I could imagine a simple moderation queue that could be checked periodically allowing the admin to move approved comments into some public space… I keep thinking I’ll add activitypub comments to my site but it seems more complex than I care for. Ironically because of available tooling email actually feels simpler for this… of course, there is spam…
Twtxt is still very much alive and well. I just wrote a quick tool to crawl as much of the Twtxt network as I could and here’s what the results are:
Crawled 516 feeds
Found 52464 twts
That means there are >500 unique Twtxt feeds/users, and over ~52k Twts posted to date. 😳
@xuu@txt.sour.is Not too happy with WKD’s use of CNAME over SRV for discovery of openpgpkey.. That breaks using SNI pretty quick. I suppose it was setup as a temporary workaround anyhow in the RFC..
@prologic@twtxt.net it is some interesting work to decentralize all the things.. tricky part is finding tooling. i am using a self hacked version of the go openpgp library. A tool to add and remove notations would need to be local since it needs your private key.

While not disagreeing with your point, it is also worth noting that in some contexts developers are regarded as unemployable if they don’t have experience with whatever the latest technology is so it is hardly surprising that people use every opportunity they can to get exposure to the latest tools.
