Replying to all the random individuals that seem to think that I’m “endorsing” one of the Fediverse products over any other, and seem to be making a big deal over #akkoma vs #mastodon etc.

That’s not the case. I’m actually a horrible MIS person, and I would never want to maintain my own server. I’m a programmer for chrissake!

The same way you should fear me if I hold a soldering iron, you should be very very nervous if I were to do any server management.

So all credit (or blame) for the choice of Fediverse platform goes to @monsieuricon, who maintains kernel.org and just made it really easy for me to try this out.

… and on a similar note: not only am I not much of a MIS person, I’m also not much of a social networking person.

I foresee a lot of disappointment in the future of any followers of this account 🔮.

As of 3 days ago Linus Trovalds and other kernel developers are now ont he fedi @torvalds is his handle if you want to follow.

@sandorspruit It might be of limited help yea.. The problem is pipelines everywhere are going to break, docker will become damn near unusuable. There is no magical cure for that.

Thanks, I am aware of most of this and how to host my own docker registry... but this issue goes much deeper than that.

@PawelK As lkong as I can replace docker swarm and docker with something equivelant I will.. I built a lot on top of dockerswarm that will be hard to move from.

@freemo Yea the design decision to allow image names to fall back to docker by default was plenty questionable but is now definitely on the wrong side of history. It's funny that it's by their own hand and amidst a wave of supply chain and typosquatting attacks

@arichtman Yea agreed. Right now im already looking to jump ship from docker (should there be a good alternative) and most of the reason is the fall back to hub...

I suspect docker removing the free tier is going to absolutely devistate them. All the open-source software, which is what dominated docker, is now scrambling to find alternatives.

Also since docker treates docker hub as first class for fetching images I suspect people will move off docker entierly.

It is going to be pretty crazy for the open source community too having all the images they depend on just disapear. Dev chains everywhere are going to break...

Usually as far as I can tell societies tend to go into phases where everyone is basically bat-shit crazy.. They either bounce back and go back to sanity when they see how bad that is, or they collapse.

The usa is in the bat-shit crazy phase, so it will resolve one of two ways pretty quick and we will see a radical change. Lets just hope its not the direction of collapse.

@voidabyss

The collapse of any nation will disrupt the world, and certainly one as big as the USA... Short term I dont think anyone will be happy and it willhurt many... long term, maybe it will be for the better, its hard to say. In my eyes America is in one of the worst states of all countries but other countries are just a hair behind us when it comes to self-destructive qualities... so it would not suprise me that if the USA collapsed it would cause a lot of other countries to collapse too.

My fear is the collapse of western societies might lead to a super power gaining control and makiing things much worse.

@Pat

It has been only a day since I discovered jira from the command line, but my god it has probably already doubled my productivity.

Will the United States collapse before the end of this decade?

@Pat Only took 4 years for the soviet union to collapse... so maybe. I would not be the least bit surprised if it did.

@freemo Same here :blobcatgiggle:

In the past and as a kid ive run dozens of RuneScape, Habbo en WoW servers but it's always 'stolen software' and from someone else that i do not understand :blobcatgiggle:

This time I want to know every inch of it and let it be community-inspired!

At some point it will also be added to Steam 💪

Source is here btw: gitlab.com/mstdn/craft

@stux Awesome man... creating your own software is a whole new ball game... worth every second, a hell of a lot of work, plenty of mistakes to learn from... but so damn rewarding... No doubt youll have something you will be excited about if you follow it through. The bigger your project gets (assuming you keep it clean and keep rewriting shit till its perfect as you go) the more exciting it is to work with, at least for me.

Resource checks against requirements for crafting now works :blobcheerwitch:

Next part is the 'crafting' itself, just basically removing requireds and adding item :blobwizard:

#GameDev

@stux Havent really went too deep into unreal, im too busy crunching numbers when I code to have the pleasure of doing anything for entertainment sadly... that said doing an MMO has always been one of the things i kept on my bucket list (and have some lowkey toys i did that were mostly text based but rather cool in their own way)
