#openSource community:

If you move away from Big Tech because you want more freedom, transparency and arbitrary platform decisions…

Can (not may) a platform like #Codeberg decide which kinds of projects are welcome?

Or is that the 1st step onto a slippery slope where today’s “obvious” exclusions become tomorrow’s subjective ones?

Where do you draw the line between responsible stewardship and becoming the gatekeeper you wanted to escape? 🤔

I've literally written my own homepage system of scripts/pipelines multiple times and that was the fun. The content is not anything I'm concerned with. It's the making the process: editor, picture uploading, cdn integration, forms for feedback, pipeline to reprocess, backed by sqlite/postgresql. etc.

This is why I currently don't have a homepage... the old one doesn't interest me anymore so I deleted it.

But the impulse to build again is coming. I can feel it. This time all deployed on Kubernetes. Maybe there will be layers of BS involved: Ceph, redis, MySQL, video processing, etc

Wife is making Korean spicy curry today for dinner and it smells so good. 🤤

Still has at least a good hour of simmering. 😭

I see the SFPD (or DA office?) is still not getting much done. Over the years since ~2004 I've had numerous colleagues and friends file police reports. I literally have zero people I know directly that had any kind of action after being a victim of crime. Zero. Most of the crime is just property damage like car being broken into or stolen. But when you read stuff like this… it’s just super maddening. When nothing happens with a property crime report you tell yourself, "oh they are working on something serious". nope.

So because I am a British what moved to America, some British traits persist in me. For example, if we have a contractor round for any reason, I’m gonna offer them a drink - to include a cup of tea.

We had a guy come over to look at our dryer yesterday because it recently exploded. The look on his face when I offered him a drink. It was like I’d just offered to pay off his mortgage.

“Oh man, yeah please.”

My wife (American), thinks it’s such a strange thing I do.

America, we must normalize this practice. Become responsible for hydrating anyone who sets foot in your home.

Last night I had a dream I was at an #Apple Store and I noticed some dude came in to pickup his new Mac Studio. He looked at the box and noticed it was scrapped and so declined to take it and got a refund.

After he left the store, I quickly jumped over to the tech asking, "hey how much is that? maybe I'll buy it!". Apple guy was like, "about $12k" (note: this price is dream nonsense). Without thinking I immediately say I'll take it. All I could think about was oodles of RAM.

I get home, realize I never asked what the specs were and get worried... Open the box and realize it is a M5 Max with just 48GB of ram and like 8TB SSD. I was so pissed I woke up. Took me a good 30min to fall back to sleep I was so angry someone would buy 8TB of storage from Apple.
