opensource

Had a wonderful time today at our second FediDev KR #sprint (@sprints.fedidev.kr) gathering at Turing's Apple (@TuringAppleDev) in #Seoul!

We spent the day contributing to various #fediverse open source projects including @fedify, @hollo, and Hackers' Pub. It was fantastic to see the community come together to build and improve tools for the decentralized social web.

Our participants made some great contributions, and you can read all about what we accomplished in today's blog post.

Looking forward to our next sprint!

Update II on my Plan of Execution

I've had only one system which was up to specs to do the brunt of the work. I've finally also gotten a computer which has EFI.

It's also older since it has no USB-C however the machine was gifted to me, for which I'm thankful. I need the USB-C though, since important peripherals of mine use that.

It has proper cooling, as you've read in current posts and I've now also got a Raspberri Pi5 so I can play with electronic projects. Its got Debian Linux on it, and I'm typing this toot on the machine, using a fresh 128GB microSD card.
The USB-C port on the SBC seems to be only for power,, since using it as a power pass through does not activate my UCB-C multi function device.

this role

How I resent this idiotic piece of text, which is put into every damn rejection mail I receive since a year. More than 100 job applications sent out and no damn job afterwards. For fucks sake I was a senior #developer, a master of #ruby who did the last two years at the job #elixir and guess what did all the other #web backend related bullshit. Like administering #postgresql doing the schema, designing the whole architecture of a legacy backend system written in ruby, writing backends, frontends with #javascript and guess what nothing.

I maintained so called #microservices on #linux with fucking #docker which ran on #openshift or in the pedestrian terms "#kubernetes". Nothing!

I started into being a #software #developer through the damn #hacker scene and was a "founding member" (whatever that means) of a #hackerspace out of which I was kicked out and still suffering the emotional scars. But yeah, fuck that I see. And probably I'm at fault 100% because that's what this shitty #shame based society wants to tell everybody.

In my free-time I dabbled with #lisp #smalltalk and #cpp and #clang and #perl and I wrote #python a little for money too and for extending a little #django app at a hackerspace. Yeah, sure this is also worth nothing.

I tried to do #freelancing for 6 months, but guess what the current project market in #europe is shit and therefore nothing on the table for me either. While I find thousands of dimwits on reddits and everywhere, who are telling me that "I'm not an entrepreneur" or that "I deserve X", because they simply don't like what I write or my face.

Yeah sure, I'm 39 and I have no idea to go to, no damn #community and for fucks sake seem to be now going to join team long-term unemployed... because... yeah absolutely no damn fucking idea why I'm in this mess. What I'm supposed to do and obviously nobody fucking cares anyway.

I once dreamed of being "my own man", being that independent developer, coding happy #foss projects and contributing to #opensource and getting paid for that. But no. World says no to that. World says "go and die".

#job #hiring #getfedihired #gethired #rant

Let me take you #linux people on a little journey. Right now, there is a war. A war between those who fear the future of #nix and #NixOS and those who are apparently not getting the point.

To call something #opensource can mean so much nowadays. When it comes to the idea of an enterprise nixpkgs vs the open source or "community" #nixpkgs, I think it's time to make it clear:

#DeterminateSystems wants to have it's own #RHEL. Functions are decoupled from nix for a reason.

Back in June I wrote about an exciting confluence of digital auth tech:

(1) The commodification of #OIDC infrastructure, (2) the emergence of #FedCM, (3) and the compatibility of both with #indieauth .

In short, it is now easier than ever to log into web applications using your own website as an identity provider. Or at least, it would be, if your favorite web apps supported these agency-enhancing technologies.

My latest blog post: Hacking an IKEA HÖVOLM into a Helmet Rack

https://mikecoats.com/hovolm-helmet-rack/

I received my first ever 3D printer as a present recently, so I decided to put it to some practical use. I designed some new hooks to hold bike helmets securely on an IKEA HÖVOLM.

#3dPrinting #bikeTooter #openSource #openHardware

I've played a bit with the #TODOmd hook and I know how many TODOs there are in some popular Open Source projects:

* CPython: 187 TODOs
* Linux: 3788 TODOs
* Git: 112 TODOs
* Go: 455 TODOs

Source: https://codeberg.org/lig/todo-md/src/branch/main/README.md#examples-of-todo-md-generated-for-some-open-source-projects

What other Open Source projects should I enhance with the TODO.md file?:)

What self-hosted Git forge do people like these days for personal use? (and why? I'm always interested in why)

From what I've seen it sounds like the consensus is Forgejo > Gitea > Gogs, but I would like to know if I'm misreading the situation; or, if there are any other promising up-and-comers.

My latest blog post: Next Trains

https://mikecoats.com/next-trains/

My two-year-old loves trains so any time we can swing past the station and see them is worth the detour. This web app displays the next few arrivals and departures to help us schedule a visit. It's also my first time publishing code as a package on PyPI.

Build local networks with decentralised solutions that are #OpenSource #FreeSoftware and based on #OpenStandards not because you want to fight BigCorp, but because you want to help your neighbours. Focus on solutions, not on problems you can't really solve. Build bridges, not walls. Deal?
