@polymerwitch @kawaiipunk the quite nice setup I run for pixie.town is hosted at home, but renting a tiny vps (at Hetzner but could be anywhere) that all the traffic gets vpn'ed through to obscure my home ip

when someone complains about all the wasted space on a website that could have content in it, i ignore all their website design opinions forever

it's such a bizarrely common take that empty space is wasted space and you should have information blasted into your eyeballs from every square centimeter of the monitor. please space things out nicely so i can read them normal. i am willing to scroll, that's fine

the only redeeming feature zoom has (and jitsi works just the same) is that it's based solely around you joining meetings, you can't just get cold-called out of nowhere like skype/teams etc

@erikk@chaos.social well keeping track of them is what your package.json is for, and the vast majority of dependencies following this principle basically never have to be updated, and if they do their API will be consistent enough that it's a very simple process. Almost all issues happen when you start using big monoliths like lodash that have such an immense api surface

Pretty wild how common the "your library needs to reinvent wheels at least 500 lines worth or else it's BAD" mentality still is, you'd think it's obvious that small dependencies are the perfect 'do one thing, do it well' philosophy...

@ChaosSkeleton i'd like to file an appeal, seems something went wrong in the process
