@filippo put all the functions inside an object called `sodiumIsReady`, so the consumer of your library has to type `sodiumIsReady` in order to use them 😛

@reese lies. All lies
I would not describe these as powerful, but they ARE fanless and idle at 2 watts
@edistro what happened with kollectiva?
I like seeing your posts but they always refer to stuff instead of linking to it or explaining it, and I don't have the time to research everything I read. Is it intentional? It makes what you write less accessible and pushes away people who are on the margins of your target audience
@gabek Honestly considering how bad all the HTML template libraries are in the "good" server side languages, I'm hesitant to call them "good".
Having your SPA run on the server + the client can't be that much worse than having it only run on the client, can it? Especially considering how much the tools have improved over time. I think highly interactive web apps are just hard no matter how you slice it.
But I do wish that there was a way to use the really nice, easy to use, and secure JS based HTML templates like JSX on the server without having to make a full node.js express app.
I think the future could also just be a better HTML template language on the server (for example, JSX inside the "superior server side language") combined with whatever.js on the client.
I wanna do this for go but I haven't had the time to try it yet.. I was inspired by https://xeiaso.net/blog/carcinization-golang
With an editor extension you can even get all the syntax highlighting and type errors with the go code and jsx code on the same page just like it is in a typescript+react dev environment.

Hm. You say "lmao", and yet your ass appears to be intact. How very curious.

Any subreddit that's of any substantial size should break off and start their own community, on their own infrastructure, calling their own shots. Regain control of your community and build something that's your own. People, communication and the connective tissue are serious, and you should treat it seriously. This stuff matters.

People who say "My Twitch stream" give themselves too much credit, It's not yours, Amazon owns it. People who say "My Owncast stream" don't give themselves enough credit. It's all yours, Owncast just helps.

It looks like it allows it? never tried tho.

I no longer want big tech to have control over me and my content.
But I don't want to invest monetarily or intellectually in doing it myself.
So I think somebody else should do it all for me for free.

@joepie91 @riley I don't think it matters that much whether its a docker container, OS package, git clone, etc. All of those work with ghost.
Point I was trying to make is, ghost is more self-contained, it "just works", it has its own sqlite that it uses if you don't configure a db connection, for example. Its minimum viable setup documentation is at **least** 3 times shorter than oldschool WordPress.
And hey, if someone uses one of those sysadmin app store projects, chances are they're a click away from a working secure config for ghost that receives updates.
Docker may not solve maintenance but in my experience it makes maintenance way easier, but that's neither here nor there. Some people like it some people hate it. But I'll say I've been using ghost for about 8 years, most of that time in docker, and besides having to do some maintenance on my custom template, I've had zero problems. I never had to go into the container to fix something, just upload the new version of the template into the web UI. Or take / restore a backup using the web UI.
The point of what I'm talking about: this software does not force me to live in the CLI. I can set it up once in CLI and barely touch it besides version upgrades for like 8 years. And when i do have to go into CLI, i'm always just editing docker compose. When I update the image version, no need to worry about nodejs version conflicts with other apps or anything like that.
