I need every infosec person to understand that surveillance capitalism is structural, not individual, and we are not going to ethically-consume our way out of it please and thank
It's been many months since I've really seriously worked on any of my projects, in the mean time I had some fairly major life upheavals (getting covid, quitting drinking, starting therapy)
But lately I've finally been slowly getting back into it & reorganizing my thoughts. I think I do want to keep working on creating my own homebrew server oriented software project, but I think I'm going to start over at this point. Greenhouse was a bit of a failure and I think I need to completely redesign.

Today, the Bonfire team is excited to announce our beta release 🔥🎉
We’re aware that Bonfire still needs a lot of work - like ensuring it federates as expected and improving configurability, accessibility and user experience - but that’s the point: we decided to launch at this stage with the intention of building the 1.0 release as a community.

ln's postgres optimization tip
put "EXPLAIN ANALYZE" in front of your query, paste output to https://explain.depesz.com/ and look for values in the exclusive column which look way too high. then check in the node column what it is doing and maybe add an appropriate index.
*poof* yer a postgres witch now :3
I still think what I wrote there, my thesis, still holds up 10 yrs later:
> If your app doesn't have a URL, who's going to use it?
