@mariusor Right, I understand what you mean now. Assuming we're looking at the same sibling comment, there are indeed options in Node.js to get an equivalent deployment experience; eg. the built-in experimental SEA thing (https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/single-executable-applications.html) or the older vercel/pkg tool.
@mariusor Hmm, where are you seeing the additional effort being involved? As there's no real operational cost to a dependency being involved, since that's typically handled by the package manager automatically.
Or are you thinking of the "no package manager, only run binaries directly on the system" case specifically?
Huh, got a 'data processing notice' e-mail from a B2B marketing / "contact database" company telling me that my freelance site had been indexed, and... they seem to actually be seriously trying to follow the GDPR in spirit?
Apparently they delete data from their database when it disappears off company sites, and they have a *very* long document explaining in detail why they feel there's "legitimate interest" and it's actually a credible argument ("you made a company site to market your company, and our business directory has the same goal").
Didn't think I'd ever see this.
@mariusor No, I'm genuinely trying to understand what you mean here. To me, there's no relation between "deploying on bare metal" and choice of language at all, so I feel like I must be either missing or misunderstanding something.

Where is that post that goes "I fucked up my repo so bad" and then it's an infographic of the Christian denominations schisming and branching off of one another

25 jaar geleden was 13 mei een zaterdag en net zulk prachtig weer als vandaag. Vijf jaar geleden schreef ik op wat ik die dag zag, hoorde, voelde, en deed. Vanochtend las ik het terug en rolden toch weer tranen over mijn wangen. Het was een dag die voorgoed in mijn lijf bleef wonen.

@mariusor @hongminhee I'm not sure I follow - why would this be any different for Node.js?
@mariusor @hongminhee What does "deployed straight to bare metal" mean here exactly?

Tijdens de demo van zaterdag verbasterde een van ons de leus; hoe laat is het, solidariteit. Nadat men hoe laat is het riep. Antwoorde een van ons met twaalf over een. Meedere anarchisten pikte deze verbastering op en riepen vrolijke mee.
Een socialist met een roeptoeter vroeg om uitleg.
Twaalf over een? vroegt ie
Twaalf over een in de middag antwoorde we
Huh?

Definitely one of the most underrated aspects of a long running mod project like Tamriel Rebuilt is that it kinda becomes a haven for art that is being made with hardly any concern for deadlines or schedules. They have a general cadence they try to keep to, but it seems they often go back over old content to make sure everything is up to standard. Quality first.

“Just stay home” is not a public health strategy.
Non disabled people were livid during stay at home orders. They found the idea of being forced to stay home unpalatable, yet they’re only too happy to demand the disabled do it for the rest of our lives.
Clean air & masking make spaces accessible.
... is the Internet Archive down again?

CW-boost: uspol, actionable
about those government petitions
Those "hit X signatures and the government will consider your request" petitions irritate me to no end. Not because of the people sharing them, but because their institution is such a farce of 'democracy'.
Like, the appeal is clear. "You can influence government policy, just sign these petitions!", and that makes them an appealing tool for governments to use to give citizens the impression that they're participating. But no, you're really not.
Here's the fundamental problem with them: the amounts of signatures that these things require are very high, and the counterpart obligations on the government are extremely low. Generally they require nothing more than 'consideration' or a vote, as they are entirely non-binding in terms of policy.
The result is that, as a petition organizer, you basically always have to spend orders of magnitude more effort getting your petition 'through', than it costs politicians to dismiss it if it doesn't fit into their plans.
That is not democracy. That is not influence. That's a way to suppress citizen participation by exhausting organizers, and nothing more.
I don't have a problem with people choosing to create such petitions, or campaigning for them. But I do have a very big problem with the governments who basically declare that we'll get these fucking crumbs of influence and we shall be happy with them.
No. Fuck that. It's *our* world. Governments do not get to define the ways in which we are allowed to govern ourselves.
@jima @clarfonthey @apisashla Sure, but the same applies for vague dismissals of things - there usually *is* a reason, it's just not necessarily being shared with you.

🥽the system we are in likes to give us all diet love. Love aspertain.
Over and over it puts us in situations where we feel that need and try to fulfill it, and then we are given solutions that taste like love but do not actualize it. Instead of giving the shirt off your back to a person who needs it in front of you, you give it to Goodwill. Instead of pouring devotion on your community you pour it on a celebrity or influencer who cannot be there for you. Instead of doing the hard work of making change yourself you write a letter to a powerful person and hope they care.
Cast your eyes down to people in your life. Try being more simple. You do in fact need to act on your love instincts in ways that matter to be fulfilled and no it is not easy, straightforward or safe.
You have to understand that love is about your need for others to have their needs met, and unless their needs actually get met you will continue starving even if you *feel* full.

🥽 in this moment of oppression and hatred, the starting point of resistance is love. Not the fluffy love of cartoons, but the wild love that drives someone to throw themselves in harms way to protect another. A thing almost all of us are capable of in the right circumstances regardless of our circumstances.
The same pain that drives a NIMBY to sweep an unhoused person out of sight today could tomorrow see them throwing themselves at a police line howling for justice were they to choose to embrace the need the pain represents rather than try to bury it.
Allow yourselves, please, to feel and share the pain. Cry for help. Beg for mercy. Be angry. Be hurt. Talk about your personal experiences. Yes, there are cruel people who will cheer and feel emboldened, there are those who will try to exploit you… but they will always be outnumbered by the people who will see it for what it is and feel the painful need to act.
Whether they will act wisely or quickly, of course, is not predictable.
