You wouldn't know her, she goes to another microblogging site.

TIL: `git archive` which makes a tarball/zip of a git repo and a version number. Handy for making things which you can give to someone to deploy.

git archive --remote gitea@gitea.example.org:username/project.git 4.0 --format tar.gz -o webfrontewnd.tar.gz --prefix /srv/service/webfrontend/

@gedeonm I just came by two pieces of his work in zagreb. They are lovely dots of color on the grey street.

If you are publicly visible as a trans person, I guarantee there is a trans person somewhere who wants to be like you (at least in some ways).

But it also gives hope. I think of the person that I saw that gave me enough hope to transition -- someone in my field who didn't lose her career. You never know when you might be that person for someone else.

optician: the results are not good
patient: can I see them?
optician: probably not

demanding that the people asking for things to suck less provide you with step-by-step written instructions on how to make things suck less is a bad look, actually.

especially when the people asking for things to suck less have pointed at what sucks and what can be done to fix it.

One day I’ll write a book „how to build scalable system for the 95%“.

You’ll be able to summarize it with

- pick any mainstream language
- deploy on one server
- deploy Postgres on another server
- double the number of server for redundancy

So many systems I’ve seen lately could run off in memory SQLite and a replication to a CSV file.
Yet there’s a relational database, a document database, a key value store and four services deployed on k8s for all 100MB data and 2000 customers.

White folks, in the age of our Lord 2023, it's time for you to realize that your usage of "spirit animal" is anti-Indigenous. Knock it off.

If any server admins have any tips about moving from masto.host to their own machines please let me know!

"It depends", "can you define that?", "just making sure we're on the same page" are all great starting points but get you maybe 25% towards an actual solution and redirect the bulk of the work back on others. You need empathy and curiosity to listen, but you also need to steer, scope, and bring decisions to the table if you are going to be an actual leader.
