the first (?) fedi server on an ARPA domain

It's an instance og GoToSocial.

instance started 2025-01-29 to shitpost with a domain that feels almost illegal.

J'avais oublié qu'il existait un mot allemand pour dire "tout casser à force de faire des coupes budgétaires" (kaputtsparen).

Kaputsparen: durch zu starke Einsparungen über Gebühr beeinträchtigen, beschädigen oder gänzlich ruinieren

If one project using open source technology is successful, then the open source projets will benefit from it.

By default, if you are building with Nuxt, I want you to succeed. If you are a third-party provider with a great Nuxt module or integration, I want you to succeed.

Because

1. open source is a community project
2. compensation doesn't follow value
3. success is contagious

Can one have a project with a relational database that is deployed early and often, and not have thousands of SQL migration scripts? Seems like it’s difficult to have both. Maybe there’s some way to “roll up” old migration scripts into one nice SQL schema. I guess running them all on a new database and exporting the schema will do that. 🤔

Prisma provides a "baseline" to reset merge all migration scripts. There are always many migrations though.

In December, the company suffered a breach where attackers gained unauthorized access to one of its customer support portals, PowerSource, and stole sensitive data from 6,505 school districts.

The stolen data includes varying types of information per district, including full names, physical addresses, contact information, Social Security numbers (SSNs), medical data, and grades.

Hydro is a high-level distributed programming framework for Rust. Hydro can help you quickly write scalable distributed services that are correct by construction. Much like Rust helps with memory safety, Hydro helps with distributed safety.

The technology seems promising, but https://blog.sesse.net/blog/tech/2025-01-20-21-45_migrating_away_from_bcachefs.html.

So wait and see and let the time mature the technology.

Promises

1. Bear won't shut down
2. Bear won't sell
3. Beat won't show ads.

The project is built to last. The codebase is intentionally simple and maintainable.

Roadmap:

• full documentation
• support of trusted developers with access to the codebase
• clear instruction to maintain the platform

The roadmap should ensure the platform will live on without Herman.

I've recently chatted to a few bloggers and legal professionals on what a good structure looks like for a project like this. And the common theme was that the legal structure didn't matter nearly as much as the intentions of the people running things.

It means if one platform becomes bigger, then it won't last as someone will want to takeover for profit.

I realized that one of the best things about open source software is that you can solve a problem once and then you can slap an open source license on that solution and you will never have to solve that problem ever again, no matter who’s employing you in the future.

I like to say that my interest in open source is actually really selfish. I figured something out. I never want to have to do this work ever again.

“Visualize the workflow of a physical job: produce, produce, produce, produce, produce, produce, produce, produce, produce.
Now visualize the workflow of a creative knowledge worker: nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, flash of brilliance, nothing, nothing, nothing.” —Jay Cross (1944-2015)

The paper is pertinent, but it is hardly actionable as is.

Fulgurante [augmentation des prix du timbre], année après année, sans que rien ne le justifie. D’autant que le bénéfice net de La Poste s’élevait au premier semestre 2024 à 495 millions d’euros.

Simultanément, la création de la Banque postale fait entrer la Poste dans une nouvelle ère. Il n’y a plus «aucune obligation de service public pour la filiale de La Poste» écrit la cour des comptes. Cette banque doit faire de l’argent, et devient le cœur du groupe

Comme d’habitude, les profits sont privatisés et les pertes sont payées par le contribuable. L’État verse 500 millions d’euros chaque année à La Poste au titre des missions de service public. Mais de service public, il n’y en a plus. La Poste avait l’obligation de maintenir un réseau de 17.000 «points de contact» en France pour que «moins de 10 % de la population d’un département s’en trouve éloignée de moins de 5 kilomètres». Mais la direction ne tient pas parole, elle a fermé des centaines de bureaux en quelques années, en particulier en zone rurale, qui sont privées de services postaux. Même dans les grandes villes comme Nantes, certains bureaux ferment dans les quartiers.

C'est donc la fin des SMS, pour le "Rich Communication Service".

Le RCS utilise pour cela les réseaux de données (wi-fi, 4G, 5G)

Mais ces cas sont limités : en décembre 2024, 87 % des téléphones mobiles étaient compatibles.

Donc on perd 13% des téléphones avec cette abandon.

Et que se passe-t-il dans les zones sans wi-fi et réseaux de données mobiles?
