My hot take: Vi, make and C would have gone the way of COBOL a long time ago if it wasn’t for a lot of programmers thinking “my tools are more difficult to use, hence I’m a better programmer”.

REMEMBER US! REMEMBER THAT WE ONCE LIVED!
I run my own Synapse server with bridges to WhatsApp and Telegram, along with a few other services, using Yunohost. I haven’t observed any huge resource usage, and I like the centralized management/update. One possible downside is that you won’t get the latest versions immediately, the Yunohost maintainers take time to test those. I prefer the stability that gives me but if you want to be on the edge a docker setup will be better.
Do you all seriously edit text files directly‽
I use hexedit
for all my programming, that way I can see my text’s source code. It allows things that are impossible with lesser editors, like differentiate l and 1. Newer versions even provide a “live view” that shows your text’s output right beside its source, updated almost instantly. I don’t personally use it as it consumes a lot of resources but it’s a great help if you’re just starting out.
Yes, that’s the plan. The update from 9 to 10 was really easy, the only problem I got was some Python apps which needed a manual pip refresh, but the instructions were all there.
AFAIK, Yunohost on bookworm is already in testing but it’ll be released when the devs feel the update is working correctly.
All those services use a protocol named WebFinger that allows for having the servers in different domains but showing the users as being in a main domain. For example, my self-hosted Synapse server is at matrix.domain.tld, but my users are all like [email protected].
Unfortunately I don’t really know how to set it all up manually, I just let Yumohost take care of managing it.
I’d love this if only to stop the current move to Discord. Moving from forums to a centralized, closed, unsearchable chat system is the worst that’s happened to online communities in a long time.
I like the ideas behind PRQL, although I’ve never used it in an actual project. It compiles down to SQL but has a clearer model based on pipeline and a much better suntax.
Malloy is a similar project but I haven’t look into it yet.
