I thought the US Government bought a lot of software in Ada, so I hope they continue with that.

The Cavern Of Cobol is an active place at the Something Awful forums, I’ve found it a great resource.

Scala is the the first I used and I like it a lot. If I had more time I’d love to give ocaml a decent try but I don’t think I can get into it these days.

I remember playing around with this, never went deep with it but appreciate the project. I really wish more languages had alternative syntax options like this. I’ll give Hy another shot this weekend.

I am still confused how to understand the results about programming language. Desired vs Admired? One means you use it, one means you want to?

I didn’t see the diff command last time, thanks for that. It still feels like a miss for fossil to host a web view and forum but not a pull request-like section.

I checked out fossil once and looks like it doesn’t have an equivalent to Pull Request so I moved on. It wasn’t clear how anyone could begin to be a contributor to a project if I host on fossil.

Execute program is another online learning tool that teaches SQL. I have used it for typescript lessons and like it a lot.

OpenAPI is pretty great. At my last job, we had a code generator to build part of the backend based on OpenAPI spec file, so we always knew the spec was accurate, couldn’t have routes or parameters that weren’t in the spec.

OpenAPI has been around for donkeys years

Lol wut

I like DHH, I’m glad the less-used tools have an advocate in him. There is a trend to winner-takes-all in software, it’s great when other systems/approaches are championed. I think DHH did a good job of explaining why moving out of the cloud worked for his situation and not others. I think he did a worse job explaining why moving to JS and away from TS is good for him. But he was upfront that it’s mostly a personal/subjective choice. He could have handled the transition better, but I think the destination they got to was fine.

There’s so many providers, and they don’t always make it clear when they change hardware. Amazon AWS feels pretty open about it, they are good. I doubt the resource you are looking for will ever exist. You won’t be able to make a purchase decision with all the info you want.

Having said that, you did bring a ton of resources together in this post, thank you for that!

I like this idea. I’ve been self hosting using A VPS cloud server, but this is a great reason to do something in my home.

I think https://masto.host/ offers what you want, you can pay to host mastodon. I haven’t seen the same for Lemmy.

Thanks for the summary, I haven’t heard of it. Sounds similar to kanboard, I’ll check it out.

Please keep working on it, thank you for your effort.

I think it’s cool they are using myBB, I’m a big fan for that style of community.

Self hosting music is still on my TODO list, I’ll check this out later. BTW, what is Scrobbling?

Clearly a sith plot is responsible.

Hey /u/Mac if you know more can you expand? I understand it’s asking me to pick a language, I just don’t understand the warning. If i’m posting in english, it seems I should pick “english”, but the warning makes it sound like i’ll be missing out if I do that. What would I miss out on? What does it mean to “not see most content”? Why even have an option then? It’s just super unclear what happens.

Some issues I’ve seen, mostly related to interactions with mastodon. I generally use Mastodon more so I’ve been playing with it.

1. I can follow a lemmy community on my mastodon account but all the posters do not show their avatar. (actually i just checked again and my avatar shows up, but others don’t, so perhaps there is a long delay?)

2. I replied to a lemmy post on mastodon, and it showed up in lemmy, but when I’m logged in to lemmy and I try to post a reply to that it never publishes, the “post” button becomes the spinner and never makes the reply. This post for reference. This is the only one that feels like a bug.

3. when someone on another lemmy instance makes a post on our community, a mastodon toot goes out, but it links to their post on their community. It makes it a little odd to follow a link and it takes me to another instance than the one hosting the community. Maybe this isn’t a bug, just kinda annoying, kinda fediverse in general it’s tough to bounce between instances. Example. Ok making that link, it’s clear that the “post” originated from the instance. I guess this is just how it works. Message Board systems are a bit more tricky than twitter-style systems.

4. When I make a post, it’s got a warning Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content. and I have no idea what this is talking about.

5. I wish the community page would let me sort the rows by Subscribers.
