(OK, so not really ALL of them… not by a long shot, actually.) 🤦♂️
How cool is this: watch my mouse and keyboard follow seamlessly from my desktop to my Raspberry Pi 🤓
It’s a little app called Synergy that I now have running across my Linux box, 2 Pis, Mac, and Windows clunker. (And VSCode is connected via SSH to the Pi in the video too.)
Has made working on and testing Raspberry Pi support for Site.js (https://sitejs.org) so much simpler :)
Meet the new Site.js (https://sitejs.org) build and deployment box… Yep, that’s a Raspberry Pi 3B+ :)
Given that you cannot cross-compile for ARM in Nexe yet, it’s the only device I have that can build for all four (as of later today) supported platforms (Linux x64, Linux ARM, macOS, and Windows 10).
I hope to have Site.js version 12.8.0 out this afternoon with Linux on ARM support for Raspberry Pi, etc.
Blood money is fine with us, says GitLab: Vetting non-evil customers is ‘time consuming, potentially distracting’

Anyone else seeing extra characters (purely cosmetic) being shown during completions in latest VSCode on Pop!_OS/Ubuntu 19.04 with zsh by chance?
Think it started happening one update ago.

Amnesty International: "Young people have the right to learn & talk about sex! But today Poland will vote on a bill which would make teaching or promoting sexuality education to under 18s a crime punishable with for up to 3 yrs in prison. Support people in Poland opposing this. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2019/10/poland-law-criminalizing-sexuality-education-recklessly-retrogressive/"
Sadly, Switching.social was discontinued but, thanks to the efforts of @tobias, it is being reincarnated as Switching.software.

Thank you, Tobias. And thank you to the original anonymous person who created and maintained it until now.

Hi Fediverse 👋
let me sum up the situation around #switchingsocial
Around September 20th, the original (anonymous) author of switching.social shut down its website and all related Social Media accounts, including mastodon 🤔
This info reached me (@tobias ) the next day via my German version @swisode .
As there hasn't been any sign of life since then, I restored the website and created this new account. Right now I'm out of spare time to work on it, but that'll change in a few weeks 🙂

@sheogorath @tobias @switchingsoftware Thanks for the background. I believe the original author is aware of how much we all appreciated/appreciate the resource.
Congrats on the effort to relaunch it, @tobias
PS. The original author may or may not be a he. They wish to remain anonymous.

@switchingsoftware Hi there, question: who are you?
Your bio says “formerly known as switching.social” but I spoke to the person who was running (and shut down – for personal reasons – switching.social) and they said they don’t know who’s running this and that they’re not involved.
Can you please clarify?
Thank you.
OK, so it gets better: the URL is actually hitting the v2 endpoint. And the dude has a crowdfunder for adding v2 support. Code’s so convoluted and full of marketing BS, I don’t even know where to begin…
My kingdom for a BS-free RFC 8555 implementation for Node.js.
There is a special place in hell for a certain dev who called ACME v1 ACME v2 in his library… I guess I know how I’m spending this week, then. Motherfucker!
(Not to mention added telemetry and an email address requirement to it, which I had to fork X modules to remove…)

So this is happening, apparently ;)
The lovely Nexe folks fixed the compilation bug under Raspberry Pi recently and I woke up this morning to a successful build of Site.js (https://sitejs.org) on the Pi. Will test today on both the 3 and 4 with an eye towards issuing an official release :)
Very exciting… Site.js is about to become the easiest way to deploy sites on Raspberry Pi and might even make Node.js a first-class citizen in that world… ;)

@danarel @aral SourceHut seems to be fairly decent. https://sourcehut.org/ That was always my second choice after GitLab.

@ck @danarel @aral @codeberg Looks like they run on Gitea, which I was going to say is a solid alternative: https://gitea.io
