Someone wrote a blog post titled something like "I am not your vendor" not too long ago.

Google isn't helping me, and I think the toot disappeared too. At least none of the search words I could think of gave me any hits.

If you know what I'm talking about, could you send me a link 🙏

Now: here’s a puzzle. Help me, #FediBrain.

This area is called the Old Tannery, and that building to the left is the Old Rectory. And in the road here, a very large piece of ironwork.

I assume it’s a weighbridge, but why here? 🤔

Hullo #fedibrain - can you pls help?

A dear friend—who’s since passed—and I pushed this idea into the world almost 19 years ago.

https://nettime.org/Lists-Archives/nettime-l-0404/msg00003.html

Since then a lot has happened.

I’d like to revisit aspects of this manifesto for a 1st year Uni design history & theory class I’m tutoring next year. Many of the students will be a similar age to the text.

What comes up for you all?

What would you do with this?

TIA! 🙏🏼

What is your favourite system for carrying out translations? Weblate? Locize? Other…? (And why?)

Which would be most suitable for a free and open source project would you think?

(And is there any library and/or service that you’ve found especially useful for JavaScript projects – both on the server and client sides – i18next, etc?)

Thanks!

(I’m looking into implementing internationalisation and localisation for Kitten projects – https://codeberg.org/kitten/app)

Dear #fedibrain do you know how I can make my #pixelfed instance (under Yunohost) connect to those of others? Like I can on Mastodon.
Any good usernames or profiles to search for?
I'm only seing my own posts right now and that is boring.

Thanks in advance for any tips :)

So #fedibrain, unikernels for Node.js (eg., Nanos, etc. https://nanos.org/) – yay/nay/oh no, please stay away?

Thoughts/experiences?

#lazyweb #fedibrain

Finally starting to think about consolidated self-hosting platforms. Would like to do some evaluation, but I'm a bit out of the loop - I'm aware of @yunohost and Cloudron.io (which is paid), what other options are there?

(Honourable mention for FreedomBox too, but I *think* that's not massively extensible in the way something like Yunohost is, right?)

Fire away, Mastodoons!
