  • I am trying to get rid of this folder, but the result is saying that fish expects a variable name after this $. What does it mean ? And how do i get rid of this folder ?

    Jump

  • Having so many accounts is getting kind of ridiculous. Please just use one or two accounts.

    Not everyone wants to see so many questions. When those people block you and then you make a new account and ask many questions again with the new one, you create work for all those people who need to block your new account too.

  • Hetzner prices have skyrocketed (up to 3x); how will this affect your Fediverse server?

    Jump

  • I've been thinking about auto-unfollow, too. For example if an account hasn't logged in for 6 months they unfollow everyone and leave all communities (but preserve the records of their subscriptions so they can be automatically re-follow/joined if they log in again).

    Then that one guy who subscribed to all those anime communities a year ago won't cause your instance to receive anime forever.

    I lack the knowledge/skills to fix my slop of an attempted shell script

    Jump

  • I was going to suggest Python too but you'll need to be careful to just use functionality that is part of the standard library because once you start pulling in 3rd party packages deployment is much harder and portability seems to be a requirement here. That should be doable with your case.

    The free edition of PyCharm is great for debugging.

    Jump

  • While it is technically possible to write shell scripts that do as much as what you're attempting to, it's not a good idea.

    Shell scripts generally don't have the development environment necessary for debugging. You can't pause execution based on a breakpoint and inspect variables, or step through the code line by line to watch the execution flow as it happens. Well, bashdb exists, but it's quite hard to use.

    Without proper debugging tooling you're limited to printing stuff out on the screen and trying to figure out what that means. That's ok for short scripts (< 50 lines?) but yours is 700+ lines.

    Is there a FileSystem framework without AI features?

    Jump

  • Laravel has been around for a long long time (decades?) so I'm pretty sure whatever AI stuff they're adding are optional packages that can be ignored if they're not for you.

  • Yeah it's not great. I could have a PSU blow out any time and it'll take me days to sort it out, probably. I have a spare server (these things are < $100 so why not) but getting it ready for prime time wouldn't be quick either.

    Anyway the resiliency of the fediverse is in the network - people can just use another instance for their fix of shitposts until their main comes back.

  • I left Hetzner after the price increase a couple of months ago, expecting that hike not to be the last.

    Now I run my own hardware. It feels good to 'own the means of federation' and not rent it!
