Programming was really, REALLY hard before the Internet. If you couldn't figure something out, you might just have to give up. I can't count the number of times I've solved a problem because of information on the Internet that I NEVER could have figured out on my own.

I remember trying to program on the C64 and just running into brick walls constantly. I still remember some of the problems, that could have been solved if I had a mentor. In retrospect my parents could have found me a mentor, but nobody thought of it I guess.

>> I'd be more interested in this if they supported #Soapbox or even just #Pleroma

And I just got some info -- a new account followed my new muensterland.social account (SOON to be my Main -- @rgx ) .

And on visiting his/hers profile I found this :

Hey! I'm Ilja! I'm admin and moderator of this instance, cyborg, and general waste of space, but trying to fix the latter. This is a single-user instance running on YUNoHost ( yunohost.org/ ), the most awesome OS for self-hosting and I strongly advise to try it out if you want to self-host. Whether you're a newbie (like I was) or an advanced sysadmin who just wants to get things done.

So -- YUNOHost is a valid, Pleroma friendly host service!

yunohost.org/

Will add this to an upcoming Blog post.

Weird how some people decry politics mixing with technology, then immediately proceed to make very political choices about technology.

For context, golang.org added a BLM banner causing people to write in that now they need to stop using go. The go language hasn't changed at all, technically. So their decision to stop using it is purely political. But they just said that was bad?

damn, RIP jennifer anniston. you were my first dedicated reply guy, and it was cthulhu

@realcaseyrollins

>> Yeah they only support vanilla #Mastodon, I thought

And that is so poor, slow, trembles if compared to the alternatives.

My "Pleroma as an Alternative to Mastodon" blog page, only a couple of days old, is high up on my stats -- 2nd place and moving up!

BTW -- Today's blog is hot read too.
