T minus 10 hours to Heroku d-day. • Deleted 42 apps that were broken or doing nothing. • Captured three Ruby apps as static HTML and moved to GitHub Pages. • Two dynamic apps went to Google Cloud Run and one hobby Bridge instance with multiple DBs. Later Heroku — it was fun.

My kids have just discovered that the family sick bowl and the cake mix bowl are one and the same. In my defence, this was also the case when I was growing up … but now I’ve said it out loud, I realise I need to break the cycle. I won’t be taking any further questions.

Every time people like EM bring up how they want to create an "ultimate unlimited free-speech zone" they seem to forget that plenty of sites with that setup already exist (parler, gab, truth social), it's just that normal people don't want to hang out on them 'cause they're awful

It's also wild that he can say that and then say "But not Alex Jones, what he did was inexcusable." It's just so clear that all he really wants is a place where he is in charge.

To throw one more fallacy on the bonfire: CI is not the practice of running a building test server. It is the behavior of developers sharing all their code changes frequently, at LEAST once a day.

Jack Dorsey was the best CEO twitter ever had or will have. for years, he was pestered daily to add a button that would allow op ed writers to see where trolls lived and he’d just go “I am currently at a commune where we’re eating smegma :)” he didn’t fold. Elon isn’t like that

In 1930 the Indiana Bell building was rotated 90° Over a month, the 22 million-pound structure was moved 15 inch/hr while 600 employees still worked there. There wasn’t interruption to gas, heat, electricity, water, sewage, or the phone service. No one inside felt it move.

Definitely seeing less humans/people (over brands) on twitter as the humans shift to mastodon or exit entirely. I also keep seeing a chart of "increased engagement" yet the source is a single person that I really wouldn't trust not to fiddle the stats in their favour…

Erik is not wrong - this kind of writing from DHH (alongside the banning of 'politics' at 37signals) greases the white supremacy wheel. @tomstuart spoke truth about this many years ago, and it is still spot-on today: "DHH is the Fox News of Ruby" - tomstu.art/the-dhh-problem

I try not to look at numbers too much because it distracts away from the point of blogging which is to just write. But I have to say, I completely forgot the punch in the stomach, "holy shit" feeling when I see readers from all over the world take a minute to read my post.

So, not only is PostNews VC funded, but it’s these investors/advisors?🤮 Guess we can’t even have an app where the SAME folks who got us here (as investors, advisers & cheerleaders) aren’t in charge & maintaining the same structural hierarchy? Expect a suggested user list:(😱

Fun fact: sharing this link on Mastodon caused my server to serve 112,772,802 bytes of data, in 430 requests, over the 60 seconds after I posted it (>7 r/s). Not because humans wanted them, but because of the LinkFetchWorker, which kicks off 1-60 seconds after Mastodon indexes a post (and possibly before it's ever seen by a human). Every Mastodon instance fetches and stores their own local copy of my 750kb preview image. (I was inspired by to look by @jwz@mastodon.social's post: https://mastodon.social/@jwz/109411593248255294.)

Mastodon stampede. "Federation" now apparently means "DDoS yourself." Every time I do a new blog post, within a second I have over a thousand simultaneous hits of that URL on my web server from unique IPs. Load goes over 100, and mariadb stops... https://jwz.org/b/yj6w

The real, factual definition of child grooming is forming a relationship with a child and sometimes their family to gain the child’s trust for the purpose of sexually abusing them. It has nothing to do with LGBTQ people or drag and saying it does is harmful to real child victims
