> But now you're expected to read, vet, and act on this wall of text. When someone forwards text they themselves have not considered, they are asking you to do work they chose not to do. The asymmetric effort makes it rude.

Yes, this part exactly.

@mhoye I had to reread this several times before I fully understood it, but the word choice is so delicious that I didn't mind.

Update: I decided to be a grown-up and take the critique seriously.

I sat down to read it carefully and... it's wrong.

It hallucinates my arguments, takes statements out of context, and even says I "fail to mention the monorepo even once" when a simple Ctrl-F shows results across the whole doc.

I've been spinning out for two days because of this workslop. Now I'm just angry.

You guys I'm in trouble.

My CEO asked me to "drive AI strategy" at my company (because he clearly doesn't follow me here).

I really really tried to put together a reasonable strategy based on actual research and set aside my personal beliefs. It took me over a week of reading, synthesizing, and writing.

An hour later I received an AI-generated critique of my strategy with sections like "Major Gaps" and "Missed Opportunities".

What do I do now?

To be clear, the email server is still in the cloud because my ISP blocks port 25 both in and out. Oh and reverse DNS seemed tricky with a dynamic IP.

A big week for me and #selfhosting.

On Sunday I migrated my single-user Mastodon instance to a new server running out of my garage.

Then on Wednesday, I finished migrating my long-running (c. 2001) email account to a new machine running Mailcow. A lot of work but none of it was that hard.

Next up is migrating Nextcloud to my garage server. All of this is running on a cheap mini PC that still has more CPUs, RAM, and storage than I was paying for in a hosted solution.

everybody says ActivityPub is too hard.

so i'm building the thing that proves them wrong.

debug tools. validators. real docs.

built by someone who actually ships projects people use (@pixelfed (1M+ users) and @loops)

activitypub deserves better resources. i'm making them.

it only takes one person to spark a revolution ✨

coming soon. stay tuned.

@ben If the contrapositive is true then I'm more good at my job.

(Confession: I had to look up contrapositive to make sure I was using it right.)

@smallcircles Cozy neighborhood within a bustling city.

Aside from a few Mastodon instances (two topical and one location-based), I haven't yet explored the rest, e.g. Lemmy, PeerTube, etc. even though I'm aware of their presence, which makes the Fediverse feel bigger than a village.

@jwildeboer I'd go so far as to say that if you are willing to put in the work to self-host, I don't care how old you are.
