In-reply-to » If I had more free time right now I'd write another blog post about this. For now, I just wanted to register how infuriating, tiring, and lousy this firehose of AI this/AI that is.

That’s what microBlogging is for 👌

In-reply-to » @prologic I never got into Docker to begin with and their quasi-corporate structure always put me off, so I'm glad I don't need to do anything in response to this mess.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Docker is and still is basically a decent packaging tool where you can care a little less about all the bazillion dependencies that software is often packaged with. But to be honest, that has changed a lot for me with Go where you are basically encouraged to write portable programs anyway so you don’t really need Docker – What I still use it for however is basically as infrastructure to run and orchestrate containers – Docker Swarm is still quite a decent way to do this 👌

In-reply-to » Something is wrong with Docker https://blog.alexellis.io/docker-is-deleting-open-source-images/

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net Yeah I’m really not sure why Mirantis (the owner of Docker now) is doing this. It is a 100% hostile move on Mirantis part for Docker and the Docker ecosystem. Really quite pathetic to see. I’m just so glad that I myself haven’t bothered to published open source docker images in docker organisations/teams myself. All images I care about are published under my own username prologic/xxx e.g: prologic/yarnd.

In-reply-to » Speaking of Yarn and/or Twtxt + Activity Pub integration... Been thinking... If a decision is made to turn this into a full-fledged Twtxt bridging services between Twtxt <-> Activity Pub (which would make things much more transparent, because then yarnd only has to speak Twtxt period)...

@mckinley@twtxt.net I’m not sure it can be. It doesn’t make sense to me to create feeds for some other actor just because.

Speaking of Yarn and/or Twtxt + Activity Pub integration… Been thinking… If a decision is made to turn this into a full-fledged Twtxt bridging services between Twtxt <-> Activity Pub (which would make things much more transparent, because then yarnd only has to speak Twtxt period)…

What do we (or can we) do about filling in context. Right now with this crappy half-baked implementation I have going (experimental) for yarnd, I can just go grab the Activity Pub Note that the inReplyTo references and inject that into the cache.

With a separate more transparent Twtxt <-> Activity Pub; what do we do? Even if we created a feed for the actor referenced in the inReplyTo you wouldn’t know to follow them anyway…

Hmmm? 🤔

In-reply-to » 'Denoising' a noisy ocean: Researchers use machine learning to listen for specific fish sounds Come mating season, fishes off the California coast sing songs of love in the evenings and before sunrise. They vocalize not so much as lone crooners but in choruses, in some cases loud enough to be heard from land. It's a technique of romance shared by frogs, insects, whales, and other animals when the time is right. ⌘ Read more

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Ahh but you gotta have a click-bait title and “machine learning” is still the biggest hype today 😆

In-reply-to » What is going one here? Media I have note muted this tread, but i have also not turned on ActivityPub feature on my pod, so suspect that is part of the issue, since the root is from Mastodon: Media

@darch@neotxt.dk That’s the normal peering that yarnd does between pods. Because I replied to @david@collantes.social and you follow me, since you don’t follow david and don’t have the root twt for context, your pod asked mine for it.

Top Result in Google™ search for “statie site generator”:

Static sites’ advantages include speed, security, and SEO. They’re also easy to maintain and highly scalable. Because the static site generators (SSG) store an already-compiled page on a CDN, they load a lot faster.18 Apr 2022

So riddle me this… Why are a lot of corporate/company website either built as multi-megabyte Javascript bundles (RactJS, etc) or Wordpress instances?! 🤦‍♂️
