@Maven except that more than once i gave my email (navi@vlhl.dev) and people went "don't you mean gmail"?
the email analogy only works with techy folks and older folks that lived thru the pre-gmail era
and that's besides the point, "choosing" a home server is an issue, most people don't wanna have to chose one. and even after that it's hard when you can't talk to your friend anymore bc your admin and theirs got into a fight and fediblocked each other
structural problems that can't be solved by explaining the protocol
@lanodan@lizzy just having a prefixed length for arrays baked into the language would've been so nice, aka fat pointers...
compilers could easily insert bounds checks, syscalls wouldn't depend on null terminated strings (recursive mkdir without modifying a string to insert random \0 anyone), etc
@theresnotime openrc dev/maintainer, working on a fedi server in c, did osdev, has hacked on a c compiler to implement a draft proposal to the c standard (defer statements), will soon be working (as in, job) on wine and related projects
(also irc client, wayland clients, and other projects, all in c)
@ada except that: "Since automation of issuance and renewals is really important, it only makes sense to use DNS-01 challenges if your DNS provider has an API you can use to automate updates" and on the list of registrar APIs "NameCheap is intentionally not included because they do not open API access unless some opaque requirements are met (spend at least $x)."
yeah sure make a third party package manager for your programming language, and watch it fall apart when someone runs it in a non-standard environment or on not-so-modern cpus
