@daviwil to me it kind of depends. Mostly on the side that even for bigger applications, you only need kubernetes if you don't use BEAM languages and you have multiple services. Otherwise I don't think that it would be at all helpful!

Ok, I have tried a live boot of chimera, installed all the repos. and looked into it.
I cannot say that I loved it. It created some automation where it is not needed (adding repositories is its own package. just add it to /etc/apk/repositories as comments) and it lacks rustup.

So for now, I will stay with Alpine :alpine: which better suits me.

@lanodan @SuperDicq might that be because gentoo people are taking care of it before reaching stable?

@lanodan @SuperDicq talking about the package managers, NixOS packages that usually break in Nixpkgs unstable, usually are python ones. And when something like kernel's build starts breaking, and I look into it, I see a python script in the build process that added a dependency for some reason. And now tests are not passing.
I'm getting worked up as I'm saying this.

@SuperDicq @lanodan I only had to deal with Go and Rust and Python. Go is relatively extremely simpler, but also more isolated.
But I take dependency issues of Rust's over Python's, any day!

@lanodan @SuperDicq usually musl target takes care of that, in this case, however, it needed more build-time dependencies.

@SuperDicq for some reason, I had to build my rust binaries through nix-flake and then rsync -> ssh -> supervisorctl reboot
Because my hosting did not provide updated glibc.

@ladyerrant @aral it is almost true of an, field. We are just more aware of our own contribution and consequences.

@toddbohannon It might be true but aljazeera is propably not a good source to rely on. They are a bit like fox news but with more propoganda.

@weirdwriter this is an excellent article.
One complaint I have, and that might be just me, is that the title is clickbait-y.
The first impression I got from the article was that it was about how mastodon is particularly racist, like 4chan 2.0.
But it was mostly about the particular challenges of dealing with everyday anti-blackness within the context of particularities of a decentralized social network.

Have you considered that when threads becomes a fact of fediverse, they will be the ones that dictate how activitypub-based federation is going to go? Most users of activitypub will be threads users and for those that post-threads activitypub users, well behaved communication with threads will become the expectation, even if the misbehaving is caused by threads.
If you don't think so, just consider gmail and chrome as they basically dictate the norms of usage of the open standards.
