Seems like there is a gap in the market supply for managed hosting of fediverse software ?

@thatonecalculator I miss the Deck UI ?

@thatonecalculator First they lied about the cake ?, and now they lie about the shorts! ?

Big short ?? doesn't want us to know the truth!

@thatonecalculator the manufacturer labeled them "long shorts"

@thatonecalculator I have worn shorts that go below my kneecaps.

Okay, but what exactly are "shorts"? How short must pants become to transition to shorts?

What are pants?

Woah! I didn't realize how clean and polished CalcKey's UI is. Very nice!

@erin The natural complement to Femboy Physics

@thatonecalculator @Froggo awesome!! You will be thatonekey provider.

@thatonecalculator @Froggo oho, I'm excited to see it when your venture gets going! I'm guessing you're doing managed hosting for fediverse software (CalcKey) specifically, right? I really like where you're going with this. (If my assumptions are right), you are creating a service that allows people to run their own fediverse with a unified hosting+server+client experience.

Hehe I'm glad you noticed ? that is one of the coolest default templates I have ever seen. Super clean it works great.

Astro ? my beloved ❤️?

I'm a big proponent of writing HTML, CSS, and JS without using a JavaScript framework.

But Astro,,, Astro changed me. It's not one of the hellish JavaScript frameworks. It's something else entirely.

Astro files by default are vanilla HTML CSS and JS written within one file. That's it. It's the vanilla 3 on top of a templating paradigm.

I used Astro to make the page currently at https://graycot.dev

Quick shout-out to @PrairieWind, a relatively new account for one of the MineClone2 developers. If you're interested in MineTest or MineClone consider checking it out.

Also, if you know of any other accounts related to MineTest (such as @Minetest ) leave a comment with their username!

This is what Minecraft used to feel like. It's the open source reincarnation of my childhood game. It's bigger and better than Minecraft, and I'm so proud of the MineTest and MineClone community.

Have you ever noticed that FLOSS software with a GUI tend to have a God awful and unintuitive user interface? UI/UX is pretty important for a project to have the most success and adoption by tech illiterate folks, and that's the goal? Right? Isn't the goal of FLOSS/FOSS to democratize technology and open the project to the world? Why is there such a stigma in making FLOSS inspired technology available to those without technical knowledge?

It's a hypocritical form of discrimination. It's weird.

@newt @fu

Yeah. Gigabit should be good enough for *most* people's use-case, but if you want to transfer massive amounts of data it can actually become a bottleneck.

For example, if you need to transfer 1TB of data, it would take 2.2 hours at consistent gigabit speeds. Peeps with home servers in the tens of Terabytes may require higher transfer rates than 1 gigabit can provide.

@newt @enigmatico you can already rub Ethernet over USBC. Granted, it's only gigabit speeds.

F(L)OSS Philosophy is starting to establish a presence in the smart-home, mobile OS, mobile hardware, and laptop hardware markets. I'd love to one day see a smart watch built from the ground up using FLOSS methods. Perhaps a de-googled Wear os 3.0 once decent hardware begins to actually support it (not included Sams*ng's "One UI" ).
