why isn't he on nostr

🤷‍♂️

As much as I respect him and owe my early coding interest to him, he's very immature about a lot of stuff, yet very very on point about a lot as well 😛

He used to be a liberal snowflake on Twitter. Not sure if he stopped being so because I don't use X anymore but seems like it since he started hanging out with ThePrimeagen gang.

I always thought he was more on the side of privacy (anti-TSA, etc), which in my brain is not liberal snowflake, but I don't keep up with his day-to-day thoughts

I mean, 7 years ago. That's when I and a former CTO (and a friend) blocked him on Twitter, even though we were Ruby on Rails devs at the time. He used to post about anti-capitalism and social justice stuff too much.

yes I've appreciated his work, but easy to be a jackass with big opinions when your startup made it big at age 25

I emailed him about that a few weeks ago. For social, seems he's all in on X, but mostly email.

Which DHH interview?

6 hrs worth? Who has time for that?

I always speed things up and listen as background audio while I’m working on other things or taking care of chores. Also skip around when some parts are too boring or irrelevant to me.

I’ve been considering watching the whole thing and caught some clips already. Do I do it?

I’m 4 hours in now, so far ok. I skipped some parts about Ruby on Rails - that was boring for me

Hmmm I want to learn more about the history of open source projects and their dynamics, so I’ll listen. I also just like Lex lol

Lex puts me to sleep 😆 I usually can’t get through his interviews. DHH seems higher energy and easier to listen to. I used to not like him but listening to this interview he doesn’t seem as much of an asshole as I thought he was. Just appeared like a dick on Twitter. Here I agree with a lot of what he is saying.

I think perhaps becoming a father brought down his asshole levels 🤣

Yeah the monotone from Lex does that for many, I think. And for DHH, fatherhood can definitely make people more understanding haha

I installed Start9, but it didn't have the option to use my domain names, which I need for things like my Nextcloud and Jellyfin, so I've been installing everything from scratch.

For things you might want behind TOR, like a Nostr Relay and a SimpleX, a StartOS server it works.

They say they're adding domain name functionality in they next release.

Correct , next release will enable clearnet.

It's in alpha now, many of us already using it for our production servers. You're welcome to join the alpha by joining our Matrix developer chat or wait for public beta. https://matrix.to/#/#dev-startos:matrix.start9labs.com

Will there be an option for DNS Challenge support with various providers (like with the acme or lego tools) for the domain name and certificates? I think a lot of people will use this feature for a local setup without needing to open ports or forward through a VPS.

Do it. 👍🏻

Do it!

I just started the self hosting journey. All the available tools make it so much more accessible.

Things like Proxmox, tailscale, imich photo hosting.
