You know what I don't understand. People who build complex software AND have a life. When I'm building software I'm NOT doing anything else. I have to block out weeks at a time, to build software. I am incapable of socializing with people during this time. Even something small like going to the store is a major disruption. I plan my life around major blocks of software development time, and reluctantly carve out blocks here and there for seeing friends and family. Bigger trips are expensive in terms of software development time. But apparently some people are capable of being software developers and somehow having a life within the same day. For me it's either a software week or it's not.

I restored an old blog post to my new site. This one was good enough to keep: https://alexgleason.me/blog/run-your-own-server/
Real vegans use SQLite, not Postgres.
There was a scientist who categorized a lot of species of fish, and his name was Gill. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Gill
One of my favorite vegan restaurants in Philly was apparently protested by "The Philadelphia Free Palestine Coalition" simply for serving Israeli food. https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/04/us/palestinian-protest-philadelphia-solomonov/index.html
They chanted "Goldie, Goldie, you can’t hide. We charge you with genocide."
Used to go there and get falafel sandwiches all the time.
When I was coding on Elixir people would say: "You know I'd love to contribute to your Open Source projects, but why did you have to choose a fucking esoteric language that literally nobody understands? Do you even want people to contribute? You should kill yourself."
Now coding in TypeScript, people say: "God I hate JavaScript. I hate the web. I am suffering existential dread about society and the internet 24/7 and I'm going to kill myself."
Which is it???
This song got automatically recommended to me through YouTube's algorithm. https://youtube.com/watch?v=pKQp61e94VE
Danny Devito and Joe Pesci are secretly the same person.
Santa is real.
I got Ditto doing SQLite queries in a Web Worker now so it doesn't block the main thread: https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/ditto/-/merge_requests/57
To achieve it, I had to update my kysely-deno-sqlite library to accept a more generic adapter: https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/ditto/-/merge_requests/57
Any time somebody chooses their gender on the internet, and they enter "non-binary", it just gets stored as binary data.
Good morning. I procured a copy of Animal Forest on Nintendo 64, and instead of erasing the save file I'm joining as a new resident of the town last played in 2004.
Nerds online are driving up the price of CRTs because they want to play blurry Mario like it's 1990 again.
Rubber duck:
We're doing a weird trick with Nostr+HTTP in Ditto, which follows these steps:
1. Client hits the API, eg POST /api/v1/statuses
2. Ditto sends a WebSocket message to the client, asking it to sign the Nostr event.
3. The client signs the Nostr event, using NIP-07, a stored key, or whatever other method it wants to use, then sends it back over the WebSocket.
4. All this time, the HTTP request from step 1 still hasn't received a response. But now that the backend (Ditto) is finished, it delivers the response.
Here is the problem: sometimes that takes more than 60 seconds. It's no issue for Deno, which is very efficient at dealing with idle HTTP connections, but most webservers such as Nginx and anything on top, will cut the request off at 60 seconds.
60 seconds is a reasonable amount of time to wait for a user to sign an event. But now I'm introducing proof-of-work requirements, some of which are designed to not finish in less than 60 seconds on purpose.
So now I need to rethink this. I originally chose this design because Mastodon clients already rely on the HTTP response to show toasts such as "Post successfully submitted! [View]" and "Internal Server Error". By keeping the connection open, we can submit the correct response code when it's ready, avoiding a broken UX.
So the question is how to extend the duration of the request. Or how to prepare the information needed before making the request.
I know this sounds insane, but it will be so worth it.
Visiting a Mostr URL from a web browser (ie navigating from ActivityPub/Mastodon) will now redirect to a human-readable page where you can view the discussion in a Nostr client of your choice.
