Happy new year, and good night!

For all the hate the federated timeline gets, it's probably the most human. When you're there at the top, someone somewhere is reaching out to anyone anywhere and for a moment, that's you.

You might not understand them and you might not know what they're going through, but you hear them.

For a moment-- across space --you're united with a stranger in time. That's simply unfathomable.

Spread love.

Eyyy, so to introduce myself.

I'm a minimalist and I like keeping simple things simple.

Been doing web dev for over ten years and I try to avoid dependencies whenever possible. Vanilla CSS with some JavaScript that's lean is better than any framework.

Code itself is technical debt. Less code is less debt.

Hobbies include laying on my couch thinking I should be more productive, writing long winded essays, staring at my always growing pile of books, and trying to find fellow humans online.

Just posted this to Facebook and I'm done.

Don't worry fosstofriends, you're still stuck with me.

i bought twitter from elon musk for one nft

i guess for catchup...

i've been playing with deno a lot. i've really enjoyed this makefile for slapping a quick cross-platform project together: https://github.com/MarkTiedemann/deno.mk

however, deno doesn't run on 32-bit machines and never will. and the arm binaries for raspberry pi aren't compiled yet...

so i started going further down into the rabbit hole and i'm back in the quickjs realm.

got the webserver running on my old 32-bit dell latitude w/ ubuntu. tonight, i'll hit the pi 400.

fingers crossed. today could be the first day I successfully contribute to an upsteam project:

QUESTION

ASSUME framework laptop
ASSUME pinephone

OBSERVE framework laptop expansion cards are USB-C and pinephone is USB-C

can the expansion cards work on pinephone?

Next steps for me will be to finally begin building applications for Solid.

I gave an update on the forums yesterday.

https://forum.solidproject.org/t/idea-launcher-app/3468/4

While I would have loved to start building last year, I genuinely don't believe React et al., will still be relevant in the next ten years and I'm trying to make apps that will last for as long as the web lasts.

@VincentTunru @noeldemartin since i know both of you are invested in the solid ecosystem :)

A brief update on my open source work...

The framework I've spent the last 6 months building is stable enough that I'm running it in production for an application at work.

https://thelanding.page/tag/

One of the primary drivers for not using React/Vue/Angular/Other is the inherent complexity within all of them.

Instead, I wanted something that could meet the criteria of a Trivial Technology:

https://trivial.technology/

I feel tag meets this, where other contemporary approaches fail.

npm: when you're so afraid of internet explorer, you end up creating the successor for free

assume a textfile:

echo "import h from 'w.js?CACHEBUST';" > tmp/test.txt

this command:

sed -i 's/CACHEBUST/v=$(date +%s)/g' tmp/test.txt

results in my desired output:

import h from 'w.js?v=12345';

when trying to pipe that with find and xargs with:

find tmp -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i 's/CACHEBUST/v=$(date +%s)/g'

I get undesired output:
import h from 'w.js?v=$(date +%s)';

My question: how do I force that expression to evaluate?

I wrote this Monday night.

https://musings.tychi.me/to-good-vibes

I'm finding I need to put more positivity out onto the internet and the world at large.

I'm firmly against all wars and mortified at the role of technology within them. More so in an age where the planet is connected digitally.

Except it's not connected. It's silo'd. I want to break the silos.

I want everyone to be able to freely communicate in order to end war.

That's why I wrote about the darkness. But I can't anymore: that's not my way.

Decided to quickly capture my Audacity thoughts in a blog post:

https://musings.tychi.me/oh-the-audacity

Last night before bed, I made a post:

What the bleep did I say about IBM and genocide in my last essay

In response to this commit:

If were were to do a retrospective on security vulnerabilities from Flash compared to modern data breaches...

Was the decision to relentlessly destroy Flash an overreaction?
