Web app where you can Create 3D models from images (shapen.com)
I've been playing an MMO that you can only play via rest API calls: Artifacts in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

Lots of comments here saying it feels like work. And yet all the simulator games exist? People literally build rigs on their living room to play Truck Simulator games.

I don't work with rest apis enough and looks great. My only concern is that like everything I do, I end up building a UI and automation. Which might be the point!

"excessive promotion", right.

You're doing great work.

Good luck out there in c/[email protected]

I went back to school in my early 30s.

I have a coworker who went back in his 40s and is changing careers (from tech lead to management). And another who is nearing 50s who just wanted that piece of paper. (IT guy who wanted a fine arts degree)

Comparing local large language models for alt-text generation (dri.es)
 

I tested 12 LLMs — 10 running locally and 2 cloud-based — to assess their accuracy in generating alt-text for images.

I have 10,000 photos on my website. About 9,000 have no alt-text. I'm not proud of that, and it has bothered me for a long time.

EXTREME SERVER SIDE RENDERING (www.scd31.com)
 

Before we get into extreme server side rendering (XSSR), we have to talk about normal server side rendering (SSR). This comes in two flavours, which I'm calling old-school and new-school.

Old-school SSR involves having a server which uses some logic to create the HTML of the web page on-the-fly. For example, you might hit /users/39, and it might give you the details of user 39. These details might be from a database, or they might come from somewhere else. The important part is there's no corresponding 39.html on the disk. The HTML is created dynamically by the back-end server. On the front-end side, there's no JavaScript or other logic required to render the page. As a result, once the page is loaded, there's no ability for it to be dynamic.

New-school SSR is similar to old-school SSR, but it does involve a bit of front-end JavaScript logic.

I didn't know you were supposed to disable root user... in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (14 children)

I published it to the internet and the next day, I couldn't ssh into the server anymore with my user account and something was off.

Tried root + password, also failed.

Immediately facepalmed because the password was the generic 8 characters and there was no fail2ban to stop guessing.

I didn't know you were supposed to disable root user... (linux.community)
 

Background: 15 years of experience in software and apparently spoiled because it was already set up correctly.

Been practicing doing my own servers, published a test site and 24 hours later, root was compromised.

Rolled back to the backup before I made it public and now I have a security checklist.

Is there a counter like this but for Fediverse projects? (linux.community)
 

I was interested in building something like this.

Federation woes in c/[email protected]

Hey, I did the same thing recently! Set it up on my own server, and after a week, I'm starting to see new accounts being added to my explore feed. But there's no user count.

It's an annoying experience and I'm not fully sure how to resolve it yet, nor have I dung into it.

Things people get wrong about Electron (felixrieseberg.com)
 

As an open source project, our website never had to "convince people" to use Electron, so I never took the time to actually explain why I'm betting on web technologies to build user interfaces or why I prefer bundling a rendering engine.

Hosting multiple types of fediverse instances on the same server? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Probably overkill and I agree with you.

K8 is for scale. Like managing a whole fleet of servers. Even with my devops team, it's quite a lift to suggest it to someone who is getting their feet wet.

Help with Home Server Architecture and Hardware Selection? in c/[email protected]

I did a double take at that $4000 budget as well! Glad I wasn't the only one.

Fediverse sounds gross in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah. I talk about the product directly.

Lemmy. Or Pixelfed. Or Mastodon.

I talk about the activitypub and decentralization.

I'm trying to remove Fediverse from the conversation because that's the word that starts to make people confused.
