While I'm excited to see him go (eventually, and not soon enough...), it upsets me that it's the staff and students who will pay the cost of this man's poor management.

Answer, but immediately mute. Answer machine detection thinks it’s dead air and removes your number from the list. Keep at it for about a week and it should calm down.

I work at Apple and every night they strap me into a booth and let me choose 1,000 people’s alarm clocks to silence. They strap me in and I strain to reach the buttons with my tongue. Thrash against the straps like a muscle of fishmeat. Blister my tongue against the hot buttons.

I considered this as well. What I’d like to have is a super lightweight single user implementation that I could spin up at will like dev boxes.

I agree with @quillmatiq.com, people care data data ownership. People expect quality.

Though at this point, I'd rather spend my cash building a home lab server again, but the price of RAM put a hold on that just now.

I run a bunch of libre software on mine - Nextcloud, Firefly, Jellyfin, Miniflux, OpenVPN and a couple of home grown apps for myself. Oracle runs me about £10/mo. Smaller setup on AWS ran me closer to £30, so somehwere between there would be nice.

aelitneg @aelitneg.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

This is my current predicament. At the time, Oracle was less ethically problematic than the other big cloud providers for me. That's changed and I'm looking to migrate elsewhere.

This is why nobody likes dates in #JavaScript 🙃 "When the time zone offset is absent, date-only forms are interpreted as a UTC time and date-time forms are interpreted as a local time." developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

Code snippet showing that explicity year, month, and day parameters to the JavaScript Date constructor yield timestamp mindight of local time whereas the same date as a date string yields a timestamp midnight UTC.

Admitedly, my elevator ptich needs work. The big points: Artists keep control of their music (quality, format, etc.). A lexicon for "play" events means metrics can be standardised across different services. The whole ecosystem could be broken down into separate entities.

#atproto trades a centralised identity authority (PLC) for decentralised and portable user data. #activitypub decntralises the identity layer, but centralises the user-data portability to the app provider. The question is would we rather own our identities or our data?

I'm working on a wild idea for a music streaming platform. ATProto solves some of the pain points with RSS I have from working in the podcast space.

aelitneg @aelitneg.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

Finally feel like I’m starting to wrap my head around #atproto now that I’ve setup a working local development environment. Now to start building things…

I know moving platforms isn't easy, so thank you for all the work put into this. Substack was a great idea in theory, but unfotunately didn't live up to expectationm. Glad to see the support of a fantastic OSS project as well.

Deleting followers isn’t possible with AT Protocol. They could choose to implement it for their PDS (bsky.social) but anyone with their own could simply ignore those events and remain a follower. You own your data and they own the fact they follow you.

I actually like this change. Not for the reasons they implanted it, but it’s more intuitive to me to press the comments button to see the comments. I read far more than I reply.

Two things we learned today: 1. NextJS + Prisma + SQLite is not the way. Just use Postgres. 2. localhost and 127.0.0.1 are not the same. These are two separate jars of cookies 🍪

Learning a ton from @pfrazee.com and friends following Statusphere as a guide to my first attempt at an #atproto app. The tutorial makes it seem so easy, but there is so much more going on when you actually build it from scratch. If you do web dev, do yourself a favour and give it a read.

I worked on a rater engine for a transportation and logistics company and it's really hard to beat the prices of "nationalised" services (Royal Mail, USPS, etc.) for parcel shipments. Compared to UPS, DHL, etc. they were always cheaper. Can't speak on the overhead for customs / tax.
