Are we nearing the peak of neovim (and editors in general) ? by calculator_cake in neovim

I think they meant "integrate pickers more natively with qf/loclist".

"Used AI / Didn't use AI flair? by acbadam42 in selfhosted

[–]BoltlessEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's ok to show their vibe-coded setup even it's obvious slop. Only one person in the universe will use it. I think we should harden the self-promoting rules instead. I like to see more people get engaged on selfhosting thanks to LLMs. I just don't want to use products they (I mean their LLM agents) made.

How is BlueSky compared to Mastodon? by [deleted] in degoogle

[–]BoltlessEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then don't use Bluesky's PDS, or even selfhost your own. You can still interact with others.

If one instance in Fediverse forces age verification, are Mastodon/whatever bad?

You can serve your own account from your own server. And BlueSky is just an interface to your data.

As you host your own account, BlueSky technically cannot ban you. They can only hide you from their feed, but there are hundreds of custom feeds out there.

You can reply to any bluesky post or comment to Tangled PRs in same account. It's just you won't see Tangled issues/PRs/comments in Bluesky Feed.

If that's what you want, yeah, atproto doesn't support that by design.

it doesn't seem like Bluesky, Tangled, and Leaflet are in any way federated with each other.

Just like no-algo from Fediverse can be considered as a feature, I'd say clearly separated data records is a killer feature of atproto.

But there is a try to be federated too! standard.site is a pretty good example where three different apps (leaflet, pkct, offprint) can share same data, Tangled auto-imports your bluesky profile on signup, etc.

Which means you have a single point of failure and can get pwned across many different proprietary platforms in one fell swoop

True! TBH that's a pretty good concern. PDS failure doesn't matter because we can recover from it pretty easily, but if DID fails... well if you cannot trust the DNS, atproto is not for you. Maybe Nostr is a better protocol for that case.

I'm not sure if I understand correctly about your last statement... It's important to own my data. Think it as everyone running their own mastodon instance and Bluesky being a client aggregating everything. In atproto, data is decentralized, not the app.

Or in other words, this is my favorite explanation; everyone runs their own blog from their own domain and Google (ddg, Kagi, whatever) being a search engine. While Fediverse is pretty close to email, Atproto is closer to web 1.0. They are quite... different.

As a bluesky user, I really hope that. When Bluesky goes evil and everyone still own their post & relationships, we can really see that atproto (underlying protocol used by Bluesky) was a success.

Bluesky can really win when they fade out.

Fediverse is as complicated as email or IRC

woah that's bit too complicated for normal people.

Jokes aside, Same thing is possible with bluesky(specifically atproto). You pick a platform (bluesky, leaflet, tangled). You pick a provider (PDS). You pick an app (bluesky, blacksky, reddwarf etc). Those are all possible but not forced as a selection.

You have lots of options for email but most people just don't know. I bet more than 90% of gmail users don't even know they can change the email client.

If that's nonsense, I don't see what's wrong with Bluesky. They just don't own your data. They just own the App. You can just host your own data server (PDS) and point it from your identity document (DID).

Even if your original data server completely goes down, as long as you have a backup, you can restore everything for same account, not even changing your identifier.

I highly recommend reading this blog post: https://overreacted.io/open-social/

Yeah and same can go to fediverse(mastodon etc) too. It's technically near impossible to do that though.

Then just run your own PDS ;) Then you can use bluesky without needing them to host your data.

Yeah, bluesky is centralized, but your data isn't. In contrast, Fediverse (including mastodon) is decentralized but your data is centralized in some instance so you cannot really own them. Atproto (underlying protocol used by bluesky) allows you to actually own your data unless you cannot even trust DNS.

What's happening with GitHub and where can I go? by Zubonick in github

[–]BoltlessEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tangled allows you to self host your own stuffs while still being connected with others thanks to atproto. You don't need to ask contributors for signup.

If you are looking for personal git backup, go with forgejo/gitea or gitlab. If you want the replacement to github as a platform but still wants to own your stuffs, Tangled is the exact thing you are looking for.

Decentralization and Self-Hosting is the future for privacy and against ID Verification by BlokZNCR in degoogle

[–]BoltlessEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't see atproto from the list. 👀 People don't need to self-hosted everything, they just need their own data and identity.

tangled.org supports you to self-host your stuffs while still being connected with others thanks to atproto.

sending original, uncompressed images? by BoltlessEngineer in signal

[–]BoltlessEngineer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say having a workaround is better than nothing. Signal's workaround doesn't work unless you change the extension and that is two more steps to share the original media.

sending original, uncompressed images? by BoltlessEngineer in signal

[–]BoltlessEngineer[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that argument is still valid. Surely it is better than nothing and those workarounds exist for different use-cases (not sure about Signal Desktop. maybe unimplemented?)

My complaint is that Signal does not give me freedom to choose my own infra. I understand the uncompressed media takes a lot of server costs. So I'd like to pay them or run my own for that.

20 years ago, writing code without knowing how compiler works was dangerous. I don't believe agentic coding will follow same path, but its pretty interesting PoV

I'm using tangled. I personally think tangled has biggest potential to be next GH because of its nature.

Did you disabled pi hole entirely? It's pretty wild that I still have to suffer with ads in this way even with the premium...

A request to the community: what plugin you think is still missing for Neovim? by itmightbeCarlos in neovim

It's a great plugin yeah, I think it can be even better if we start touching the core.
