Removing almost all proprietary software from my Phone and PC: how I'm doing it!
@Dex okay no the location stuff is super awkward. My kingdom for an actual scripting language. Ugh.

poll: if you use Git, do you use a terminal text editor to edit your commit messages? (or other things that Git asks you to edit like interactive rebases etc)
(you can pick more than one)

Fyi, if you have a risky patch, deploy, infra change, today's the day to do it. You can pretty much get away with anything. Don't waste this opportunity.

We upgraded our security tonight.
We went from a Universal SSL certificate to an Advanced certificate, which required additional authentication on our end.
This supports our effort to keep our community safe with a stronger SSL certificate. These certificates are valid for three months, and they may be issued by either Google Trust Services or SSL.com.
It will also let us expand into other ActivityPub offerings soon. (SPOILER!)

Call for Mbin contributors
Call for Mbin contributors
Crossposted from https://fedia.io/m/updates@kbin.melroy.org/t/4475005
As you all might know it, Mbin is a rather small project with a small team. In fact the current size of the team is 1.5 developers (0.5 for the ones which only have partially time). While our active devs do what they can in their free time, this leads to slow feature and security updates, sometimes slow support and increasing stress for the remaining devs.
That's why I ask everyone who likes this project, has time of their own to donate and knows how to program with PHP (or is willing to learn it) to consider helping this project move forward.
You can start with simpler features and submit them as PRs or even just help review existing PRs if full commitment to maintaining the codebase is currently too much. We are aware that parts of our codebase contains more spagett than some Italian restaurants, but we will help every newcomer to find their way through the sources.
Every bit of support helps, as it also shows that we have a passionate userbase which does not want Mbin to wither away.Well ... as I'm not very good at writing motivational texts, just comment anything which comes to mind for this issue 😁 If you have ideas how to improve the chances that this post reach the right people, I would also love to hear it.
At the same time I want to bring up another topic, as transparency is important for any public project.
Some of our devs use AI assistants for generating code for PRs and also to assist with PR reviews. Simply because without it, they would not have time to continue contributing to Mbin (which would bring our devs down to 1, making it impossible to merge new PRs). On thing here is important to know: I will not call it slop nor vibe-coding, as they are a competent developer capable of understanding and managing the outputs of the agents. Still, I am very aware of the issues of AI and the general opinion on it in the Fediverse. That is why I would like to know your constructive opinions on this matter.
Also, I guarantee you that every PR is reviewed by at least one human pair of eyes.
You lost me at AI, sorry. That’s my issue though, not yours. Good luck to you.

@dat Tell that to the folks in Flint, Michigan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flint_water_crisis# @fesshole

The fascinating thing about this is that because the lead develops an oxide layer, the lead pipes *can* be safe if the water's chemistry is carefully managed. The problems in Flint were caused by (AIUI) the city switching to a cheaper water source that had different Ph levels which stripped the oxide off the pipes and allowed lead to leech back into the water supply.
