Sooo this person chose NixOS for their desktop, the worst place to use NixOS. Then they proceeded to get mad that NixOS is not Arch nor Debian. Finally, they accuse the abstractions of being leaky because they could not figure out how to use them because they were trying really hard to half ass learning NixOS. Nice!

Pro tip: it works great if you aren’t crying about how its not Arch and you are prepared to write nix expressions. Don’t use NixOS on your desktop until you know you are good enough to not find it tedious.

Why is your only solution to literally any problem to rewrite everything? Five months for non trivial auth is hilarious. It’s not like you used WindowsScript, that’s just C#.

We do this crazy thing called “pair programming” and “collaboration” periodically at work. It’s cute you want to claim live coding in interviews is some horror that should never have been imagined. The rest of us will enjoy having jobs.

The author is an egotistical moron and you should save your time and avoid reading this article. As clearly nobody in the comments has. They just devolve into crying about how important they are, admit heaps of fault and hand wave it as not their problem, and then spout conspiracies about why their account was deleted.

Maybe… just maybe you could have just verified your account in time as you were contractually obligated to do. 3-4 business days with 5 days warning… you’re just incompetent no matter how smart all your Ruby friends and “free AWS consulting” makes you feel.

This moron literally tried to insist that the premise wasn’t that he put all his eggs in one basket because he had “multi-region replication” and claimed independence from US infrastructure.

News flash: AWS is the same company, and that “multi region replication” is AWS replicating their data, not yours. These are features of their platform that underpin their SLA and SLO contracts they signed with you, not YOUR use.

There are 200+ cloud providers. You’re just too lazy to find anything other than public SaaS cloud.

Lol “victim blaming” used in the context of a situation with no victims is crazy. The author signed a contract that allowed this outcome and is SHOCKED it happened to them. You and their naive asses can enjoy blaming everyone but yourself.

Your first mistake was switching to the dumpster fire that is matrix.

You can use XMPP with e2ee with more adventurous or likeminded peers. You can install some bridges to the services your friends want to keep using. Most competent xmpp servers can get you chatting (with XMPP) within 5-20 minutes (if you have no issues wrangling DNS and certs) and it’ll likely do p2p voice/video calling with e2ee right out of the box. These are incredibly light programs you can run on small VPSes. Try all the client programs you can trust, use whatever you like.

Use movim and Libervia with your server. Libervia can bring the ActivityPub to your XMPP clients. You can do anything you want to, as privately as you can. Enjoy content syndication with pubsub and atom. Interact with the wider fediverse on your own terms.

Nah. You’re just too stupid to understand the internet is designed to be used with DNS. The people who design these protocols and operate the networks that form the internet have no issues with DNS and don’t care that you don’t understand.

lol

Ironic you’re calling them naive and then quoting this. Hahahaha

Literally all of them, you’re welcome!

This post isn’t for you and nobody is sorry about it.

You can already do what you want. S3 with HTTP, XML + XSL for responsive / dynamic content.

No. Shut up, nobody agrees with you.

Or the same group of people who were going to be furries (predominately a thing developed on the internet) were going to first be deliberate internet users who then naturally discover lemmy.

You should know that this is the most batshit insane, america-centric, absolutely wrong thing I’ve ever seen someone pull off in a context like this.

and lumber houses last just as long as stone or brick.

Just because you say it like it’s true doesn’t mean it’s true! That must be hard for you to understand, though. Do you think other countries are just casting their houses wholesale out of concrete? I love this way you see the world, it’s super simple and avoids learning anything useful.

The ferret is a professional motion capture actor, as you can see.

They didn’t even say that! As they said: you missed their point. Congrats on doing so openly :)

Just a stupid response from a stupid person, not a “hopeful idea”
