Off to Brussels today for OFFDEM (not FOSDEM; I don’t attend or speak at “free and open” or “human rights”, etc., conferences that allow themselves to be sponsored by—and thus whitewash—surveillance capitalists and people farmers like Google).

Going to demo Kitten (https://codeberg.org/kitten/app)

Hope to see some of you there… say “hi”, I have stickers :)

@lupyuen I would call it a success; "99.5% of all Fediverse users unaffected by crashed Mastodon instance."

Unlike "100% of .... users affected." in typical scenarios.

@lupyuen Read it a few weeks ago. Great book with a lot of historical context information that gives you a good perspective on the situation we are facing now.

@lupyuen No love for Ada? I'd be suspicious of using C#. Microsoft has a habit of dropping stuff when it gets bored with them (oh, I mean, "sunsetting" something that is "not a core feature").

Then there's the question of "what are you trying to do anyway?" A great deal of software isn't exposed to hackers, so there's no problem to begin with.
