Hmm, i tried to make a joke about thanking both parent posters, which makes them a plural noun, which makes thou wrong as it is only used for singular.
But i guess i was wrong in an orthogonal dimension as well.
Ok, i’m on board. Thank thou two
Yeah, but I think it is speaking in first person, about itself. So it should be “I saw” and “I think”, regardless of its pronouns in third person.
Yea, but socket is not a file. Maybe if you stretch the definition.
Well in any case, when people say that linux is great because everything is a file, they either mean that:
- they can edit configuration of most things with a text editor, or that
- in bash (and other shells) it is easy to work with byte streams, piping them from one process to another and compose complex behaviour from simple commands.
It could be a process, which you can talk to only via an IPC call. For example, dbus
I’m currently looking into Concourse.
It does have steeper-than-average learning curve, but I really like that it has well-defined fundamentals (resources, jobs, tasks) and isolation with OCI containers. Before I adopt it fully, I want it to run my nix flake dev shell.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Material for MkDocs is getting rid of MkDocs. Now: Zensical - A modern static site generatorEnglish
4·3 months agoNice. I knew something was in the works for Material for MkDocs and it turned out to be exactly what I wanted. Which is a binary executable that you point to a repo and it gives you a static website.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Its a solar powered phone webserver! Made from a pixel 6a, solar panel, and hopes/dreams.English
11·3 months agoMeanwhile, I’m using Pixel 3a for my main phone (for quite a few years now) and consider it a relatively up-to-date phone.
Pigs is a blanket? Why, americans, why do you invent such strange names for normal food, such as “sausage in bread”[1]?
I wouldn’t say so - it’s not streaming app views from the server, it provides containers for apps, segmented into “grains”. So each open document gets it’s own container. Other than that, it’s just normal web apps (like immich or seafile).
For example, ether pad (document editor) is a) packaged to be single-click deployable on sandstorm (this is similar to dokploy), but also b) modified so that it runs each document as a “grain”.
In sandstorm, “grain” is some chunk of data + an instance of the app running. So when you open a document, it will spawn a new process for it on the server and attach the data needed to that process (similar to how you would attach volumes to docker containers). This grain is isolated from other open documents, which is good for security, but also good for development:
- apps don’t need to handle the organization or storage of documents (they just write to a dir and sandstorm associates it with the grain),
- apps don’t need to handle user auth or permissions,
The revolutionary thing about sandstorm is not all that much about administering hosting as it is about integrating deeply with applications.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What is the current state of Matrix?English
10·5 months agoMy matrix server is nearing 5 years old. I have federation disabled, because I don’t need that - we are using it as a family chat. sqlite database I’m using is now 2GB, but other than that it is working great.
I do acknowledge that I’m not leveraging the things matrix is designed for (federation, e2e encryption), but to be honest, it’s not really good at that.

Jellyfin, and yes it thinks its very cleaver with mumbling metadata.
