  • It blows my mind how many of the MAGA/Qanon folks openly talk shit about Jews with comments about things like “Jewish Space Lasers” and whatnot, and it’s perfectly acceptable. Anyone with a shade darker than white or not in that camp opposes an actual genocide, and they’re a terrorist. I know I know, rules for thee not for me bs. It’s just exhausting. And any attempt to try to point this out to MAGAts is pointless.

  • Tbh I didn’t even mind what the bot was trying to do. I just remember opening what felt like every post and seeing dozens of lines taken up by the bot. I ended up just blocking it and cross-referencing with ground news myself.

  • Donations do not obligate anyone to do anything. It’s a donation, not pay. They should be done out of appreciation for someone’s time and effort, or to help support any potential work the project decides to do. But never with the expectation that you’re owed something back for donating.

  • Unfortunately not everyone has the luxury. Nothing about a 9-5 preventing them being there is “exceptionally lazy”. It’s a reality people face. Especially when everything’s about to skyrocket here in price. Job security is kinda important too.

  • I’ve been using Netlify for smaller apps, but lately Railway has been my go to. Pretty cheap too and it covers mostly everything you’ll need to deploy app regardless of language or framework. Their UI makes it all very easy to manage with the “nodes”.

    Both of those services (as do most) give you the option to load environment variables onto the app itself.

    So the process is normally this: You have env vars you’re using locally like API tokens that you’re putting in your .env during development. Now you’re ready to deploy. Because you’ve gitignored that file locally, you don’t have to worry about secrets being in your code base, but also, because they’re environment variables, you’re framework will see those variables available in the “box”.

    Ultimately, there’s no difference between having stuff in your local .env and injected by a service during deployment. Just make sure the env var keys are the same in each case.

    Hope that’s not too confusing. If so, I’m happy to clarify anything.

    EDIT: also wanna add that Supabase isn’t that bad. It helps you know exactly what you need it to provide for you and then start searching away to see how to slowly put together each of those pieces. With them, I usually start with the Auth stuff, then move on to my database and storage. Functions last if the project calls for them. There’s quite a bit of info out there if you know specifically what you’re wanting to solve at the moment.

  • You don’t really need to know a specific language to self-host anything. But things like YAML, JSON, Docker, and some networking basic will go a long way.

    If I could do anything different though, it would definitely be to write more documentation. Document the steps taking setting things up, log notes on when you have to fix something, archive webpages and videos that you used along the way. Currently doing that myself now after some time self-hosting.
