Looks very comfy, I am glad there is so many new alternatives to manage deployments a la Heroku. I remember even back in 2018 it was hard to find any good options to beat Heroku's level of functionality.

I made a Dokku wrapper myself and manage my deployments that way, I'm pretty happy about it these days, but again it's nice to see more alternatives in the wild.

Did you open source it?

I haven't, recently I've been polishing the code a little bit with hopes to do just that.

That'd be great, I'd definitely look at it.

I know this is a tangent, but I just want to share this oddity. I am 38 years old, and I have been trying to buy Neuromancer since 1999. I have been in Santiago, Rome, London, Miami, Madrid, Bogota, live, in situ looking for the book on mainstream bookshops and I have never found a copy to buy. I know Neuromancer by heart but I have never been able to buy a copy of it. 38 Years.

This is a funny comment because just last week I bought a second-hand copy in Berwick-upon-Tweed. I haven't read it yet but it's been on my list forever and it's a mint copy with a nice yellow cover. It was published in the UK as part of the "SF Masterworks" series which is a trove of previously out of print stuff. If you come to London again you should find it in most large bookshops like Waterstones.

Did you try asking shop staff? You might have happened to be in when the shelf was dry but the stockroom had a copy. This isn't really an oddity.

It's everywhere in any major bookshop in London like Waterstones and Foyles

And once the TV series is out, you'll see it even more

For what its worth, I just checked my local Barnes and Nobles in the suburbs of New York and they had it.

You could check it out from a library and just not bring it back. They'll charge you the MSRP.

Check large chains like Indigo Books in Vancouver - Gibson lives there.

There was a .FREE initiative but that got all weird after a while, the deadlines were not respected and then nothing happened... https://icannwiki.org/.free

This is fine, but Hyprland/Omarchy is a different paradigm than you average Gnome/KDE distro... As much as I would love to love Omarchy, it is just not my cup of tea, I just like to operate on windows floating everywhere, and get pissed that I can't find what I'm after and Super+Tab two full rounds before landing where I want to be, I just like that, I thrive in this chaos... I settled for Bluefin which is by far the best developer experience I have ever had in my life, it is just the perfect distro for coming from either Windows or macOS...

You're absolutely right, based on the tenor of the previous message exchange, it is likely that brap is indeed sarcastically responding to gryfft. Do you want me to explain the mechanics of this interaction?

I think what they did is slimy as hell, but it's hard to side with anyone using Discord, Slack, et al for doing community based support and building a knowledge base. This was not an issue in the era of forums, that supposedly were replaced with SaaS closed communities because of spam...

Fyi, Campfire is open source now: https://github.com/basecamp/once-campfire

You're finding it "hard to side" with a literal nonprofit charity getting bullied ruthlessly because something something SaaS not self-managed? My God, dude.

This isn't a charity focused on aiding the homeless or something like that. This is a charity focused on teaching programming. When there's perfectly good open source alternatives to slack it IS their fault since they should know better. If not for being immune to such problems then atleast for saving money since IMO a non profit should be as lean as possible. A for profit company can justify using a SaaS in a cost / benefit calculation, having to face competition so they need to move very fast etc. This isn't the case for a non profit.

I have always found the argument of "They deserve this because they should know better" to be a very bizarre way of thinking.

It implies there is only one correct way to think or to prioritize or to approach a problem. It also (pointlessly) tries to shame someone for something that has already happened and cannot be reversed.

I would find it hard to side with Jesus Christ himself if he decided to start teaching via Discord server.

I wouldn't mind if it comes with fish and wine. On the other hand, I believe Discord will be the next bomb for too many communities/groups out there. Or maybe after they get acquired first, either by a PE or a PE-esque corp (e.g. Salesforce, Oracle).

I feel like communities have very good reasons to at least consider the option where the most users (since this nonprofit focuses on teens) are already using

It's reductio ad absurdum with a twist, and that dude is the typical shoe-in for hyperbolic examples that need a moral paragon.

The number two focus of a charity should be good financial management. First being the charity's mission. I would not support even a large charity to pay $200k/yr for a chat server.
