Oops I just realised I necrobumped this from 5 months ago.
My bad
Hey man, I'd offer to support here but I've got about 3 volunteer projects going at once right now + my hobby projects + my full time job.
Is there any way you can throw up a static maintenance page with some basic "We expect to be back online in X hours" when you need to implement stuff like this?
If you need I can throw together a little something that can help with that, but when the instance is down I have no way to know if the instance is gone forever or if its just a temporary upgrade.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to make it seem like I'm ungrateful, I really appreciate you hosting this, and this system is no doubt necessary, but I accidentally got too much work done today because my memes were gone and it made my day worse :)
Alternatively, don't fix what ain't broken.
Nobody updates PHP lol
Nobody is doing that. People are smoking because *gestures vaguely at the world*
test would work too
I use something like user@invalid
Or user@domain.invalid
invalid a reserved TLD meant for basically this exact use-case.
See RFC 2606
Fkin lol
That looks bad fam. Did you hurt it, or is it just swelling? Is it painful?
My wife's ankle sometimes swells if she's been wearing restrictive shoes or her allergies flare up, but its not usually by this much.
I get the doctor thing. I would just go to an urgent care for something like this so they can tell you if its something to worry about or not. Those are usually pretty quick and cheap, but YMMV.
Wishing you best of luck, no matter what!
Yes.
Was also looking for an announcement.
Went to git.programming.dev to look for updates. Cloudflare error.
I lovehate this and you're a cool guy
I think the primary issue here, and the underlying cause of a lot of the negative feedback you're getting is: you're making some very bold claims right off the bat that aren't substantive but present this project as something its not even close to being yet, and probably won't ever be, unless you get some serious buy-in and help from some of the smartest people on the planet.
"This might become the worlds most secure messaging app."
Really? Do you have any basis for such an assertion? My NAS might become the world largest repository of half-finished side projects. Do I have any reason to believe that it will be though? I do have a lot of unfinished side projects on there, but the only reason I'd ever make such an assertion is if I thought that it had a real shot at being the case.
"This project demonstates a unique approach to secure messaging. The approach is different enough that it can't be easily compared to Signal or SimpleX."
Yeah, it sure does demonstrate a unique approach alright. Does that make it incomparable to (what is widely considered to be) the worlds actual most secure messaging app?
Look, man, I like fucking around with tools in hacky, weird ways as much as the next guy. I even built a self-hosted, federated, zero-knowledge multi-user file storage platform, but you don't see me out here saying "this may be the most secure file storage system in the world". You're advertising what is at this point a hobby project, and trying to pass it off as something worthy of other people's time, to give you feedback and ideas.
You want some real feedback? OK here's why I wouldn't use this:
- I don't know you, and so far, you're not inspiring confidence I should trust you with data I'd like to keep private.
- regardless of if all data that lands on the actual repository is encrypted, you're still leaking a ton of metadata to to anybody who can read the repo in ways that other services don't.
- you brush off the AI coding concerns as if they're unimportant. Look man, I don't care, you do you, but you're claiming this is a secure messaging platform. I'm not the guy who will tell you not to use AI for coding. I use it for coding too at work; but while coding with AI, you still have to be hypervigilant if you're going to end up with anything even remotely approaching good code. I've been around the block a few times, I've vibe coded, and I've built good code with it. But when other people are trusting me to do a good job, I understand their concerns, and I use AI for what its good at: typing fast and language fluency. I use it like a fancy keyboard that talks back. If it has made decisions for you (and it doesn't always tell you when it does), that's not a keyboard anymore. Thats a million monkeys pressing keys on a keyboard, and you're hoping you get Shakespeare.
I wish you the best of luck on this project. If you want serious feedback from people, show them your effort. I see someone that wants to be important utilizing the tools at their disposal to shoot their shot at getting some useful feedback. That's not a bad thing to be. But I think the particular audience you're aiming this at, and the type of thing you're making, and the way you describe it, need reconsideration, by you, the human.
I think its an analogy fam.
Some of us get handed broken clarinets in life and have to figure it out. In order to kinda fit in.
Some of us get regular clarinets that sound fine.
Surprisingly maybe to you, everybody assumes the person with the bad sounding clarinet is just bad at clarinet despite trying their best.
But when given the right tools, they're amazing.
Do I know too much about the Matrix lore? 🤔
Anyway haha iphones mean you can't escape the matrix or something I guess.
I get the meme but...
The matrix itself is set in 1999 because that's considered by the machines to be the peak of human civilization. That's why there's payphones.
They're not replacing payphones because they're taking away you ability to escape. This is the real world before the machines take over. We're not in the matrix. We're pre-war with the machines.
Looking forward to scorching the sky though lol.
For some of us, shower phone time is one of the only times I get to use my phone.
I'm just an overworked ADHD programmer, I don't at my phone unless there's a convenient moment during the day. Shower time is when I get to catch up on my YouTube subscriptions.
