Okay, this is possibly going to be controversial in some quarters, but it has to be said for the good of the Fediverse:

Mastodon.social is not a good way to join Mastodon. If you're already on mastodon.social, you might want to move your account to another server. I've done an article about this topic at:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/its-a-really-bad-idea-to-join-a-big-server

If you want to move your account, there's a complete step-by-step guide to how to do it here:

@FediTips I wonder if it would be feasible to send updates to mastodon.social with a 10 minutes delay to create a small friction and give its users a reason to move out without having too much impact

modern programming is like,

"if you're using bongo.rs to parse http headers, you will need to also install bepis to get buffered read support. but please note that bepis switched to using sasquatch for parallel tokenization as of version 0.0.67, so you will need the bongo-sasquatch extension crate as well."

old-time programming is like,

"i made a typo in this function in 1993. theo de raadt got so angry he punched a wall when he saw it. for ABI compatibility reasons, we shan't fix the typo."

@saddestrobots so that's why openbsd work under the "fuck backward compatibility" mentality...

Is there a good resource or book for learning about some of the details of how webservers work?

For example if I want an IP address on a intranet to be a webpage that people on that intranet can go to... how would I set that up from scratch. Let's say I have a machine with a static IP on the local net... (but what I really also need to understand is how a static IP is established locally, a DNS?)

Maybe the dream book or resource doesn't exist. But I ask anyway.

(it's macs if that matters)

@futurebird static IP live in the router. Each wifi / ethernet adapter have a mac address, router have a list of mac address and IP it should be attributed. From there, either the server request an IP using dhcp and it will happen to be the static one or the server just use the static IP and hope things will be fine.

A DNS let you map a human readable name to an IP. Like "phonebook.local => 10.10.144.37".

for a read only intranet, I would start darkhttpd

@futurebird darkhttpd is a very simple app. It take one folder and serve everything in it. No upload, no calling other code.

when I started learning, I used wamp. It

    I am 35 and I am intensely jealous of the 6yo girl I just saw with the most awesome virtual pet I've ever seen. It was inside a little jewelry box, and when you open it there's a persistence-of-vision hologram display (made with a bar of leds that waves back and forth rapidly). She physically petted the hologram with her fingertip and it made a happy sound and displayed a heart

    @0xabad1dea I have this one

    @0xabad1dea Bitzee if it's the same

    @0xabad1dea I found it :)

    @0xabad1dea and if you are curious about the hologram, it's some kind of flex ribon/pcb with a line of led. It buzz up and down so you can touch the top without damaging it
