A few weeks ago I asked about Fediverse apps that are as unlike as Mastodon as possible. People pointed me to some quite interesting ones, like playing chess over ActivityPub or public transport delay announcements https://social.coop/@J12t/110843539252937792
Today I hear that #Gitlab is working on decentralized merge requests over #ActivityPub! If this comes into being, this could be a really major development for the #fediverse. https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/11247

This writeup on Rewriting wipEout from the original leaked source code is a great read. Lots of great bon mots sprinkled in like “I’m not sure what the original PSX version did, but the PC version had a lot of
malloc()and little fewerfree()calls scattered around.”Oh yeah, it compiles to WASM and is playable in your browser now: https://phoboslab.org/wipegame/

I have this script that runs daily on a VPS, and whenever I make changes to it I'd do them locally, commit to GitHub, ssh to that box, and pull the latest. Kind of annoying!
Just rigged it up so on each push a Github Actions runner spins up an ephemeral Tailscale node, sshes through that into my VPS, and pulls from there. It rules

People who have struggled with these issues can find this discussion very difficult and painful and it can be extra distressing to encounter it unexpectedly. Let us decide for ourselves when we have the wherewithal to confront the darkness we carry.
