Is it a good idea to setup a mail server for smol mailboxes and to open registration for free with invitation links for example?
The goal would be to reduce volume of emails, as #smolweb reduces the size of websites.

Something smol like:

• one common domain name (something in .casa TLD)
• in a French datacenter
• 128 Mb of storage
• 10 Mb max per email (sent or received)
• 10 recipient addresses per email (can't be used for mailing)
• limited sent per hour (no spam)
• IMAP / POP3 / SMTP (over TLS)
• Webmail (for desktop and mobile)
• autodeleted if full for several months (to free space for newcomers)

Are you interested by such a #mailbox ?

Please share this toot to have a good idea of the interest.

Just merged Musl libc support in Noora! This means you can now build fully static Swift binaries using our design system for CLIs. Perfect for container deployments and cross-platform distribution. Thanks @Joannis for the contribution! 🎉

Indiana University's fascist-leaning leadership fired the student media advisor and zapped the student newspaper because it dared to do actual journalism. The students have published it anyway, here:

And please spread the news these scumbag administrators censored.

I have come away from every protest, rally, and march I’ve ever attended encouraged despite the circumstances those events took place in. Solidarity is incredibly important and it’s an empowering reminder to find yourself among so many people who align with your concerns.

I think about (snd struggle with) this a lot, so it’ll be nice to get some input. Should I use another Mastodon account for omg.lol updates and other “official” things, and keep my personal (Pokémon, ranting, etc.) stuff separate?

Hi there! This is #nakeddiefriday again!

Today I'd like to present you one of frequent sources of pain for C64 owners, the infamous PLA. This is MOS 7700R2. They failed way too often, and considering this is custom silicon, the only option was to get another one of the same.

Many thanks to @root42 for providing this sample!

Just watched @argyleink s talk at Cascadia JS about 25 new and rad features of CSS (while preparing lunch for today). Kinda knew many of them, but great to get a quick refresher on what's possible these days with just CSS/HTML. Absolutely rad demos of these features too!

also, TIL: `field-sizing: content` for select elements! hooray!

Previously we wrote about Reciprocate, a library for adding signal-based reactivity to server-rendered #HTML #WebComponents.

Pretty cool problems to have solved, but what if you wanted more dynamic client-side smarts and the ability to write declarative templates with a trusty html`` function?

Tada! 🎉 Thanks to Joe Pea @trusktr that #WebDev problem has also been solved. Wire up these two solutions together, and you'll be authoring new UI components using familiar DX. 🙌
