• One of the greatest user interface disasters in history

  Mastodon is a microblogging service, so not meant for large bodies of text. This is why the text entry box is small, the columns are somewhat narrow (especially in deck mode) etc. Platforms like https://writefreely.org/ , which are designed to be for blogging and long-form writing, are the place to write this. Write Freely federates so one can follow accounts and interact with posts via Mastodon etc. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Which platform for occasional blog posts?

  An alternative to Plume is WriteFreely, which is a pretty clean & simple experience. Just don't expect to much regarding customization. Source: 11 months ago

• ActivityPub server that can run on Docker with external db?

  And since you've mentioned you want to write a blog, take a look at WriteFreely: https://writefreely.org/. Source: 12 months ago

• Writefreely

  I'm not sure what you've tried to install, but WriteFreely is Open Source and thus free of charge. There is commercial hosting of it, eg. write.as, but with those you don't have to worry about installing it. Source: about 1 year ago

• Newbie Question

  Instead of joining a Mastodon server, have you considered joining a write.freely server? Write.freely is a decentralized platform for writers that integrates the ActivityPub protocol, so anyone in the Fediverse can interact with your posts. This may be more well suited for your needs, although if you still want to join a Mastodon server there are many good answers in this thread. Source: about 1 year ago

• Jeff Geerling: Corporate Open Source Is Dead

  The declining share price and profits is exactly what made it possible for IBM to buy Hashicorp - $6 billion is a snip compared to the $14 billion IPO valuation.

• El Prado Museum in Unprecedented Detail with New 360º Gigapixel Virtual Tour

  Https://medium.com/@heyulei/capture-images-for-gaussian-splatting-81d081bbc826 Feels a lot better when there is a simple Ui to cycle through the views, keyboard and mouse navigation locked on the y axis, and gaussians just look better. Pretty heavy though if the space is large. - Source: Hacker News / 7 days ago

• Implementing 2FA in JavaScript [Gist]

  I'm building a portfolio, out of nowhere I wanted to know how 2FA works and I figured a simple way: implementing 2FA with JavaScript and testing it with authenticator apps! It's all about beefing up online security, one line of code at a time. Check out my Medium article https://medium.com/@nechiii28/javascript-2-factor-authentication-but-one-timepass-word-number-18a6ed433908 for a quick dive into how it's done. - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago
