Yes as it is almost the same category as mastodon
Isn’t it enough to have a single offsite backup?
Whats the risk? My uptime is pretty good and I host from home.
Why not host at home?
But it’s not self hostable.
Not self hostable and not secure by default.
Most people use JavaScript for this nowadays, but most commentary also hates on it.
I’ll be real with you. There’s a reason JavaScript keeps being chosen despite the hate. It’s so much easier and the dev experience is much more polished for creating desktop apps.
The reason it’s hated on is that it is running a browser in the background, which people view as too bloated for a desktop app. Moreover, JS tends not to play well with system-wide themeing like GTK or QT.
But in the end, as a developer, you’ll be dealing with a lot of messiness going with anything else. If you’re up for a challenge, do try other things. But if you just want something that works and looks nice, do Js
I do agree that the hard left seems to enjoy using “liberal” as an insult, knowing that what most Americans interpret as “liberal” is different than the academic definition they use. It needlessly diverts the conversation and makes them think they’re superior.
Saying “shitlib” is even worse. Basically an adhom attack, not acceptable when the other party is being civil and respectful.
On #2 and #3, I don’t think that is relevant to the original accusation. Of course they will uphold their own views. But #1 is very valid. Though I wish to see examples of it because I have not.
Do you have examples? I am not doubting, since I’ve seen loads of people saying it. But I’ve never come across it myself.
Will Godot be helpful? Given what I’m making is non graphical and I don’t really want to use pre-simulated stuff.
I don’t want to do it absolutely from scratch. I do want something that makes the math easier, but not restrict me in how I simulate something.
So I want something that would give me common functions used in simulations, but not something that gives me “here’s a model for money or person”.
I am simulating a database table as a json list. So a join table would be simulated also as a separate list (or separate json file).
What I described in the comment above is the same thing I originally described, but expanded.
A dependency relation can still be many to many (and in my case, it is). The comment above gives an example to prove it.
Sqlite is nice but the file would not be readable in a plaintext-like format from my understanding.
That’s a good point!
The reason I am using JSON is so I can have a flat file, sorta plaintext. This way, the storage is easily readable by the user without any special tools, and can even be debugged or modified directly, or using a tool like jq
. All this without the need for a heavy database engine, indexing, etc (I am not operating at a large scale). I dont believe MongoDB would be suitable for me based on this, but please let me know if you think I am wrong.
The list would still allow a many-to-many relationship. Let demonstrate:
entity A and entity B both have 2 members: A-1, A-2, B-1, and B-2.
we add a “relations” field to entity A, which is a list of IDs from B, describing the list of B’s that A is related to.
A-1 has the relations field as: [
and A-2 has ][
. ]
As you can see, this is a many-to-many relationship. Each of our entities is tied to multiple entities. So this is many on both sides, hence many to many
Currently, I am storing entities in a JSON array / list. every element in this list corresponds to one instance of that entity.
I could express a many-to-many relationship as just another field in that entity that happens to be a list / array, or I can imitate a SQL join table by creating a separate JSON list to log an instance of that relation.
Are there any benefits to the second approach?
Lemmy is kinda close to forums and groups. But I do agree I prefer that format over the Reddit-like format.
That’s just a bandaid on capitalism’s issues. Urging people not to support the biggest actor will never work in the grand scheme of things, when said actor provides their best immediate interests.
