Been looking at #gotoSocial a little.
Decided to go hardcore and build it from source, even though I don't even know the programming language Go that it's written in at all.
Went pretty well building and running it, wasn't difficult and it's easy to understand how to adapt the page templates and things.
Seems like account migration works well enough now.
Didn't notice that I'd failed to build a bunch of assets for a while so couldn't understand why the settings page wasn't working as suggested and pages were weirdly ugly and non-functional.
Building those assets is bloody node again. Annoying. Hoping to avoid that.
Anyway. It looks good. So customizable, no effort to really do a reader but you use phanphy or something for that. All I really want is good customizeable shop-windows and a functional API.
Thinking that's what I'll move to if further experimentation goes well.

Should anyone be of the #Emacs and #Tumblr mindset, I'm happy to report there is a fork of Tumblesocks that, while not feature complete, is a joy to use.

I didn't need his required custom packages for Oauth and so far so good. It's rough, but the core essentials are there (the story of all opensource)

Egúngún (Yorùbš) are masquerade or masked, costumed figure, for ancestor reverence, or the ancestors themselves as a collective force.
These spirits are from #Benin

Attached: 3 images Apparently, I’ve decided to share many of my favorite Star Wars memes. I know so much of the SW fandom is toxic and hateful. That said, I’ve been a fan since I saw Star Wars (later renamed A New Hope) in theaters in 1977. It has meant a lot to me, over the years. So here. Have some!

Trepidations but I ask for own #learning: Why does fmt require casting ptr to void*? I assume there are technical reasons (or it wouldn't be required) which I'm just failing to see. Are there links where I can learn more? 🙏🏽
BTW I dabbled a bit to *convince myself* that arbitrary ptr types can be recognized without casting in client code:

Compiler Explorer - C++
//f is highly simplified proxy for fmt

One penny, every 4.78 seconds, if you keep cranking. You also must wear a silly costume and smile, always, and be on time and on call.
(in Ontario you'd get two pennies every 4.3 sec, only we don't accept pennies as barter anymore)

Folks lobbying in the Fight For Fifteen tell me if they adjusted for inflation since their lobbying began, it should be a fight for twenty-five
