This sounds pretty awesome tbh. Will check out the two books mentioned.

It started with a popular mastodon posts on how to block openai crawlers I think, and I’d like to know whether people are actually implementing it.

Private project, not really security related: Crawling robots.txts to gather some statistics on which bots people are most often excluding - weirdly I couldn’t find any recent/regularly updated stats on this.

I really like the app for my personal reading tracking. Been using it for a couple years, and this year (?) there was a huge update that improved it a lot (better UX/UI and statistics if I’m not mistaken).

It’s mostly an app that does what it should, but not more, and gets out the way, which is awesome.

Thanks for recommending it, it does look really nice. I’ll definitely check it out when a fitting project comes along.

I mean, this is a light-hearted meme, no offense to the people actually fixing things.

But at a company like GitHub the first status update should be and probably is created semi-automatic (just approved by a human). Afterwards they should follow a process to assign an incident communication lead, who takes over all communication so that the rest of the team can work on fixing the incident.

@GitHub: Hire me for more incident response tips from the backseat! :P

Especially for game developers game-jams are a great way to prevent scope creep and actually push towards a deliverable at the end of the timeframe.

And by signing up in advance you have something to hold yourself accountable with.

That being said, as a game dev, or developer in general, you need to be pretty frustration resistant. Even as a senior dev you still have these situations. Most often it’s the dev that’s wrong, not the computer (or third party library/framework/engine).

I’d also advise against using chatgpt and instead go for some basic coding Tutorials first.

I’m actually not that into actual self-hosting (it feels too close to my day job). But i love the idea of it, and actually do host my own RSS Reader: It’s selfoss (PHP + SQLite, so, very simple) and i have been using ever since google reader shut down. It runs on my uberspace.de instance.
