Free idea: a browser extension that tells you if the website you're on (and what parts and portion of it) is being served from AWS.

Amazon boycotts are great and all, but let's be honest-- AWS is the cash cow, and we hardly ever know when we're using it.

New rule, #web #developers

Any error message you generate must have your personal phone number plus the personal number of your CEO. That way, when you generate a completely bullshit error like this, we'll have someone to contact.

(I am not running any scripts at all. I logged in to this site successfully **less than 5 minutes ago** from this exact same brower instance. YOUR. CODE. IS. BAD.)

🧵 …zum obigen Toot von drei Jahren fällt mir auf, dass einige #OpenSource Produkte mittlerweile ihre #Lizenz wechseln um nun #Geld zu verlangen. Mit anderen Worten, die haben #Menschen anhand ihr #Wissen und #Einsatz ausgenutzt um nun schonungslos Profit zu ergattern. Diesbezüglich gehören weit verbreitete Werkzeuge für #Web-Entwicklung und der gleichen, die Alternativen zu #Redis & Co. bauen sich nun "langsam" auf.

Any popular web browser are based on Google Chrome, except Firefox 🤓

🚨 Let’s Encrypt at risk from Trump cuts to OTF: “Let’s Encrypt received around $800,000 in funding from the OTF”

Dear @EUCommission, get your heads out of your arses and let’s find @letsencrypt €1M/year (a rounding error in EU finances) and have them move to the EU.

If Let’s Encrypt is fucked, the web is fucked, and the Small Web is fucked too. So how about we don’t let that happen, yeah?

(In the meanwhile, if the Let’s Encrypt folks want to make a point about how essential they are, it might be an idea to refuse certificates to republican politicians. See how they like their donation systems breaking in real time…)

Wenn Let’s Encrypt plötzlich nicht mehr klappt, wird das halbe Internet aus Zertifikatsfehlern bestehen. https://www.heise.de/news/Nach-Trump-Dekret-Kampf-um-US-Foerdermittel-fuer-Tor-F-Droid-und-Let-s-Encrypt-10328226.html

May I just say so myself that I‘m loving playing with Kitten¹ to build Domain² (shown below) and Place³.

¹ https://kitten.small-web.org
² https://codeberg.org/domain/app
³ https://codeberg.org/place/app

Golden rule for a better #web: stop using a service if their browser-accessible website is a simple “download our app” page.

BuyVM is changing hands and the Luxembourg location will be moved to Netherlands. So basically no freedom of speech and more likely government meddling when being involved in more controversial topics. Just so everybody knows.

More info on their Discord (sadly).
