  • @aeva I had looked into setting up a free perforce server on Oracle hosted vm - but then its with Oracle too

    But the idea was enough around the same thought

  • 5-year-old: "What is that?" (pointing to my computer screen)

    Me: "My website" (technically the homepage of my blog - with a big feature image about the Fediverse)

    5-year-old: "It's beautiful"

    And now excuse me while I recover from the shock. Do you know how rare are compliments by a 5-year-old? Especially concerning things that are not toys or arts and crafts?

    Planning to spend the rest of the day on cloud 9 ☁️ 😆

    me who was an idiot - should just have said "object storage", s3 is what amazon call their object storage provider.

  • @aeva 1 TB seems to be 3.20 EUR per month: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box/

    There are probably similar offers from other companies as well, because offsite backups at a different provider are a common requirement for professional deployments.

    OVH also has something, but their website is confusing, rather than a base price they charge per GB and month.

  • @aeva after a lot of looking my answer to this was crickets

    but I have two not-quite-adequate-but-still-worth-mentioning solutions

    there's several nextcloud vendors that have pretty decent prices, I rent my stuff from hetzner, about $5/month for 1TB of storage. if you don't know nextcloud, think "open source dropbox"

    but for my projects, what I settled on is a private forgejo instance. I have a little home cluster with 2TB in RAID1, and offsite backups at two different locations...

    and the only reason I can justify the maintenance cost of setting up and doing all this is because my particular brand of autism inexplicably classifies all this work into "leisure activities"...

    but yeah, if you happen to find a way to self host something like this, I can tell you it's going to be very snappy. if you've ever thought: "git doesn't work with binary assets files for games", that's just because you didn't have a full instance to yourself

  • @aeva yeah god

    also like. my history isn't in reality linear, right? like I'll try something and then I look at it and it's shit. so I go back a revision or two and start again and next time I save I probably save with whatever number is next up

    the linear history doesn't really reflect that

    @dylanisaiah AuDHD here. Also a Common Lisp enjoyer.I love the extremely tight feedback loop and how interactive of a development style you get with the language. How anything and everything can be immediately inspected and poked at in the REPL as genuine objects. I like that it's a standardized language, effectively frozen you don't have to deal with things like a new version of a language breaking things. The uniform syntax of Lisp (s-expressions) also aids in low cognitive load imo.With Common Lisp you get a language that lends itself towards a functional style but firmly multiparadigm.What usually doesn't work for me are languages that I can't interactively use. Using Common Lisp feels like I'm literally touching a program, molding it with my hands, meanwhile nearly every other language feels like simply staring at text on a screen.See here for another perspective on Lisp as it relates to a learning disability in particular, extremely interesting: https://www.iwillig.me/blog/on-dyslexia-and-lisp/
