Okay! Hey, y'all. So because I delayed so long in making a reservation, we can't get both rooms at the mox, which is not enough space to fit the group. So, we're back at the Raygun for just one more time, on Saturday, May 26th, at 6PM.

As for next time, we will be having it at the Mox, so here's a poll with only the days when the rooms are available in the evening: whenisgood.net/iggqtib

I can't decide if I want to run my own micro or not.

Your father's ones and zeros. These are the weapons of a programmer. Not as clumsy or random as ASCII. An elegant weapon, for a more civilized age.

What's it good for?

Interviews, enums, and hardware.

How are other folks with static sites handling comments? Trying to get off Disqus… #webdev

@cincodenada cool! It was a pleasant surprise seeing your handle 😀

Federated blocks may be the most important feature for communities. It's great , , and support the ability to limit the reach of bad actors.

Ok here goes, first toot at the hamradio.space mastodon instance... We'll start with a 🐐

I don't fucking know Docker. I can't put that shit on my resume!

_Codes up a docker-compose with localstack against integration tests_

Fine.

Sure, is consistent. That's why one magic envvar is AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and the sister variable flips important adjectives.
