phoenix
inspired by oodsnet, (and my pull request to add darkmode), i started to create my own tilde.team fork (now forum.tilde.team).
the first step was to switch out the css to the tilde.team standard and update the classes for bootstrap. once i got it going and integrated with the tilde.team linux auth service, i asked other tildeans for input and suggestions.
~micaiah was interested in helping, but also wanted to learn a new language and/or framework, so we decided to start over, recreating the entire forum with elixir/phoenix. we'd discussed elixir previously, but never had a convincing use case to force us to learn it.
the project is live, with the source code on github.
the thing that i'm most impressed with is the speed of the erlang runtime :D
check out these response times. sub-millisecond!?!?!
give it a look, and join the tilde.team if you want to come hang out!
net neutrality vote today
Everybody! We only have UNTIL TOMORROW to fight the FCC & the repeal of #NetNeutrality! Repealing Net Nutrality would result in an unequal access to online content including research, social/political organizing, and personal media. It would also allow powerhouse companies providing internet to charge more for regular quality internet, and charge certain users more than others. HERE'S A WAY TO ACT - takes less than a minute.
- Go to gofccyourself.com (the shortcut John Oliver made to the hard-to-find FCC comment page)
- Click on the 17-108 link (Restoring Internet Freedom)
- Click on "express"
- Be sure to hit "ENTER" after you put in your name & info so it registers.
- In the comment section write, "I strongly support net neutrality backed by Title 2 oversight of ISPs."
- Click to submit, done. - Make sure you hit submit at the end!
Copy and paste this into your own status update! Seriously, this is simple and so important. Do it.
