Lots of comments here saying it feels like work. And yet all the simulator games exist? People literally build rigs on their living room to play Truck Simulator games.

I don’t work with rest apis enough and looks great. My only concern is that like everything I do, I end up building a UI and automation. Which might be the point!

“excessive promotion”, right.

You’re doing great work.

I shared it because, out there, there is a junior engineer experiencing severe imposter syndrome. And here I am, someone who has successfully delivered applications with millions of users and advanced to leadership roles within the tech industry, who overlook basic security principles.

We all make mistakes!

I published it to the internet and the next day, I couldn’t ssh into the server anymore with my user account and something was off.

Tried root + password, also failed.

Immediately facepalmed because the password was the generic 8 characters and there was no fail2ban to stop guessing.

Hey, I did the same thing recently! Set it up on my own server, and after a week, I’m starting to see new accounts being added to my explore feed. But there’s no user count.

It’s an annoying experience and I’m not fully sure how to resolve it yet, nor have I dung into it.

Probably overkill and I agree with you.

K8 is for scale. Like managing a whole fleet of servers. Even with my devops team, it’s quite a lift to suggest it to someone who is getting their feet wet.

I did a double take at that $4000 budget as well! Glad I wasn’t the only one.

Yeah. I talk about the product directly.

Lemmy. Or Pixelfed. Or Mastodon.

I talk about the activitypub and decentralization.

I’m trying to remove Fediverse from the conversation because that’s the word that starts to make people confused.
