Software developer. Most comfortable with Go, can do frontend too. I built jungletv.live, underlx.com, tny.im and more. I know more about the internals of GTA V and Watch Dogs than their average players. Sometimes I make music and high effort shitposts.

"Invalid handle" is Bluesky jargon; it's also what most would like to say when trying to read my username. Too-young-me chose it 15 years ago, and it stuck.
I'm gbl08ma everywhere on the internet, but you can call me just G-B-L or Gabriel. He/him. Feel free to reach out, I think I don't bite.

Not having a Spotify Wrapped should not be a cause of FOMO. Normalize the diversification of media consumption sources - and consider properly buying some music for once.

My independent PDS labeler now has a VERY bare-bones page with some metainformation as well as some stats: pds.labeler.tny.im
It's still far from being a "nice web dashboard" but it's better than serving a 404.
Right now, the labeler is aware of 59407 accounts hosted on a total of 1634 PDS.

The other day, I grabbed a Bitwig Studio license for a pretty good price. I figured I could splurge a bit, considering I've spent more hours in DAWs than in most of the few full-price games on my Steam library/backlog.
Now, if only turning this into a complete track was as easy as spending money...

i think it's useful to look at areas where the *tech* has gotten much better while tech *interactions* have gotten way worse. streaming has gotten worse, google search has gotten worse, digital cameras are leaps better. apple's silicone is so good it's threatening their user upgrade cycle
it’s so weird to look around and realize like, tech and media are materially worse than a decade ago

If your web service is unavailable while all of your associates and competitors are doing business as usual, that's a bad look.
If your web service is unavailable while almost everyone else is unavailable, 🤷
Cloudflare and all the big clouds will continue to amass clients, downtime be damned.

I don't listen to enough rock music to know if it's actually good though, so this is not a recommendation. 🤷 Please go buy/become a patron to find out, I guess 🤪

Honestly, this is probably preferable to running stuff on a single cheap server that's technically always online, but only because you haven't rebooted it in ages, meaning it's still running the kernel from two years ago 💀
For You will be down for a few minutes.
I need to reboot the pc because Ubuntu updated nvidia drivers and I can no longer play games. That's one downside of serving the feed from your home pc.

Given the current technological limitations regarding labelers, this only goes so far as your trust in me, but still:
It is not my intention to ever use @pds.labeler.tny.im to limit what content its subscribers see, not even "for funsies," or to hide my own accounts, or any other exceptions.

the owner of the pronouns labeler using it for moderation (blocking/hiding their account, idk what else) is crazy. Users should have more control over how labelers control their experience 😵💫

It is probably not a good idea to run a PDS on a machine without DNS resolution caching. One systemd-resolved installation later, things might be feeling slightly snappier.
