DVI-D uses TMDS, which is a serial protocol. So if you want to be really pedantic you could call it a serial port even though it’s not RS232.
DVI-A also transmits metadata over a serial connection, but the video signal is parallel analog.

In this case, we’re talking about the OPs example of someone implementing a complex message passing architecture in Java instead of using an off the shelf solution. There are devs with 20+ years at the same company who don’t know the basics of networking/cloud, because they haven’t improved their technical skills much in those 20 years and instead focused on corporate politics. Those are the people who tend to gets asked for advice from upper management.
That because you’re an engineer (I assume). The people signing off on these kinds of projects don’t know enough themselves, so they go to someone they trust (the old timers) to help them make the decision. The old timers don’t keep up with new tech, so we keep reinventing the wheel.
A colleague still codes in emacs and its code is dirty af.
PEBKAC - don’t blame emacs (not sure why anyone would use it when vim exists, though)
You’re probably right, but I can think of a couple other 3d printing projects that have the same issue.
He mentioned colo, so it sounds like he’s already decided against on-prem.
I’m not sure it’s entirely just growing pains. Some of the people arguing for defederation seem to be arguing in bad faith. On the other hand, it seems like they are uniting the community against defederation, which is ultimately a good thing.
Yeah, I logged in to my account on firefox (PC) and there’s a “banned” tag on their profile. On Jerboa their user icon is a red circle with a cross (eg. https://flyclipart.com/thumb2/red-circle-cross-transparent-background-clip-art-674318.png) but given the username it seemed plausible they picked it themselves to symbolize genocide or something.
I didn’t say I prefer a few big instances over many smaller instances. I said I’d prefer if most instances didn’t defederate with other instances, except for spam and illegal content.
In going to stop interacting with you now, because I’m almost certain you are not acting in good faith.
I have a fairly good idea of how this could be implemented, but like I said, it’s more complicated than it first seems.
The issue you mentioned could be solved by the “old” server signing a JWT token that includes both the old user ID and the new user ID. The “new” server would store that token and make it available via an API endpoint so other servers and users could verify that the account on the “new” server is legitimate. This way accounts can be verified even if the original server goes offline.
Maybe they were already banned when I made that post? I still can’t tell if they’re banned. I’m using the jerboa app, BTW.
No, I clearly said I prefer decentralization. Are you intentionally misinterpreting my posts? I’m getting the sense got aren’t participating in these discussions in good faith.
I think it would be nice to keep your post history, subscriptions, etc. linked to your account if you decide to switch instances. It could also give other users a way to verify that the new account is legitimate. It’s not an essential feature, more of a nice-to-have.
Nice strawman.
Worked on, not fixed. It’s an important distinction.
It’s not feasible with the way fedi software works.
I admit it’s more complicated than it first seems, and I’m not deeply familiar with the ActivityPub protocol, but could you elaborate on why it wouldn’t be feasible to extend AP to support user account migration?
Decentralization good. Fragmentation bad.
We’re pretty much at the point where 2.5" SSDs are old…
