How fun it must be for you to continuously pay for something that you will never own, right? All for the purpose of... 'efficiency.'

​Well, it's definitely not in favour of your money's efficiency...

[LaurieWired @lauriewired]

you’ll get mad at me for saying this…but cloud gaming is so obviously more economically efficient than physical hardware I think it’s going to be the default soon.

your home console / pc is idle 90%+ of the day. meanwhile, data centers targets what, 5%, maybe at worst 10% idle.

every second a cloud gamer isn’t gaming, that hardware is being used for someone else, training, etc.

I think there should be a new measurement, something like cost-per effective FLOP hour that takes into account the TCO + effective utilization.

If a gamer spends $500 on a GPU, uses it for 3 years, but it’s only fully active ~5% of that period…the cost-per relative FLOP hour is crazy high! Meanwhile, a $50,000 datacenter GPU might have a *LOWER* cost-per FLOP hour just because the effective utilization is 90+%.

The first change was going from Ubuntu 22.04 (the current distro I'm using) to Ubuntu 26.04 on the new server

A lot of things have changed in 4 years!

Using Vagrant wasn't something I was expecting for 2026.

But it is one of those situations where it is really useful..

[Fernando @fjorgemota]

So I'm working on organizing it.

I'm using Ansible to setup the data and I'm going to make all the projects using SQLite to use PostgreSQL, so I can have a standard setup for monitoring, backup, etc.

In special when it's twice in a day

Always fun to do a "do-release-upgrade" on a server ~700 km away from me

Plus, it also suffers from this constant issue: https://t.co/72yAu0PmnO

It’s interesting how the lack of a decent charts library remains such a persistent problem.

There are always licensing issues, bloat, or SSR issues.

And some JS libraries even try to bring Redux and Immer together? Like... WHAT?

I had to add application-level ping/pong just to make sure the WebSocket connection didn't drop out of nowhere

Amazing.

[Fernando @fjorgemota]

It's impressive that the WebSocket Protocol spec (RFC 6455) specifies a whole Heartbeat mechanism that seems to be... mostly ignored by everyone?

Browsers don't even bother implementing a .ping() method.

And some servers (e.g. Bun) don't allow configuring a periodic ping easily

E não, o certificado digital não está nem perto de expirar.

Um sonho: Parar de receber spam da Identité.

Você bloqueia e reporta um número, eles mandam de mais 2, 3 números..

Sério, que empresa nojenta, repugnante.

I just released Jimple 2.0

Besides support for TypeScript, ES6 Proxy, Async Service Providers, and much more, it also uses npm's trusted publishing for safer, reproducible releases.

See the package on npm: https://t.co/KNLWEnKbAp

It is also much easier to use with AI, too, of course.

The fact that it is fully typed helps a lot in detecting and fixing a ton of silly stuff that AI might not hallucinate about.

It's amazing.

[Fernando @fjorgemota]

Last year, I developed a few websites and decided it was a good idea to use Meteor.

Narrator: It wasn't a good idea.

Projects using it took many minutes to a simple deploy. And the devex was fairly bad. The TypeScript integration was...ehh... tough.

It was pretty bad.

[Fernando @fjorgemota]

No functionality was lost.

No data was lost.

The code is much safer (typescript everywhere!)

Much faster.

And MUCH smaller too.

I feel proud. I'm excited to start shipping projects with it for you all to see and use. :)
