UK web developer with a love of the laravel framework, @bookstack_app developer.

Now using Mastodon at @[email protected], may still pick up DMs.

[Dan Brown - @[email protected] @ssddanbrown]

Been trialing Mastodon, have liked it, probably just going to use that now instead of twitter. May still check for DMs every so often. Reasons/thoughts here:

@BuDDhAsc2 Thanks, happy to hear that video was helpful!

[Dan Brown - @[email protected] @ssddanbrown]

@tweethue Stop giving this reasoning, it's incredibly condescending. I don't want additional cloud-based features. I don't want additional data of mine in your system to control my lights.

This is not required for creating a secure system, and may often achieve the opposite consequences.

[Dan Brown - @[email protected] @ssddanbrown]

Hey @tweethue, Requiring account sign-in to use my lights is a massive change to the product. I bought into the Hue ecosystem specifically because it worked locally only.

This documentation within the latest @LinusTech video looks a little familiar 🧐

@mariushosting @PlausibleHQ The master tag is way older than the current versions, and is likely just an old development version that didn't have flags set to represent the selfhosted version.

Doesn't seem like something to worry about, but also not sure if there's a reason you're using the master tag?

Within this top 10, neither Massa nor Nango are open source.

This is a continued pattern in Runa misrepresenting projects as open source in their lists and the news articles they generate.

@255kb @github @GetMockoon Congrats! I was a little sad to be rejected myself but happy to see Mockoon in the list of those that made it.

@RunaCapital Out of these the following are not open source:

- Warp (They explicitly say they're closed source in their license).
- Readyset (BSL, old versions will begin to be open source in 2026)

[Dan Brown - @[email protected] @ssddanbrown]

@vinogradovk @RunaCapital @OpenReplayHQ But then where do you draw the line for what open source is? Some of those project's licenses are quite restrictive. Obsidian isn't even source available.

This kind of thing is commonly seen as attempting to stretch the open source definition for marketing and business benefit

[Dan Brown - @[email protected] @ssddanbrown]

@RunaCapital I've raised this kind of thing with you before here:
https://t.co/RhmqBF6qPi

and here:
https://t.co/m1KzkoRrEJ

[Dan Brown - @[email protected] @ssddanbrown]

@RunaCapital As far as I can tell, neither Warp or Umbrel are Open Source.

Nor is OpenReplay, in reference to your other recent tweet announcing your funding of them.

[Dan Brown - @[email protected] @ssddanbrown]

@RunaCapital Examples of non-open-source projects in your "top 50 fastest-growing open-source projects" list include:

- OpenReplay
- Umbrel
- Netmaker
- Obsidian

Please at least start checking the licenses. Just publishing code to GitHub doesn't make you open source.

Watching mentions on Reddit is both a blessing and a curse 😅

[Dan Brown - @[email protected] @ssddanbrown]

Had a stuck "account blocked" message in @monzo, gone through 3 support people, think they've given up and resorted to the great fixer of "wait until the issue goes away" 😅

[Wikimedia Foundation Policy @wikimediapolicy]

The #OnlineSafetyBill would require Wikipedia to verify every reader’s age, whereas intentionally misleading websites remain openly accessible. It would worsen UK readers’ access to trustworthy information, and their privacy as well.

Something I've been adding to the READMEs of my projects recently:

"This is a Low Maintenance Project"

@Delusional Thank you very much for your kind comment and support!

Take a look back at the project in 2022, including our funding, added features and audience reach:
