Don’t code your microservice like a monolith, keep it maintainable not over-engineered - https://hackernoon.com/dont-code-your-microservice-like-a-monolith-keep-it-maintainable-not-over-engineered-19f9d5d70f79 - still, microservices (ms) come w/ higher complexity: you need a registry, handle auth topics, ensure using compatible versions of ms, debugging is more difficult.

Global Warming.
Die mit Abstand beste Visualisierung dazu kommt - wie eigentlich immer - von xkcd.

If you're interested in self-hosting online services for yourself, your family or your community, there are a number of projects on the Fediverse trying to make it easier:
YunoHost
@yunohost
https://yunohost.org/
FreedomBone
@bob
https://freedombone.net
FreedomBox
@freedomboxfndn
https://freedombox.org/
You don't need an expensive server, cheap machines such as old desktops/laptops and single-board computers (such as the #RaspberryPi) will work too.
Freedomebone: Host your own internet services on an old laptop or single-board computer, e.g. a @Raspberry_Pi - https://freedombone.net/ - and you can create a mesh network too!

@aral You were wondering why people are still joining shameful companies like Philip Morris...
One of my clients just joined them in Lausanne (worldwide HQ). The paycheck is incredible, and everything is covered : private school for kids, premium private insurrance...
Ethics can have a price (for some people)...

I've started putting together a list of #fediverse apps, focused on implementations of #ActivityPub, documenting their status and what tech stack they're (being) built with: https://ethercalc.org/fediverse-stacks
This is a publicly editable doc, so would appreciate corrections/additions, and feedback especially from fediverse devs, but also from instance admins and users:
- What app/implementation/stack did you try?
- Pros/cons you encountered
- What stack & libraries would you choose if starting today?
