About Diti

Curious, adaptable and meticulous developer, with a taste for backend and DevOps, supervised and distributed systems, infrastructure as code, and automation.

Disabled (French “RQTH”). I probably can’t make it past the usual hiring process because of that.

My favorite tools: NixOS, Elixir, Tailscale, Zsh, NeoVim, Blender, ffmpeg.

I also like poker and video science (gamma transfer functions, timecode, etc.).

    This has been a solved problem for at least two decades. Use ASN.1 and choose your encoding rules accordingly: JER when you need JSON, XER when you need XML, and switch to BER/DER …

    Because VC money depends on the company’s growth plans, and VC money isn’t offered if “AI” isn’t part of the product any more. (Sample size of one, told by a friend who’s in direct…

    I extensively report obvious slop websites. Most of them get rejected/marked as “not AI”. That initiative is cute on paper, but they apparently do not trust the community.

    I believe this particular alignment might be virtue signaling to appease payment processors and increase the value of the company.

    If written sarcasm isn’t properly labeled as sarcasm, per Poe’s law, you may consider that message you replied to be a genuine opinion. I would have downvoted the sarcasm (it doesn…

    Yep. Also no author – an actual writer would have taken credit. I flagged the article but it did nothing.

    Woops! This is what sleep deprivation does. Thanks!

    Because support for the app stops the moment the Claude Code subscription ends. No-one enjoys unmaintained apps.

    I don’t think you have understood the article enough. You can use Schema.org/FOAF/WikiData/etc. ontologies in HTML without JSON-LD and the script tags.

    > the main issue is that we lack a global '911'. 911 is for emergencies. I don’t think the global 911 service would give any attention to a LinkedIn scam.

    Not sure about HTML, but you can use ` ` [1] in SVG and it will display localized text based on the `system’anguage` property. [1]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG…

    What about the fact it’s a US-based product so you’re under forced Five Eyes data collection?

    Am I the only one who doesn’t trust Nextcloud because they use Vimeo instead of a privacy-respecting CDN to showcase videos of their project?
