Is your company looking for a keen self-hoster with plenty of #Linux experience? I grew up with #RaspberryPi and have picked up many skills along the way including #React, backend JavaScript (#NodeJS) and #Docker. My current obsession is monitoring all the things with #Grafana, #PRTG and #Prometheus. I’m based in the UK but open to primarily English-speaking roles in Germany, too. Currently wrapping up my Advanced Software Development degree but eager to continue learning! Boosts appreciated :D

I started looking into PeerTube and I'm currently installing it. However, in the install instructions it says to use node.js version 20.x but there are much newer versions out already (with even number), e.g. 22.x LTS and 24.x versions.

If I install 20.x, then I'll not get any more bug fixes, and security fixes ends in April next year.

Should I try and go for 24.x?

Any good resources out there on building secure (but easy for someone who’s messing with javascript/typescript for the 1st time) login systems with nodejs and postgresql?

I think I’ve seen someone on fedi mention that bcrypt wasn’t really safe a while ago?

@carnage4life ironically their software quality also seems to deteriorate. Win11 on an underpowered Laptop is extremely slow!

Afaik they use a bunch of #NodeJS for OS components, which makes sense if you want to hire cheap web devs or want to make shiny software without heavy systems integration...

But if they use #AI, they could also write efficient software, as they dont rely on humans?

Ahoy you federated beauties.

I have decided to go freelance! If you are looking for a skilled software developer with a heart in UX & DX - Let me know, I'm sure we can cook something up!

#React , #TypeScript , #css , #rust , #java , #NodeJS are some of the fancy tooling I can not only offer, but offer to teach as well.

For those of you who's interested, you can reach me under paul@paul.wiki.

So recently the @nodejs project posted an article seeking LGBTQIA+ stories from people who use or have contributed to Node.js, I shared the link last week.

Anyway, I decided to submit a story of how Node.js and tech in general was a lifeline for me as a teenager, in a world where I didn't quite fit in, and how I came to realise I was trans.

Many thanks to them for providing this opportunity!

Well, that was a fun error: went to install a node.js project, which depended on sqlite, and it failed because Python 3.13 no longer has distutils in it, and you instead need to do:

pip install --upgrade setuptools

To get the distutils package.

This happened because the Node.js module for sqlite uses node-gyp for building, which depends on distutils.

I use Obsidian for writing. And I tried a few plugins to give me daily word count progress. I have a very small set of functional requirements. I had Google Gemini provide me answers on how to develop Obsidian plugins, including setting up a development environment, then I asked it to create a plugin with my functional requirements. Even saying "add a button" to update the script after a few rounds of drafting. Everything worked. I'm blown away. I'd never written an Obsidian plugin before. As a former developer, I knew what questions to ask, but I developed this plugin using only natural language prompting. I'm a skeptic about AI hype, but these sorts of things cause me to shake my head about the future of development, both positive and negative possibilities. #AI #LLM #Obsidian #development #plugins #nodejs #typescript
