@sir I am increasingly of the opinion that marketing is immoral.

@sir I've been using fastmail for my personal domain for several years now. Why "not recommended"?

@sir be happy to, issue at this point is time. What kind of stuff would you want to see improved? What do you use for a back end?

@sir by back end, I meant what do you use for time-series data store? Influx, Prometheus, postgres, etc... I've been tinkering with a graphing UI in elm off and on for a few years now.

@sir as a Ruby app developer, it seems odd to me that I would find Ruby gems in the Fedora package manager. As a Ruby gem maintainer, I wouldn't want to burden distro maintainers every time I release a new version. Do distro package managers even have features like version pinning? Seems like the repos are stuck with the major version that was out when the distro was released, and in a fast-moving world like web app development, you'd be hamstrung to old gem or npm versions.

@sir fully aware of my ignorance, just remarking that relying on my package manager is so far out of my experience as a web developer (and every fellow dev at every place I've ever worked since 2000), I find it surprising that it's even an option. Every 5 years or so when I look into it, it seems completely untenable, all the "happy path" tooling would have to be discarded and something new written. Doesn't help that 99% off Ruby/JS devs use MacOS...

@sir for example, if I want my app to support a new provider in omniauth that's only available on newer versions of the gem, I'm just stuck for months or years until Centos 7 or Ubuntu 18.04 do their next LTS so I can grab the next major version? I'm genuinely curious here.

@sir what about all the other devs on the team that use MacOS? Homebrew is even worse of a package manager than bundler or yarn, when compared to dnf or apt. They're just expected to use a VM for local dev? I gotta say, using a VM for dev is a horrible experience...

@valhalla @sir A quick check of my Fedora 30 install shows there's 1, 250 `rubygem-*` packages available, out of 10,000 on rubygems.org. The current version of the single most popular gem, `rails` in the distro is 5.2.3, and 5.2.4 was released Nov 27. Rails 6 was released back in August. Our main production app has 318 gem dependencies, 137 are available in Fedora 30, and 37 are the version we need.

@sir @valhalla of course not, including some of mine. But there's more than 1200, since that only covers a third of what's needed for even a comparitively small app like ours

@sir I’ve been a happy customer for years. It’s very cheap, and they even have a cheaper plan available if you’re technical and don’t have to contact support with dumb questions.

@sir I've been a happy user of https://octobox.io for a couple years now. Similar to the old UI, but better.

@sir when wrestling with a TOML config that gets into the deeply-nested dicts, I wish they'd just use json or yaml instead.

@sir I've been a rails developer since the beginning, and have delt with many memory leaks. It's pretty hard to leak memory in Ruby itself, the vast majority of the time it's from deep within C extensions, like imagemagik or libxml.

@sir 2020 needs a backup save we can restore. This one is to far gone. Like SimCity right before you summon Godzilla.

@james years ago, when you first set it up. Don’t remember where exactly, though.
