    @jw Agreed, when they got acquired by GitHub they basically disappeared off the face of the Earth while they were integrating Dependabot into GitHub's monolith and the development velocity just never recovered.

  16. Public · 2022-12-23 05:45+00:00

    @jw Everytime I've wanted to do something specific it's been like "there's a 3 year old issue for it in Dependabot" and with Renovate it's either a quick regex manager away or has just always worked perfectly. I feel Dependabot is understaffed to some extent but it's still inexcusably bad for what it promises.

    @spaghetticode that's helpful, thanks for taking the time to respond! To add some more context, the app clones a Git repository from a user provided URL and performs sync operations every so often. An issue was filed some time ago (github.com/android-password-st) requesting the ability to clone the repository from a domain being served with a self-signed certificate, but I wasn't fully aware of the implications of allowing that so I've held off.

    Hey Google, there's a difference between 3% and a third.

    @drewinthedark @shanselman I just quit my job to take a mental health break and had these exact same worries for when I was ready again.

    It is scary that a lot of giants are cutting workforce massively, but you'll find less doom and gloom within the small and medium sized enterprise space.

    A common pattern among those doing layoffs is them overhiring for a future that wasn't meant to be, such as Meta losing ad revenue and Stripe/Shopify's pandemic growth spurt slowing down.

    You'll be fine!

    @matthewp That's correct. I think it makes more sense to think of this as a vanity or 'short' URL pointing to the real resource, which is your instance identity.

    @sasikanth It's a start but what I was really looking for was some pre-existing hosted solution that I could target rather than deploying my own backend. Though I've realized it'd be easiest to do it myself and have started brushing up on Ktor.

    I wish to add some form of synchronisation into my lobste.rs client (github.com/msfjarvis/compose-l) but I'm not quite sure how to go about it.

    What I need is to be able to have a per user list of links that I can perform basic CRUD operations against.

    Anyone in #AndroidDev have suggestions on what I can use for the backend? Firebase seems like the obvious choice but I'd be interested in alternatives too.
