@jbowen@mast.hpc.social @gnomon@mastodon.social @mos_8502@studio8502.ca Org Social is a social network designed to be loved by a select few. Emacs is its body, and the Org syntax is its heart. I'm very proud that it's for a highly technical niche; it will never be mainstream (I hope). I encourage you to overcome your fear of Emacs and give it a try, even if just out of curiosity to see how it works. Perhaps you can start here: https://en.andros.dev/blog/ddd78757/quick-tutorial-to-get-started-on-org-social/

Fine! After getting 12k visits in less than a day with the article https://en.andros.dev/blog/aa31d744/from-zero-to-a-rag-system-successes-and-failures/ , with 100 comments on Hacker News (and 1 on my website), here is a technical summary of the first few hours:

- Nginx cache solved the 99% of the problems (/media/ , /static/ and HTML render).
- ASGI, with a WebSocket server, worked fine.
- Django performed 100% well
- Django LiveView, with 130 parallel users, worked... surprisingly well. I'm surprised myself!

My server has specifications similar to a Raspbery Pi 4. Don't overthink it: Django + Nginx + Cache -> It is easy to develop and performs well.

If anyone is into LoRa and uses MeshMonitor as an API... I've released an iOS app that I use for chatting.

I built an iOS app to manage my Denote notes from my phone. Dotdenote reads, edits and creates notes following the Denote naming scheme over WebDAV. No lock-in: notes stay as plain text files on your own server. Open source. https://en.andros.dev/blog/9abcdcfe/your-denote-notes-on-the-iphone/ #Emacs #Denote #OrgMode #iOS #SelfHosted
