writing own software — Hey all! For years I am writing my own personal software and/or upgrading opensource software with features suitable personally for myself. Today I saw a gemini article, describing exactly what drives me to do this (see link above). How about you? Anybody agrees/disagrees with this?

Any C# fans in the crowd? I have a large legacy C# codebase at work, and I don't like this language.

And, I find it hard to refactor C# code because of hidden control flow, colored functions (async/not/static/dynamic), 'hidden code' like getters and frequent disruptive changes (across runtime/EF versions).

Two small tools I wrote for the web: slcl and slweb — I had been self-hosting a Nextcloud instance on a Rpi3B for important stuff. Because of its bloated design, it rendered the machine unresponsive a few times. In lack of alternatives, I wrote my own vision of it: one that does not use JavaScript, written in C and portable to Unix-like operating systems. slcl requires a hundred times less memory than Nextcloud, while keeping the features I care about: [https link] slcl, a small and lightweight...
