Fans of SDF
Welcome to SDF Chatter - a federated Lemmy instance
Hello, I'm somewhat in the SDF community already, even though I rarely come up on COM or BBOARD. I'm a developer by day and I am generally very interested in anything relating to programming, AI, cognitive science, and I've recently taken some interest on bare metal programming, SoCs and RISC-V stuff.
You'll also see me involved in some stuff relating to Plan 9 and, more recently also, Golang programming for Plan 9 on ARM.
Looking forward to participating in SDF activities on Lemmy as well!
I'm thinking of switching from php / node to golang for the server side. Did you have any good experiences with any gratis self-paced online 'schools'?
Not really, to be honest -- most of what I learned so far about Golang was from their website's documentation and examples. It is not hard to learn in my opinion, especially if you also know some C (since you come from a PHP background, I assume you could manage Golang with a few tutorials). You should probably take a look at Go by Example to see for yourself.
As for "schools", I won't recommend any simply because the only online courses I was recommended were paid ones, and they also did not seem to be extremely good. Furthermore, they were in Portuguese, which is my mother language.
PS. I was also surprised at how Golang does some trivial stuff like connecting to databases. Did you know every database "connection" in fact works as/can work as a connection pool? You end up writing code as if you're sharing a single connection between threads, but in fact, you're not.
Hello, epl692 here. Been an SDF user since... Oh... 2006 or so. That was a good year for SDF I think. Well... A good year to sign up. Been with the community since. Not always active, but im enjoying the Lemmy and Mastodon instances, board, irc, com, etc. Anyways, good to be here and still figuring this out. I have a reddit account. But always found the site to be somewhat limiting. Maybe I was shy? Anyways. Hello, world. Anyone know of a good command line client? I found neonmodem, but I can't seem to get it to work.
EDIT: It's neonmodem, not neomodem (made the correction), and it works just fine in the latest version, especially when you get your password right! Ha!

Hello, I'm saba! I've been on sdf a few years, can't remember exactly when I signed up. I'm currently a metaarpa supporter because sdf provides a lot of great services to people with similar interests to me. I've been on the mastodon.sdf.org instance since it's beginning. I signed up on lemmy.ml 3 years ago when I first heard of it and then didn't really visit it much for a couple years. With the recent reddit exodus, I started using it again. When I noticed it was getting busier, I thought it would be great if sdf hosted an instance, then I got the email about this instance! Great to be here! You can also chat with me on irc or sometimes on com if I have time and am listening to anonradio.
Hello world! Game master and general nerd here. I'm into tech and learning new things.
Hello, long time FOSS user here, I landed in SDF and the Fediverse a few weeks ago, but just noticed the hello world post. I am still adapting and finding my place, but I am VERY happy with the experience so far! Also, I find myself participating much more than in the "other" site, probably because the general feeling and tone around here is quite good and relaxed.
Refugee from reddit here, on the first day as a registered Lemmy user. I am a techie who loves cats, dark humor, nature, introversion, and much more. I have high hopes for Lemmy to dethrone and replace reddit as an online community space.
Greetings, SDF from drelcott.
Greetings everyone! I'm new to the SDF but an old UNIX fart from wayback with a fascination for the intersection of art and computing and the creative applications of technology.
Totally love the community and really appreciate all the hard work that goes into it! I hope to be able to help out as I get more familiar with the lay of the land.
I'm a devops engineer with MIT Online Learning by day and I love tinkering with old computers, gaming, and spending time with my wife and our rescue pup by night :)
Please take care and look forward to chatting with you all!

s'up everyone.
I'm lambalicious admittedly I'm a lurker both here and on the SSH side of things and only mostly visit the bboard when I remember that I like to use SSH for stuff that is not daily job. I work with computers, but they are alas not as cool as the computers from the movies I like to watch. I'm from Chile, so my English is ESL but el glorioso Español es very good. I like cats, too. I hear the internet loves cats.
When I have time for myself I develop plugins for DokuWiki and also sometimes code stuff for working with some SQLite databases. Sometimes maintain a legacy C++ library thingy. Oh and I play Nintendo games obtained via totally legit providers.
Hi sdfpubnix lemmy community peoples!
Just wanted to say hi...I finally created an account here to check it out. Another way for me to be differently social with people I like! Many familiar sdf operators here. Hope to see more of you around on the system, in the COM[MODE}, in the gopher underground, on smolnet, and the fedifferentlysocialverse!

Hello!
I joined the SDF a number of months back but got more involved about 2 months ago when I upgraded to a MetaARPA membership.
One of the things I just adore about the SDF is that, as a new comer, it seems to emphasize the creative, artistic and social aspects of computing rather than being yet another place for entrepreneur culture mavens to try out their new side hustle :)
I have nothing against making money, but I fell in love with computers in the 80s because they were bicycles for the mind, and I want people to remember that :)
I've been stumbling around the Boston area for close to 40 years now. I adore old computers, reading anything and everything I can get my hands on including but not limited to science fiction, urban fantasy and science/history.
It's neat that MetaARPA members get PBX extensions - it would be neat to organize a voice chat every now and then if there isn't one already!
Thank you to everyone who helps make this happen. I look forward to figuring out how I can pitch in helping to continue to make this place awesome :)

Greetings, programs! I'm RotaryKeyboard, freshly immigrated from the now-defunct lemmy.ninja. I'm happy to make sdf.org my new home!
Just wanted to pop in and say hello!
Hi all, I am an OpenBSD ports maintainer, and hopefully at some point kernel hacker
hi im dosuser123456 but you can just call me dos, i aftuallky joined 4 months ago...

Hi all! Just migrated from Reddit because of the shitty new API regulations. Knew about the SDF for some time now and just recently discovered its Lemmy instance. I am just a nerd who likes low level programming and hacking on stuff. Hope you all have a great day!
Hi Lemmiers
Long time SDF user when SDF, Hobbiton and freeshell were feeling like home.
Moderator of a nearly non existent community on Reddit, let's give this instance a try, can't be worse than Reddit 😜
Hello World!!! I am... ;)
Hi. Already fun.
Hello, SDF.
Hi! I'm a developer (mainly backend, but studying system programming and happily tinkering after work). I'm considering closing my accounts on centralised social networks for good. I've tried mastodon and nostr, but the microblogging format is not something I particularly enjoy. I'm also setting up my capsule in the gemini space and trying out gopher as well. Happy to connect there as well if anybody is interested :) You'll find me commenting/reading on lobste.rs as well.
