  • Can’t speak for OP, but the Vault software itself is fine. It’s their recent change in licensing that has a lot of people upset and looking for alternatives:

    https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/hashicorp-adopts-business-source-license

    That is why today we are announcing that HashiCorp is changing its source code license from Mozilla Public License v2.0 (MPL 2.0) to the Business Source License (BSL, also known as BUSL) v1.1 on all future releases of HashiCorp products. HashiCorp APIs, SDKs, and almost all other libraries will remain MPL 2.0.

    BSL 1.1 is a source-available license that allows copying, modification, redistribution, non-commercial use, and commercial use under specific conditions. With this change we are following a path similar to other companies in recent years.











  • Yeah, like 99% sure, anyway (unless something changed in 0.19.4 I’m unaware of). lol Got an example?

    It’ll only show ones the instance knows about, and the URL has to be exactly the same. I’m not sure if there’s an internal limit to the number of crossposts the API will return, but I’ve seen spam posts show at least 7 or 8 crossposts in the list. Any more than that, and I’ve usually already banned the person for spamming.

    The posts that show up under “Crossposts” just have the same URL. They don’t have to actually be crossposted. Any post your instance knows about that has the same URL as the one you’re viewing will show up there.

    To answer @mark@programming.dev 's question, there’s nothing really special about crossposting in Lemmy. It works the same as creating a new post except it just pre-fills the URL, body, and title as well as adding crossposted from https://instance.xyz/post/12345 to the top of the post body. They’re separate posts and the only link between them is they’re matched on the URL and show up in the “Crossposts” list.


  • I have no artistic or musical talent whatsoever, but I do develop software as a day job and as a hobby which has a bit of creative overlap.

    For me, I just have to completely step away for a while and do something completely different as a palette cleanser. Sometimes that’s only for an hour, sometimes a week or more. Sometimes I never go back to it, which tells me I wasn’t that interested in it to start with. What I do know is that if I force myself to keep going when I hit that creative burnout stage, the results suffer along with my mental health.

    That works fine for my hobby projects, but for work, I pretty much have to power through. Luckily, for my professional work, it’s more backend / business logic than frontend / UI which is where my creative burnout usually crops up.

    May not be a universal solution, but stepping away and changing gears works for me.
