Wordpress 1,000% (probably coupled with WooCommerce but there are probably some other options)
I honestly don’t even know off the top of my head why you would use anything else (aside from some vague elitism connected to the large ecosystem of commercial crap which has tainted by association the open source core of it) – it combines FOSS + easy + powerful + popular. You will have to tiptoe around some amount of crapware in order to keep it pure OSS though.
What the HECK man?
There’s an underlying problem IMO with all Fediverse software and instances, in that because it’s made available for free, people get entitled, moderators and admins are obligated to sort of do volunteer work on behalf of people who haven’t earned it in order for any of the thing to work, which naturally leads to a inexhaustible wellspring of negative energy because the whole thing isn’t right.
I saw the posts of Ruud asking for people to basically interview for a part time admin position and do a job which for skills and time investment is worth from $50k/yr-$200k/yr (calibrating for the fact that it’s “only” 5-10 hours per week), and all I could think was whoa no no no this isn’t the way. Not saying there’s anything wrong with people volunteering their time to make available this great thing, but I think undervaluing them when they decide to do that is almost inevitable, which has follow-on effects that manifest in all kinds of ways and lead to things not being the way they should be. Occasional prickly or unfair behavior by mods or admins represent one example of that; comments like this one represent another.
What on earth is hostile about the OP post in any way?
Yeah. I think it’s moderately likely that I’ll try to produce a little command-line tool that can do it effectively for deeply nested directories, with some attempt at making it cross platform. To me it’s kind of weird that there’s no stock solution existing to this problem. I get that it’s actually a deceptively difficult problem to solve for a couple of different reasons, but that’s no reason to pass the difficulty on to the programmer instead of just presenting a clean and nice interface.
Update: I looked around for something already-existing, and found watchman and fswatch… IDK, maybe I’ll try to talk one of them into letting me write an fanotify backend for those tools instead. It seems like it’s purely just a Linux issue, and everything is simple on BSD/Mac/Windows, so maybe I’m just lucky.
I think inotify’s limit is per system… and even if it wasn’t, why would I want to take on the artificial challenge of keeping up with making sure all the watchers are set on the right directories as things change, instead of just recursively monitoring the whole directory? The whole point of asking the question was “hey can something do this for me” as opposed to “hey I’d like the opportunity to code up for myself a solution to this problem.” 🙂
Just looking briefly it looks like it uses inotify (which definitely won’t work; I don’t have a super heavy write load but I have a total of 124,000 subdirectories to monitor) or can fall back to polling (which I could do myself without having to involve a library).
Why this app is constructed to store its stuff in 124,000 subdirectories is a separate issue but one that I can’t immediately snap my fingers and make go away, unfortunately.
Not a map, but things I’ve seen on the roads in Boston:
He’s just trying to help you, dude. lemmy.world is by far the biggest instance; 3x the users of the next biggest instance and much more than most. But, lemmy.world is also defederated from some notable instances like beehaw and hexbear. Another instance which also has in the tens of thousands of users (enough to be subscribed to “most stuff”) might well give you better search results.
You may decide that the defederated-from-here instances aren’t worth bothering with, with some justification, but you came in asking for help, he’s trying to help you, and you’re lecturing him about what’s what. 🙄
Lemmy.world has by far the most number of users. OTOH, it’s defederated from some notable instances, so you might be better off using one of the dedicated search sites if you want to cast the widest net.

Search your feelings, you know it to be true
I think it’s fair to say that rape is not an official government position. I think it’s also fair to say that some instances of rape of Palestinians by Israeli forces have been part of the outcome of the occupation of Gaza.
My being honest about the idea that, in the light of what I currently understand, I probably wouldn’t include rape in my comment and only the other crimes, doesn’t mean it’s suddenly not happening, or that Israel’s not responsible for turning loose in Gaza a force of people who in addition to other atrocities seem to sometimes rape people.
Get all condescending about “reality” if you like. It’s still happening. Tell me it’s not.
I literally just now realized you’re probably right.
All crimes they’ve committed? Yes.
If you expect the mods to remove comments like mine, I think we’ve hit the crux of the disconnect between us. All good.
Have a good night as well.
“Sir, you stand accused of kidnapping, felony theft, rape, murder, and arson. I’m going to have to take you away.”
“That a lie! I never stole anything!”
It’s definitely factual. That’s why I linked to some examples of rape. The occupying forces are committing rape. Want me to try to find more examples? Or do the same for occupation, killing, torture, and systematic dehumanization?
The fact that now that I’ve read up a little bit more, I think it’s genuinely pretty unfair to put that in there in the way that I did, and that context needs to be added, doesn’t change the fact that rape has occurred because of what Israel is doing in the Palestinian territories. It also doesn’t change the overall thesis of what my comment was in the slightest.
The wider point, that us being allowed to have this conversation is a good thing and that forbidding this conversation would be a bad thing, was more my point. I won’t claim to be perfect or right all the time, and I’ll be pretty honest about it if I learn something or realize I got something wrong. But if you want to talk about what Israeli forces are doing in Palestine I’m happy to do that and back up anything I’m saying or have said.
I’ll take your feedback under advisement.
Yes. I’m not irritated at how they found it. What I’m saying is, after it was reported, I’m irritated that they decided to remove it.
The mods are not required to remove comments that are reported. It’s their decision whether or not to.
Everything Wordpress is heavily infested with that. However you don’t have to let it impact you – it kind of looks to me like they pressure commercial vendors to put their stuff under the GPL if they’re wanting to offer a free version, so there’s a robust ecosystem of actually-FOSS tooling for it. My experience has been that it’s always worked pretty well in practice; you just have to keep your nope-I’m-not-paying-for-your-paid-version goggles firmly affixed. (Also, side note, GPT does an excellent job of writing little functions.php snippets for you to enable particular custom functionality for your Wordpress install when you need it.)
