  • DEI is the reason phones can take pictures of black people now. Once Google started hiring more black people, they could make changes to the software that used to always default to trying to adjust exposure for white skin. Now everyone’s skin tone looks good on Google phones. And all because Google hired a few black people who actually knew it was a problem in the first place.

    The same goes for any representative technology. The internet didn’t just start working for blind people automatically. Companies had to start hiring blind people before they knew it was an issue. We had a blind engineer come in to our team at Google and tell us how shitty our product was for him to use and how to fix it. Most people wouldn’t think a blind man could be a good software engineer, but he helped us make our product work for millions of additional people that wouldn’t have been able to use it otherwise.

    Everyone has different experiences, and just because someone knows how to build what you tell them to doesn’t mean they can make a good product. It’s only when you have diverse input throughout product development that the product you make will truly be good.








  • Did you read my post?

    It’s faster and has a different feature set. Also it’s written in Node.js, not PHP, so I can integrate it into my Node.js apps.

    Neither of the servers you mentioned can work on a flat file system folder, so managing my Jellyfin media wouldn’t even be possible with either of them.

    Neither supports file deduplication, encryption at rest, PAM authentication, or .htpasswd authentication.

    Both require a database and can only be managed through their web interfaces.

    Both of their web interfaces require modern browsers, so wouldn’t be supported on something like a terminal based browser.




  • I’m going to add support for CardDAV, that way you can use it to sync your contacts. I’m currently working on the Access Control Protocol extension to WebDAV, which is required for CardDAV.

    I’d like to eventually support CalDAV too, but that’s harder than CardDAV.

    I’d like to also create another web interface with a more modern feature set for use in newer browsers, and even have file share links.

    An idea I’ve been floating is creating a way to use .md files and .html templates to create a sort of blog, website, or notebook. Something that would be really easy to manage. Basically throw it up on a server, put some .md files in, and you’ve got a basic website. I’d like to use it to take notes, since editing markdown on a WebDAV share is super simple, and having searchable notes from that would mean I could drop Google Keep.
