Dear @bookstodon

I would like recommendations for books where the main character is a mild villain dealing with much worse villains and is telling the story as they go. Fantasy and Scifi are always comforting genres but I venture out for the right books.

I would also like books where men and women are doing things and are friends without a romance being shoe-horned in. But I concede I might as well be asking for a pony at this point.

Thanks for any help and or boosts!

@Homebrewandhacking @bookstodon https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3227063-the-way-of-shadows there's a smol romance, but books are good! Assassins doing assassin things.

The problem with outsourcing your chat or forum to third parties is that you don't own them. That is correct

The problem with self hosting those things yourself is that 1. nobody will use them because why aren't you just using this 3rd party app that everyone is already using and 2. have fun doing your own spam control

Seems like a bit of a damned if you do damned if you don't situation if you ask me

@eniko Also, turns out self hosting doesn't solve a lot of problems. It's basically only data ownership. I used to run my own email and still run my own ftp, and that shit is a nightmare.

"this code has a several hundred case switch statement, disgusting" said the people who have no idea what the industry standard for coding programming language interpreters is

@eniko Big switch/case statements are bad because they're hard to maintain, not because they're necessarily non performant. If you have a process for maintenance, it's fine!
