how do we make this happen in the US? is public opinion different in those countries? is is the relative strength of Big Oil?

when such an aspect forms the foundation of a relationship, the consequences can be even worse, as there are more variables in play and hence more opportunity for degenerative feedback; when your crisis gets caught up with another's, well, neither of you is gunna have a good time
generally, basing ones identity on some shallow self-aspect, like a transient interest, rather than a deeper-embedded one, such as one's attitude towards the world, is a recipe for disaster, certainly leading either to stagnation or worldview-collapse. this is a midlife crisis.
I've seen his happen w/ other relationships which started from some shared interest or experience; it becomes a symbol, a fetish of sorts, and becomes tangled up w/ many other aspects of the relationship, making it harder to rethink or change, a kind of calcified self concept.
interestingly enough were one to meet an SO off this app, I imagine they'd become much more likely to stay veg{an} for longer than they might have otherwise, feeling almost obligated to not change that aspect of their personality, it being such a centrally defining factor
my ex wouldve loved this, being a militant ecofascist vegan; she actively judged unrepentant carnivores, which was ultimately an externalization of her own struggles w/ finding purpose in a flawed world. easier to take a hard line binary stance than to reckon with the discomfort

this allows me to have something that works just like S3 to develop against, and i'll be able to just re-point it at S3 (or another provider, like Wasabi, which i'm using for my masto server incidentally) with basically 0 hassle
H2 is a java in-memory RDBMS which runs right in your application
s3mock hosts an s3-compatible object storage server also right in your app
you can see here how i'm swapping out the ObjectStorageProvider implementation depending on the app configuration
quick note on this bit; as i dont want to set up/manage a real postgres db for development, nor do i want to pay AWS for storage just yet, embedded DBs are super handy, and with clever mocking of provider interfaces you can get away w/ swapping things out

in the past i've mostly avoided talking about projects i have in progress out of fear of accidentally satisfying my "i want people to know i did something cool" impulse b4 i've actually done the cool thing
trying to change this after seeing y'all cool people post about projects
fair warning there is exactly 0 documentation; however this is a pretty standard spring boot app so if you've seen one of those you should be able to find ur way around
here's something i did just now, implemented deleting media; small but important
https://github.com/pee-zombie/memetiq/commit/4179c159d30f1130446c54114f764efb746679be
still got tons more to do b4 this can even be called a prototype; none of the tagging capability is built yet! i'll be updating this thread as I add more stuff, feel free to ask questions if you're so inclined
& if you wanna follow along here's the repo
anyway so i'm using Postman to test the api (great tool if ur not familiar), here's a small sample workflow of me showing the db is empty, uploading the gif, showing its there (not rendered in postman but we see the bytes), and then deleting it and showing its gone
have been using this gif as a test, both bc its funny and bc an animated gif is useful for ensuring all my bit-wrangling works fine
i was midly concerned i'd somehow mess it up and it wouldnt animate when i downloaded it back, but happily this was easier than i expected
anyway so after a bit of work i have a basic prototype for uploading memes working; i'm able to create, read & delete them thru a RESTful API
contrary to the QT currently working entirely locally, using in-memory DBs for each component, H2 and s3mock

RT @pee_zombie
@deepfates tldr I'm using a postgres RDS instance for metadata and S3 for object storage, with a simple java app serving an api for uploading and tagging memes
https://twitter.com/pee_zombie/status/1442535557054308354
as no battle plan survives contact with the enemy, i quickly switched back to java instead of scala, minimizing amount of new things i'd have to do at once. part of me always feels lame for not doing something cool & new with each dimension of a project but that way lies insanity
