Best way to learn is ask creative questions. Questions GAI: with llms does it matter what order the tokens are passed through the neural net? Yes, the order of tokens passed through an LLM absolutely matters. While Transformers are designed to process tokens in parallel, they rely on specific mechanisms to Read more…

Installing Rocket.Chat on a dedicated Ubuntu server without limitations (meaning, full self-hosting with root access, no user-count restrictions, and full control over data) is best achieved by manual installation using Nginx as a reverse proxy. This method provides maximum performance and customization compared to snap or containerized deployments. The following guide uses MongoDB 6.0, Node.js, and Nginx on Ubuntu 22.04/24.04.
Prerequisites

50 User Limit: Unregistered or unregistered-starter workspaces are generally restricted to a maximum of 50 users. If you exceed this limit, the workspace may become read-only.
If installed with snap pack yes. if installed with docker no.
For high traffic go with the Docker install method

Software

Software development using GitHub works by leveraging Git, a distributed version control system, hosted on a web-based platform that adds tools for collaboration, code review, and project management. This system allows multiple developers to work on the same codebase simultaneously without overwriting each other's changes.
Key Concepts
The Typical GitHub Workflow
The standard process, often referred to as the GitHub flow, involves a series of steps to ensure code quality and seamless collaboration:
git clone command.
git checkout -b <branch-name>.
git add to stage files and git commit to record the changes as a snapshot in their local repository.
git push command.
This iterative cycle allows teams to manage complexity, track history, and maintain a stable main codebase while experimenting and collaborating efficiently. The process is further enhanced by integrated tools like Issues for task tracking and GitHub Actions for automation (e.g., automated testing and deployment).

In the first hour I showed some PRs I prepared for MIME::Lite you can watch the video here.
In the second hour we had two pair-programming sessions. In each one a participant was writing the code and I was giving the instructions. Driver-navigator style. Others added valuable comments. This part was also recorded and you can watch it here.
Please follow that channel and "like" the videos. That will help spreading them a bit further.
I've schedule a new event. You can register here.
I also mentioned that in order to make these events sustainable I am looking for corporate sponsors. If you work at a company that uses Perl a lot and you think these sessions are valuable, let's work out a way for them to sponsor the events.
Sponsors will be mentioned on the OSDC web site and in the Perl Weekly. They will also be able to give a list of modules important for them and we'll try to work on those in our sessions.
