Mine certainly does - we lost so much when we killed off our cgi-bin/guestbook.pl

Thank you, it's great to have positive feedback!

Thanks! Yes definitely, I think it's a great fit for anything self-contained and limited scope that doesn't need a lot of code. I've certainly found having an easy way to run a sin…

Me too, I'm convinced it has a place - the number of single file projects over the past few years can't be a coincidence. For me the two missing pieces were models and a path to mi…

I self hosted for myself and some clients for years. As long as you set up everything correctly it's fairly pain-free, but it's definitely worth getting on as many abuse notificati…

Having an OS which boots from hardware is always a feature to me - no matter how badly you screw up your system, you just do a hard reset (boot holding R) and get a working OS and …

So did I: https://github.com/radiac/python-perl/

As you say, I'd prefer to run this sort of thing locally - half the point of running your own CA is that you have full control over it. I wrote caman ( https://github.com/radiac/ca…

Exactly - there's no need for a service like this when you can have self-signed certificates. Create a CA cert to distribute across your team, then use it to sign host, wildcard an…

I've added an experimental branch with SAN support, but I haven't had a chance to test it fully yet; any feedback would be appreciated.

I hadn't come across this when I wrote caman; from the looks of things caman is simpler to use, but missing a couple of features - alt hostname support for SAN certificates (which …

How good are Django 1.7 migrations at detecting things which have already happened? In particular, can you safely maintain South migrations alongside Django ones, or do you have to…

As you say, it's an interesting tech demo (which looks like it would be even more fun if you coupled it with a physics engine btw), but not particularly practical. The way I could …

It may be of interest that the author actually has a degree in CS, as well as her postgraduate teacher training (I was at university with her). As you say, I think her point was th…

But that's part of the problem - comments will only show up if there are enough people looking at it to do the endorsing. A single site-wide list of pending comments won't work eit…

The other type it could cause problems for are whoishiring.

Given they're no longer secret, that would seem safer than typing my e-mail address into an untrusted site to see if it has been compromised.

I agree. They're open source at the moment, and they've been my icon set of choice for some time - I use them in my open source RSS reader, django-yarr, for example. In fact I came…

I feel exactly the same way - wherever possible I run my own services on my own servers, so I know where my data's going, and I'm not at the mercy of someone else changing or remov…
