Have you see AI repeat itself inside a paragraph? This looks more like something an editor missed. Fourth paragraph, sixth sentence: "Still, at best, only two-thirds of the occupan…

Looks like it could be a more batteries-included/opinionated alternative to RxDB ( https://rxdb.info ). The relational queries might help some people who tend to think in SQL as op…

Kyrgyzstan passed a law banning many single-use plastics from January 1st, 2027. I hope the ban sticks. It will be challenging to make the economics work. https://24.kg/english/272…

I believe that you can echo the '.dump' command to SQLite. echo .dump | sqlite3 db | ssh user@rsync.net "dd of=db_dump" It worked for me.

You've just described Sandstorm. Sandstorm runs instances (called grains) of applications in a sandbox. The application gets a limited file system and a Cap'n Proto RPC connection …

I build my apps on Sandstorm[1]_. Sandstorm provides authentication as a part of the platform. For Django applications, I wrote Django Loves Sandstorm[2]_. If your application fits…

Perhaps more so than one-click services, Sandstorm is a platform for securely hosting web apps. It succeeded in making apps (called grains) easy to use, but not in making them easy…

Sandstorm uses Vagrant as part of the app packaging (for developers) process. It is _not_ used in everyday use of Sandstorm. Instead, "Sandstorm implements fine-grained containers"…

Sandstorm is in need of more coders to help maintain and update apps, but it's not abandoned. I use it, both personally and professionally. It results in a better experience for en…

If you are not too picky about the exact model of replacement component, you can get most components at bicycle shops on the other side of the world. They are quite standardized.

> I believe another contributor managed to get an app running using Postgres, but I don't know how they did it. I think there's some aspect of the Sandstorm sandbox that throws Pos…

I'm sorry that you celebrated your birthday alone. That's not fun. Don't beat yourself up because you think that someone younger and richer can solve the problems that you are solv…

I agree that everyone, even security researchers, will make mistakes. But there are people who survive with state-level actors in their threat model. These people probably 1) do no…

And yet there is a need for software. I'm supporting a clinic in Asia that is using OpenEMR for records. The government is requiring reporting of diagnoses by category. This is exa…

I think you are right. I had this part of the comment in mind: > Then there is the case where if an Indian gets into management, they will start > filling everything with their fri…

My experience (anecdote) is the opposite. I worked for an Indian manager in a game studio. I don't know what caste, except that he wasn't Christian or Muslim, probably because he d…

Armbian on Espressobin is a nice platform. I have three v5 Espressobins. Sadly, the v5 units have some quality issues. One of the three runs non-stop. The second reboots sporatical…

I can confirm that cloning a local Borg repository to a cloud system works. One of my systems uses Borg to make a local backup. Next, B2's command line tool synchronizes the local …

I don't think I understand how this is not circular reasoning (can't use UUIDs in place of phone numbers because contact list is comprised of phone numbers instead of UUIDs.) If co…

Sandstorm has accidentally solved the problem of rapid change by not having enough developers to continually update the available applications, which include Wordpress. You can als…

Sandstorm(.io) is very cool, and it does make managing your self-hosted web apps very easy. But it does not run Docker containers and it only runs on Linux x86-64. (There have been…

I found a site that made me think of Microsoft FrontPage: http://www.bichonfrise.ws/ HTML 4.01 Transitional and table layouts FTW!

Venkman was the only game in town. It was a glorious day when Firebug surpassed Venkman. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Venkman/Firebug_Comparison

It is funny. But it is also counterproductive. The Spite Software License theoretically makes your code useful only to people who don't care about licenses. But if the source code …
