Don't forget Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), which tries to replace the Internet but is also based on it.

Good thing there are many spam knock-off sites re-using their content, so we don't need to start an archiving campaign like with Geocities.

Is it coincidence that comments are turned off on _all_ videos on YouTube[1] related to the redesigns? What options do I as a "normie" have to give feedback? Is there really only o…

A lot of this seems to hinge on "go get" being the best way to get Go source code. Most discussions I've read so far come down to "well, this might be cool, but it would break go g…

The cert is signed by GeoTrust and works perfectly fine on my Chrome on Windows 10. [Edit: Ah, the chain is incomplete, see https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=www.equif…

We are using Caddy as a simple reverse proxy in Docker environments. The configuration is a bit simpler than nginx and we love the tiny Docker images we can create (not sure how la…

I have been running my own instance of Tiny Tiny RSS (with ~30 feeds) for years and couldn't be happier. Migrated from Feedly because of their usability and annoying upgrade remind…

Because using certain keys could break your JavaScript (and JSON was designed to be a subset), like { delete: "me" } If you don't want to keep a list of known keywords around, just…

Is your client possibly the same person who was interviewed for Penn & Teller's "Bullshit" on the "War on Drugs" episode[1]? [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQS910WVlKc

I see your point and share your pain about key-value tables in SQL systems.

"Everything is a key-value pair" is flat out wrong[1,2]: There are four key-value tables (commentmeta, postmeta, termmeta and usermeta), but most of the meat of Wordpress is stored…
