Somewhat unrelated: Can one buy kvass starter in the United States, and if so, what is it called? I'm not interested in bottled kvass, it never tastes like the real thing and you don't get to watch kvass explosions in the bottle as it is being made
This recipe is similar to how I make mine (in Russian): https://www.gastronom.ru/recipe/55100/domashnij-kvas-iz-hleb...

That's a bit harsh, while I don't agree with OP I don't think that your language helps in promoting a healthy discussion about what is reasonable to expect from a HN front-page post. Also you say that "it's not HN job to entertain you". What is HN's job then? Because honestly I do come here to read things that entertain me.
To be news. I can understand if you missed that, it's not very obvious from visiting the home page.

Kvass starter? I typically just use yeast, old rye bread, raisins, and sugar. Maybe added lemon for taste at the end. This recipe is similar to how I make mine (in Russian): https://www.gastronom.ru/recipe/55100/domashnij-kvas-iz-hleb...
Not trolling or trying to downplay anybody here, but honestly - how “kvass” (readed as “k-v-ass” given it is a “key-value” storage) is a good name?..
About as good a name as the password manager which I'm unable to read in any other way than keep ass . (Just in case you are unaware, kvas/kvass is a traditional north-eastern europe drink.)

But you can’t access Sqlite over the web.
...and you shouldn't.
https://www.sqlite.org/whentouse.html
"Generally speaking, any site that gets fewer than 100K hits/day should work fine with SQLite. The 100K hits/day figure is a conservative estimate, not a hard upper bound. SQLite has been demonstrated to work with 10 times that amount of traffic."
I’m wondering what sorts of use-cases people would use a personal key-value store for. Maybe it’s just a useful foundation for building other tools on top of, like a password manager.
Cool. Curious why you chose sqlite instead of something like badger [ https://github.com/dgraph-io/badger ] given you expose it as a key value database, which badger is.

TLS is available in pre-shared key (PSK) mode. Looks like there is ongoing work to add TLS-PSK to Go's standard library: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/6379#issuecomment-117006...
Cool! If this gets implemented, I'll definitely use is instead of raw AES.
AEAD or gtfo

What do you mean it didn't take off? QR code detection is implemented in native iOS camera and IIRC most android implementations too. Almost everyone can use it. In that sense it took off more than bitcoin.
That is true, its just not as widely used as I would have hoped.
