historea.org is available.

It sounds like history, storage and ethereal at the same time.

What do you mean? You definitely can serve with TLS end-to-end with CF, it's called Full (strict) mode, or something like that.

So true. IMO, (web) aesthetic went downhill after that, with web2.0 rounded corners and then mobile friendly minimalism.

Wait, what's the ruler that can stay over any open program, in the demo video?*

Is it coming from another project or is it built-in?

I also like the multi-modal scratchpad on the bottom half of the screen.

Edit: ok this is not a distro in the classical sense.

Edit 2: call me perv. but I'd love to see the back of the box where all the connectors are.

Check out `git init --bare`.

You can basically self-host your repos on a cheap VPS. I did that some time ago. You'll have to create a ssh user that has only 'git' as a shell, iirc, on that box. Works okay. But doesn't provide a web ui.

I think that's where https://git-scm.com/docs/gitweb becomes handy.

Is there any (somewhat) known artist who uses Sonic Pi in their actual work?

I would not be so quick to judge. Book are better consumed actively than passively. To me it hints on a desire to absorb what's being read. i.e. a thirst for knowledge that is weighed above material possession.

What are the advantages of running Kubernetes on a single node versus not using kubernetes at all (which seems simpler to me).

And for some non-geoblocked music, if you want to actually purchase the song as MP3, there's no way unless you have a Mac or Windows PC to install iTunes (too bad for Linux users).

https://uk.7digital.com/ has a lot of songs available in MP3 format, but not as many as on iTunes.

The most difficult thing is to break the ice.

Once this is done, everything feels easy. The trick is to have a rough idea of what you'll say and just take the plunge. And practice.

We all fear rejection. Once you get past that fear, you realise most people are reasonable human beings just like you.

If you're curious about the topic, I recommend the book Rejection Proof, by Jia Jiang.

Might be a coincidence but for the first time last night, my son's sleep projector[0] didn't stop after 1h like it does normally.

I guess this could be related to it? (we are in Montreal)

I doubt these toys are protected from those kinds of events.

I remember asking you for this, so Thank you so much! It works quite well from what I can see.

Small UI issue: on Desktop, the left sidebar should be scrollable, because now on Firefox I can't reach the "Language" menu item in the search results view, unless I zoom-out.

> there's this trend of purego implementations which usually aim towards zero dependencies besides the stdlib and golang.org/x.

I'm interested in knowing whether there's something intrinsic to Go that encourages such a culture.

IMO, it might be due to the fact that Go mod came rather late in the game, while NPM was introduced near the beginning of NodeJS. But it might be more related to Go's target audience being more low-level, where such tools are less ubiquitous?

It's just a troll (although not valid in this context) counter-argument to the saying above.
