TL;DR Someone targeted me in an attempt to run arbitrary code on my laptop. I suspect in an attempt to gain access to my Github account and/or other REVSYS client related access since I have a metric fuck ton of it.

Too bad the URL was automatically converted to Punycode. Hope this works: https://xn--rtj.tsak.dev (nope)

Alternatively, https://mdash.tsak.dev works as well.

Second that. Our garage is full of their 50L boxes with the XL lid, perfectly fitting those industrial shelves. Very versatile and long lasting. Even after nearly ten years, they look pretty much the same, and we live in harsh climate near the coast.

But aren't those the same startups that think they need to run on AWS EKS instead of using a single cheap server? The cheapest used Hetzner server currently is €39.24 / month:

- Intel Core i7-6700 - 32 GB - 2 x 480 GB Datacenter SSD - 1 GB/s - 20 TB traffic

Their VPS are even cheaper. And you can run a lot on this.

Thank you for your thought experiment. As I was slowly typing a response into the HN response form, I had a feeling that my thoughts on this would be better suited as a blog post:

New comment by tsak in "Perl's decline was cultural"

tsak — Sat, 06 Dec 2025 18:31:00 +0000

Before I eventually switched to PHP, I ended up writing multiple CMS-like solutions that would run via `cgi-bin` but write contents to the webroot (what we would now call a static site generator). As I was quite limited with the standard shared hosting at the time, I ended up inventing my own single file database format (it was a simple text file) to keep state. It worked quite beautifully and kept me afloat for the first few years of my life as a web developer around the early 2000s.

I was aware of ActivePerl and quite liked Komodo. Thankfully I could keep myself from doing things on Windows/IIS apart from a brief stint writing a single file CMS in ASP.
