This looks great! I'd also like to know some more details. Is this akin to archive.org, or more akin to archive.today? Those have different use cases. I'd like more information than is present in the FAQ, for example, will this ar

That's fair. My server setup is very small (pi with a harddrive) so I'm deleting stuff I don't watch anymore after it's seeded. And it is a hassle to set up. However I've also found now that it is setup, it takes ba

I don't know either. Since the alternative interpretation is a contradiction in terms, you'd think this name would cover the intended meaning. Maybe something like "unknown length tuple"? chatgpt suggested "arbitrar

I think they've interpreted "variable length tuple" as "a tuple whose length can change", not "a tuple whose length could be one of multiple options". The former is of course not possible with tuples being

In Germany the speed limit is frequently much lower that that, and driving faster than about 80 mph (130 kmph, called richtgeschwindigkeit) incurs increased liability even on the autobahn without any speed limits. In my experience not many

I've developed in .NET, I've even worked with a large .NET monolith ( > 100 devs). Even in that circumstance while visual studio was installed by default, most devs used vs code. It's not just them young ones anymore.
