Some stuff happening in Lebanon with government incentives and whatnot (and an educated but undervalued tech workforce). personally I've left that all behind me but I can probably find people you want to talk to if you want to talk to

+1 original reason i did it was so i can have the LE cert to test a slack bot i was developing (they require webhooks have SSL to do that)

i tend to fire up reverse port forwarding with ssh + special subdomain + ask nginx to proxy to the reverse-forwarded port on that special subdomain to resolve this, obviously you'd still need a static and public ip somewhere, but any s

i'm doing my MSc now at a decent uni, i kind of wish i did my undergrad at a decent one too. oh well.

jeez, what uni is this? I kind of like the sound of it.

not a bad tip, i'll do this for less reputable websites i suppose.

i keep up with highscalability, the ~weekly digests are awesome. I don't know how he keeps up with so much.

problem with that is websites who think they're super smart and believe that + is not a valid character in an email... sometimes it's just the javascript though and you can submit it via manual POST request.

I just started doing the wildcard domain thing last month, I'm happier knowing that I can shut the taps. I get annoyed just knowing that there's spam in my spam list. First time I was on the phone with a customer service rep. afte

Not agreeing with thread OP here, but I would certainly differentiate between "stealing" and "exploiting" (not in a security exploit sense). User data certainly gets exploited on _some_ SaaSs that would otherwise be unex

Oh wow, hello! * blush * Serious (if redundant) question though: on year 34, is backward compatibility out the window? (that said, 33 years is probably enough time to make the standard fairly permanent anyway, so even if the developers deci

partially responded to this on bjt's comment. my original premise for sqlite was that it's in-place on the file (no daemon, etc), until this Ask thread I never knew sqlite had such longevity planned. edit: I don't doubt it ei

Wasn't aware yaml could do this, but in terms of organisational power, basically, my prime example which i've only mentioned at a high level so far would be to record all my travel information, because every time i have to fill ou

thankfully i use git on a daily basis so would be immediately aware of it's obsolescence, sqlite i can't say the same for (yet), so would probably be blind to it slowly losing favour (should that happen). tl;dr: git is not the ris

the lts link posted by dguo summarizes their testing methodology, definitely impressive. When i originally asked this question i knew sqlite was everywhere (used to do android dev) and didn't expect it to (edit: completely) disappear e

everything so far was definitely convincing, but this is the last nail in the coffin, thank you! edit: i was already convinced by all the responses, i'm now peacefully convinced

This is a bit extreme for my use case, but I do agree that while possible, it's also risky - what happens if your basement with the computer floods or similar - where with a data-only strategy you can proliferate it pretty easily.

corruption is unlikely here (famous last words) and if it happens, it should be generally recoverable (data copied over several places and versioned so that accidental corruption can be rolled back)

Never thought about self-documenting the process - that's a good insight. regular backups, like you and pryelluw have mentioned is i guess the ultimate solution on this - probably enforce this with a pre-commit hook so that it's a

oh yeah of course, it was a very theoretical "if i dig up this file in 30 years" - for the most part i access and update these files on the regular and have multiple backups. - but not much will beat stability of a format when thi

OH OH, have you looked in to any such tools? I've been considering writing something jekyll-esque for photo galleries (static, hostable on s3/wherever), or a plugin for jekyll or other static site generator that can do the same (i

you mean it wasn't watered down for the lowest common denominator like the user interfaces of today? edit: to clarify, I do not mean things like accessibility, I mean "beautiful" user interfaces that are frustrating for power
