This is a tool I use pretty regularly. On most sites I use, I automate something. Since I don't like to keep two versions of the code (plain and in bookmarklet form), I wrote this editor to convert the code in both directions. You can

Looking around his page, I see some interesting aspects on his atom page: https://daverupert.com/atom.xml First, he sends it with a "content-type: application/xml" header. In contrast to most sites that send

Did they read and write all the data a filesystem handles? Off the top of my head, the typical filesystem stores: - content - creation time - modification time - last access time - read/write/execute permissi

I wished everyone who Tweets would also post to the Fediverse. Because fediverse nodes like Mastodon support RSS out of the box. Twitter is my only news source that I cannot consume via RSS. So if you publish something on Twitter, you miss

I have never seen a terminal solution that allows to have the terminal in fullscreen mode and still have a way to have a user defined writing area which can be resized on the fly. I have experimented with various distraction free vim plugin

Let's hope Firefox starts to support the File System Access API soon. For me, it is the last missing piece to make web apps as comfortable as native apps. I use a lot of web apps I fine-tuned exactly to my liking. I do all my writing i

Interesting. They set up a seperate service for it. I am hoping that companies will do a more "natural" implementation of ActivityPub. By simply making their existing services talk the protocol. Then you could follow Medium author

It's surprising that it's possible to produce electricity at home for a lower cost than the wholesale price. I can't think of any other commodity for which this is possible. You couldn't make your own steel, bread or pri

If you write the python command by hand and are aware of the issue, you can certainly mitigate it. But if some shellscript you run internally uses some Python via "python -m" or "python -c" running that shellscript is al

I had the same idea (to sort social media posts on a chart by time and points) in 2014. I called it "News 2D" at that time: https://www.gibney.org/news_2d My Show HN was even similarly named. "Your Hacker New

Yes, I think every use of "python" without a filename is dangerous because it will make python look in the current dir for imports. The tricky thing is that the python call might be somewhere in a shellscript you use. The issue ca

if some quirky format hasn't taken off over a decade after introduction, it's not worth implementing. Like this hypertext thing, which was introduced in the 60s and still not used much in the 70s: https:/&#

Great! When I saw "Prerequisites: Something that can run Docker/OCI images" in the documentation, my interpretation was that containers are needed. It also says "You need to run at least two copies of the Docker image&qu

Nice to see a Python/Django implementation of ActivityPub. Having a nice, lean implementation of ActivityPub that I can customize to my liking is the only thing that keeps me from using the Fediverse more regularly. So I am watching th

Can you elaborate on how "using containers" gives you a running Django instance? Do you mean using a premade Docker image that comes with Django installed and configured?

How would you replace the line apt install -y python3-django with "a venv and the last lts of django from pypi"? I would be curious to see which lines you replace this with and if the script runs the same afterwards. Pers
