While I've only done it very few times...whenever i have set up old school things, the challenge is ALWAYS that i end up being alone - with no one to play with said stuff. So, the initial fun always wears off. But, I'm glad that y

Not sure if what you implemented was the legacy style of finger or the newer webfinger...but the indieweb community certainly uses (or used to use?) webfinger for discovery. See: https://indieweb.org/WebFinger

Today I learned! I hadn't heard of the ISC license. I've heard of GPL, Apache, MIT, and other common ones, but not USC until now. Thanks!

Most definitely! Or, worse: detour-ification? Or, the potentially horrible: encrash-ification? I have only played with OSM...and, honestly, I'm not going to complain if the ads are at a reasonable volume/quantity, and if they&#x2

Good point! I was only thinking from the client side/perspective, and not server side. :-)

@tracker1 If i'm not mistaken i think thunderbird and other email clients who support conventional maildir often include a local db (such as sqlite) whose purpose tends to be mostly for helping indexing content to ease some aspects of

I think the phrase you might be thinking of is as follows: "Hey, that's a nice account ya got there...Be a shame if something were to happen to it!" ;-)

@redbell If you do go into a profession having to do with "charity" - what is more often referred to as non-profit (or not-for-profit) - please go in with open eyes. I don't want to dissuade you from looking into such careers

Hi @Fizzadar and congrats on making this and getting it out the door; kudos! As you craft your "Why this and not Ansible" content, you might actually state clearly what you already noted on the Performance page, namely: "One

I've never worked for AOL nor yahoo so I have only an outsider view...and I'm sure to a degree you're not wrong. But still, these Apollo guys are just another level of value extraction.

My sympathies, and I certainly hope you are not negatively impacted by their crappy decisions!

I used to work for a company owned by Apollo - if its the one i'm thinking of...and if so then "corporate raider from the 80s" is putting things mildly. Those guys really were the type to squeeze every ounce of value of any o

I'd say it lives somewhere between curl and postman....that is, more than curl since it seems interactive to me, but not as "feature-visible" as say postman. Sort of like a REPL but with a TUI. It does seem pretty neat though

Would you kindly clarify? Did you mean Xterm?

I suppose its a bit of several reasons: for sure taste, but also features, performance, etc. Its a GUI-based text editor, and not a big full-fledged IDE like VSCode. In my opinion, it pretty much follows the KDE philosophy (that I'll p
