Mirroring is probably the most important consideration to me. However, if another hosting system is done, there some other ideas of some possible things to do: - Mirroring tickets/discussions as well as the repository (in both directio

I think that archive links should be made to include a cryptographic hash of the file; this can prevent alteration of content (including of the original file that it is copied from) but also can allow alternative sources of the file to be f

Working with screen readers is not the only possible problem. It is not very good if you disable loading fonts, or if you disable CSS as well, or using a browser that does not load fonts, etc.

I agree that benefits come from fine-grained permissions; however, for the fine permissions of user authentication (and API authentication), I think it would help to use X.509 certificate chains. The certificate can include a extension for

Possibly, to add the anti-discrimination law, one of the other things that is protected against discrimination would be the computers (including kind of computers and lack of computers). Then, they cannot expect you to have a app to get a d

My only use of GitHub Actions specifies permissions that only allow it to write to the issue tracker, so if the program it executes (which is the "gh" program) is malicious then the only damage it can cause is to the issue tracker

I have less than one terabyte of disk space, and less than 10% of the full capacity is in use, so it is closer to being empty. (The hard drives they sell have more capacity than I require.) And, there are files that I do not use (some of wh

I agree with most of what you write, and I think it is good that you mention these details. I also do not use LLM/generative-AI and I do not intend to use LLM/generative-AI, and many of my reasons are like what you have.

It still works for me too (I have no account on Reddit and have no intention to have an account, even if they try to insist), and it is also possible to add .json on the end of the URL for JSON data (although, so far, I only use this featur

I do not like much of the modern decor either, but there are some additional issues. I think that they should not need to put all of the lights inside and outside even in the day time; the window should be enough light from the sun light (s

One thing I have been working on is a implementation of X.509. (I also made my own implementation of DER, which I already use for some things that are unrelated to X.509, such as a game engine, and some other stuff where a structured data f

Super ZZ Zero is one of my projects, which is a game engine written in C with SDL1 (although it may be possible to port it to something that does not use SDL1, too). It is similar to ZZT and MegaZeux. The git repository is: https:/&#x

I also would think that client certificates would help better. Then, you do not need API keys, as well as other benefits, such as the end user can create their own passworded private keys if wanted (without ever sending the password to the

I agree with you. The extensions and plugins should be separated from the rest of the program, like any other extensions, and can be configured and disabled by the end user. Some of the extensions might come with the distribution, but if so

I had thought of that in the past too, and also thought that the additional functions (if needed, which it usually isn't, in my opinion) should be the secondary function and not the primary function.

> By this logic, shouldn't we also use plain HTTP instead of TLS? Better would be to use plain HTTP in addition to TLS, rather than instead of TLS. TLS does have benefits, but if it is optional then it can also be used on computers

I agree; you should allow non-TLS connections as well as TLS. (At least, access that does not require authentication should not require TLS, but should still allow it if that is what the client wants.) If you are concerned about accidental
