You get to pay billionaires to watch millionaires play a kid’s game.

I’ve been doing home networking for many years now and the public Domain + Cloudflare DNS + Let’s Encrypt is the easiest it’s ever been.

There is really no reason to use self-signed anymore. I use Let’s Encrypt even for 10.0.0.0/8 addresses.

Our phones back then were actual potatoes and we wore them next to the turnip on our belt, as was the fashion back then.

I think that’s wishful thinking. The vast majority of people simply don’t give a shit. While the enshittification of Windows continues, Linux numbers will slowly go up. But I’ll be quite surprised if I see it go over some significant margin like, say, 25% during my lifetime.

I am so old that I worked with SGML. Compared to that, XML is a lovely language. And sometimes I still miss writing XSLT to quickly transform some XML documents. These days you can do similar things with JSON, of course. But it’s not as easy and standardized as the XML tooling.

I remember the time when YAML meant Yet Another Markup Language.

To paraphrase: There are two kinds of markup languages. Those that people complain about and those that nobody uses.

There is no silver bullet that will work perfectly for all use cases and we also don’t want to use 100 different tools. So people use things that aren’t perfect. But they’re good enough. I don’t think YAML is perfect and I still use it, because people know it and there are tons of tools already available.

Thanks, I’ll take a look. These days Inoreader also shows only the summary, making it useless for me.

I know that. But RSS is like 95% used for news feeds and that’s what I’m talking about. The way RSS is overwhelmingly used is making the whole thing useless (to me).

That would be nice. I have implemented this in the past but never once encountered an API that used it.

For RSS I honestly don’t see a point, at least for me. What’s the use for having update feeds in a unified format when I still have to go to each fucking site to view the full text? I completely see the point of RSS when all I need is in the feed. But I hate going from different UI to different UI to get the full content. I want something like inoreader.com for self-hosting.

Well, it is based on a comic and that over-the-top personality is just his deal. You don’t have to like him and it’s completely fine to despise him. Not everybody has to like everything. And you are correct, he remains a cocky shit. But he does have redeeming qualities and ultimately makes a huge sacrifice. So there’s also a point in people liking him.

Your basic argument seems to be that protagonists should not have character development that involves them realizing what a piece of shit they are and then change? How boring.

Yeah, the jQuery part also surprised me. But I guess he’s been using it for years and why bother switching when it would cost momentum?

It supports downloading playlists on some websites and also supports reading a file with URLs.

Mitsubishi makes everything from pens to nuclear power plants.

Isn’t that just a reply and not am answer?
