  • Cloudflare takes a neutral response in general but are not resistant to law enforcement demands.

    What you can do is to create a cloudflare account on Tor, buy a privacy-focused VPN that supports port forwarding, connect your server to the VPN and point the DNS record to the VPN ip address. And then create a port rewrite rule in cloudflare settings (because port forwarding supported VPNs rarely support lower than 1024 ports). Atleast in this case, law enforcement notices won’t be forwarded to your ISP… still not bulletproof, but good enough for most stuff if you have concerns.






  • I used to be like this too. I thought it would be too mainstream to have a website rather than a natively compiled application running on the computer…

    And then my friend in high school started this thing on his laptop… a website… it was server side rendered… pretty satisfying… Then it took off…

    I think the web can be nice with the right mix. I’m personally not too fan of these pages that are just white if you don’t turn on JavaScript. It’s just a feeling, nothing special. From a business perspective it makes sense, to throw all the rendering to the devices to save cost.


  • Once you discover org mode… you’re not going back.

    I love infinite nested tasks; subtasks, sub subtasks, subsubsubtasks, subsubsubsubaubtasks.

    See check this. You start by creating 3 main points… then you need to give more info to these 3 points, and you can either insert tons of text under it… or create subtasks. Now you figure the subtasks need explanation, again either text or subtasks. Lovely


  • It’s a bit unfortunate. In 2018, I was envisioning a future where people generally would pay using cryptocurrency… because it is a technology that works by design, decentralized… how is this not just the set solution?

    At the time i was selling some used stuff on our national popular marketplace, but nobody wanted to pay me with crypto.

    Now lately it just carries this dark atmosphere of being used for bad and illegal services.

    Me and my close friend would send each other crypto when owning up for stuff like paying the rest of the half of the food when he paid for us both. He lost interest, and we eventually went back to normal stuff.

    Though with the hopefully coming traction of decentralized services like fediverse services, maybe we’ll also then see a new traction of cryptocurrency being an ok option for payment again.











  • Reminds me of a project i stumbled upon the other day using various services like Google drive, Dropbox, cloudflare, discord for simultaneous remote storage. The goal was to use whatever service that has data to upload to, to store content there as a Filesystem.

    I only remember discord being one of the weird ones where they would use base512 (or higher, I couldn’t find the library) to encode the data. The thing with discord, is that you’re limited by characters, and so the best way to store data in a compact way is to take advantage of whatever characters that are supported
