Thank you, I started Godot recently and I'll take a look at Defold as this is the exact thing I am doing - and Godot seems a little unstable with the APIs. Every tutorial I find is for Godot 3, and Godot 4 seems quite changed.

Ah that's a super explanation there, thank you!

Yeah the templating language is not so nice, I sometimes use Jinja instead. Also, I don't like the classic MVC so I have a completely different structure thus validation your point completely :P

If you ever end up in Django land (for some project), checkout Django Ninja for APIs, you'll end up avoiding having these annoying url files and just have a

@api.get("some/api") def some_api(request):

instead. Super simple and useful. I just recently discovered it and I don't know how stable it is but it seems pretty stable so far.

As much as I love Flask (or Bottle) and the Go approach, I find myself in the same boat.

Curious question, why you say Django is mostly anarchy compared to Rails? I haven't used Rails btw.

Unpopular opinion here... If you tread carefully you'll most likely not succeed. I am not American and I know you guys like to sue eachother for putting cats in microwaves and stuff so maybe this is not great opinion to have in America at the current moment.

I would go for it and put a disclaimer, or I would just incorporate in a country where there's no issues with these things.

all this is hard of course to provide good value, but worthwhile.

Twitters' cost is insane right now, I had quite a few ideas for twitter integrations but they would easily cost thousands per month just to access their API.

I looked into https://github.com/d60/twikit - might not be suitable but you can definitely play around with it. Just don't use your official account as I got shadow banned using it unfortunately.

I was thinking of building exactly this type of thing here. This is great and I love the simple/minimalistic styled pages.

Things I was also contemplating to implement you can freely steal:

1. Giving a list of potential interesting investments - these could also be behind paywall.

2. Summarize based on sectors to see where there's downturns coming - again maybe paywall this

3. Connect with news-sites or twitter etc.. to see what is happening and what is the sentiment. This is a lot harder as you'll need to either scrape or pay to get that info.

Best of luck

Facebook found the solution to all these shenanigans

I absolutely love Caddy. Used it for years. Very reliable and so easy to setup once you learn the basics. The documentation is a bit hard to get, but it saved me so much time and energy compared to trying to get letsencrypt working reliable ontop of NGINX.

I don't get it as well, though I think the situation is classical regulatory capture. In other words, the wrong regulation.

I like the style the Czech/German system is doing healthcare. It is public but kinda private. You pay to the government, but you decide where to go so the hospitals/doctors compete for your money. It is very different than the centrally planned Danish or English based where there's basically some person in top that decides everything.

Oh man, I needed this so many times didn't even think of doing it like this. I tried using Selenium and all different external services. Thank you!

Works in chromium as well.

Same here. I just gave up on most of these websites. When I absolutely need to use a website such as for flights, I have a clean chrome browser I spin up.

I ended up on Fedora which seems similar to the "old ubuntu" where things just works. Stability can be a problem as they update quite often.

Wow, thank you - this is exactly what I didn't get. You explained it super well.

I am number 2, and so I guess it wont affect me as long as the fingerprint doesn't change to a malicious server that have taken over an IP.

There's something I am missing here. I sync my servers with rsync, but it is over ssh - is this still vulnerable?

Great article, yeah it is quite sad with these things. Louis Rossman talked extensively on these issues.

By the way, your images go to a weird url for me, maybe it is because it is Brave browser.

For example

https://romanzipp.com/blog/[%7B%22id%22:%22assets::blog//no-...

wow, this year will be interesting

I just died. I guess I am getting old and need to play more strategy games hehe.

I love simple solutions. I am doing something similar-but not so similar. I got tired of Loom and needed something simpler, and I made VideoBackr.com that can record your screen for share directly in the browser. I just made a cronjob to encode/compress the videos once a minute, works like a charm though there's a little delay :)

Very cool, a bit like (total) recall for Windows, except I see you keep the data local ;)

oh, thank you!

I have no idea what you just wrote. Pop a link mate :D

I wanted to read more of the Austrian economics as well. So many things they got right, and so many issues we have in current society because of this.

I know unsolicited advice are not great, but maybe instead of giving github all that free content, you could just pop it on your own domain and then have a lot more control over what's happening.

Love the design! I had a similar idea of this but also not only with travels but with restaurant recommendations.

Real recommendations from your friends.

very cool, I was thinking of making plugins for various platforms as well. How hard is it and do you see good traction?

I am not really using VisualStudio here - just vim :D

this is so cool, how come you ended up making this? You had to do this process yourself?

I have so many great memories of my software just running in Heroku, unfortunately it was so easy to switch inbetween machines, that they could never lower their prices and thus it is just not competitive anymore. It costs way too much for a small website.

I love Python, but it seems to always get more complicated and more things in the core and now backward incompatible changes. Not so good. I love Python and how much I can get done, but I must admit I also love that I know the Go code I have from 7 years ago can run without problems. It is just more stable

It's pretty good combo. I use Alpinejs for the client side interactivty such as modals, but then use htmx for as much as I can that interacts with the backend.

You could be using only htmx or only alpine but the combo is really nice

I love it man, this is great! I used to use mocp but I could never get it to work on Fedora.

This here is even better, I love the minimal approach.

Yeah, I really liked Heroku and I used it for so many years, but it also killed itself kinda. It could never reduce prices as all machines "was the same" and thus a reduction in price meant lose of revenue and now they're just super expensive comparably.

Now I just dump Caddyserver and install things bare metals servers. I avoid all dependencies like the plague

You're probably going to be downvoted to oblivion but I 100% agree with you. It seems like they tried to remove all the complexity, and just made new complexity.
