martinskou··on Go Fork
Go fork with new throw operator error handling.
martinskou··on I couldn't find a free, no-login, no-AI checklist app–so I built one
Idea: - Local data so I can access my CL without network. - Templates. Start CL from predefined template. - History. Which templates completed when. - Hierarchical items. - Share or export/import. - Logic engine. Some items might not be relevant in some scenarios.
martinskou··on Microsoft is failing to deliver emails that mention newclimate.org
Getting support for something like this at Microsoft is impossible. They don't care at all. They will reply with standard responses from some supporter without any access or knowledge of the inner working of the system.

I do understand the ideer of letting a large IT organisation handle you email. Working email is a high priority, if not Microsoft or Google can make it work, who can?

But as soon as there are any problems a little out of the ordinary, its clear that choosing something like Microsoft or Google is a really bad idear. It's not possible communicate with anyone who know anything.

As more and more are moving their solutions to Microsoft and Google, they will be in a position to strangle any smaller providers.

They are a thread to the free internet!

martinskou··on How to build a personal webpage from scratch
Statis is nice. But what about intra-site search? And form to email? Is there a best practice for this?
martinskou··on The Webb Space Telescope’s profound data challenges
Didn’t JWST use some kind of grivitational breaking to stop at the LGPoint? A manned mission would require much more fuel to shorten the time of the trip and fuel for returning.
martinskou··on Wp-SQLite: WordPress running on an SQLite database
I host quite a lot and the size is around 40-80 MB for presentation sites. Shops are around 100-300 MB. So a nice fit for SQLite. Would be a really nice options, but it should be part of the normal WP distribution.

martinskou··on Ask HN: Best way to host a website for 500 years?
My bet is that you only chance is making it a family history site. And by that I mean that each generation of your future family must contribute their story and at the same time update the site to a modern solution.

The base layer could be text files and image, even though jpeg might not exists in 200 year some other format does.

But you must leave it up to you grandchildren to update the solution to modern formats. Maybe set some inheritance up to support this.

martinskou··on A $5 Programmable Tiny Webserver the Size of a Jump Drive
Thats what I call a small webserver!
martinskou··on Google’s top search result is Google
Search is essential infrastructure for the internet and should not be monopolized.

It should be free, uncluttered, distributed and transparent.

The problem is not Google, its the lack of good alternatives, only DDG really.
