RedbeanPHP has been a lifesaver for me.

https://redbeanphp.com/index.php

So easy to set-up and use. Lots of built in PHP security.

Covers 99% of my need. Allows me to use native SQL to cover the remaining 1%.

> so as long as you have words around the URLs that you'd be likely to search for you're good.

This is key.

If you didn't choose the right words, it could be lost forever.

I gave lots of tools a go. Really really tried. Logseq was one of them. Eventually, it had too many features I didn't need, and needed me to be too careful about how I input text.

I've settled on using about 200 plain text notes based on different subjects. And I use my bookmarks as a knowledge graph.

What I am waiting for is a killer-app bookmark manager with very powerful search, and tagging. Maybe some way to import into a tool like Logseq. FLOSS of course.

Is there anything like this for MySQL/MariaDB?

Agreed. A way I do it is to take a picture of a page, and then use my phone's image editor to add the annotation directly to the photo.

The best route, IMHO, would have been for Rossi to credit blog-author as a co-author. Win-win.

If anyone has any experience with Docker-Mailserver, please share. I'm exploring exiting Gmail.

Unbelievable (to me) that they allowed this highway to be constructed: https://imgur.com/pYdShSA

However, I couldn't find this signature:

HM7vpPSUbNsfDHRX6gv8xxWcVNHEc/3pOk0YrVehaGoUdbWizznfzOdELkLd1EjSXsW1oE5vHAkNAPzrAVzhuoI=

... anywhere on the blockchain:

https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/search?search=HM7vpPSUbN...

Why not?

Update: I get it now. It doesn't have to have been on the blockchain. It's just a message that was signed with a private key, and...., using Hal Finney's public key (wallet address), the message, and the message signature, we can confirm that it was signed by Hal Finney's private key.

Could someone please clarify the connection between the wallet:

1Q2TWHE3GMdB6BZKafqwxXtWAWgFt5Jvm3

And the signature:

HM7vpPSUbNsfDHRX6gv8xxWcVNHEc/3pOk0YrVehaGoUdbWizznfzOdELkLd1EjSXsW1oE5vHAkNAPzrAVzhuoI=

how do we know that the two are connected? (I'm guessing one of them hashes to the other.)

One of the greatest strengths that both China and India have is that the West will never understand them.

The West will think they understand them. They will assume they understand them. They will be sure they understand them. But they will never understand them.

Hence the implication in the headline (well-written headline, by the way), that if nobody else uses it, India is wasting its time.

The same people said about UPI (Modi's digital payments push):

- hardly anyone has cellphones in India

- it'll take years to train India's illiterate masses how to use an app on a phone

India now has 850 million cellphone users. And the government is creating incentives to put one in every hand.

UPI now conducts more digital payments than China or USA (I've heard that it handles more than both combined, but I don't want to make that claim without a reference, and am feeling too lazy to look for one right now).

This alone is going to be a huge driver of India's economy going forward.

Interesting how globalism works.

Today, lots of U.S. State Dept officials will be calling up pet editors (worldwide) to talk about Ghana.

Today, lots of editors will be looking up maps to see where Ghana is located. And reading the Wikipedia entries on Ghana, its economy, and its ruling elite.

Today, lots of news editors will be calling up their pet journalists today to seed negative articles about Ghana, its economy, and its ruling elite.

I need a clarification please: was Z-Library a commercial service?

Can you imagine complaining about being fired from a company after publicly declaring that you were abandoning its product and that you preferred their competitor's product?

IYKYK.

Twitter employee on October 21: "Slowly making the migration to Mastodon"

Same Twitter employee today (November 4): furiously posting on Twitter about having gotten fired from Twitter.

Karma?

Two anecdotes from me (based in USA).

1) India's IRS still owes me tax-refund from 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001. I gave up trying to recoup long ago.

2) I inherited an inheritance in India from someone passing away (who died without a will). A family member managed to have everything put in their name.

Mindboggling.

Well he is a "Prince". Of a non-existent Kingdom. So he cannot be wrong, can he?

I wish the "experts" were also sounding alarms about required face-scanning when I am trying to board an airplane in the West?

Yes. Please.

It's crazy that the Indus Valley script, the peak-fruit of a civilization, was completely lost. Shaking my head.

A crazy thing happened to me on a recent trip to Mexico city. I thought my AT&T mobile plan covered Mexico, but after 2 days it stopped working. So I tried to log into my account online with AT&T. It would keep redirecting me to the Mexico AT&T website instead of the US website. The first time I realized I needed a VPN.

I really liked the old model where Class Components were used when there was state, and function components were used when there was no state.

Hooks have always seemed so weird. And turns out it's the same for many others.

I've never used TypeScript, and your comment has me intrigued. Please clarify something:

As I understand it:

1. TypeScript is a language (super-set of JS).

2. Code completion is a feature of an IDE or editor.

So how does this language enforce code completion? Or is this something in VSCode? If I were using Notepad++ to code, it won't have code completion, correct? Thanks.

Not seeing it? You must be an alien then ;-)

Is it possible to continue coding in some early version of React that only had class components?

Has anyone branched that into its own thing yet?

2FA is becoming a huge problem.

One day, I unintentionally left my phone home. At work I was unable to log into my Google account without my phone.

What a clusterf**k.

(And I never opted for 2FA. It was forced on me by Google).

If anyone wants to use my case to sue the local (city / county) or state or federal government, they are welcome.

I see another issue worth suing the city / county of Monterey for:

- prefab housing (such as Boxabl) is banned.

Paging Peter Thiel.

This is a potential long term solution to Cali's water problems.

It's certainly worth trying.

Eventually.

In general, if you won't miss the money, I'd say go ahead and buy it. Are you familiar with Nassim Taleb or Mohnish Pabrai? If you are, this is one of those low downside, high upside potential (Taleb) or Heads I win, Tails I don't lose much (Pabrai) situations.

- land in Monterey is currently cheap (because of the water meter moratorium)

- there's a mostly-complete project that will make adequate water capacity available soon [1]

- there's a not-yet-fully-approved project that will make lots more water available [2]

- a well-connected insider has told me that water will be available within the next 2.5 years

- you can extract cash up to 50% of your investment value via a HELOC

- if you do get a water meter at some point, your investment will bag 6x to 10x instantly

- it's nice for my ego to get mailers from Sotheby's International Realty asking me if I want to sell my house (they're sending these mailers to everyone, even to people such as myself who don't have an actual house on their land)

- I'm serious about engineering a class-action lawsuit against them to not only issue water meters, but to also allow prefab housing (currently banned) such as Boxabl

- lastly, just between you and me: Monterey is easily a top-5 location in the USA, if not the world. on. every. metric. there's limited land. and no more land is ever going to be produced. grab it while you still can.
