If you want everything in one place, and you're using email already, then it sounds like you want one of the various rss2email projects. Feed entries then become emails which sit in your inbox&#x…

Run "rss2email" then your API becomes IMAP/POP3?

I once implemented something like forth, in a tutorial-based fashion based on a thread I found on hacker news: https://github.com/skx/foth As per the original post this would be …

And by contrast it is America which which has the civil forfeiture practices.

My immediate question is around security. If the nethack binary is setuid(root), setgid(games), or similar, are privileges dropped before the exec("mail-command") happens? We've seen a…

I found that with CGI::Application, and similar Perl modules you get the facilities of the modern stuff, as well as the portability and simplicity of a simple index.cgi script. Two things I think Perl…

Of course you did. I've been submitting GDPR subject information requests to companies that spam me - and most of them ignore me. The ones that do take the time to reply usually say "We&#x…

Exciting times! I have to say I grew cucumbers for the first time last year, and they were surprisingly good. Otherwise the only other thing that comes to mind immediately is Strawberries, which are …

Indeed, the point there as you don't need a planter. Literally just a plastic bag of soil bought from a hardware/gardening store. Of course the "new soil" would be full of nutrien…

Off-topic but I have to say that potatoes are incredibly easy to grow, and doing so is very worthwhile. I have a small planter on my balcony at the moment which is thriving with leaves, and in a few w…

MAL, the original "make a lisp", is a bit terse on details but gives you freedom to use different languages, and yet still provide a rough blueprint: https://github.com/kanak…

Flagged because the moment you start linking to producthunt your submission looks like it is beggng for upvotes and "reach" and not being shared with genuine intent. Plus of course producthu…

Speaking personally I find that I always use awk for printing (numbered) fields in shell-scripts, and when typing quick ad-hoc commands at the prompt. The main reason for this is that it's easy t…

Last night two cars tried to drive in front of a tram, on my ride to the Kallio block party. So while driving is generally calm, and I'm impressed at how often drives stop for the zebra-crossin…

Back in the day CP/M had a feature which allowed you to batch up commands, you'd write a "FOO.SUB" file, then run "SUBMIT FOO". There was a neat binary named "SLASH.…

There is an implementation for neovim, and some "viewer" applicatrions for android, etc: https://orgmode.org/tools.html Basics are easy to replicate, but one of the reasons …

First of all "emacs" rather than "eMacs". But to answer your main question, markdown is used for writing text which can then be converted to HTML, PDF, etc, etc. It's used ju…

Same story here, using Borg with a Hetzner storage box to give me offsite backups. Cheap, reliable, and almost trouble-free.

I guess that makes sense, unless you're single. LinkedIn is the new tinder.

Some sites seem to really struggle with recommendations - after looking at 20+ washing machines, over a period of weeks, I bought one recently. I'm a normal adult and now I will probably not even…

It is not necessary to compile a program, in the general case, before executing it. Many programming languages parse their program to an AST then walk that AST interpretting as they go. But for BASIC…

Finnish is a good example of a language where online translations tend to be .. subpar.

I live in Finland, and while it is not universal it is extremely common for IT-companies to have a working-language of English. The country is small and hires both immigrants, and people who specifica…

That reminds me of the Click of Death, which plagued the Iomega zip/jazz drives https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Click_of_death …

At that kinda age I opened up google-docs, set the browser to full-screen, increased the font-size and let the child "type" He loved writing "adsdfdsfjkldf", and sometimes he'…

Hey, you sass that hoopy nosioptar? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is.

Maybe that's the difference, but yes I was.

In my case, as a British citizen married to a European living outside the UK, I had way fewer requests/demands for documentation. All I needed to do was submit my own details, and a copy of both …
