Is there a possibility to export in a web-friendly format? I guess SVG would be it? If I ran quiver in localhost then sharing via a link is not an option.
Maybe check out the https://vlang.io. It might be similar to what you are doing and personally I admire the ideas and decisions the author made so far.
I saw vlang.io a few months ago. Every time I come back to the site, my jaw hits the ground again. I am utterly impressed by Alexander's productivity - it blows me away every time I consider it.
I think V is an impressive language, but it isn't quite geared toward my vision of what a language ought to be.
I am more a Rubyist than a C, Rust, or Go developer, and so my preference is for a higher level language that's a little more pleasant to use and doesn't make me think about some details that I consider "irrelevant". I'm firmly in the "sufficiently smart compiler" camp, and think that I shouldn't have to think about those low level details that only matter for the sake of performance - the compiler ought to handle that for me.
I am working on a blogging platform that does not need any backend (in terms of an app listening for http connections). The overall architecture is an web app that is talking to WebDAV and then pages get build by a static site generator. I use getpelican.com but you can use Hugo or Jekyll based on your preference.
You are right of course. There is still nginx taking care of everything. The point is that you need nothing but nginx/caddy/Apache.
Currently, I don't know any way how to initiate execution of scripts over http server so there is a systemd timer checking changes in files and recompiling the whole site. This has lot of downsides. The easiest would be if the static generator reacts on existence of a specific file - recompiles the site and removes the file afterwards.
I see the author did the same search engine in Go a while ago. So I suppose the project being a side project to learn a new language. Or is there a different reason?
That is a good observation. The author might also need flexible search options at work. In any case, I have some interest in Rust but don’t actively use it. I found reading through the main server.rs file interesting as example code.
I think there are multiple projects that Mark describes. One of the good looking one is https://yunohost.org/#/ for example. I wish the community could join forces, select one solution and make it production ready. Does anyone know about similar projects to yunohost that look promising?
Yunohost is by far the most advanced and has the strongest community. Any help is welcome (especially python devs)
FreedomBox is slowly making progress, but nothing comparable to Yunohost so far.
FreedomBone is a one-person project that actively researches privacy-enabling self-hosting (Tor/I2P) and off-the-grid mesh networking. It's an inspiring project and the blog is full of good stuff : https://blog.freedombone.net/
The quality seems a bit low. There is a similar project based on academic routing protocol Babel and implemented reliably by a professional called Re6st https://re6st.nexedi.com
Re6st indeed is more focused on connectivity than performance because it re-establish connection even when the Chinese great firewall kicks in.
My company uses Chromebooks as primary computers with our own fork of ChromiumOS. Our build excludes Google keys thus hypothetically offers reinforced privacy.
Our fork is called NayuOS ( https://nayuos.nexedi.com ) and is a true system for hackers. It erases user folders on every restart and no extensions are allowed. It is very hard to track and since the Chromebooks are very cheap it is easy to exchange devices often.
It has to be run in Developer Mode thus you have writable /usr/. Chrome Brew is fully functional thanks to that but it is a security hazard.
My company moved everything to cloud so we access everything via browser. It was hard to get used to it but in the end it is a huge time saver. Google went the same direction.
I think there is a hope in free software companies. I am working at one nowadays and we are breaking the law almoust daily and get sued with similar frequency. Now we are installing Lye transmitters into any village which is interested communicating via satelite to bring the internet there. Becoming your own ISP solves the problem right? If we see increase in such behaviour the problem might disappear. Because the future is distributed
