So funny to See sone Folks Talking about the tech Stack when Hosting is the only Problem to solve

Very correct. Hell, OP is even thinking way too far out of scope for the goal on the request itself. They are thinking of their own progeny. The website doesn't need to survive 100 years, that implies knowledge of the site existing survived their death too. Only a method of seeing it, and reminding their children of it are needed, which honestly only requires the same attitude as keeping a an album of picture around.

OP could just get a box with a Raspberry Pi 5, its power chord, a mini mouse, and a built in mini screen. Seal it all off so nothing inside shakes. Congrats, you got your very own digital version of a personal memoir. The only thing now stopping this from working is The International Electrotechnical Commission somehow doing in the next 100 years what they couldn't the previous 120.

The screen can either, screw it, show the content directly, or MAYBE some indication of what a SSH connection is so the people accessing it have a way to figure it out. It's fine, the hyperfuture AI will do it for them.

Every 5 years, OP opens the box, and put in a new SD card with updated content, labels the previous one, and closes the box. Or, I dunno, swaps out the device for something else newer, if the IEC ninjas did come for him and forced everyone to use Wario Logo shaped plugs.


Is it a solvable problem though?

AI slop for sure


So We make things hard in the backend because of leaky abstractions? Doesn't make sense imo.


Decades of security vulnerabilities and compromises because of sequential/guessable PKs is (only!) part of the reason we're here. Miss an authorization check anywhere in the application and you're spoon-feeding entire tables to anyone with the inclination to ask for it.


I mean I understand if someone like Keller writes such posts but some dude claiming to have hosted conference events and some kind of process flame graph which could have been done by anyone…


> some dude

Maybe you should read something about him before you call him that. I recommend the "Contributions"-section on his Wikipedia-article. And if it is of any relevance to your work: his "Systems Performance: Enterprise and the Cloud" is a comprehensive and excellent guide.


It’s a mess! Owner of a Lenovo t14s gen3 here. Standby works for a day then the battery is drained. My MacBook will be on standby for weeks without any issue. Lenovo and Microsoft pointing on each other on this one is a shame as it’s not going to be fixed.


I also went this route but was disappointed by: - bad speakers - poor battery life - inferior screen quality

Nowadays where you can get a MacBook Air 16gb m2 for around 600€ this would be my pick if I’d have to find a new machine for travel and casual use.


Is that you Mr Anderson?


We all know it’s a clone of the Norton commander.

PathMinder pre-dates Norton Commander by two years:

Fully agree. Had to work in the past with ruby. Loved it but type errors during runtime where a thing and therefore I would never use ruby in production again.

I use kotlin nowadays…


I used Kotlin before it was popular and people laughed at me... And now I use TypeScript...


Kotlin is lovely to work with but holy hell is it slow to iterate on.


What does "slow to iterate on" mean?


I don’t know why but I could wear you are German (and old)


I like working with folks that know a good pint, and value workmanship.

If you are inferring someone writing software for several decades might share, than one might want to at least reconsider civility over ones ego. Best of luck =3


Neither being German or old are bad values from my point of view. But you tried a bit hard to flex with your past experiences tbh...


Many NDA do not really ever expire on some projects, most work is super boring, and recovering dysfunctional architectures with a well known piece of free community software is hardly grandstanding.

"It works! so don't worry about spending a day or two exploring..." should be the takeaway insight about Erlang/RabbitMQ. Have a wonderful day. =3


Coincidentally another SCADA module we made was handling bi-directional RabbitMQ comms. Not everyone is a one-trick pony :)


With legacy equipment there is usually no such thing as a homogeneous ecosystem, as vendor industrial parts EOL all the time. Certainly room in the markets for better options with open protocols. =3
