The original Dropbox demo[1] is great.

My favourite bit was where half of HackerNews shat all over the idea.

That's not even true. While it's true the infamous "You can just build it yourself with X & Y" probably spawned from there, the first submission about Dropbox actually has a lot of positive comments about the idea. There was way less than half of them being critical to the idea (not sure "critical" is even the right word, maybe "suggesting alternative approaches for some" is better).

Spring Boot

This has a number of advantages over GPG. In general, it provides better default security without having to fumble to pick the right options with GPG.

For example:

In order to get sender authentication in GPG, you have to sign the message. GPG doesn't do this by default when encrypting a message, but you can choose to add a signature. But even if you do sign the message, GPG provides non-repudiation which means that you can no longer deny that you sent the message. Kestrel provides sender authentication while preserving deniability.

There are a number of other strong security guarantees that are provided by Kestrel's use of the noise protocol. There is more info on some of those properties here [1]

If your app is in a Docker container, you need to have some way to mount a persistent volume for the database. AWS Fargate and fly.io both offer storage volumes.

C89 was 32 years ago, so I think saying 30+ years is fair.

Some of us learned C off of the original K&R book.

It will install the .deb because they don’t have snap in Pop OS.

He mentioned on a podcast that he even uses his own text editor.

This reminds me of Chuck Moore (inventor of Forth). He designs his own CPUs, using his own CAD package, written in the programming language he invented!

Wow! Do you remember which podcast? Now I am interested in this interview!

Oh? What podcast?

I tried Jekyll and hated it. I didn’t find a static site generator I liked until I found Ivy.

I use it for all my sites now.

This also crashed firefox on Linux for me.

I also experience crashes from time to time. The project is compiled into webassembly(wasm), and I think the wasm has yet to be tested more with bigger code base.

Might be that the version of firefox I was using (since it's a lab machine) is outdated. Wasm is right now bleeding edge technology, so it's going to be a bit of a weird side for a while as machines are updated for compatibility

Yeah, I'm guessing that too. When I load the page in firefox my new ubuntu 16 machine randomly freezes, had to reset and update the drivers suspecting it was some hardware/driver issue. However, chrome is working pretty well.
