Nice! I always wanted to build an XSLT that parses Markdown and outputs HTML, but was lacking the time. That would elevate your blog framework to a wider audience.

Can you explain why we should this over https://github.com/pkg/errors?

A good internet connection. I had troubles in the past and got a second internet line with LTE. I setup automatic fallback and never had problems since then.
Somebody already developed an obsidian online version? I know that there are plenty but they all use their own database to store the data and not the good old filesystem.
Anyone has an alternative where I can use simple markdown files (in a folder or google drive) as the primary datasource?

I am using obsidian on the Mac, but on the go I have no real solution. (I want to avoid using the obsidian mobile app because it forces you to use Obsidian Sync)

Made a watermark tool to watermark images in the browser, using it whenever I send images to third party:

I rediscovered my small cli tool that prepends a time to each logline: https://github.com/Eun/logtimer

I ran ping very often and needed to see when exactly the connection dropped.

Ah could also be, but the whole sentence was like this:

> Why not just pick one from the Awesome Tunneling? Think broader. Not everyone is a dev…

So I read this as targeting non devs.

I think every other alternative from that list also supports common usable links.

Re:Pgrok – Poor Man’s Ngrok on Sunday March 12, 2023 @01:49PM (#35123487)
It says literally:

> Not everyone is a dev who knows about server operations. For people working as community managers, sales, and PMs, booting up something locally could already be a stretch and requiring them to understand how to set up and fix server problems is a waste of team's productivity.

Re:Pgrok – Poor Man’s Ngrok on Sunday March 12, 2023 @01:04PM (#35122744)
I don’t see a usecase where a non dev should expose some local resource to the internet. These people don’t run local webservers, nor know how they work.

ngrok is a developer tool. I don’t see why marketing a dev tool to non devs is a good idea, maybe somebody can explain?

funnel is still in alpha stage, you have to join the waitlist to be added to the testers, could take a long time…

I am using my own solution. https://github.com/Eun/frwd Costs me nothing when using the free tier of aws/oracle you name it...

Yes, you can just specify different start- and endrunes: https://github.com/Eun/yaegi-template/blob/master/template.g...
Nice seeing going this forward. I built something similar in the past, that can be used as a base for such framework utilizing yaegi (from the creators of traefik): https://github.com/Eun/yaegi-template

Doesn’t work for windows. Installing tooling is also pain.
Re:Act: Run your GitHub Actions locally on Saturday November 26, 2022 @05:24AM (#33751513)
Generally speaking: have one syntax/pipeline that works on GitHub, Gitlab, etc

I think the big problem would be the marketplace, you need to implement your own or make it compatible with the GitHub one

I also struggle with CI vendor lock-in.

Somebody wants to build a serverless- type ci system?

The „Tiny“ versions from NTDEV are very popular. From Tiny7 to Tiny10 everything is available.

Re:What I'd like to see in Go 2.0 on Friday February 04, 2022 @09:00AM (#30206829)
I would like to add proper JSON5 support.

The template problem is a real problem. I used it once and it was pain and moved away instantly. I would vote for go inside go as a template system. So you can effectively write go code.

With the help of yaegi[1] a go templating engine can be build e.g here[2].

Running with the same setup. It’s a perfect solution.

That’s one of the reasons I jailbreaked my phone, to be able to control which app can access which data and when.
