I didn't remember you can actually build a structure without putting it on concrete slabs.

Anyways, It's a marvellous work of love.

What I was thinking, too. But the description of the design process by OP was interesting to read.
Well... maybe... but US is backing them so... what's your point?

Happy 2026 from Venice, Italy!
This doesn't allow to add events nor it stores anything, it's just to print, right? Thanks all the same!
If you look at the traffic, it doesn't send anything (I could test) to its server, and there are entries in browser's local storage.
Wonderful. I wish there was the possibility to sync data among browsers, but that would probably defy the whole purpose of this. Is there a repository?

I implemented something similar as a caddy module, then I realized that if I was connected to a public wifi network I was actually authorizing the whole bunch of people that were connected to it with me. How do you avoid this, or is it just not important?

Yep, sure. MEPs are in european parliament, anyway.
The first and the last two positive comments are from physicists…? And: if it explains something the other theory does not, maybe it’s worth considering, and applying the scientific method to. It may be bulls**, it may be that some pieces of it have merit, this is how science works. I think.

Not even an AI, there are simpler ways. But as an italian, I will be in the pitchforks-armed horrified mob if this will be proposed. Not a chance.
I’ve been self-hosting it for three months now, and I am happy. I came from Joplin; I lost the offline access, but it’s much more “expressive” and nice, so to speak. I don’t miss any other feature, even in the pro version. Doesn’t depend on other docker containers, I just used authelia for auth, and while it uses its own file format I backup the data volume and it’s possible to export manually in simple markdown. The web UI is responsive for mobile use and yes, I am happy. Fits my case better than the others.
Re:Lessons in Mannerism at the Palazzo Del Te on Sunday August 25, 2024 @10:39AM (#41347618)
I wonder why the error in nomenclature… it’s Palazzo Te, from the name of the islet, but even English Wikipedia gives “palazzo del te”, that would mean “of the tea”. Very nice place nevertheless.

Exactly! What does this thing do?
Just the right time. I’m travelling now to go and deploy a software system I wrote for a NGO, at their place, for free. I am anonymous here so I am not bragging or such: I know many people doing the same, it’s a form of voluntary work, it benefits them, I know how to do it, and I am having fun. Everyone wins.

Re:Ask HN: Have you used SQLite as a primary database? on Tuesday April 26, 2022 @02:20AM (#31164575)
I am using sqlite where a simple persistence layer is needed, both as the sole in the project or along with a full-fledged database. There are many such projects, once you realize that a database is just an abstraction; for example, for caching in a larger project, or to store results for a subsection of the project. But of course also for smaller, standalone projects.

Also, take a look at ws4sqlite (https://germ.gitbook.io/ws4sqlite/) for a middle ground between SQLite (embedded) and rqlite/dqlite: it's "normal" sqlite addressable via web services. May be useful in some scenarios.

I use the rather excellent (IMHO) Axentix CSS framework, and it has a few (optional) *morphisms. Worth a try, they are quite different.

Re:Ws4sqlite: Query SQLite via HTTP on Saturday March 12, 2022 @04:05AM (#30650096)
Sorry, forgot to comment: SQLite is currently 3.38.0, see https://github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3/blob/master/sqlite3-bind... I don't package it directly, but via the go bindings by mattn (go-sqlite3).

Thanks a lot!
Re:Ws4sqlite: Query SQLite via HTTP on Friday March 11, 2022 @01:11PM (#30643707)
thanks for your comments, really interesting. I'll come back to this post for ideas ;-). I like the precondition, maybe I'd like to structure it so that it passes when 1+ rows are returned and fails if 0 rows... should be equivalent and doesn't make any assumption on rows _and_ columns being there... but I'll think about it. Thank you again!
Re:Ws4sqlite: Query SQLite via HTTP on Friday March 11, 2022 @10:53AM (#30641362)
Hi! It doesn't add much to what SQLite allows. It's allowed if database is set as read only and you don't opt-out of default WAL mode; if not, the transactions are serialized. Even so, you rarely notice it, because SQLite is quite fast.

Concurrency at the HTTP layer is permitted, though. Basically what is done is to set 1 max connection on the connection pool.
