In addition to other advice you could also use SSH over Wireguard. Wireguard basically makes the open port invisible. If you don’t provide the proper key upfront you get no response. To an attacker the port might as well be closed.
Here’s at least one article on the subject: https://rair.dev/wireguard-ssh/
Cool idea! AFAIK emails are just sent as text but the client renders them when you read them. Theoretically it wouldn’t be hard to send markdown and add a header that indicates the body is markdown. Hard part is integrating support into the client. Since HTML is more verbose than markdown, and you can often mix markdown and HTML, this could actually lead to space and data savings!
I’d say it’s the tooling that sucks more than anything. I’ve had installations fail because of bad caches (and resolved it by doing things NPM advised me not to do), installations that take forever and seem stuck on one dependency, conflicts with ES and Common modules, node_modules folders that dwarf other folders in size, nobody makes proper use of devDependencies, some odd dependencies on Java or Python, and so on. I think the ease of learning JS has done it a disservice as you get millions of devs contributing but not all are trained as devs or computer scientists and you get a flood of libraries that all do the same thing and often even reproduce built-in functionality.
I really do enjoy coding in it more than any other language but when it comes time to run or build is when my rage kicks in.
Wait… what were we talking about? Oh, yeah.
Shitty web apps aren’t really the fault of the underlying tech. This is a problem of design and I don’t think the programming language really has much of an effect on the usability.
Hoping it remains viable for a long time without updates. Syncing my KeePass database is really key for me. I need to fluidly add and read passwords from at least 3 devices.
Australia yes. Austria probably not.
