Last time I checked quicklisp also didn’t support https and doesn’t do any signature checking.

The problem with methods like this is that there is no priority and rewards you for doing tasks that don’t actually matter. It’s better to do one really important thing per day than 10 meaningless tasks.

Render to html and then use webkit2pdf which will give you a pdf that looks exactly like the html shown in chrome. This is a million times easier than working with PDF libraries

I always think of Randal shwartz when I think of people saying, “I’m an X language programmer”. You don’t want to be the last guy on earth that’s the expert in a dead language.

I just switched off of ledger because multiple accountants and tax preparers didn’t know what to do with it even if I hand generated profit and loss reports.

Quickbooks online has gotten pretty good. I honestly wouldn’t recommend these plain text tools anymore. Quickbooks has become almost a standard.

I did something similar but not open source: centrallogging.com it is surprising how SQLite can scale for smallish amounts of logs (1tb)

It is called 2 factor or multi-factor authentication. It should be something you know (password) and something you have (device). Storing totp with your password defeats the entire point of it.

Congrats on launching and building something. Unfortunately I think this is very bad for security. We have seen numerous accounts take overs from iMessage and sms based 2fa. This makes it even easier. I also don’t understand why password managers are starting to support storing totp. It is a terrible idea.

My home IP doesn’t change much so I just open ssh port only to my own IP. If I travel I’ll add another IP if I need to ssh in. I don’t get locked out because I use VPS or cloud provider firewall that can be changed through console after auth/MFA. This way SSH is never exposed to the wider internet.

I’m still using if err == something. I’ve never bothered to use error.Is. Looks like another reason to avoid

This “SQLite isn’t good for production” mentality really needs to die. It’s a myth.

I thought we all quit when they disabled API access and ruined Apollo. People are still using Reddit?

If their latest “REST” API is an indication of their tech you don’t want to work there anyways.

I clicked the comments section hoping to see sivers response because I remember him mentioning it before. I’m glad I did.

Use virtual credit cards and privacy.com. It really helps with peace of mind that you can really have a free trial and not worry about it.
