Thank you, I started Godot recently and I'll take a look at Defold as this is the exact thing I am doing - and Godot seems a little unstable with the APIs. Every tutorial I find is for Godot 3, and Godot 4 seems quite changed.

Ah that's a super explanation there, thank you!

Yeah the templating language is not so nice, I sometimes use Jinja instead. Also, I don't like the classic MVC so I have a completely different structure thus validation your point completely :P

If you ever end up in Django land (for some project), checkout Django Ninja for APIs, you'll end up avoiding having these annoying url files and just have a

@api.get("some/api") def some_api(request):

instead. Super simple and useful. I just recently discovered it and I don't know how stable it is but it seems pretty stable so far.

As much as I love Flask (or Bottle) and the Go approach, I find myself in the same boat.

Curious question, why you say Django is mostly anarchy compared to Rails? I haven't used Rails btw.

I was thinking of building exactly this type of thing here. This is great and I love the simple/minimalistic styled pages.

Things I was also contemplating to implement you can freely steal:

1. Giving a list of potential interesting investments - these could also be behind paywall.

2. Summarize based on sectors to see where there's downturns coming - again maybe paywall this

3. Connect with news-sites or twitter etc.. to see what is happening and what is the sentiment. This is a lot harder as you'll need to either scrape or pay to get that info.

Best of luck

I absolutely love Caddy. Used it for years. Very reliable and so easy to setup once you learn the basics. The documentation is a bit hard to get, but it saved me so much time and energy compared to trying to get letsencrypt working reliable ontop of NGINX.

I don't get it as well, though I think the situation is classical regulatory capture. In other words, the wrong regulation.

I like the style the Czech/German system is doing healthcare. It is public but kinda private. You pay to the government, but you decide where to go so the hospitals/doctors compete for your money. It is very different than the centrally planned Danish or English based where there's basically some person in top that decides everything.

Oh man, I needed this so many times didn't even think of doing it like this. I tried using Selenium and all different external services. Thank you!

Works in chromium as well.

Same here. I just gave up on most of these websites. When I absolutely need to use a website such as for flights, I have a clean chrome browser I spin up.

I ended up on Fedora which seems similar to the "old ubuntu" where things just works. Stability can be a problem as they update quite often.

Wow, thank you - this is exactly what I didn't get. You explained it super well.

I am number 2, and so I guess it wont affect me as long as the fingerprint doesn't change to a malicious server that have taken over an IP.

There's something I am missing here. I sync my servers with rsync, but it is over ssh - is this still vulnerable?
