aaviator42··on I'm betting on HTML
You can implement modals without JS, with HTML and CSS.

For an example, click on '?' in the top right corner here: https://aavi.xyz/proj/colors/

That seems incredibly cool and I'd love to be able to play with and use it! Definitely doesn't sound like something that requires docker.

Plus I always have a soft spot for cool tools written in PHP :)

aaviator42··on SQLite-based databases on the Postgres protocol? Yes we can
Someone might find this useful, so sharing here, since it's relevant.

I wrote a small PHP library that gives you a key-value storage interface to SQlite files: https://github.com/aaviator42/StorX

I've been dogfooding for a while by using it in my side projects, and it holds up very well (mostly thanks SQLite's robustness!).

And there's a basic API too, to use it over a network: https://github.com/aaviator42/StorX-API

aaviator42··on A Quick Overview of Matrix
The need is convenience, of course.

Are you really going to encrypt alerts your servers are sending you with GPG?

aaviator42··on A Quick Overview of Matrix
Hi! Nice to meet my counterpart from another universe! So many similarities between our READMEs! :)

I agree, FOSS is such a beautiful concept, that allows us to do cool stuff like this. :D

Kudos to you as well!

All my server back-ends send me alerts and logs via matrix, which I can check easily from any device, including my phone :)

aaviator42··on Show HN: GPT-4-powered web searches for developers
Indeed! Do you know why it's hallucinating again here? https://www.phind.com/search?cache=c118af16-3cf7-409b-864e-0...
aaviator42··on Show HN: GPT-4-powered web searches for developers
I was wondering if it'll be able to pull documentation for a (not popular at all) library I wrote from Github, and it seemed to the get the github repo right, but then hallucinated the functions. Still v cool!

aaviator42··on Show HN: Enc – A modern and friendly CLI alternative to GnuPG
This is beautiful, and I love your readme. I've been wanting to make something exactly like this for a long time but unfortunately never got around to it.

I'll definitely be using this a lot. Thank you!

Some of us still write code like that :P

aaviator42··on Soul – A SQLite RESTful Server
This is probably not ready to be used in production by others, but I wrote a library that gives you a key-value storage interface to SQlite files: https://github.com/aaviator42/StorX

I've been dogfooding for a while by using it in my small side projects.

aaviator42··on I am endlessly fascinated with content tagging systems
Yep! I'm not planning on working further on Cha at the moment, but I've learnt a lot since I initially wrote the PoC code and that is probably how I'd go about it.
aaviator42··on I am endlessly fascinated with content tagging systems
A few months ago I worked on some proof-of-concept code for searching tagged data: https://github.com/aaviator42/Cha

I now work full-time in a role where part of my duties is designing a content tagging system and its search functionalities. It's very interesting and fun! Lots of puzzles.

How do you weigh different tags? How do you do fuzzy searching ('city' should match with plural ('cities'), misspellings ('citys'), etc)?

How do you program the system so that 'hotdog' is not matched with 'hot' and 'dog'? What about synonyms? What about regional terminology and synonym tables?

Then there's one-to-one and one-to-many and many-to-one mapping.

As a side project I'm also working on a beta public search engine that I'll launch on HN sometime in the next year or so, where I'm having similar puzzles.

aaviator42··on ffsend: A fully featured Firefox Send command line client
For the same purposes, I use a script I wrote that can be thought of as a simple self hosted FF Send alternative.

Allows you to easily upload files to your server from a web interface and share them.

It's a single PHP script you chuck on a server (shared hosting or virtual private or homelab): https://github.com/aaviator42/izi
