Their request IDs seem to be chronological when sorted alphabetically.

I like to telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

This reminds me of the Little Book of Calm, discussed extensively in the Black Books TV series.

But it doesn't have Perl's brevity: https://imgur.com/a/CfRqh5X

Thanks for pointing that out! My ISP, (Orange Belgium), does not support IPv6 yet!

Unfortunately towel.blinkenlights.nl is permanently dead

I see them less and less. Recently an acquaintance got hearing aids and when asked about the T functionality (to listen to induction loops) they didn't even know about it.

Meanwhile some ISPs are still not offering IPv6, such as Orange Belgium.

The most absurd limitation in Postman is a limit on how many times your team can run a collection. Locally, on their machine.

Let that sink in: on YOUR LOCAL machine.

What we really need is a community-driven alternative without lock-in. Many other use cases are covered by great FOSS products, but somehow API clients are abused as a sync cash cow:

- insomnia deliberately broke a 3rd party sync: https://github.com/acheong08/obi-sync

- I could go on

I've been using Bruno lately. It can use any directory as a collection, and I use git repos with my team to sync collections.

Imagine governments allowing money for gold that's present but locked away. And later for gold they don't have!

In the sixties, hexavelent chromium was used as a rust inhibitor in cooling towers in a Hinkley PG&E compressor station. It caused ground water contamination affecting the health of many.

The lengths we have to go to make a device at this price point do what we want is... reMarkable

And then there is FATCA and CRS : when opening a bank account for my non-profit I had to answer 15 pages of questions related to me, other directors and the non-profit itself. I'm a non-US citizen outside of the US.

Thanks for sharing this! I could be wrong, but it seems like there is no public registration link yet, right?

Not to be confused with the programming language by WSO2 [1].

If anyone knows about a FOSS pdf form editor, please share!

WSO2 have been pitching their stack in a way that tries to make established coding stacks look 'old school' while inventing things like Ballerina which is just a proprietary language. Additionally, tools like their Enterprise Service Bus are no longer open source, and tools such as their API Manager lack critical monetization components.

How much traction do their components have among this community?

What about art in museums all over the world that is requested back by the country of origin?

What seems to be missing is an OSS tool to add/remove form fields

@dang, could you update the link?

I can't help but dislike chips in cables

For non-Americans like me: apparently CVS stands for "Consumer Value Stores," and is a well-known American retail and healthcare company.

What is it with generic HTTP clients and their data/account hunger? And why has no fully selfhosted team collaboration tool stood up?

I use ChatGPT to make bad code readable. E.g. convert nested ternary expressions to if/else structures.

I also use it to generate boilerplate code like DTOs and mappers for a given set of entities.
