I use grid (still find it hard to grok though) -- but Tabler is more than just layout/flow. I like Tabler's component styles and it's highly customizable and easy to use, which I appreciate.

Yeah, dealing with date/time in JS has been a HUGE pain. I haven't tried Temporal yet but I hope it's better.

It's this: https://tabler.io/admin-template

Still highly unstable between versions, but for being free, it looks really good and is very flexible. I've been pleased with it for this project.

It doesn't actually get any of your data, let alone anyone else's. It's just an organizer, so please elaborate.

Ha, thanks. It's hard, so no shame for being "stuck". I've iterated on this for over a decade at this point. Still more evolution to come... but I really want this for my family.

Thanks! Hopefully it delivers.

I haven't seen that, actually -- looks very nice. We do render a heatmap already, but I'm learning that heatmaps are very tricky to tune to be most useful/interesting. I will try to learn from that project.

Awesome -- gonna try this. Thanks for the tip! And lit-html looks cool btw.

Update: I'm using importNode() now -- works great too.

I'm using the <template> tag heavily in Timelinize[0], which has a fairly sophisticated UI that I'm writing in vanilla JS -- not even jQuery. I use a few libraries (for mapping, datetime, and Bootstrap+Tabler for some nice styles), but that's it.

I wrote some boilerplate JS, yes, but I have complete control over my frontend, and I understand how it works, and I don't need to compile it.

Anyway, it works well so far! The <template> tag is a great way to lay out components and then fill them in with simple JS functions.

One nuance is documented in my code comments:

    // Ohhhhhh wow, we need to use firstElementChild when cloning the content of a template tag (!!!!):
    // https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/template#avoiding_documentfragment_pitfalls
    // I spent way too long on this.
    const elem = $(tplSelector);
    if (!elem) return;
    return elem.content.firstElementChild.cloneNode(true);

Once I figured that out, it's been smooth sailing and very powerful.

Oh, but I haven't cleaned up my code at all yet because I was just experimenting/hustling, so it's a bit spaghetti :) If you go looking, don't mind the mess.

First line:

> I am responsible for approving SSL certificates for my company.

And that is exactly what the requirements are intending to prevent. Automation is the way.

The system is working!

We also require this in the Caddy project too, but enforcing it is difficult.

If you can't trust your network, you'll want encryption, regardless of devices on it.

Thank you, this is amazing feedback/info. Yeah, we think the Tailscale integration is pretty neat too!

Wonderful info, and feedback -- thank you so much. Happy that it works for you!

I remember you. You're just grumpy because you didn't think of it first. ;)

2015 in fact. A decade ago.

Oooh. Can you tell me more about this?

Maybe inversely proportional to how much the ecosystem moves around it.

This is one of the main reasons Caddy stopped using lego for ACME and I wrote our own ACME stack.

Where's that if I may ask?

Don't worry -- soon after that, there will be high demand for human coders as companies scramble to hire to rewrite all the buggy and vuln-ridden AI-hallucinated software. We're on the verge of two revolutions in tech, not one.

Yeah but if you need a cert for a new site you have to use another CA.

Can't merge PRs or run actions either.

According to their status page, seems like all those services require Copilot: https://www.githubstatus.com/

This isn't just a gaussian blur though, there's raytracing and refractions happening. The OS is becoming a low-key high-fidelity video game.

It scales to hundreds of thousands of sites.

There's io.ReaderFrom and io.WriterTo, which can avoid internal buffering.

How does it compare to https://github.com/asg017/sqlite-vec ? Already using this in a big project.

[]byte is a buffer. (io.)Reader is any type that can read bytes, like as part of a stream. There are `bytes.Reader` and `bufio.Reader` and `strings.Reader`, and many others, depending on what you're reading. These three types allow you to read []byte, any buffered input, and string, respectively, as streams.

Streaming is more efficient for large pieces of data (files, etc; whatever you have), but the buffer is usually easier to work with and grants more flexibility.

Off topic, but I love the minimap on the side -- for pages where I might be jumping around the content (long, technical articles, to refer back to something I read earlier but forgot) -- how can I get that on my site? Way cool.

When using `.localhost` in the Caddyfile, you don't even need the `tls internal` line since that's assumed for that TLD.

How can you set up / use Windows without an Internet connection? Surely that's not an unsupported use case anymore, is it? There's gotta be plenty of places where Internet connectivity is not available or is restricted.
