sorcixon SparkFun Officially Dropping AdaFruit due to CoC Violation

The URL for this page is very generic and bound to become a 404 page. Thinking about URLs is important to prevent link rot.

sorcixon YAML is not a superset of JSON

You're right. I must have clicked the wrong link, the YAML 1.0 spec doesn't mention JSON. The quote was from 1.2, thanks for pointing that out!

sorcixon YAML is not a superset of JSON

The YAML 1.2 spec states:

> YAML can therefore be viewed as a natural superset of JSON, offering improved human readability and a more complete information model.

sorcixon Ask HN: Is nginx.org (the domain-name itself) gone?

Cloudflare still has the records cached, if you need urgent access to their downloads:

~ dig nginx.org @1.1.1.1 +short

sorcixon Bring Your Own Password Manager: Portable BitWarden on a Pi Zero

This article is using Vaultwarden, not the Bitwarden server. It's wrongly referring to Vaultwarden as "BYOPM hosts a Bitwarden instance" and "the Docker Image of Bitwarden." It is not, it is hosting a Vaultwarden instance. This is an issue as people using Vaultwarden report bugs to the Bitwarden project, where they can't be helped.

Oh, makes sense, thanks!

Confusing text in the readme. Does it have dependencies or not?

sorcixon Show HN: Bloben – Self-hosted web CalDAV calendar client

Shows the loading spinner forever for me. Turns out it tries to use a local storage feature that's not available in Firefox private windows. Might want to catch that error and show a message, as I had to open the console to find out I don't need to wait for it.
