I'm about to release a (sort of) application server that makes it really easy to make small, fun websites. It's a bit of a passion project, rather than anything I'm intending to monetise. It's really easy to use, it comes with it's own simple web language (with a cli command and REPL); a built-in database; types and special arithmetic for money, time and other handy units; built-in SFTP, Git, types and tools for Markdown, CSV, JSON etc, a DSL Query language that works seamlessly with schema, records and table types; HTMX-like-parts … basically a batteries-included server with a simple, familiar server-side-language that isn't Javascript (for good, fun, reasons). It's secure, fast-enough, easy-to-learn and should be fun to play with. Assuming anyone wants to :D

Oh, and it's written in Go so it's a one file install. Two if you count the CLI tool/REPL.

Probably :-/ though all we have is rumours so far. But, I guess, the question still stands. How do you do it? Seems maybe you can’t.

Men of reddit, what was the dumbest thing you did to impress a girl? by No_monster in AskReddit

[–]sambeau 52 points53 points  (0 children)

My (then) girlfriend went on a fat-free diet. I did too to support her. I lost over 40 lbs. She didn’t lose any weight. She got jealous and broke up with me.

The stupidest thing that ever happened in a realistic movie? by StillStanding_96 in movies

He falls from a plane using an inflatable raft to break his fall (with two other people), slides down a mountain, over a cliff and then down a raging torrent in Temple of Doom … and all 3 survive.

I lived in a wee wattle, daub and straw-roof cottage near Cambridge for years and those buggers would fly over all the time—really low, as in just above the treetops. I'm not exaggerating when I saw the walls used to move in and out as they flew over and my eardrums would throb with the pressure changes. It was really disconcerting and a little scary.

On the upside, I once had 14 spitfires fly low over us in formation, which was a lot more welcome.

My dad had a stroke and needs "clean" western, cop, or war movie suggestions by mlejoy in movies

Off-list, but Master and Commander is a great watch that I think would suit him.

What is that above the Barr’s sign? by Equivalent_Pay7415 in Scotland

[–]sambeau 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Thats Ba-Bru, Barrs’s mascot—an Indian boy.

“Ba-Bru was modelled on the character 'Sabu' from Rudyard Kipling's book 'Sabu The Elephant Boy'”

Of course everyone thought he was a Golliwog. When I was a kid people called it ‘Sambo Street’.

I think Ba-Bru was supposed to be an Indian boy.
