If we design a probe that travels at speed of light it would reach there in 48 years and it would send back what it's seen after another 48 years. It would take multiple generations of scientists to work on this project. The longest we have worked on, are Voyager projects. Can we expect that level of commitments from our governments or corporations? Voyager became successful because people could see distant futures. We can barely plan few years ahead.

Whenever this topic comes up I am reminded of the black and white picture of all the scientist of 19th century together. Each individual in that photo had contributed something to human knowledge. It feels like in 19th century we believed in our scientists and advancing our knowledge. I feel today celebrities are given more importance than our scientists. The best minds of our century are focused on extracting value from rest of the population.

I used memos which has similar feature set. One day I lost my hard drive and I had to restore from s3. Turns out the backup I had was incompatible with latest version of memos app.

Since then I just gave up on web based tools for notes. I just want to save my notes and be able to recover them when things go wrong. A simple directory with markdown files and hugo blog allows me to do that.

OP how does your app store the journal entries?

Few months ago I did exactly this. But over time I threw away all the generated js,css and html. It was unmaintenable mess. I finally chose Svelte and stuck with it. Now I have a codebase which makes sense to me.

I did asked AI to generate landing page. This gave me the initial headers, footers and styles that I used for my webapp but I threw away everything else.

And will only get better once Go 1.26 is out.

Can anyone tell me why? What's changing with Go 1.26?

I host my own code repository using Forgejo. It's not public. In fact, it's behind mutual tls like all the service I host. Reason? I don't want to deal with bots and other security risks that come with opening port to the world.

Turns out Go module will not accept package hosted on my Forgejo instance because it asks for certificate. There are ways to make go get use ssh but even with that approach the repository needs to be accessible over https. In the end, I cloned the repository and used it in my project using replace directive. It's really annoying.

I do not have a solution for blog like this but if you are self hosting I recommend enabling mTLS on your reverse proxy.

I'm doing this for a dozen services hosted at home. The reverse proxy just drops the request if user does not present a certificate. My devices which can present cert can connect seamlessly. It's a one time setup but once done you can forget about it.
