This is pretty epic! This should come standard with Claude Code. Thanks for this! Now going to bed, and will wake up to a brand new feature :)

Very nice! Awesome landing page!

FYI, the `www` version of your domain doesn't resolve. You might want to add a redirect.

When I was nine years old, I liked poking around with a hex editor on my dad’s PC.

I didn’t speak English and MS-DOS wasn’t yet localized to Finnish in 1989, so I decided to try translating it myself with a dictionary by manually finding and replacing strings in the SYS/COM files. The result worked and my dad was suitably impressed, if probably a bit peeved that nothing worked anymore in the shell as expected (since I had replaced all the basic command names too — “dir” became “hak” and so on).

It’s pretty cool to see those strings again in src/MESSAGES.

At the same time, it feels a bit sad that today’s kids can’t get the same feeling that the computer is really theirs to modify. Modern operating systems don’t run binaries tampered with a hex editor. Most kids are on operating systems like iOS where they can’t even run a C compiler.

They can play with code in various sandboxes locally and on the web, but the computer fundamentally belongs to someone else today.

I liked changing the copyright company name to my own name. Made me feel like such a boss.

I happen to have downloaded the master branch at 9am this morning. Here's a torrent: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:92042e65d1b38cd5d97c29baa4d0c9e2af46f355&dn=bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean-master.zip

Off-topic: Tailscale seems like such a perfect acquisition target for Cloudflare. It seems like there's perfect product and culture alignment. Amirite?

What is different between this and dokku?

Nice UI, easier to use and more flexible, deploys Docker containers.

Is anyone else using an internal wiki engine like Outline or Wiki.js, for their company or community?

I am stuck self-hosting Outline because it has the most intuitive navigation and wysiwyg for non-IT people.

I wonder if any better alternatives appeared since then.

cmer · 2 years ago
I went down that rabbit hole as well, and I also settled on Outline for our business. We haven't widely deployed it yet, but it's been working great during our limited testing. It is sorely missing robust embeds, however!

This is a bit off-topic, but sadly, I have to agree. I AM a paying Kagi user, but the new limits have hit me extremely hard. I'm now paying twice as much per month and still almost hitting my monthly limit. I really don't want Kagi to go away but I think they have to adjust their prices if they want to keep thier customers around, me included
cmer · 3 years ago
Same here. I was a customer for a long time and loved the service, but having to watch my “search spend” and constantly going over limits is really annoying. I ended up cancelling but I really wish I didn’t.

Personally I’d like to see an ad-supported, or partially ad-supported version that isn’t evil.

The way Google started out with relevant ads in the sidebar or a single relevant ad at the top is acceptable in my opinion if it means bring the cost way down for the end user and ensuring sustainability for the company.

I don’t think asking users to shell out $10, $20, $30 per month for search is a viable long term model that’ll ever appeal to the masses.
