When a Mayor does more for the citizen than the government...

Very clear! And would it make sense to run it on a GCP VM, and use it as a "nicer docker-compose" ? Or that would entirely miss the point?

That would be quite useful indeed!

Is there some kind of Terraform/Pulumi integration to make it easy to deploy stuff to some VM running Incus for my deployments? Or I'm missing the point of what Incus is for?

Not sure I get it... how would you replicate this functionality with Kafka? You'd still need to have the database LISTEN to changes and push it to Kafka no?

Well, in order to have typesafety, validation, etc you might as well... directly write in Typescript?

I'd argue that *you* are reinventing the wheel with a custom format...

After having so many issues with .env files I just now do a simple .env at the root of the repo with just `ENV=prod/staging/dev` and then everything is generated (using 1password, etc) from a `config.ts` file in my `pkgs/config` from the monorepo

the file is basically a big

``` const config = { http: { server_url: ENV === "prod" ? "https://myserver.com" : "http://localhost:3000" ... } } ```

and this lets me type variables, add comments, many niceties, etc

Possibly a more advanced civilization than us has long understood that it should not try to contact and bother other ones, but rather focus on their happiness where they are

Absolutely not, it means more URGENCY to solve problems because all these behaviors INCREASE the issues

Not in the street, but there was a lot of noise a while ago because of WhatsApp EULA issues

That's exactly what I'm saying. The point of those sanctions is to hurt the Russian economy. Here the OP is a western guy trying to tell people in Russia how to minimize the effect of those sanctions.

Don't get me wrong, I wish that there was no war, and that everybody could live in peace and prosperity, in Ukraine and in Russia, but what OP does is trying to limit the impact of our economical sanctions on the Russian economy

Are you seriously trying to help Russians evade sanctions that the West want to put on them? Not sure what you are trying to do with this

Very cool, I'm also more interested in the "retype a novel to get better at writing" rather than "typing fast", but as I'm French, I'd love to type some french novels. Would you be able to add a simple DIY mode where I first copy-paste a text (for instance that I get from Gutemberg), and then it is either stored locally or uploaded to your server, so I can type it?

My point has nothing to do with the crime of rape, it has to do with the (reverse) crime of falsely accusing of rape, and in this case, I don't think there really is much of a moral difference:

- the guy was accused of sexual harassment, which is something very much taken seriously here, where society tends to protect the women (rightly so) without much listening to the other party... & therefore a false accusation of rape is something very serious since guys often can't do much to counter it

- in this case the guys are publicly shamed without even having had the opportunity to explain themselves, & one even got fired

so I stand by my comment: I do not liken the attack (from the men) to a rape, I liken the attack (from the woman) to a false rape accusation, in that she falsely accused men of doing something that is vile & for which she has almost every chance to win if the other side is not listened to

false rape allegations have people sent to jail & publicly fired, false sexual harrassment allegations should also be seen very seriously since they are often non-verifiable & lead to some guy losing his work (which is serious)

I'd like her to justify:

- in what way her accusation is not the moral equivalent of a false rape claim - why it is alright to publish the photo of two people with non-verifiable accusations on a public site, before any form of trial or hard facts have been provided
