So far I see more value in ontologies than graph databases. When using established ontologies naming does not become an issue and exchanging / understanding data becomes easier. You also push some of your code to the database "as

So the easy "instant" graphs offered by Cypher engines are just temptations then? Looks like a SQL foundation and a solid database engine is better (as always).

We are actually working with semantics / ontologies. The graph database is just our engine for storing the data. I am starting to think whether an ordinary SQL database could be just as useful.

Maybe because blockchains are just a Ponzi scheme while Facebook may have some actual value?

I just use Notepad in Windows, and store everything in a single document. This single document also contains my diary / log for daily activities. Plain text is enough for me.

Average is not the same as mode. 99.9% of people (at least) have more arms than the average for instance. So yes, theoretically 80% may be better at driving than the average, it is just so that the other 20% are even worse at it.

I just switched from EC2 to Hetzner. I found Hetzner's approach much more customer friendly, you set up PTR yourself for instance.

Hetzner does not open port 25 outbound (SMTP) until you have paid your first invoice. I therefore believe them to handle this problem somewhat seriously.

I had great fun setting up Postfix and Dovecot recently. However, I was very specific with always going for the minimum most simple solution. I do not have a dedicated database for instance, but use just mbox and POP3. And I did not even bo

I have dabbled with the same problem with AgoRapide which offers queries through GET (although on a much simpler level than PQL / GraphQL). I just present the query in readable form together with the output, letting the user choose bet

Thought so. I always wanted to build such a system, but usually end up recommending some sort of cloud service instead. > Did you notice that the demo site is throwing an HTTP 500 error? No... Looks OK to me.

ORM = Object-relational mapping. Never used it. First time I was introduced to an ORM (Hibernate) my instinct said to run away. Just too much complexity involved for little gain. I usually find that my projects are well suited to key-value

I run an IoT company where we do customer management without any special RDBMS system at all, I just built an HTML interface into the JSON API which in turn is mostly exposing a key-value store. Not sure if this would qualify as a full blow

It is nice to get some reminders why I still use a so called 'dumb'-phone. Very easy to use and with extremely long battery life. And if I lose it or damage it, the replacement cost is a non-issue. I had a Nokia costing 79 NOK (ap

Good point, even more so because I use VLC myself because of the exact same reason, it plays anything. I just never thought of giving it URLs, only local files. (But the user interface in VLC sucks though...)

I was very limited with regard to time available. With one baby, one toddler and three more kids around there is not much free time :) I would love to put a Raspberry Pi inside an old radio myself.

Not nearby, that was the original problem.

Never took the effort to reduce it to standard Internet size. But I will if I get 10 000 hits on the page tomorrow too. Amazon wants its dues. Yes, it looks really cool, expensive but cool.

Yes, I could. It would not have been so fun. And all Internet radios I have seen so far have some features that irritate me. For instance volume is push-buttons instead of turning knobs. Actually, the only interface I would have on a radio

I would link to implement https since almost all other sites I surf on now are https by default. But the last time I tried it with multiple domains pointing to the same server it was too cumbersome. And having to renew the certificate is a

By the way, while we are discussing readability, important message to all hipsters: We boomers prefer high contrast, that is black text on white background. Sites with grey text on grey background I usually skip. Once Firefox was my web bro

Author here. I took a look in IIS Admin and is unable to see WHERE did I ask it to serve https. I thought I was http only. The bindings only say http, both for the bef.no site and for the 'Default Web Site'.

I am reading this, just been busy with some errands last hour :) Thanks for the tip, a dedicated application in combination with Stream Deck sounds even better.

I do not agree with the tablet thing. Too many things can go wrong, and tablets are touch only, no tactile feedback. But your last idea was actually an excellent suggestion :) An ideal hacker project!
