The early Web had a quality that has been lost ever since: it was simple
Download #httpd , #netscape write some #html by hand and boom, the concept of a networked digital society is born.
It first started going pear shaped with #LAMP . The complexity of a full blown database was not justified for most use cases. As proven decades later by the popularity of #sqlite and #ssg approaches.
The final blow was when #bigtech got into the act. Immense complexity for the simplest things became a moat
A new seasonal look for my family instance of famsite. 🦃
The theme changes are pure CSS (and a touch of JS for the countdown). I made the turkey SVG in
@inkscape this morning. It's just a handful of shapes with color gradients.
To run, famsite just needs PHP and SQLite on a webserver somewhere. I'm serving mine with OpenBSD's httpd on a VPS hosted by
@OpenBSDAms . The schema has 3 tables. The whole thing fits on a floppy. 💾
Screenshot of the famsite website - simple "social media" for friends and family. The new theme has autumnal browns and oranges. There is a colorful SVG turkey in the corner with a banner that says "25 days until Thanksgiving!"
I love #SQLite. It just works. It is extremely fast, because it’s just a local file access. It is very operationally and mentally simple, and it is extremely stable and well-tested. However, over my years of using it, there are just some things that I miss from the world of #Postgres. So what happens if we just treat a local Postgres like SQLite? What does that mean? In this article, I’d like to expand on that idea.

Chciałem dać Defold jeszcze jedną szansę - planowałem przenieść swoje gry słowne z apki do osobnej gry. Ale… Defold nie ma własnej (natywnej) implementacji SQLite 🤷♂️ #gamedev #Defold #SQLite
