Depending on how complicated you're willing to allow it to be to run locally, you could just run a webserver right on the desktop. Bind it to localhost:8000 so there's no risk of someone exploiting it via the network, anf then your startup script is just:
- Start webserver
- Open browser to http://localhost:800/
It's not smooth, or professional-looking, but it's easy ;-)
If you want something a little more slick, I would probably lean more toward "Path 2" as you call it. The webserver isn't really necessary after all, since you're not even using a network.
One option that you might not have considered however could be to rewrite the whole thing in JavaScript and port it to a static web page. Hosting costs on something like that approaches £0, but you have to write JavaScript :-(
While I appreciate any attempt to shed more light on Poilievre's weaselly nature, this sort of heavily edited, "scary narrator" hit job is pretty gross. I'm not convinced that this will sway anyone to drop their support for him.
I always appreciate it when people build friendly Python wrappers around C code, but I suggest that if you're going to share an example in the documentation, the answer the LLM gives should at least be correct:
Q: Name the planets in the solar system? A: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
You might be interested in this project where someone has hooked up a low-power system to Mastodon and is tooting through it stories about the experience. The project author may also be worth contacting.
What exactly are you self-hosting that's gobbling up that much data? I've been self-hosting my website for decades and haven't used that much over all that time let alone in one month.
Most of my bandwidth consumption is from torrents and downloading Steam games, but even that doesn't get me to even 1tb/month.
Cool beans! My wife and I have been looking for a place in the UK to visit and York just topped my list.
Awesome! Which city?
A big problem here is a whole generation of developers who have learned to build stuff explicitly for AWS. If I ever inherit another Serverless project it'll be too soon.
Serverless, S3, SES, Cognito, and many many other tools are often tightly coupled to the application, so you get hooked on the "free" tier and can't extricate yourself later.
There's some hope here with Docker and Kubernetes, but a lot of companies (especially contractors) only know how to build exclusively on top of these AWS services, so if you're like most start-ups, contracting out first and second generations of your app, you can get committed to AWS for life.
What exactly are the risks here? Should Measles and even Polio make a comeback because of these idiots, is it just the lives of the idiots at risk, or is a resistance mutation that'd threaten everyone a risk?
During the last decade, however, centrists and progressives alike continually fail to grasp that many voters have reached the point of ‘anything must be better than this.’
Holy fuck this is it.
This is how you elect fascists:
- Claim that as the progressive option, only you can fix these problems.
- Offer only token non-fixes, all while claiming the right would make it worse.
Once you've demonstrated that you can't be trusted, the public start to think: "Maybe the right isn't all that bad. It can't get much worse than this."
The only way to avoid fascism is to actually help the public. Gaslighting them into thinking that you're solving problems you refuse to solve only works for so long.
This is pretty slick, but doesn't this just mean the bots hammer your server looping forever? How much processing do you do of those forms for example?
