  • Does it really, practically, impact things?

    If people had to obey the law of “every country that has any internet presence”, site operators worldwide would have to do such silly things as ban women from using the internet while not sitting right next to their husbands, or who knows what other silly things as per the Sharia. So I don’t really see how any such thing is to be taken at anything but grandposturing from boomer political parties, at face value.

    Now, if you want to ban Bri’ish IP addresses, your hosting can take care of that. For the most capable ones it’s just a flip of a switch. But do consider that in some cases that makes your site worse for everyone else worldwide as such rules are sometimes implemented via privacy-invading systems (eg.: yet another control that makes your site depend on Cloudflare).












  • I use SQLite to power up lots of stuff I’m working on. It’s lightweight, fast, simple and well-documented for small projects — like a Postgres but very local. Saves me from having to deal with containers “just to store data”, let alone for moving stuff to other machine where I would also need the permissions to configure and run containers in the first place; whereas all you need to pass SQLite databases along is scp / rsync.
