It's your problem when they can't make payroll because of it. And it's your problem when they ultimately blame you for not having the solution ready to implement.

The first has happened to me once.

The second more times than I can count.

It was probably one of those situations where the kidnappers had diplomatic immunity and the host country had no other option but to declare them persona non grata.

I absolutely cannot stand this kind of logic.

"We make a shit ton of money on this very critical piece of software!"

"Then let me fix it!"

"NO! It's making us money NOW! It only stops making us money when it's broken. At which point then we fix it."

"But that might be hours. We can minimize downtime if we plan properly."

"But it's making us money NOW!1!1!”

I shit you not I have had various versions of this conversation throughout my career, across industries, across disciplines.

I love OurGroceries!!!!! It's so handy. ngl...the app would be worth an annual subscription and makes me wonder how they keep their app running with just a one-time payment.

That's my method as well. That and a folder to hold all the receipts. When I sell the car, I print out the spreadsheet and then trash the receipts.

I think Google does this with your phone. I can see how busy various places are by looking them up on Google maps. Really useful for my local Costco.

This is why this election is so important. I know it's said in every election but this one may be the last free* election.

That * is there because I know that Republicans have made inroads in red states, with many secretaries of state either vowing to not verify a Biden win or not affirming that they will certify the election.

Please, for the love of democracy and our Republic, consider volunteering as an election official or as an observer.

Good day self-hosters! I'm not exactly sure what to call what I'm looking for besides a "clipboard". Let me describe my problem and what my ideal solution is.

At work, I get a lot of slack DMs that ask for the same information. It's not consistent to the point I would just pin the information in my Windows 11 clipboard. But it's often enough that I'd prefer to give people the same information each time it's asked.

I'm limited in what I can build on my work computer. In an ideal world, I'd do what Gilfoyle did and make and bot but I lack the time and skills for such a task. Right now, I solve this with a very long notepad, which is subject to copy/paste errors. If I don't highlight everything correctly or if I accidentally copy over an existing line. That kind of thing.

What I was thinking was a very simple website where the items I'm copying are in tiles that can be tagged and searched. Once I find what I'm looking for, I can click the button to copy it to my clipboard and then go on with my life.

Due to restrictions on my work computer, I cannot host containers or host a website, though a fully self-contained HTML page with javascript I could do.. Ideally this is something that can be build using Github Pages build with Jekyll but so far, I haven't found a theme that mimics the behavior I'm looking for and I lack the time (though not the skills) to build it.

I'd prefer the github route so that I can share the page with others on my team who get asked similar questions.

I am also able to deploy a website via Github Pages (with .nojekyll).

I have to think something similar to this already exists but I imagine the restrictions on having no backend might be the challenge. Love to hear your thoughts!

Edit: added context for Gilfoyle

Thank you all for the great suggestions. I should have added in this post that my work does not allow software with Copyleft (Don't get me started. I'm a strong copyleft advocate and it annoys me that my company only takes and never gives back to OSS). I'm going to give TiddlyWiki out. License is friendly with my work, seems simple enough to run.

That said, Logseq seems to be pretty interesting as well. Might try this out on my on machine to see if I like it.
