- https://dict.press - A (language) dictionary publishing and management system.

- WIP: A FOSS, self-hosted Luma alternative (for use across our community initiatives)


Once you have managed to get the data out and structured, you may want to check out dict.press. It's a dictionary publishing and management tool (which I maintain). Multiple widely used Indian dictionary projects run on it.


Will take a look, I assumed there'd be some tools along those lines, thanks for the suggestion


We've allocated $60,000 to NTP from FLOSS/fund [1]. It happened in May, but the disbursal is pending owing to paperwork [2]. We hope it'll go through in the next couple of months.

The combination of the moving goalposts for donations (they changed it from $1000 goal to $4000 after hitting their goal[0]) and the fact that they have have a large donation like this pending but simply haven't completed the paperwork kind of rubs me the wrong way a little bit.

The delay is on our side while we wait for regulatory approvals (India) for cross-border disbursements, I must clarify. The issues are described in the post I linked [2].


Been self-hosting for a while. Amazing set of features and web and mobile apps work flawlessly.


Weather over DNS

  dig london.weather @dns.toys


This is quite cool! I just added this to dns.toys [1]

  dig iss.sky +short @dns.toys

That's so nifty! Thanks :-)

Do all the tools use TXT records? Or are there any which use LOC, NAPTR, etc?


Yep, all tools return formatted strings as TXT records.


Bug report for the weather: bratislava is definitely not in sub-zero C in the middle of summer. Tallinn was also ~17C off


I wrote about something tangential a few months ago; the need to have curation-based alternate forms of discovery on the WWW.

Pretty much exactly what I have been thinking lately. Write about it recently here: https://nadh.in/blog/decentralised-open-indexes/


> I hope Kagi succeeds. But personally, I think the web is dead. And no search engine can save it.

I concur. Maybe now is the time to seriously think about alternate visions for "search". I have been toying with an idea[1] along those lines myself out of sheer annoyance at the state of WWW and web "search" in general.
