Sorry, I don't get it. Looking at the source tree, there's a folder of html. So you're compiling it down to a single binary, for what purpose? If you love golang, run caddy and point it to a folder of html.
GNU isn't the only Free (not to mention free) philosophy in town. I believe it to be the only one whose licenses start out in a combative posture, e.g. "The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,..." (Is this claim even true?)
I believe in Free Software and I also believe in positive, cooperative attitudes, which is not the attitude that GNU puts forth.
I sympathize with the author. At the same time, reading a post like this reminds me how out of touch we in the SV/tech realm are. "Boring" here is quite relative, and folks living more average lives would find this kind of attitude to be crazy. Boring? You're healthy, get out sometimes, have hobbies, have written software, have written more than one-line drivel on the web... this is boring? I would call it an attitude or feeling borne out of tech privilege.
For those of us in the VoIP industry, VoWiFi offers no surprises. The phone establishes an IPSEC tunnel back to the provider for secure calling using the SIP/IMS stack. Much of the time when I am at home and not planning to go out, I turn on airplane mode then enable WiFi. Calling, SMS, MMS, etc. all work fine. It's a battery saver.
Star Trek demonstrates the changing times pretty well.
For the Original Series, the producers were just starting to explore color television and they used the whole pallette.
1990s Star Trek feels more "natural" to me: warm where you expect warmth (ship's crew quarters, hot planets), cool where you expect cool (Borg ship), fairly neutral otherwise, though some of the sets did have an office-park vibe to them.
Current Star Trek, specifically Discovery and Picard, are about as gray-blue and washed-out as ever.
The pictures in this tweet show it perfectly: https://twitter.com/ShelfNerds/status/1481452739754405889
It's not my software. I'm trying it out and actually like it quite a lot for its capabilities. This code of conduct statement is kind of brash but you can see why when you browse their demo site at http://uncensored.citadel.org. I would guess it has been irreverent (but not irrelevant) since the beginning.

BIND has a track record because it has existed for decades. At present, what's wrong with it?

In my part of the US, a temporary structure does not require a permit or zoning allowance, while a permanent structure does. When we build sheds to meet the "temporary" definition, they are built on top of cinderblocks and not a poured concrete foundation. In this case, the author built his shed directly on top of his patio, so I am curious whether this would be considered a permanent or temporary installation.

Not only do you do very little work and get rewarded nicely for it, you post about your laziness on HN and get rewarded for it through praise and upvotes. Obviously you are doing well for yourself. But I am glad I do not work with you.

> Parsing text with regular expressions is like eating rubbish. In the 21 century, we send and receive data structures.
Of course you do, if you're starting from scratch. But since we tend to work on the Internet, which has a long history and myriad data formats and protocols, we often (rightly) use regex to validate and parse.
