Imagine for a moment that you are me: a balding smoothbrained millenial on the wrong side of 30 emanating a constant funk of mildew and sour milk. The last time you cared about coding you were booting off floppy diskettes and making HTML websites with frames.
Now, I'm working on an idiot project. I want to make a web applet where I could input text, store it in a .txt file and then retrieve it from another PC.
Is web2py and an apache server a feasible approach? I'm too 
for django.
web2py uses SQL for a storage db, but honestly it's going to be a single user app (just me) and storing the .txt files in a directory with a date/time naming scheme would be fine.
Would this work the way I want it to? I have tried googling but these questions are too basic and r-slurred to find answers to.

Developing States are at the center of the development of central bank–issued digital currency. Their governments' efforts to capitalize on digital currencies—as well as the accompanying discourse of fast-tracked economic development and democratization of the financial system promoted by the states and the technology and political entrepreneurs who court them—reaffirm the role of islands as sites of experimentation, this time as fintech laboratories.

GitHub drama as OP suggests adding Protonmail and Simplelogin to the fake email filter list, and lemmings brigade the thread to express their disapproval

https://github.com/ProtonMail/WebClients/issues/362
https://github.com/simple-login/app/issues/1955
Honestly, the more these one time accounts try to convince me to remove protonmail and simplelogin, the more I see how much it's needed to block them. It's like the marketing team is desperately trying to keep their services from being rightfully flagged and it just makes me want to block them even more. I do hope they won't cloud your judgement @7c , as these services are used for temp emails by all definitions. If you have any questions you may always ask me from the conversation we have started :)
https://github.com/7c/fakefilter/issues/73#issuecomment-183761101
Owner decides against adding protonmail but the drama continues as he doubles down
More Github drama:
OP argues with ProtonMail maintainer
Sick of sites requiring an account, email or phone number. Makes the web even more unfriendly. I hope temporary emails can always get around filters, as if you play stupid games you should win stupid prices.
https://lemmy.world/comment/5786168
the discussion is happening here: https://github.com/7c/fakefilter/issues/73
Someone working at Proton has commented on the issue, the list maintainer wanted to take the discussion with proton private so we have only a few posts from them.
If you want my personal take:
It's very clear how the list maintainer opposes anonymity in the internet in any form, which I see as an attack on freedom, journ*lism and activism.
I'm not a fan of Protonmail of any sort and in fact I consider that their privacy is lacking… but I really hope they can talk some sense into this guy. This block list seems to be used by a lot of webs that will start blocking virtually every private email provider.
(Edit: I assumed the person that posted the email list was a maintainer, but they don't seem to have a “contributor” or “owner” badge, so idk. Maybe they are just very angry at privacy and anonymity on the internet)

Orange Site discussion (nobody knows what is going on yet but they're taking sides anyway)
The gist includes this though:
anger directed at me for trying to hold Hans accountable for blocking protecting marginalised community members from abuse and making F-Droid unnecessarily unwelcoming
Which marginalized community members will she be concerned about?

The UE-1 is one of my favorite projects to date, but there's no denying that it's weird as far as computers go. So weird in fact, nearly everyone who got hands on with it at the last event I had it at was completely lost as to what it was or how it worked. That got me thinking that a little handheld vacuum tube computer built using the same core concepts as the UE-1 would be great for introducing people to the concept of 1-bit computing. In this episode, I build up exactly that, with a little help from my friends at PCBWay!

I get out of my certification exam and there's only one thread and they put the wrong day so the admins couldn't find it.
This is why we can't have anything nice. I'll just copy yesterday's OP

Besides the fact that Jai’s lead developer (Johnathan Blow) is a transphobic and racist asshole—
— Luna 🦊🇩🇰 // nullptr::live (@LunaFoxgirlVT) December 2, 2023
Jai is also, in my opinion, a really ugly language. I’d not develop a game in it personally. I don’t see Jai code being all that maintainable for me at scale.
Right now it is in private beta; You have to send him a heartfelt email demonstrating you are a based programmer and only then he'll ship you an exe of the compiler.

when two orange site 
users sperg out in the most 
I've seen on HN 
Top Poster of the Day:
911roofer
Current Registered Users: 27,408
tech/science swag. 
Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and NOT drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to read them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.
