  • You can either decide by what is currently in demand in the industry and then pick a project that you can exercise that language with or you can think of a project you’d like to do and then go by what the best language is for a given project.

    In the end, languages are just like different wrenches. First you have to learn how to use a wrench, size or features don’t matter much at this point (unless you already know that you want to become an expert with one particular wrench).

    I think starting a new project is way easier than contributing to an existing one.









  • With a Blazor (serverside mode) project you could have that with a nice user experience. Blazor has a tiny js which initializes something, otherwiss it renders the site on the server and sends the component updates to the browser, so the whole site does not need to reload, only the relevant components (which is kind of interesting).

    Maybe there is some blazor serverside e-commerce project out there, I wouldn’t personally recommend it though.



  • For the site itself the most minimal thing you can do is an html file.

    Then some software to act as the “server” that serves that file to a visitor. (nginx, caddy, apache - there are many options).

    And your domain needs a domain record which points to your server.

    As you want to use a home pc, you need to figure out whether your ISP gives you a dynamic or static IP.

    If static, you can just use that.

    If dynamic, you’d need some service like dynDNS to keep pointing your domain to your changing IP.



  • Well, as far as I know, the open source seeds are not that great. It is not commercially viaible to switch your agriculture business to them. Maybe only a tiny plot for marketing campaigns like the “open source bread” some bakeries want to sell.

    I’d love to see some billionaire hire a bunch of plant biologist to develop modern, high performing, commercially viable seeds and open source them instead of milking the cashcow.

    The opensource seeds project does not reject gen tech per se. but since they don’t have that kind of money, all the seeds they develop are made through old school breeding of outdated seeds that are not commercially licensed.

    But I think the idea is not only very important but also really interesting.
