Well, you might also enjoy some of these: https://zaiste.net/posts/shell-commands-rust/ I definitely recommend the grep and find alternative, a lot more intuitive.

I'm curious what their load balancing layer looks like. There's alot of interesting options. (Disclaimer: I've worked in the CDN and the storage space in the past) If their load balancer is smart enough it can call the dispatcher, and make use of something like https://zaiste.net/nginx_x_accel_header/ to figure out where to forward the request. Unfortunately this still requires uploads be proxied through the dispatcher. You could get crazy and involve a CDN (akamai or cloudflare or fastly) that could do some smart logic, especially if you can emit your dispatcher as a lookup table that's updated frequently. I don't know what bandwidth costs would be for that though. Probably high. It's an interesting problem space and I'd love to talk to these folks about it.

I went through many software solutions and ended up with Org Mode as well. There may be some clunkiness at the beginning and it definitely lacks the glamour of proprietary solutions such as Notion. But once you get a grip on Org Mode, you will be amazed how deep the rabbit hole goes. ;) There is a great Org Mode tutorial [1] on YouTube by Rainer König. The only « problem » is that you need to learn Emacs. I recommend Emacs Doom [3] Also, I'm experimenting with making my Org Mode notes public. Here's a humble beginning [2]. I only publish them once they are cleaned, so it's just a tiny bit for now.

I use nginx, which is a great alternative to Apache. I've never tried it on OSX, but this guide seems to cover dnsmasq + nginx virtualhosts :-) http://zaiste.net/2013/03/serving_apps_locally_with_nginx_and_pretty_d…

on a tangential note: there is a bunch of tools re-written in rust, a handy non exhaustive list [1]. [1]: https://zaiste.net/posts/shell-commands-rust/

If you're looking for some new cli applications written in Rust in particular, this list is quite good and covers several: https://zaiste.net/posts/shell-commands-rust/

It depends on what you mean by "Windows support". WSL is well-supported, I think: https://zaiste.net/os/nix/howtos/install-nix-windows-10/ . In my experience, though, Windows 10 has proved really annoying. Over the past 8 weeks, 1) Windows 10 update has broken sound (I occasionally have to disable/enable the Realtek Audio device) 2) Windows 10 update has fixed sound (without seeming to have changed the Realtek Audio driver) 3) Has throttled the performance of my graphics card (hash rate on Autolykos V2 dropped by 10x after an update), without having had changed the graphics driver 4) Windows 10 Pro won't allow certain applications to be downloaded or installed (immediately quarantined) and Virus & Threat Protection isn't visible in the Control Panel. This is a common issue, apparently [1] Generally, Windows 10 seems to take control of configuring the operating system away from the user while adding a bunch of "telemetry" and "application monitoring". Not too happy. I'm in the process of moving to NixOS as my primary system [2]. I'll boot from a flash drive with a live version of the OS including all applications and files I need for local development; the flash drive will mount the OS into RAM; I'll unplug the flash drive and continue my development from RAM; I'll shut down my machine at the end of the day and have a clean slate the next time I boot into the OS [3].

This is what I've done the past couple weeks and it's going pretty well: Start with plain Emacs. Print/write out the popular cheatsheets. Just make sure you know how to exit, access the documentation, and move around the windows/frames/buffers. Get Melpa & install some packages. Play with the config, adding keybindings, figure out hooks and so on. Copy some elisp functions from dotfiles on Github. Spam the documentation command on everything. Get frustrated with how much tinkering you need to do to get the crazy setups you've seen on blogposts. Stay motivated by consuming more content about custom setups. Discover the magic of magit and parinfer and dired. Look up some of the org-mode/PIM heroes on github, usernames: novoid, alphapapa, karlicoss Install Doom. Tinker with it a bit. Take notes of your learning in an org file. Tinker some more. Go back to plain emacs for a bit. Then try spacemacs. Go straight back to Doom because it's faster and you now understand enough about emacs to be scared of spacemacs' layers. Below are some links to help you along the way. http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/blog.html https://sachachua.com/blog/ https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/refcards/pdf/refcard.pdf https://orgmode.org/worg/orgcard.html https://cestlaz.github.io/stories/emacs/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g9BcZvQbXU https://zaiste.net/doomcasts/
