I code and do art things. Check https://private.horse64.org/u/ell1e for the person behind this content. For my projects, https://codeberg.org/ell1e has many of them.

Therefore, it’s not naive to assume it may go nowhere until proven otherwise.
Configs are often shared, just to explain my reservations with TOML. For my project, I used INI instead.
I can’t really decide what extensions my users will face, once they are supported. Therefore too many extensions seems bad to me.
INI can be nicer for non-techies due to its flat structure. However, TOML seems to be in an awkward spot: either I want flat approachable (I’ll pick INI) or not (I’ll pick JSONC). Why would I want a mix?

check the API rules
That was what I was wondering about above. For Bgpview I can’t find much.

Programming@beehaw.org•Question about community maintained free IP geo listsEnglish
3·7 months agoSo is it only me, or wouldn’t it be possible to write a script that 1. gets the ASN list from some place like here https://bgpview.io/reports/countries/GB and then 2. queries the list of IP ranges from here https://www.enjen.net/asn-blocklist/index.php?asn=&type=iplist and 3. commits that to a repository on Github or such, and the script could be rerun every two weeks or so? It seems like there are no terms of use attached to any of these two services that forbid this, but does anybody know?

AGI talk seems for now to be merely hype to get investors.
