Lots of great memories beautifully bottled up and impeccably presented (as we've come to expect from Neal). I was hoping the million dollar homepage would be included, and wasn't disappointed. :-)
Did anyone else notice how the audio stops playing when you slide to the next screen, except for zombo.com? Haha.
No, I rarely think self-referential comments are useful, let alone interesting.
I do think it’s useful however to claim information space on a serious topic before, interestingly, various apologists show up as is happening ITT now.
Thanks for sharing, Chris! In case it's helpful to other readers, the linked article outlines combining several tools together, including N8n and how it fit into the picture. Decent article, although a bit shallow on details.
Actually, ffmpeg exists thanks to the legendary Fabrice Bellard. He's the rarest kind of programmer, stunningly capable and on a totally different wavelength of existence in terms of breadth of achievements. He made ffmpeg, incepted QEMU, and is a mobile / cellular communications guru.
AGPL licensed, which seems perfect for this kind of product:
The AGPL (Affero General Public License) is a type of free software license developed by the Free Software Foundation. It is similar to the GPL (General Public License) but with one key difference:
Network Use Clause: If you modify AGPL-licensed software and use it over a network (like a web app or API), you must also release your source code to the users who interact with it.
In other words, with GPL, you have to share your code only when you distribute the software. With AGPL, you have to share your code even if users are just accessing it over the internet (like using a SaaS product). AGPL was created to close the "SaaS loophole" in the GPL.
