Kissinger died Nov 29, 2023 per web lookup. Maybe close enough? I'm sure there were some this year too. I just can't name any offhand.
This is a good idea and I've been wanting to suggest it for Markor, which I generally like. On a full sized computer I use Org mode with git and that works well.
You start with a working Forth and then bootstrap, sort of like writing a C compiler in C. There is an additional trick that Forth calls metacompilation (note, that term has a different meaning outside of the Forth world). See: https://www.bradrodriguez.com/papers/moving4.htm
I thought they only got 30 cents an hour or some such
I'm surprised it lasted this long. The one around here has been a ghost town inside for years. It seemed ineptly run. Condolences to the people working there.
I don't bother with a proxy host or with LetsEncrypt, though I guess you could use LetsEncrypt perfectly well. Back when I was doing this, LetsEncrypt didn't exist and you had to actually pay for public certificates, so using locally generated free ones saved money. It also had a minor(?) security advantage in that if the private server key somehow leaked, it wouldn't let people impersonate our internet domain.
For the private CA I simply used the crappy CA.pl script that comes with OpenSSL or did at the time. There are much better ways to do it, especially at any kind of scale, but CA.pl sufficed dealing with a few development machines.
Not sure what you mean. If you want to stay focused on the task, then try to do so. If you want to let it slide, then do that and get back to it whenever. It's possible that you'll completely forget or it's possible that you will get back to it. Back in college there was a certain book (fiction) that I wanted to read. I finally got around to it 20+ years later. I'm glad that I read it and the delay wasn't a problem. It wasn't like it was bugging me for all those years. Something eventually reminded me of it and I followed up.
Proxy host out on the public internet? Usually I just use a local private CA for this, and install the CA root in my browser.
Traditionally Forth is implemented completely in Forth. Jonesforth is kind of non-traditional in that sense, because it is in assembler.
Doing that in Java sort of misses the point? I guess the enjoyment still counts if course.

They still have those?
