It's essential on narrow shared paths e.g. a canal towpath, when you're approaching a pedestrian from behind in order to avoid startling them when you pass. Most people walking the canal towpath around here know this,…
Force interoperability one way or another. WhatsApp is a closed system, if I want to use an alternative I'm stuck with adversarial interoperability, so stuff like Beeper (which is great, but...) which might get my…
in a similar vein; Write yourself a Git was fun to follow https://wyag.thb.lt/
Agreed having _every_ part replaceable would be great. Then I could have Theseus's phone in several years time :-)
I also had an issue with the power button on my FP4, sadly it became stuck _on_ so the phone just bootlooped and was immediately unusable. I ended up posting it for repair, over Christmas, which did take about 2 weeks…
I've got an openbsd server, postgres installed from the package manager, and a couple of apps running with that as the database. My backup process just stops all the services, backs up the filesystem, then starts them…
I moved us off docker swarm to GKE some years back. The multi node swarm was quite unstable, and none of the big cloud providers offered managed swarm in the same way they offer managed k8s. It's a shame I agree because…
Yeah I believe calibre can pull the files from the kindle as well as push to it. But I've only got an old kindle not a new one.
> But it would be healthy for everyone if people supported a DRM-free and non-surveillance ebook ecosystem. I try nearly every time. The book I want (usually sci-fi recommended to me by friends) is never available from…
Adaptive cycling. I've met folks well into their 80s riding trikes to get places (hip replacements and all).
The front loading variety can fit car seats for infants. My 2yo fits on a rear seat no problem. Might not work for absolutely everyone but it sure works for some.
Cargo bike?
Yeah there is some capability for this, for example https://criu.org
You can actually still use infinity for Reddit it's just a pain to get it.
Beeper seems to be working ok for me for the moment
Thanks for plainoldrecipe! Such a handy tool.
It's not what you're aiming for with this comment, but I bet git would actually make a pretty good storage tool/format for archival of mostly static sites. horrible simple hack: use `wget` with `--mirror` option, and…
Does anyone know of a service where I can feed in my Spotify playlists, and it tells me where I can buy those tracks?
> there isn't and hasn't been for a long time a direct connection to the physical brakes. I don't think this is true for most vehicles. Skoda Octavia 2020 for example still has hydraulic brakes. I was going to suggest…
Yes I've made this mistake with docker and UFW before :( Such a footgun.
Updates as the other commenter says. Also isolation technology like docker containers, chroots, bsd jails, protections that systemd offers, or virtual machines. While not perfect, it means that the attackers must have…
A more recently updated, and definitely working library : https://github.com/tulir/whatsmeow
It varies, I guess. For a normal end-user account on a system where no interaction between users is possible, it pretty much just affects you. For some kind of admin account with privileged access to other users' data,…
Nice! I started doing this in Zig (roughly following the codecrafters course on the topic to start out) but I ran out of steam a week or so ago. It's good to see someone building something they want for themselves.…
It's still got nearly half the page covered in ads, on mobile.
