A warning to those that haven’t looked at this list…. It’s a time vacuum. A “few minutes” of browsing it will translate to hours lost and family members on the verge of reporting you as missing.

Marques Brownlee is actually, rather brown.

The thumbnail shows Apple CarPlay, but in my limited understanding of all this, the car wouldn’t have access to anything in that ecosystem. Situation still sucks though, but anyone know of my understanding is right? I heard it described as the car screen is just a glorified monitor for the phone.

Three things.

  1. Brush your damn teeth.
  2. Spend time with your elderly family members while you still can.
  3. Compound interest.

Wait is he still on the Azure Performance team?

They list Notion, but IMO Obsidian is the better path. Lack of offline access to data is a big risk to using Notion, and what made me switch to Obsidian after being bit by internet access issues keeping me from being able to use my notes during a critical meeting. Hard no for Notion ever since.

“Meanwhile, the theft rate for all other makes of cars stayed about the same.“

FTFY

It’s absurd just how good wefwef is as a web app. Such a natural transition from Apollo.

Since I’m here, RIP Apollo and thanks for all the hard work Christian!

Immich is rapidly growing into the closest solution for replacing google photos. It’s not fully there yet, but there is very active development going on and it’s advancing quickly.

You just took me back to the Gangster Capitalism podcast about Liberty University. Mind blowing stuff there, and not the good kind.

Is it possible for the scans to be stored as files that are readable should paperless crash and I’m not around to get it up and running, or are files stored as weird non-standard file formats?

Took me over ten words to realize I’d been had. sigh

Isn’t DDG using Bing though? What’s that paid search engine I’ve been hearing more about? Reviews seem to actually be descent.

And no, that quick 2-second splash of water does NOT count!

They put it in the microwave at the office, didn’t they?

Someone massaging their feet with their hands? While somehow still waking? That’s where my brain went.

An alternate answer to “trust fund baby.” My job covered half of the costs for me and my family to work from an office in another country. The half we covered was still expensive, but we managed to cover our part without dipping much into savings. We couldn’t have done it without my employer covering some of it.

Another +1 for Obsidian. Will never go back. For anyone running into Notion, it doesn’t work offline (that I last checked.) bit me in the ass one time. Obsidian is all markdown locally available.

I’ve not looked in a bit. Has their integration with Apple mail on MacOS improved? I remember it (or some other part of their service) requiring a separate app to try and get things working.

And hopefully rectifying the crappy cell signal experience at airports since carriers should be able to run 5G infrastructure at full power around airports.

Check out the Gangster Capitalism podcast for a very interesting and in depth look at Liberty University. All sorts of shenanigans and foolery going on.

Is anyone familiar enough to know if this includes text via Apple CarPlay?

What the heck just happened?

DataDog is far more comprehensive than Uptime Kuma. It would be more useful to compare the specific capability inside DataDog, considering they have so many services. In this case RUM or Synthetics from DataDog would be a comparable offering. For the SQL stuff, maybe DBM? I don’t have any preference either way, just wanted to bring light to the depth of DataDogs offering since I live that life at the office.

Edit to add that DataDog isn’t FOSS, but has some components they’ve acquired over the years that are. Vector is a good example. They’re offering a paid version called Observability Pipelines, but it rides on top of Vector and they’ve (so far) committed to keeping it FOSS.

Works for me in Voyager (wefwef) This is a cool feature!

Anyone know what options there are for using something like this on an Apple TV?

I was there a few years ago but don’t remember seeing any snow machines.

Can you use it offline or does it fall apart like notion does? I switched to Obsidian after that bit me a while back.

Thanks for the insight!

Don’t have the link handy, but there’s a video out there about Chicagos approach to this and it’s absolutely nuts. The amount of infrastructure they’ve put in place, and sewage still ends up in the lake.

At a boat show many years ago there was an old dive suit on display. The old canvas type where they had a big circular helmet with port hole windows that could open. Early 1900’s stuff. I took a sniff in it and about passed out. Been over thirty years and I remember it like it was yesterday. Such a putrid and indescribable smell.

Boy I’m glad I joined early enough to know this reference.

We raised Mascove’s and it was super interesting to see how red the meat was. Straight up looked like a beef steak.

I think you’re on to something here, and would be willing to help support where I can. My guess is that my tech acumen is far behind most others here. But feel free to include me if you decide to dive deeper.

I agree. I have the WS-2000 that checks all these boxes but it was $299.

If I’ve driven there once in my life, 99% of the time I can drive there again with no directions.

Pretty established at this point and getting more posts every day.

Another thumbs up for Vikunja. Even approved by the wife! Note that integration with Apple reminders is not working currently and there doesn’t seem to be a solution.

Hoping for answers to the same question.

I kinda have something like this. I’m pretty good at estimating distances. From inches to feet and miles (don’t metric me it will get all fucked up.)
