In other news, the grass is green and the sky is blue.

Bluesky thinking about Greenfield projects, perhaps

Email address privacy is a feature offered by Github and replaces your day to day email: https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/how-tos/email...

Unfortunately if you don't start out using that, then your email address is already spread across the web. And back when I was looking at gitlab/bitbucket/etc for feature comparison, each forge used their own domain and couldn't be persuaded to combine commits from multiple addresses into your own profile (to be clear, that's not really necessary, but it does make it more difficult to find a commit created by someone when their commit address isn't the address associated with their account)

For the 5 api requests a second most projects will get, it'll probably do.

Of which DigitalOcean is running very outdated prices at 4USD for 512mb ram.

The cheapest Kimsufi dedicated server with 32GB ram is $11.10/mo.


I've done somewhat similar for the same reasons.

I realised that if I exclusively read business news I can avoid a good amount of the fluff and sensationalism. I made a browser extension which pushes the headlines from Bloomberg, Financial times Euronews Business and a few others on to my new tab from their RSS, and it's more than enough to give me a nugget of what's going on in the world without being overloaded. 1 item per new tab.

End result is: I don't read the news, but I still know what's going on without the need for Social Media's hot take.


Sounds very interesting. Have you published this extension (or the source code)? I think I would like to try it out.


Yeah, it's available here https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/start-screen-a-busi....

Can't say it's the best extension in the world, but it scratches my own itch and I'm happy with it. Sometimes that's good enough.


Thanks :)


There are yes for Meshtastic. This map seems to have the highest coverage of people sharing their nodes, but in reality in my area there are significantly more which are not shown on the map.

Whoa, at the same time it's negligible but also a LOT more than I expected. Thanks!


Absolutely, from Amsterdam I can sometimes hop all the way into Germany, The Hague, Haarlem. That doesn't mean my messages will always travel that far. Far from it, but it does mean that an identification message _has_ made it from there. On average there's around 80-100 nodes that I can connect to.


> Hyper-perfect social media / television setting "the best" expectations for an event.

My approach around this is suggesting the idea to people up front and then throwing everyone into a WhatsApp chat and laying down the plan. Anyone who can't join gets removed/leaves. No one expects a whatsapp group to be a refined VIP experience. It's just people getting together and sharing an experience.

Having moved countries and needing to start up a new friend group, things like Meetup or Facebook groups help a lot. There are _many_ people out there who are looking to meet people.

For throwing a party, my general rule of thumb is expect 50% of people to turn up.


Credit where credit is due, going back to whole-foods and single-ingredient foods is the correct decision for everyone, and is often cheaper. But you can tell it's with a heavy focus on meatpacking, and it's known there's heavy lobbying going on.

Is that a bad thing? I'd rather people eat single ingredient foods and foods without labels (fruit, veg) than neon green cereals. I guess my point here is that it's a little sad the 'right' outcome was as a result of heavy lobbying.

The correct order should have been greens > proteins > carbs for an overweight nation.


Software engineering is based out of London.


While we're talking about silly(?) iOS design decisions, the one I can't get over is allowing users to change lock screen timeout without pin/faceid via Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-lock. This should really be under Face ID & Passcode or Privacy & Security.

From a phone getting taken from your hand perspective, this is the first thing they will change.
