That's really great news. For anyone looking for the astrophotography equipment, this is from one of his posts:

Telescope: William Optics UltraCat 76 Mount: Sky-Watcher Wave 150i Camera: ZWO ASI2600MM-Pro

I was curious about this too and looked up the approximate online selling prices for new.

The camera: ZWO ASI2600MM Pro ~$2000 and telescopes: Askar 130PHQ Quadruplet Refracting Astrograph ~$3500 and William Optics WIFD Ultra-Cat 76 APO Refractor ~$2200. Mount: Skywatcher NEQ6 Pro ~$1300. Probably also some specialized tripod, adapters, software and lots of time and care. Remarkable results for essentially 'serious hobbyist' money.

Not commenting on the content itself (others have done it better) but anybody getting tired of seeing the same vibe coded websites over and over again?

It really is boring and lifeless. Most of those vibe coded sites have senseless boilerplate UI like the "send feedback" link that opens "beautiful" UIs that are completely without function.

There seems to be an inverse relationship between the flashiness of a website and the quality of it's content.

I actually didn't notice since there weren't gradients.

On one side what you are saying it's true but on the other side it rings like "it was better when it was worse" which I always despised in the past. It's hard to accept when it's your own craft that is being automated but we must move on. Otherwise we'll be like the mechnical clockmakers complaining about Casio watches.

No, this is absolutely just worse. The past wasn't all glory. There always were countless bad design patterns. But this is just bad. It's just the continuation of degenerative design principles that oppose information, functionality and control.

yup, i totally agree. i was focusing on the functionalities first, later we can do a redesign to not feel like ai slop

Then came DVD±RW which used the magic pen technology. Each time you write, it changed both the color of the disc and the data. Surprisingly enough if you did it long enough it ended in color/data corruption...

The EU Commission had an open consultation about "Open Source and Digital Ecosystems" recently and is planing to (more) heavily invest in OSS in the future as a matter of sovereignty. https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/commission-ope...

https://nocodb.com/ is an open source alternative.

It has data corruption issues, see https://visualdb.com/blog/concurrencycontrol/

Same reason here. It didn't like Florisboard.

Cool work, thanks. A bit like https://github.com/kevin1024/vcrpy in python, if you weren't aware OP.

I enjoy vcrpy and use it a lot, but it doesn't seem to be that similar.

Vcrpy is closer to an automock, where you create tests that hit external services, so vcrpy records them and replays for subsequent tests. You write the tests.

Here you don't write tests at all, just use the app. The tests are automatically created.

Similar ideas, but at a different layer.

Thanks for sharing this. :)

Hetzner might get a lot of love here but it's another service that treats protonmail users as second class citizens since they ask for ID. I would avoid them just because of this.

hetzner asks for ID if you use your own domain too

A theory I've heard of why this happens is that Europeans are generally suspicious because there is a lot of international trauma considering Europe was the center of two World Wars, both relatively recently. The US on the other hand didn't have that imprinted in its collective memory.
