A lot of these videos get recommended to me, and although I haven't done hardware designs in 10+ years at this point, it's pushing me to get back into it again - and PCBWay lives i…

You can check out the protocol at https://github.com/fairpm/fair-protocol - anything WordPress or Typo3 specific are in the extensions, and the core protocol is self-contained. We'…

An "aggregator" is the thing that discovers and lists repositories - the equivalent of a search engine. Anyone can operate one themselves, and we (the FAIR project) operate a canon…

I think it's understandable for both Backblaze and most users, but surely the solution is to add `.git` to their default exclusion list which the user can manage .

The aggregators can choose who to index, and we operate one at fair.pm - the idea being that you only federate repositories that meet requirements, and can defederate those which a…

Currently the reference implementation is for WordPress, but we’re working to bring it to Typo3 and other software at the moment too. The protocol is comprised of a core plus per-s…

Toni was in fact the adult supervision brought in by Automattic’s board when the company was young and Matt was inexperienced.

This predates the social media laws which only started in December.

A 450kph limit for the rolling stock is great, but how many lines are actually capable of these speeds? There's only a single line (Chengdu–Chongqing, currently under construction)…

I’ve been procrastinating on one as well, but I can recommend the Inkplate devices, which come with a ESP32, battery, and a case (optionally); handy platform to hack on. (If only i…

That's partially due to history: Vimeo was split out of CollegeHumor, and CollegeHumor became Dropout. (Both were part of IAC and were spun out/sold off.)
