I built a website to organise my images and videos from a recent trip to Egypt. https://deepspaceplace.com/egypt/ It's a must visit destination if you get the chance.

I don't use containers. I just use systemd / systemctl to run the go apps. I manually update Debian on a schedule I keep. For logs I just ship them to my own app I developed that s…

This is interesting. I just fixed a Github issue where the code did not handle Em-Dash correctly. Ran some queries to check the stats there. No surprises: https://deepspaceplace.co…

This is similar to what I do. Linode, Debian, Go, HTMX, SQLite (with modernc.org/SQLite so I have no CGO dependency) and Caddy. If I have apps that need a lot of storage, I just ad…

It might not be as easy as you think if the system has somehow survived without an upgrade for decades. Who knows, maybe it's that ancient? Back in the day I worked on CODASYL styl…

I remember back in the day when Ingress was the cool kid (running on HP-UX at our shop I think). Almost overnight there was a fork in the road and everyone went to either Orcale or…

Probably should update the title to say the article was written by Steve Wozniak.

Congrats - this is awesome. I'm enjoying lots of new songs that got recommended.

It's permissionless, as in no reporting transactions over $10k to the government, no ID checks to create an account, no names and addresses in the "global transaction log" etc. Tha…

As a counterpoint to this I hate it when data is treated like code. Need to create a new cost center? Raise a change request. Get an IP addressed added to a list in a firewall? CR.…

Via an in-game purchase perhaps?

I can't tell from your tone if you are joking or not. I hope you are? Your utopia sounds a lot like Brave New World to me.

Police roadblocks to test for drugs and alcohol (aka booze bus) also show up as red on google maps.

That deal was signed by Annastacia Palaszczuk, the State Labour premier, not the federal government.

87% with no false positives. In my view many of these are not what I consider English ‘words’ - plant names, trade marks and archaic words. Still fun though.

Any mention of Delphi always brings back fond memories of my first job. We were doing amazing things with Clipper at the time, with a bit of Turbo Pascal on the side. Then windows …

I just used Google Maps to get to work this morning using Apple Car Play - it's awesome. There were a few annoying errors in Apple maps on my daily route that I won't have to deal …

It's not only Apple that is regressing. calc.exe crashes at startup my Win 10 machine 50% of the time. It needs a remote procedure call to work now. Activation of application Micro…

Unless you get divorced and lose half. Divorce twice? Now you 're in really big trouble. What if you die before retirement? You have made the mandatory payments, but got nothing fo…

That's a totally valid use case. Bitcoin can be many things simultaneously.

This is very cool. I'm told you can see Mt Fuji from Tokyo on a clear day, but I never managed to see it. I did manage to see Mont Blanc from my Kitchen in Lausanne, Switzerland a …

What a great story - and now I know about Lubbock, TX. Google street view has confirmed the authors' opinion.
