#522Still working on my books site https://thegreatestbooks.org that I started in 2008. It's been a 1 man team the entire time. I recently made some major algorithm changes that I think greatly improves the rankings. My algorithm code is open source https://github.com/ssherman/weighted_list_rank I do plan on open sourcing more of the code over time. I also have started working on other sites using the same algorithm impl…

#523A few months ago I launched SpiesInDC - https://spiesindc.com , a mail-based (as in the real mail) subscription service about Cold War history. Subscribers, ahem secret agents, receive packages every few weeks containing reproductions of famous documents, stanps from the USSR, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, coins, and other fun stuff. I keep refining the packages every week to make it better and it is so much fun.

#524I'm finally getting my online presence in order... This week, I'll set up a Hugo blog with the Ed theme, love it, looks exactly what I'm looking for, and as a former LaTeX enthusiast, it's pretty close. It's readable, minimalist. I'll need to customize the theme, though. I plan to publish blog posts about anything I find interesting. https://gohugo-theme-ed.netlify.app/ In parallel to this work, I'm setting up a simp…

#527I'm building https://zenquery.app — a tool for querying large CSV, JSON, Parquet and Excel files using plain English. No SQL or coding required. As a data engineer, I regularly have to dig through massive files to debug issues or validate assumptions — things like missing column values, abnormally large timestamps, inconsistent types, or duplicate records. It’s tedious and time-consuming, and that’s what led me to bu…
But, can you please add gdrive connection support to it? Our company mainly uses gdrive for all collaboration and would help to have a direct integration with it. As of now I first have to download the files (they are small files, but still).
Great product otherwise. Best wishes..

#528Still working on: an enclosure-compatible open-source version of the 2nd gen Nest thermostat. It reuses the enclosure, encoder ring, display, and mounts of the Nest but replaces the "thinking" part with an open-source PCB that can interact with Home Assistant. - The encoder ring which works like an LED mouse, but in reverse: Fully reverse-engineered and on its own demo PCB - The faceplate PCB, which does the actual c…
Any ideas on how to source 2nd gen Nests? I just checked ebay and my local craigslist; nadda.
Do recyclers accept requests? Like pulling all the Nest units from the waste stream?

Perhaps a first blog entry would be to show and tell how you setup the blog with Hugo+Ed on your domain in the first place.
As someone who is being told that they need to increase their non anonymous footprint online, I certainly would be interested in reading it.
