ArchiveBox swag is now available! 👕🧢✨ All proceeds go towards supporting open source development. swag.archivebox.io

it’s fun when @sweeting.me comes over because it’s the only time i get to chaotically switch between english, chinese, and spanish

🎥 @sweeting.me on the importance of decentralized internet archiving efforts like @archivebox.io youtu.be/8QmmV3wPBw8

I got interviewed about ArchiveBox by the lovely team over on the Changelog Podcast! Check it out:

Migrating @ArchiveBox.io (aka @ArchiveBoxApp) over to Bsky too! bsky.app/profile/arch...

Started migrating to Bsky today! History should appear in the next few days. (Will probably be on both platforms for a bit still though.)

👀 when ya'll meditate, where do you tend to focus your eyes? (while closed)

has anyone tried making multiplayer pacman? A bunch of real people operating the ghosts in a groupchat who try to team up to beat a real human playing as pacman?

Man it's really annoying that python's otherwise-awesome pathlib.Path breaks in a bunch of cases where os.access works fine. Path().is_dir(), .is_file(), .exists() all unecessarily call .stat() and break occasionally, when os.access(...) or os.path.isdir(), etc. work fine.

Ok this is kind of absurd. I just switched over @ArchiveBoxApp to uv, and it ran our typically ~1 min build+publish in under 2 seconds. It's singlehandedly making me want to stay on python compared to JS. 👏 👏@charliermarsh @astral_sh amazing job

I kinda miss the "Hi this is Visa Mastercard" scam guys anyone still get those calls? I'd just keep trying to ask them "so which one are you?" in different ways for like 30min

Stay far away from @portalbridge_ , I've tried to swap tokens 3 times now and all three times it eats the gas fees, does no swap, and support doesn't help at all.

Finally updated my coding workflow to modern tools, highly recommend if you've been putting it off: - Google Chrome -> Brave - Google Search -> Kagi - Sublime Text -> VSCode - GPT-4o -> Claude 3.5 - Copilot -> Cody + Tabnine - node -> bun - mypy -> pywrigt - Bootstrap -> Ant 5

I'm consistently surpised at how much better Claude 3.5 is at generating code that works on the first try compared to GPT-4o Not a single hallucination in sight...

an interesting counter-argument to using assassination as a tool of foreign policy: autocrats already assume their position entails risk. it disproportionately harms democracies because fewer/worse ppl will run for office when it has higher...

wow you literally cant search the official redis documentation site anymore, they force you to talk to a terrible AI chat bot

I've decided to make all my projects run as if they are in a prod environments by default, at the expense of new dev onboarding ux. I've seen too many prod servers started in insecure dev modes due to missing or broken ENV vars in a yaml file, causing fallback to dev defaults.

Hey @GoPro how is it possible that it's 2024 and your cameras still: - reset the time to 2016 every time you remove the battery - fail to add GPS location to 90% of videos I take - constantly create video files with duplicate names - fail to charge / self-discharge randomly

Expressing gratitude relentlessly, no matter how small the good deed, is such a relationship hack.

These are driving me insane, disabling them in Google Account settings and Chrome settings doesn't work, and they're not part of the page HTML so adblock doesn't work. How do I stop this madness?!

Is it just me or is the iPad CPU comically overpowered? I don't think iOS apps have been CPU constrained in years, and there's an artificial floor on responsiveness imposed by animation delays so they never "feel faster"

Has anyone tried using a bottle of Zbiotics as a starter culture to grow their own? I feel like you could just split a bottle into 4 shot glasses of pocari sweat and have 4 doses of Zbiotics in a few days?

if someone decides to stop talking to you for whatever reason (without saying why) would you rather they block you or ghost you?

I cant wait till we can do full active<->active SQL replication between server & client WASM-based SQLite.js (OPFS) / PGLite. The future is so exciting. Screw redux and all the other state management libs, they've served us well but it's time for SQL on the frontend!

I feel like @stalwartlabs and @SimpleLogin should partner up. It would make self-hosting your own email truly compelling again.

Do you think conscious experiences can be strictly ordered? Here's my take:

once you notice it you can never un-notice it parentheses use in writing correlates 1:1 with stimulant use

why do YouTube channels with <200 subscribers turn comments off on their videos? it seems so rude these discussions are otherwise empty, just 1 or 2 legit comments sometimes. what are they afraid of?

Someone needs to figure out containerizing filesystems. I want to be able to run crazy FUSE or ZFS setups in usermode inside a docker container, and expose them as bin mount volumes to the host, without any --cap-add SYS_ADMIN. Is this theoretically possible someday?

the secret to navigating traffic in a flow state: stare at a spot on the ground ahead of you that you're trying to move toward, and walk forward without looking at anyone, everyone will magically flow around you

Daang, it feels like it's only been 5 or 6 years but I guess time flies on here... I wonder how different my life would be without Twitter

Why do my typos look like: "it's nice to meat you" or meant: "oh jk didnt see the dates" typed: "ok didnt see the dates" It's like I'm speaking my thoughts out loud to a typist in my brain who has memorized every word, but doesn't know what they mean and sometimes mishears me

Hey US @StateDept pay your United Nations bills! It's embarrassing as the richest country on earth to be behind on our bills to an org that does so much for the world.

The more I learn about manufacturing the more impressed I get with LEGO. 0 visible draft angle, crazy repeatable tolerances with no perceptible stack up issues in multi-thousand-part assemblies.

I wonder how much world fertility increased when M1 laptops came out and men stopped frying their balls under hot MacBooks

Learning how to CAD in 3d made me faster at 2d stuff in Figma, not surprising in hindsight but kinda neat benefit

Is there any way to release a native macOS/Windows/Linux application that just bundles an entire VM / docker-compose project inside? I'm fine with my releases being >1GB

helium over here is just casually breaking the laws of thermodynamics does this mean if you put liquid helium in your AC it'll run backwards?

Great job @Tailscale with the #tailscaleup conf today! Met a lot of lovely people and learned a lot about the cool things tsnet can do. Excited to hack on P2P Tailscale in-browser over WebRTC + build some kind of ZFS-over-Tailscale distributed storage system.

Does SGX rely on UEFI for integrity? Is Secure Enclave tech threatened by the MSI secret key leak? I've found some conflicting sources so far.

This is resonant advice that I've heard from so many sources in my career: 95% of the agonizing on distributed systems correctness is overkill, humans are good at manual conflict resolution @inkandswitch: https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first/ @skamille:...

I wasn't paying attention for a couple years but it appears DNS security has finally gotten better. DANE and TLSA seem very promising. https://www.cloudns.net/wiki/article/342/

DOMI JD BECK? New to me but they're absolutely slaying at the midway rn

This is so mean, there's no way I can choose between these

developing the ultimate Russian Nesting Doll mounting system

don't mind me just trying to make some pure sodium

made a little writeup about my 2kwh home battery backup + solar build: https://docs.monadical.com/s/battery-building

Look at this beautiful saddle point. Almost looks fake

Fancy restaurant's obsession with bringing fresh silverware for every dish never ceases to baffle me. Having a pile like this at the end for 2(!) people just seems so wasteful
