I wish business “journalists” would stop calling these 10 year old companies “startups”.

It’s like calling that 10-12 year old kid who was still breastfeeding on Game of Thrones “my baby”.

They did this with Uber, AirBnb, & Spotify as well.

If we can copy/paste an image, surely we can also do so for a source link.

In addition to the recommendations you're getting already, I recommend learning about Borg Backup. It has great documentation.

https://www.borgbackup.org/

Borgmatic is a project that makes automatic backups easier with Borg.

If you want a GUI for your personal machines there is Vorta.

I've used Borg for years now and test my restores every year. Which reminds me… I should do that more often. 😅

Bookshop.org also has a DRM-free search filter and shares profits with local bookstores.

Also check out BazQux. Presents as a Fever API endpoint so it works with many RSS clients like Unread or NetNewsWire.

Self-hosters should know about FreshRSS.

The first season had the TV execs meddling to make it be like ST:TNG because they wanted to mimic the popular thing at the time.

The writer got his way starting in season 2 and got to tell his story without the meddling.

Yes it gets better is what I’m saying. 🙂

Ward Cunningham has written a federated wiki.

Love it.

While folks are thinking about git commit messages I will offer this.

My only criticism of the essay is that the most important bit is listed at number 7.

Another favorite is when the API barfs a stacktrace instead of valid JSON.

I learned there's an actual phenomenon called, Gell-Mann Amnesia, that speaks to this phenomenon.

There are forks of Nix. Perhaps you might like Lix.

This comic reminds me of the edits people do on short form video like TikTok to make a video end on the same beat that began it.

Not quite the same though. Making a tight loop rather than actual recursion.

Have the upvote and enjoy. :)

This made my day. Put a big grin in it.

I use Infuse and have found it to be nice. I wish it supported music though.

Borgmatic is an automation tool for Borg. It has hooks for database backups.

Those are some beautiful pens. Thanks for sharing.

Not yet. 🙂

That is definitely true. And it is also true that YouTubers and other tech news outlets have been promising that new battery tech will make EVs work just like gas cars and you won’t have to suffer any inconvenience or trade offs. Just wait a few years and all the problems will go away. Or maybe it will be hydrogen again this year.

Meanwhile progress is a slow grind that gets better incrementally every year. Real step changes are pretty rare. But not according to headlines.

I’m happy with the progress and cheer for more. But am going to continue to be skeptical of the “game changers” until they show up in the market and prove themselves out.
