Ruthalas··on An example of why RSS is useful and important
Blogtrottr had been working for me for a half dozen years, no fuss.

It's monitized by an ad at the top and bottom of each email.

It also provides an option to send an initial email with the full history of the feed to date.

No affiliation, I just happen to use it.

Ruthalas··on State of the Web: Static Site Generators
This is my use-case (very simple, fully static site- not blog), and I'd love a tool to generate it from markdown. Do you happen to have a recommendation of a simpler tool for that?
Ruthalas··on Are We Really Engineers? (2021)
If the beam is in a critical application, it may have provenance, or a material history, for similar purposes.
Ruthalas··on Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2022 – Show and tell
Offering perpetual licenses is a huge plus in my book, and often drives my purchasing decision. Thank you.
Ruthalas··on Understanding Lego Part Numbers
Ah, thank you!
Ruthalas··on Understanding Lego Part Numbers
Out of curiosity, what is a "sub-Kelvin" temperature? As an absolute scale, isn't it impossible to be off the bottom of that scale?
Ruthalas··on James Dyson answers design questions from Twitter [video]
Does "lumpy" mean "heavy" or "unwieldily" in this case? Or does it not roll smoothly or something like that?
Ruthalas··on A jelly-like material that acts like hard, shatterproof glass when compressed
The pressure to which the tire is inflated affects how much it spreads against the surface it sits on, changing the applied pressure.
Ruthalas··on Mini-ITX Seaberry Adds 11 PCIe Slots to a Raspberry Pi
This would be excellent. That's a great idea.
Ruthalas··on Is my cat Turing-complete?
Can you share the name of that short story?
Ruthalas··on The Max Headroom Incident
Just a heads up, many (all?) of your comments (including this one) show as dead. I vouched for this one. Might want to contact a moderator or something.
Ruthalas··on I built a $5k Raspberry Pi server (yes, it's ridiculous)
This seems thoughtful and accurate, and reflects my own response to the video.
Ruthalas··on Briar 1.4 – Offline sharing, message transfer via SD cards and USB sticks
I use MaterialFiles daily, and had not realized it had that functionality.

Thank you for mentioning it!

Ruthalas··on Copy This Book. An artist’s guide to copyright
Apologies of you've answered this elsewhere, but is the eBook DRM-free?
Ruthalas··on We need more boutique search engines
I have a book that may interest you:

Ruthalas··on 'Speed friending' events
Similarly, all the smaller groups I was part of closed down promptly after the pricing change.

It's not reasonable for small or infrequent gatherings.

Ruthalas··on Fairphone 4 review: ethical repairable phone gets big upgrade
I second this question. If they sold in the US, I'd have one.
Ruthalas··on Activists Are Designing Mesh Networks to Deploy During Civil Unrest
Meshtastic is a good project that seems a bit more mature.

It's designed to run on ESP32 LoRa devices, which are cheap and low power draw.

Ruthalas··on Yt-dlp – A YouTube-dl fork with additional features and fixes
If you feel like chatting with others who also archive YouTube content, consider stopping by my discord server: https://discord.gg/xjj538vD

We maintain a central list [1] of content that various members have archived, such that when content is removed from YouTube, people can direct inquiries to contributors who have archived that content.

It's a small way to keep track of what things have been successfully archived, and occasionally direct efforts to preserve specific content.

Ruthalas··on Yt-dlp – A YouTube-dl fork with additional features and fixes
I suspect it will simply move to being hosted on gitlab or similar. Less discoverable, but likely available.
Ruthalas··on Yt-dlp – A YouTube-dl fork with additional features and fixes
If you use youtube-dlp to download the videos, it can use sponskrub to cut out those sections entirely (or flag them).
Ruthalas··on Google Tensor SoC debuts on the new Pixel 6 this fall
I want to be able to set my phone down on a table and be able to use it without it seesawing and rocking.
Ruthalas··on Show HN: Grow your own with the Raspberry Pi
I did as well, for what it's worth.
Ruthalas··on Even if you’re paying, you’re still the product
Consider also: Sponsor Block
Ruthalas··on Luxury Surveillance
If you can run android apps, consist checking out GadgetBridge. It's an open source source tool that allows syncing a reasonable variety of smart bands.

No affiliation, I just think it's a cool project. It's worked well for my needs.

Ruthalas··on We replaced rental brokers with software and filled 200 vacant apartments
What information did you effectively leave that they theoretically wanted to see? Simply activity on the account, or did you leave incoming pay unredacted?
Ruthalas··on Reverse Engineering the M6 Smart Fitness Bracelet
I can vouch for this tool being excellent!

I use it with a Mi Band 5 very successfully.
