I've gone hybrid for todo lists. Handwritten in GoodNotes on iPad. Seems to give me the best of both worlds - better memory retention that comes from physically writing stuff down, but with search and copy/paste functionality.

Current side project is an API for holding event/venue data.

My own use case is a ticketmaster-style service for small venues and free gigs, but I'm trying to keep it flexible enough for the same API to be used across multiple services.

I'm in the UK and mostly work with UK domains, so I became a Nominet registrar a couple of years ago, so now I manage my own domains and DNS servers.

I currently own about 220 domains, of which I'm actively using about 10 and have plans for maybe 20 more.

When I was 25 I quit because my current role wasn't giving me any more opportunity to progress, and I'd just sold a house after a relationship ended, so I had the financial freedom to coast for a few months for another opportunity. I spent about 6 months working in a bar, which paid considerably less but was a lot of fun. I ended up going back into tech within a year or so, but the experience helped me appreciate the balance between pay and enjoyment a lot more.

In short, it's worth taking a pay cut for a less stressful, more enjoyable job, provided the pay cut doesn't introduce another avenue of stress into your personal life.

Sadly not. Seeding is entirely down to individual instances and their own redundancy policy.

I suspect the issue is that PeerTube is getting a NAT IP instead of properly determining its own external IP, which is causing problems streaming when it tries to get back to the origin. I'm pretty sure it's a simple enough fix, I just need to take a look at it in the light of day.

That's interesting, thanks for the heads up. I'll do a bit of experimenting to see if I can replicate with some less popular videos which aren't likely to have a redundant copy anywhere.

PeerTube.co.uk admin here. Your video alerted me to the fact that my view stats aren't working properly - I've had over 1000 visits today, usual is less than 100. Most of those have your video as the entry point, but those numbers aren't reflected on your view count. Thanks for being the first video that's been popular enough to highlight this!

Wake 90 minutes before work. Snooze the alarm repeatedly until an hour before work. Quick shower and dress. Leave the house 40 minutes before work. Either listen to a podcast or contemplate life as I walk my two mile commute. Get to work and drink a glass of water. First coffee of the day about half an hour after I get to work.

I fill the washing up bowl (or just the sink for the Americans) with hot water while my food is cooking. This has quite a few advantages:

1. It breaks the psychological barrier of actually starting the task of washing up, and because I'm doing other things, I don't feel like I'm waiting around for the water.

2. Dishes created during the cooking process can be cleaned quickly as they're used, without interrupting my flow. That means there's no daunting pile of dishes at the end of the meal.

3. When you finish eating, the water is already there ready for use. It's a simple dunk and wipe which is almost as quick as dumping the plates on the side.

We can easily narrow down the correct answer to "none of the above", which leaves 5 or 6. But since 5 is above 6 and is a correct answer, 6 cannot be correct. So it must be 5.

A combination. For any preordered domains, I poll the domain until it drops and automatically register it using the API. Each day I'll review upcoming drops for the next day for anything I want to chase myself, and also review the drops from the previous day for any that weren't worth chasing but are worth manual registration.

Not entirely passive, but I'm a Nominet registrar and buy/sell domains as my side gig. For the most part, this involves taking preorders for domains which have expired and are about to drop, then trying to catch them when they do. I also hold my own domain portfolio which currently consists of just over 200 domains. I generally have an idea for how to develop most of these, but I'm mostly just holding them until I get time to work on them.

Depending on what's dropping, my earnings from the domain side can vary drastically. It usually covers its own costs, and my best month so far (I only started in April this year) earned me around £1000

Most likely rate limits

I bought a few themes from https://themes.getbootstrap.com. You'll need to do a bit of work to shoehorn them into your CMS of choice but it's not that hard.

It might not have been a toy in the Fisher-Price sense of the word, but in 1998 it was only a couple of years into the mainstream, and had a long history of being the preserve of geeks and hobbyists. Big business was only just starting to take it seriously, and even then, not particularly so.

A combination of:

- A shared Outlook.com calendar where we (well, mostly my wife) puts social events and commitments - Hugo/git as a general KB for work related stuff - Microsoft Teams as a day-to-day journal and tracking of personal projects. - Standard Notes / VS Code as a text-only scratchpad.

I created a Hugo site to keep everything in. It allows me to keep the speed of quick, simple capture in VS Code, but also presents the content nicely and makes it permanently available wherever I am.

Your bank most certainly can help - the Direct Debit Guarantee is very clear that "If an error is made in the payment of your Direct Debit, by the organisation or your bank or building society, you are entitled to a full and immediate refund of the amount paid from your bank or building society" - it doesn't matter if the bank believe Sky notified you, they are the ones bound by the guarantee to refund. That doesn't stop Sky from sending you a separate bill for the service, but your bank MUST refund immediately if you ask them.

Be persistant, and if they still refuse, use the secret magic words: "So is that the banks final stance on this request, or is there another level you need to escalate my complaint to before I can contact the ombudsman?"

Of course, the flip side is that you could pick up sutra.com for $1000 today, but when getsutra.com is big and you need to buy it, it'll be $100,000

Maybe it was the computers idea?

Speech is a God given right. Nobody can stop you from saying anything you like, but that doesn't extend to inviting you to share that belief with the student body of your local school. The school are absolutely free to refuse to allow you to use their podium if they don't like what you have to say.

Equally, you have every right to set up a website to say whatever you want. That doesn't mean the people who provide the infrastructure behind that website have to continue to host your platform, it doesn't mean other peoples internet providers have to allow access to your website, and it doesn't mean search providers have to list your website in their results.

Freedom of speech worked really well when the largest audience you could get was the people in your local tavern, but it doesn't scale to a global internet without some adjustment. Just like your other example of the right to self defence - the idea of taking arms against a tyrannical government made perfect sense when everybody had muskets, but it doesn't really scale when the tyrannical government has drones and nukes.

$50 for a bug sweeping device that I can use anywhere? Sure, that's cheap enough for what would basically be a toy.

$50 a time for somebody to sweep my room? Nope. If somebody really wants to know what I get up to in a hotel room, more fool them.

Because using a 1992 calendar in 2020 would be pretty cool.

I wonder how many of those tabs are affiliate links?

Maybe, the point is not to make it easy. Maybe the point is to make you think "Hey, there's no safe way for me to navigate through 10 different screens to get to my GPS while I'm driving. Maybe I should pull over and do that instead?"

Currently either Standard Notes or a self hosted instance of VS Code on my home server.

$10/month is at the high end of what I'd consider paying for a note app - that's more than Microsoft Office. $2.50 is a bargain, but I don't want to pay for 5 years at once (although I can certainly understand the reasoning behind that model). $4-5 (OP's app or notion.so) is right on the money for what I'd expect to pay for this kind of tool.
