I really enjoyed Fair Play. While we didn't really prescribe to playing the game rigorously or really start keeping track of cards, it was a great read for our relationship and really made both of us look at how we lived our lives and acted in our relationship. We immediately made some small but lasting pivots that removed unneeded friction and now have new-found respect for each others daily "grind".

I've recommended it to a few friends and they have had similar stories. Nothing life changing, but some small, nice changes to the dynamic and how they think about it.

> WHO IS IN SPACE is a project created by Destin Sandlin of Smarter Every Day and Geoff Barrett.

Neat. Destin has a great talk that he gave to/at NASA about Artemis a few years ago.

It reminds of one of the later scenes from Secret Life of Walter Mitty when Sean (photographer) decides not to take a picture of the elusive snow leopard in front of them.

> Walter Mitty: Are you going to take it?

> Sean O'Connell: Sometimes I don't. If I like a moment, for me, personally, I don't like to have the distraction of the camera. I just want to stay in it.

> Walter Mitty: Stay in it?

> Sean O'Connell: Yeah. Right there. Right here.

Missing FCA (Glacier international airport in Kalispell, Montana, USA).

It's small but a beautiful flight!

A huge ecosystem of third party accessories, cases, skins, etc.

The openness is easily worth it.

I had no idea others hit this, I just assumed it was some wonky setup I have locally. I hope we both figure it out one day haha (or Firefox does)

> Sometimes, these redirect URLs take a perceivable amount of time to load, which is very irritating.

Great. On top of my on-going battle with Windows + Firefox + DNS/TLS resolution sometimes stalling for seconds at a time, another few second server-side stall is introduced.

I swear that every day modern computing scenarios get slower and slower instead of snappier and snappier.

I am also not using anything near an industrial PSU. I am using cheap ($20) "5V" DC barrel chargers from Amazon (similar to a shabby laptop charger).

Are you sure you aren't a clanker? You seemed to have missed some critical details from my short post.

Mostly unrelated, but I (mostly Copilot) spent some time re-authoring a software stack of HUB75 displays in our office with rotating pixel art. A previous team set them up on a overly-complex stack that relied on a bunch of services that haven't existed for years, getting them stuck in place for the last few years.

While I found the hardware pretty simple, HUB75 displays seem _very_ picky about over-volting. The setup is basically a simple controller (such as ESP32-Trinity) plugged directly into one HUB75 (potentially chained to a few more).

When running off of USB power it pulls the voltage down to ~4.7v and the image looks great. When running off our junky Amazon 5v barrel connectors the image gets all sorts of artifacting. Quite frustrating!

Anyhow, I can't recommend HUB75 displays enough. Toss some retro pixel art on there and it is such a nice little picture frame sized treat!

> As an aside, I recently started having Claude help me with configuring my *arr stack and it has helped tremendously. I used to have to babysit and manually intervene on maybe 10% of requests, now it’s near zero

Any more details here? I hit this a lot and it's not too much work, but still pretty annoying.

I didn't see any details in the article other than this quote, which seems promising.

> He’s the guy who sits with the new kids at lunch and passes it on.

Slanted take here, but this is exactly what they are doing with the federal government.

They like to complain that "big government inefficient and bad" while actively making it inefficient and bad. They are fulfilling their own prophecies.

Similar to immigration I'm sure. If all immigration is illegal then it's all bad!

No, but it also doesn't not support the Polar (the wet feeder I use). A good starting point though, thanks for the link!

This is giving me the confidence to RE my cat feeder. The company (Petlibro) has an outage and now my chilled wet feeder that should be a dumb, offline feeder is basically bricked now.

The device reports fine wifi but the backing services are totally busted.

I was a few years late to the start (early 90s kid) but I am nostalgic for the vast amount of myfreewebs + dot.tk websites out there.

Hit counters on the front page was mandatory of course.

And how much they (like all other social media) put their mobile web experience into limp mode for no good reason.

This website reminds of me a small site I want to make.

For years I have taken pictures of bathroom sinks. My main curiosity with them is the crazy variance of proportions and layout of the bowl and the faucet(s). It all started because there are so many sinks where you basically have to touch the sink bowl just to wash your hands because of the faucet choice. So I want to make a similar website which shows the bathroom sinks of the world!

Seattle to Joburg is brutal. It's ~23 hours of flying with a lay over somewhere like Dubai. As much as a 23 hour flight sounds terrible, it's hard for me to express how much dread I felt getting back onto a plane right after a 13 hour flight. I'd rather just hunker down for the full day I think.

off topic: Is the sentry banner at the top of the blog an ad? It seems to be, but it's also embedded fairly naturally and uBlock isn't blocking it.

Am I so used to shit-tier ads that a "tasteful" ad confuses me?

Quite the generous timeline on this person's behalf.

New Zealand allows you to book three seats in a row and covert it to a bed which seems like a nice alternative.

Well, they _had_ 465 employees...

Why not use passkeys in LastPass? Then the passkey travels with you to your devices/apps.

A fun idea. I've been playing with all sorts of ideas for static websites and trying to figure out ways to make them feel more "live".

I was wondering about the heartbeat updates and replaying the data in "real-time" the next day is a really nice touch and allows a single deployment a day.

Right to watch five YouTube videos on how to fix my horrid soldering job.

I wouldn't trade it for the world though, we need more tinkering.

I'd love to see a view with all/many trains. In London I was constantly wondering what the criss-cross of underground lines looked like.

TempleOS was largely written in HolyC, a C/C++ JIT'd hybrid.

Very neat things from Terry Davis, it's too bad mental health is not taken as seriously as it could be in our society.

Value is in the eye of the beholder.

I open source my vibing projects because someone might find them useful. I don't shop them around, I just work in the open because I find it fun and interesting.

I personally find the barrier of starting new (FOSS) projects much lower now days.
