I self-host and use ntfy for several use cases on top of just notifications (which it does really well and without fail). I built a clipboard sync tool that uses ntfy as the backend, and use it to control Tasker on my phone from Node Red (things like going into "night mode" when there's no motion in the living areas of my house after a certain time).

Used Gotify for this for a while but ntfy's topics makes separting functionality easier and ntfy supports UnifiedPush without any additional proxy rules.

When mountain biking, yes I put sunscreen on at least the back of my neck, tops of my knees, and forearms if I'm out mid day. But mostly I try to be on trail near sunrise for cooler temps and less sun exposure. When out on the water or spending the day in the sun I wear a wide brim hat and a long sleeve sun shirt and put sunscreen on my nose and neck. I try to minimize my sunscreen usage because of the sketchy chemicals but still can't live without it in some cases.

This spring I was applying for jobs so I answered my phone for more unknown numbers than usual. This has lead to a huge increase in spam calls that I receive on a daily basis and Google Phone's spam filter isn't strict enough for my liking (not to mention no longer available since I'm running GrapheneOS).

If you're an Android and Tasker user you can take matters into your own hands and set Tasker as your call screen app. There are two different blocking types, one shows that you missed a call as a notification and one does not. I have set it so that all non-contact calls are rejected but I see a missed call notification. I also have a contact with a growing list of numbers that is rejected and I do not see a notification. Additionally there is a regex filter that rejects several area codes without a notification.

When I start seeing more spam calls from a random area code in Michigan (or wherever), I just add that area code to my regex filter and then just have to worry about clearing my voicemail at the end of the day.

If I'm expecting a call from a doctor or someone who is not a contact in my phone, I just turn off the profile and deal with some spam for a day.

Of course, I would love some strict regulations around this, but I do no expect the legislation to go far enough or be effective (I'm in the US).

Sounds similar to this paper [0] that compared the types of dietary fats eaten with cognitive decline in adults 65+.

"higher intakes of saturated fat (p for trend = 0.04) and trans-unsaturated fat (p for trend = 0.07) were linearly associated with greater decline in cognitive score over 6 years. These associations became stronger in analyses that eliminated persons whose fat intake changed in recent years or whose baseline cognitive scores were in the lowest 15%."

I, for one, am hoping it's largely to do with cheap, high-calorie ingredients and not to do with actually processing as I'm a big fan of Soylent (largely monounsaturated fats FYI) for its convenience and it doesn't get much more "processed" than that.

Same. After Google Reader I went with Feedly for a while, then self-hosted TTRSS, and currently self-hosted Miniflux. Miniflutt is my preferred Android client and ReadKit on Mac. The Miniflux web app is nice and simple but I prefer clients that mark as read on scroll.

I occasionally venture onto Reddit or HN to see if I've missed anything big but rarely do.

Been using an M2 Pro for a week (16GB RAM, 256GB SSD), absolutely cannot tell. Large dependency installs (node, go, c++, python) are insanely fast, docker builds are fast, everything is just fast.

#2 really nails the root of the issue. #3 is big too, you can save a lot of money and time and still get basically the same value by recognizing the diminishing returns in any domain.

Regex Buddy was a life saver when I worked in document capture (ocr, classify, extract from documents). I like Patterns on Mac but it's not quite as powerful.

Dockerized Miniflux as well. Light on resources, quick, plenty of features without being bloated, and the fetching of article content works with the default selectors for most sites.

I use Miniflutt on Android instead of the PWA mainly for the mark-as-read on scroll functionality (which I contributed because it's a must-have feature for me). About the only feature I find missing is a global regex blocklist which I may put in a PR for as well.

Linkding is my current favorite self-hosted solution in this genre. Used Pocket for a long time but like the tagging and minimal looks of linkding better.

I am in CO and saw one ad that had a link to a special page on their website to "comply" with this regulation. It was a blanket statement that salary can be between $20k (can't remember the low end but it was something like that) and $1MM based on position and experience. I was very put off by that and did not apply. I didn't take the time to look into the legality of using a blanket statement like that but it seems sketchy to me.

I'm someone who is likely your target candidate and I just went through the hiring process so here are my thoughts without seeing an example ad post (which you should link to):

- There are a ton of job openings right now in DevOps and similar roles. I spent about 2 days applying to as many as I could and that filled my entire next couple weeks with interviews/tasks. I went through interviews, received offers, and chose one all from those two days of applying, so unless a candidate sees your offer early in their search that could be a source of low application volume.

- Is the fact that it's a fully remote position prominent in your postings? I personally only applied for positions I could tell were fully remote at a glance.

- Put the salary range in the posting. I am way more likely to apply if I know ahead of time that it's going to be worth my time.

- Are you strict on coding languages? I am pretty flexible but still have my favorites. If you're C#, I'm out (no offense to those who like it, I started out my career in the .NET world and ended up feeling trapped there and I'm not going back).

- How quick are your turnarounds from application submission and interviews? Lots of companies are moving quickly to get people through the hiring process and if you're not then you'll be passed up for other companies.

The length is n+1 and contains all ints 1 through n, so there can only be a single duplicate.

Been running it for years with a mariadb database. It's rock solid and they keep up well with the mainline features.

I do this all the time. Cmd+tab into browser, cmd+t, cmd+v, cmd+a, cmd+c, cmd+w, cmd+tab to where I need to paste, cmd+v

But now that I've seen you can add shift to remove formatting, I'll have to try to remember to do that instead.

I picked up a RB750 and a TP-Link AP several years back to enhance my networking knowledge. Took me several days of trial, error, and figuring out the right search terms to get a network like you described. I enjoyed the process but it's not for everyone.

But for about $130 the speed and stability blows away any equivalent-priced consumer technology with the added bonus of being much more configurable.

I used to consult in the document capture space (OCR, classification, data extraction) and one company I worked for wanted to sell UiPath. I showed them how I could do all of that in code (even built a wrapper around AutoHotkey for Windows UI interaction) with way less time, effort, and hair pulling. They said it wouldn't sell because businesses think they can have someone implement a low code solution and they'll take it over eventually, and a significant portion of their revenue is from licenses.

I luckily no longer consult and now am an automation engineer for a company and I get to build things the way I want. So far a lot of Go and a little bit of Node and things are great. I'll take that any day over "We sell X, so you use X for everything."

That said, for home automation I do use Node Red and absolutely love it. The integration with Home Assistant is top notch and prototypes and tweaks take no time at all. It's much more like functional programming than a lot of low code tools and the function node allows for whatever JS you want. So if I need to do something complicated that would take a ton of individual nodes and spaghetti to work natively, I can just drop in some code and move on.

I highly recommend adding the IzzyOnDroid repository. It's mainly FOSS apps that don't have an f-droid build and new releases are pulled straight from GitHub/GitLab releases, adding over 800 apps to F-Droid.

Some other honorable mentions I haven't seen yet

- Fennec (Firefox) - DAVx5 - Gotify-UP - Joplin - Link Eye - Wormhole William

I still have a USB floppy drive that came with a Vaio laptop from the early 2000s. I've only ever used it once just to test that it worked but have held onto it for fun.

I'm with you, I fall asleep to blackness and it's instantly morning. When my kids were babies and we were getting up a lot in the night to feed and change diapers I actually had an uptick in awareness of my dreams, but otherwise it is extremely rare for me to be conscious of anything during the night.

Yeah I liked my sandwiches smashed and soggy. On the occasions where I'm going to be dirt bagging for a week or so, I'll still take a whole loaf of bread and make it all into PBJs (and stuff them back in the bread bag) to eat throughout the week. It's usually in the winter so I'm not too worried about mold.

I use the Privacy Redirect [1] extension to redirect Twitter to nitter [2] which is a much better experience for someone without an account.

Haven't tried this yet but it mentions using nerdctl which does support compose.

I've been happy with the ZHA implementation and haven't tried z2mqtt. I am much happier with zwavejs than the old implementation, though.

I do run MQTT for a few wifi devices and communication between node red and custom client code on my laptop/desktop.

My wife and I got one this spring and use it for most dinners now and love it. Quick, easy to clean, and the kitchen doesn't get near as hot as compared to the oven.

One of my favorite things we make with it is refried beans. Makes canned refrieds taste like dog food.

Nextcloud is pretty great. I use it for file storage/sharing, contacts, calendar, and notes. There is a way to run a GDocs clone on it as well but I have no need for an office suite.

Same. My wife gave birth last year at 26 weeks. 3 months in the NICU was over $1MM and that doesn't even include the delivery. We were extremely fortunate that my wife works and has good insurance because I had just been laid off a couple weeks prior. We were big proponents of a medicare-for-all-like system before all that, and even bigger proponents now.

I've never heard of people eating cicadas, but I did have a dog when I was growing up who would catch them out of mid air and eat them. It was impressive to watch but the sound of them buzzing around in his mouth and then being squished to death in his throat still grosses me out.

Phone (Pixel 3a), minimal wallet (Machine Era Co), dog poo bags (handy for more than just your dog's excrement).
