great feedback!

SEO is broken at the moment. With Google Overviews just killing organic SEO, it is becoming less and less relevant, unfortunately.

vegasbrianc··on The Metaverse Is Dead
I find it a decent barometer for how much a topic is being searched for. This is relevant to determining the popularity of a search term, which relates to the popularity of a topic.
vegasbrianc··on The Metaverse Is Dead
Completely agree.
vegasbrianc··on Live Map of Swiss Trains
Switzerland had a similar open source solution a few years ago. Unfortunately, the train operator forced it to shutdown as it was scraping the data from the timetables. Not sure how the new solution works but I hope it sticks around.

Great article. Amazing the publishers first blog post and front page of HN. Well done ;)
vegasbrianc··on Could a DAO Model Be the Key to Rescuing Open Source Funding?
You have some good points. It won't be easy. However, most DAO's the creators of the DAO usually hold the most tokens/voting rights. The DAO itself can be deployed in several different structures which will take a few first movers to lay the framework for what works well. Regarding payments it could be pay to vote or other models which I have seen out in the wild in Web3.

I can envision a proposal mechanism which pulls funds from the DAO pool to fund development for a specific feature.

Thanks for the project links. I will have to check them out.
vegasbrianc··on Monitor Airplane Traffic with a Raspberry Pi
Always room for improvement agreed. I plan on expanding on this further since it is so much easier than previously to get up and running where it took me days to get the container running with everything.

Since I'm in lockdown I have a lot of time on my hands to break out my soldering iron and more hardware. ;)

vegasbrianc··on Why is cycling so popular in the Netherlands?
I moved to the Netherlands from the US and lived there for almost 8 years. I completely adopted the bicycle lifestyle and would love to see more cities/countries adopt the bicycle priority.
vegasbrianc··on Show HN: FaaS – Serverless functions framework for Docker
The Docker FaaS UI and built-in Prometheus metrics is a great way to build a Serverless configuration. Not to mention how easy it is to install and deploy with one command.
