Is there a similar thing but for organising images? I have a bunch of image folders on my NAS but I would love it to be searchable, automatically tagged by certain criteria so I can filter them, etc. But self-hosted. I don't want to use Google Photos or Dropbox.
Only point of contention is that it's missing the Zones information, so that people are aware of the ticketing costs.

Haven't tried this desktop app yet, but WhatsApp web already shows notifications, at least using Chrome.

I would follow-up one more time, if the place is somewhere where you really want to work. Many people get busy and things slip, especially when dealing with email.

However, I would also look for other internships in the meantime.

Missing the doctype. Some people who would like to use this site would be on some outdated browsers that would break without a doctype :(

I cleaned up the code a bit and created a PR. It isn't my project, however I thought it was interesting and warranted a discussion on HN. Thanks for the input.

Fair enough. Choose the lesser of all evils. Tells us a lot about humanity and what it has come to. Sad though isn't it.

I had to read your comment a few times to make sure I was getting the gist of it correctly. Here's what I understood: you are advocating cyber warfare, and are a big fan of it. I understand your point about handling the situation with no loss of life. Great. But advocating war, even if it's cyber war? Wow.

Have you given a thought to this scenario: while deploying the virus, they made a mistake in their code, that leads to a nuclear meltdown causing an explosion, destroying millions of lives and causing a worldwide phenomenon.

Or how about the drone version cyber warfare mentioned by one of the commenters below?

Or let's say the stuxnet virus fell into the hands of a malicious party and they modified it to take down the national grid. Can you imagine the number of accidents that would cause?

Or maybe I'm just a fool and totally misunderstood your comment.

What would the advantage of this be versus using the picture tag with your own image sources hosted on a CDN? (Let's assume picture tag is widely supported for now)
