Any deaf/HoH person who has tried to do lipreading could have told you all of this too.

Good luck on the project!

I mean.. you sound like a very awesome HOA board member! :)

This is neat. I'm deaf, so I have to write people all the time with big text. I have a mobile app that does this, but it's neat you have something web based. Thanks for this. I'm going to self-host it as I can see a lot of use and I don't want to spam your servers.

Thanks!

Your link is from over 10 years ago. I can't find any newer information on it persisting. Perhaps they turned it off after they got caught? Or perhaps it was an outage or some thing and not actual filtering? I don't know.

All email providers have issues now and again.

I'm not saying they aren't doing it, but if they are, nobody seems to be complaining or upset about it except those few in that forum from over a decade ago.

I use Migadu(migadu.com), but Apple's iCloud email hosting is basically tailor fit to your expectations, so I don't have any idea why you don't use it.

But you can host your own email too. It's not the easiest option, but it can be done, and there has been some newer email server software written that tries to make it easier.

Yes, let's hope it doesn't get even more expensive. Around here we are purposely not upgrading hardware unless we have to, hoping to ride through the price increases. I'm sure lots of people are doing the same thing, which probably won't help much once prices start to come back down... assuming they do.

> Ah, memories of Uni, back when storage was fairly expensive, where we had both hard and soft quotas.

Don't worry, disk got expensive again. Disks are usually at least 2X more expensive than a year ago currently. Sometimes 3X more.

Looks like the address is 2918 mission, still no apartment complex there according to web maps, though the laundromat building is demolished it seems. So perhaps by 2034, a good 20 years since the start of the project.

Sounds like the sign of a badly run department. If they can't have some continuity/consistency, people will build less because it's a hassle and their community will eventually suffer.

you might get screwed on regulatory compliance, it just depends on your local govt and how much they want to screw you.

It's got to suck to do the inspectors job. Having to keep up with whatever the code creators come up with, while also getting abused by every home owner and contractor in the area because they hate X,Y or Z. While trying to dodge political leverage from elected officials trying to get whatever pet mess they want done.

It's not a job I'd want, and I bet they get paid trash to boot.

Code compliance and inspections exist for a reason, and if you are lucky, the current inspector/code compliance dept in your local govt realizes it's to ensure the building doesn't fall down around your ankles when you least expect it and not to screw you over.

100%.

You can put in an awning or covered walkway between the buildings. You can even do a fully enclosed, fully climate controlled hallway with lots of windows and doors out to the yard, etc. Just depends on how much you want to pay and your imagination.

I've seen some properties where they build ponds underneath the indoor hallway with glass flooring to see the fish and stuff in the pond. Obviously wild things like that cost a bit more then a simple awning or covered walkway.

Not Montana apparently. They don't even have an HVAC contractor license anymore that I can find.

Calibre does this for you and has for a long time. Docs: https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/news.html

I used to read lwn.net from my e-reader, worked great.

I don't think so? I mean they certainly lack ethics, but I think it's a point of pride thing, and not a we should at least pretend sort of thing.

Oracle at least pretends to care about ethics, and already has the position.

Or maybe Oracle.

It will be interesting to see how this works out in practice. Personally I don't see much use from it, but I'll give it a try after it ships and see how it works in practice.

Seems like we are trying to solve 2 problems at the same time with SCROLL:

* Database sync of log events. * "Real" time updates.

Webhooks can already mostly handle the "real-time" event portion. Of course there are problems. as the article expounds on, but a lot of those won't magically get solved with other solutions either. Distributed real-time communication is hard. Webhooks are good enough for this purpose.

For the database of log events, personally I'd rather just have a SQLite DB I can yank whenever. Don't give me CSV or JSON or whatever I have to parse and manage, just give me a SQLite DB ready to go. I'd love you for it. I'll just take a whole fresh copy with everything thanks. Maybe you limit it to to the last X events, say 90 days or 365 days or whatever, depending on sizing of events, but just send it all every time I fetch and I'm happy enough. If I need to generate a delta to keep some other DB in sync, well that's my problem. Just give every row a stable identifier.

Depends on the VC. Some VC's are happy to own great businesses, even long term. Most are definitely vultures after a quick turn around. Mostly it has to do with where the VC gets their funding. Most VC's get their funding from offering a fund with a 2-5 year time-frame. Some are 10 yr funds, and some are long-term funds or are funded by a family office or two, which can be happy with great businesses long term.

Yes, though it wouldn't have to be in Python. APE/Cosmopolitan can work with many/most languages, not just Python.

My advice: Just use SQLite. Don't use PG if you don't need it. I mean PG is awesome. I use it all the time, but I also use SQLite all the time too.

SQLite is also a replacement for fopen()[0]. if you need to read/write data files, I recommend using SQLite instead. Replace your CSV's with SQLite, etc.

Yes, I'm sure the WASM binary for PG has a big perf hit. If you are just using it for testing, it probably doesn't matter?

Why does the perf hit matter to you? Are you trying to run WASM binaries of PG in production? That seems like a terrible idea.

> The important distinction is that self-contained doesn’t mean one binary that runs everywhere...does it?

That's what Cosmopolitan/APE does though, and they deliver a python:

* Source: https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/

* Python Binary: https://cosmo.zip/pub/cosmos/bin/python which is ~ 40MB.

Not PG no. At least not yet. I wonder if they can get WASM to work, which seems to be working roughly the same problem from a totally different starting point and perspective. I'm pretty sure PG binaries for WASM do exist though.

There is also the APE/Cosmopolitan cross platform binaries, which includes a python. Yes, cross platform binaries. The binaries run "natively on Linux + Mac + Windows + FreeBSD + OpenBSD 7.3 + NetBSD + BIOS with the best possible performance and the tiniest footprint imaginable."

* Python Source: https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/tree/master/third_party...

* Python Binary: https://cosmo.zip/pub/cosmos/bin/python which is ~ 40MB.

Apparently you can zip your .py files in with the python binary and make it run, but I haven't had a chance to try and play with that yet.

Neat, I haven't heard of/tried NetBird yet. Always more stuff out there to tinker with!

Interesting! I use it only occasionally, but I don't leave the connection on. I only turn the iOS Tailscale connection on when I need to access resources behind Tailscale.

Are you having issues with it when it's always connected?

> And we only use Tailscale as a glorified VPN, we don't use their hundreds of extra random features like this SSH one.

Same, you are not alone. The Tailscale VPN stuff just works. None of their competitors can claim this that I'm aware of. We tried several other products and none of them were as reliable and 'just worked'. I imagine they spend a lot of time just keeping that stuff working.

That generally turns out to be the same thing as me, just said more succinctly. I agree with your thinking.

Sort of True-ish. There are lots of different kinds of ownership. Ownership with little to no say in how things are run to ownership with basically all the control.

If you are an owner with all the control, i.e. you are on the board or in corporate leadership(CEO/CFO/etc), then hey guess what,there is a really great cell here at the local prison just waiting for you, depending on how involved you were.

If you are an owner with little to no control, i.e. most shareholders that just vote for the board, etc. The assets would get liquidated, bond/debt holders would get paid back, and then anything left over would go to these shareholders.

This would incentivize shareholders to care more about what they are owning, this is a good thing. Even if it's pension funds and individual retirement accounts. This would get sorted pretty quickly as soon as the new normal is known and adjusted for.

SpaceX for example just went public, but if you read the docs, the control was not given to the public. Elon Musk 100% controls SpaceX still. Even if every public shareholder unanimously agrees against Elon Musk, guess what happens? Elon Musk still gets his way.

I don't know what the parent comment was thinking, but to my mind, the ones with the most control get the worst of the consequences. So Pension Funds/etc that hold little to no control would get paid out before those with more control.
