I just want an alarm that 1. Starts ringing before the time (ex. 45 mins before, 30, 15, 10, 5, 3, 1, 0) 2. Infinitely snoozable. Haven’t found anything that does both

It seems like a really interesting idea, but yea, reaching critical mass is hard. Having a module instead of a full rewrite would be too big indeed, but the module mentioned in the comments would be a better idea. Sadly having something even half as big as AO3 would be quite the effort to maintain.

Probably not a good idea. A big part is being able to hear when something (like a car) comes up behind you. Bone conductive would be better for that, and can still wear a hat to keep your ears warm, but still hear if there’s any danger. Sanoto is the common brand, Open Run could work as well, but it depends on your location and what’s being sold.

Don’t even need the good looking tbh

Still kinda funny how Nolan croned about historical accuracy, so he borrowed a historic ship for the movie… A historic Viking ship, that is. Also damaged it and is refusing to pay to the non-profit whose ship it is, but that’s just his usual douchebaggery.

Oh, I forgot those were a thing. Ad blocking DNS does wonders

People can have more than one problem. Last time I checked, humans aren’t 2D. Or even if that’s the main reason the person went to therapy, perhaps they weren’t looking for a “how do I turn this frown upside down” solution, instead hoping to get some advice on how to better channel their frustrations, or gain clearer focus, or just to have someone to help sort out own thoughts. There can be many reasons.

A pigeon? How dare you! That’s almost as bad as calling someone an absolute walnut!

There’s a journalist that did a video walking down a hallway in one of the gov buildings in Washington. One office door after the next had a “I stand with Israel” sign

It’s like being psychology adjacent and having to double check which CBT do people mean

Are you really having a good time when the munchies hit but you’re out of snacc?

Oh, Monica is a FOSS site you can selfhost, hence my question. But an offline version is pretty neat, especially if it directly integrates with the device systems (e.g. notifications, calendar, etc).

How is it different from Monica? Just that it’s a mobile app?

As long as Putin is in power, the downward spiral will continue. After that? Legally, the prime minister would take over. Realistically, it’s whoever manages to woo over the military & the elite. The long-term outcome depends on who will actually be the one in power.

The people though, they’re still screwed. Unless a miracle happens and P drops dead tomorrow and the person that ends up taking over is a notch less corrupt than the other. It’d be a miracle indeed. In any case, just like you said, ghost towns will propagate, the intelligent will leave, the old will die. However, Russia is supposed to be big and strong, with nukes and honour. The big bad bear does not show weakness. So personally, I don’t think there’s going to be “care packages” or “aid” or “you get help if you do X”. That’d mean admitting needing help, and that’s a big no-no.

As someone from a former Soviet country (now living in UK), my heart bleeds for the Russian people. Over a million young people pushing up sunflowers in Ukraine. Some of them were evil and cruel, yes, but a lot of them didn’t want to be there. And war aside, just as you pointed out - Russia never properly recovered and rebuilt post-USSR. And the people suffer more than the ones in power, since the latter have money to import the Mercedes and eat the caviar. Is also why many escape, and become expats. Though nowadays they need connections and to grease the right palms, what with every body being a potential force in the war.

That said, the rampant corruption in Russian leadership has been there for a long time. Pre and post dissolution, the methods have only changed. As such, unless something major happens, I don’t think Russia will ever recover and become a world leader. They’re too far behind, and unwilling to change. But oh well, gotta see in a couple of generations, I hope I’m wrong. Oh, and I don’t think that the modern day Russia will break apart any time soon. Too proud, too harsh, and not worth the effort for those that could potentially benefit from it.

Huh, I’m glad that my favicon approach is base64 string in HTML, now, eliminates a big part of the fingerprint

Deezer’s been doing that for a while, even excluding bot listens from analytics & monetisation

Even if I was a *illionaire I’d rather gargle lava rocks than touch Oracle with a mile long pole

Ah yes, so bad that the bad character marries someone he groomed, someone he raped, and someone who is described to look like a child.

The show has been written to glorify Rudeus’ negative behaviour. In the beginning he’s already a repulsive person, but there was potential for a growth arc. And yet, he doesn’t. Sure, the show addresses some topics like ED for him to deal with and learn from, but it feels quite limp-wristed - he grows and learns from things that negatively affect himself, not from things that negatively affect others. For example, when finally Rudeus is poised to understand the implications of his actions and the impact he has on other people, he’s suddenly just groping the redheaded kid. Rudeus dealing with depression could have been poignant, yet again - panties.

Loli in and of itself is kinda grey area, and as such is tolerable in media. But the combination of Loli with other factors pushes it into the negative. Add on Rudeus being depicted as a good guy during all of this, and it’s clear that it’s a power fantasy isekai where the repulsive MC might struggle, but gets a happy ending nevertheless. Rudeus might be depicted as feeling bad/apologetic for being creepy, yet he doesn’t change. What do you mean he gets to walk free by perving over a figurine with the guard. Or that Eris’ father wanted to tie her up with Rudy’s bed to gain political standing.

So in short, it was depicted bad in the same way that someone play fighting might go “staahp, noooo”.

In any case, good luck with your project, I hope it turns out wonderful, and you get all the hype and support 😁

Thanks for elaborating. To me, it looks like you could definitely use an experienced dev-background person to help organise the project. For example, login is low priority imo - it’s not needed until you’re going into testing. And I mentioned the project being US-focused since I noticed stuff like eligible_1099 in the table design - not a thing outside the US.

Also, I’m working on a project for a non-profit, and as part of it I’m doing an audit trail functionality. Ended up thinking real hard over what’s PII you actually need. Turns out, don’t actually need to store phone numbers, for example. Makes life easier. And for data anonymisation - if someone makes a GDPR request, then the email gets replaced with a unique hash + @redacte.d, and the IP gets salted + hashed, so that the same IP is the same hash in all entries. This is to ensure continuity in the audit trail, plus if someone gets banned for DDoSing, then does a data redaction request, then tries to access again, they can still be blocked since their IP still matches the hash (same logic as to how passwords work). I’m mentioning it since that’s the kind of details that are worth thinking about - however, it’s deep down the rabbit hole of details.

Speaking of details, if you’re thinking of mobile, then there’s also the decision of app VS mobile-friendly site. If you want an app, then it’s worth swapping to React right now, since React Native (the framework for creating mobile apps) has a larger community and is more mature. If you’re OK not having a native mobile app, then go with whatever, have fun 😁

I asked about the MVP and day to day useage since that can inform you about what order to implement things. As mentioned above, having a login page is lower priority when starting a project. For example, if based on your knowledge and the feedback from existing cooperative(s) shows that the most heavily used functionality is ex. inventory tracking, then it’s worth building a good inventory tracking system first, and grow from there. Is also why I mentioned forking an existing project - is a huge project, and if you’re going at it solo, it’s gonna be painful.

But, there’s also alternative to forking - copy-paste. Just like artists use references, developers can also reference existing code. So, for example, I don’t know if you’ve seen this sheet (from this post) for additional info how people think co-ops should work, but it’s another piece of info to consider. Though it’s Java, you can still take high level structure or direct code inspiration from Adempiere, they’ve been around long enough to make a bunch of mistakes. There’s also a fork of Adempiere, Metasfresh, which is worth looking at re: how things work. Also Tryton, though that one’s in Python. Mentioning Tryton since it also uses the party approach, and has an architecture that’s worth considering: modularity. Essentially, having the core functionality that ties everything together, and a whole bunch of “modules” that each contain their own logic, SQL, etc.

Which brings me to my last point: it’s great to work on a new project, but learn from my mistakes - think of what it would be like to maintain in 6, 12, 24, 60 months. If you tightly couple everything, all things depend on all other things, the system is going to be fragile, hard to maintain, and less likely to be used. With your background I’m sure you’re already familiar with trying to update something someone else created in a way that doesn’t make sense to you.

So yea, basically, I’m trying to caution you to KISS (keep it simple silly), and not overcommit, lest your project ends up the same way my uncountable exciting startings have ended - in some random dusty git repo, untouched for years, too big or hard or no longer relevant to finish 😅
