I like to save the best / most interesting links I come across as I browse the web. It can come in handy to pull up a blog post I read a while ago or remember some new sass product or developer tool I wanted to check out. I'm using https://raindrop.io now which works great for this.
When I looked into it I was surprised that browsers don't have this kind of bookmark management built-in. I'd be very happy with two small additions to browsers: (1) display by / sort by date added and (2) a small separate freeform text box for notes (so I can describe why I saved the link).
(Optionally it could be nice if browsers adopted some standard sync mechanism for bookmarks, maybe based on WebDAV like the Floccus extension).
Then again, these dedicated external bookmark managers do have nice features like tags, search, and offline downloads or page screenshots. Those are all great!
Linkwarden looks like a nice product. Looks like it would tick all the boxes for my use-case and the design is pleasant. I like that it's open source and has a fair price for the hosted offering. Maybe I'll give it a try!
It seems like the ideal approach would be "proving" syntax proposals by implementing them in a preprocessor first and then later trying to standardize the syntax if it gains traction. It sounds like there are technical reasons for why that didn't work for the case of SCSS-like nesting, which is disappointing but understandable... if that's the case I think the right approach is to take these new proposals and "go back to square one" (preprocessor) vs. "go straight to standardizing something new".
After thinking about this for a while, I think they've been making the right move.
However, I'd like to see:
- Xcode, Final Cut Pro, and other pro apps with full feature-sets designed specifically for iPad (touch, mouse, and keyboard)
- A new keyboard accessory more like a laptop with a strong base like a Surface Book 3
- A revamped Terminal.app for Mac and iPad with rendering perf improvements like in iTerm2, Alacritty, and Kitty
- Virtualization support, or at least something that somehow runs Linux containers
- Advanced tiling window management... maybe only via keyboard shortcuts
- Ability to script iPad OS behavior - window management and keyboard remapping
- Ability to run unsigned CLI and GUI apps from inside a terminal and/or launched via other iOS apps like would be used in iOS Xcode
Bonus: Unlockable bootloader to run alternative OS's like M1 Macs can.
If they did all of these I'd strongly consider buying one as my primary device.
I've been using GNU Stow (with Git) for the past month to sync some of my dotfiles between two laptops (Mac and Linux). It took 10 minutes to get comfortable with it and it works well for me.
I've liked Standard Notes. It's really nice that it's open source and encrypted. However I ran into some instances of cross-device conflicting edits which were a bit annoying, and Obsidian's UI and Second Brain features swayed me to try it. The graph view is really cool and I realized I didn't need syncing as much as I thought.
Obsidian does seem to also have a paid sync feature (no mobile app yet). For now I've been emailing myself from my phone and taking small audio memos, then typing them into Obsidian when back at my laptop. Not an ideal workflow but it's not bad and has some advantages.
I set up syncthing on my two computers and my phone. It was surprisingly simple and works pretty well (after I turned off battery optimisation on it on the phone).
using Markor as an acceptable way of making small edits and notes on my phone for fleshing out later.
Conflicts are normal in syncing. Even git has conflicts. Although SN's conflict resolution is a bit weird where it creates multiple copies of the note...I think this may be because they mark conflicted notes on the server using timestamps.
Looks great. I'd love something like this. I assume it charges over USB-C? Any chance we can get a video of the laptop in-use, and maybe a few shots of it next to other popular laptops?
Great design/hardware. Specifically the high res 3:2 display, camera privacy guard, and the weight. And the repairability / upgradability is awesome.
1. Single binary install on nodes, and easy to join them into a cluster.
2. Resources defined as JSON with comments in a simple format with JSON Schema URLs denoting resource types - I should be able to run 1 container with 3 lines of resource definition.
3. Everything as a CRD... No resources or funcionality pre-installed and instead available via publicly hosted HTTPS schema URLs.
4. Pluggable / auto-installed runtimes based on the schema URL or a "runtime" field: containers, vms, firecracker, wasm, maybe even bare processes, etc.
5. A standard web dashboard with a marketplace which can install multiple containers, vms, wasm or via a copy-pasted HTTPS URL, or a standard electron app which lets me connect to clusters or manage local deployments on my devbox.
6. Apps can provide a JSON schema with config options, which map to env vars and volume mounts and can be displayed in a user friendly way in the web dashboard.
I feel something like this could standardize even more than kube. I'd love if one system allowed me to manage AWS EC2 / DigitalOcean / Proxmox instances, as well as manage services on my devbox for daily use (like daemons, etc.)
With that said, I do like a standard format across service providers. While I do find kube complex at times, I like that something "won" this battle, and I also like the push towards containers vs vms.
I'd love to see kube start pairing down and innovating toward making things easier for smaller clusters. Anyone know if there are discussions about that going on, or if there are resources for managing kube in smaller teams? Anyone interested in this?
I have a Mastodon account. I just tried visiting the local timeline of a different instance, as recommended, and I have to say it was a much more engaging experience than I had had before on my account's instance.
Is there any chance for a federated interaction to effectively replace the local timeline? It'd be cool to be able to jump into a "community timeline" without that being tied to your account's "instance" (ie. using one account for multiple interests).
