Thanks! Yes, I agree. Someone already implemented a Firefox history data source; I don't think it includes the _content_ of the pages, but that could be interesting.

I see... that might make it hard to keep all the data together, which is one of the goals. But I will give it some thought.

I don't think sqlite runs very well on S3 file systems. I think it would also be insufferably slow. I even encountered crashes within sqlite when using ExFAT -- so file system choice is definitely important! (I've since implemente

Timelinize doesn't import duplicates by default, so you can just import the whole new Takeout and it will only keep what is new. But you have control over this: - You can customize what makes an item a duplicate or unique - You can cho

A live demo would be great, but I'm not sure how to generate the fake data in a way that imitates real data patterns. That's originally how I wanted to demo things, but the results weren't compelling. (It was a half-hearted e

Cool, yeah, the finance use case seems very relevant. Someday it'd be cool to have a Finance exploration page, like we do for other kinds of data. Real-time/polling imports aren't yet supported, but that's not too diffic

Why sidecar metadata files? In general I've tried to minimize the number of files on disk since that makes copying slow and error-prone. (A future version of Timelinize will likely support storing ALL the data in a DB to make for faste

A few latin names have been suggested, but nothing has stuck. The problem is they are usually difficult to spell and pronounce, which isn't really an improvement over the current situation :) FindPenguins is cool! I don't use it m

Ha, thanks it’s actually AJQuery, just a two line shim to gain the $ sugar. Otherwise vanilla JS.

Will be curious how you use it. I plan to integrate local LLM at some point but it’s still nebulous in my head.

by mholt 1y ago
Will have to look into that. Sounds like it could be expensive but maybe worth it.

Probably not hard. Timelinize's data sources have a standard API with just 2 methods [0], so it should be fairly trivial to implement depend on how accessible Immich is. To clarify, you don't grant access to Google Photos, you jus

by mholt 1y ago
For sure. About 5-6 years ago, Timelinize actually used only the Google Photos API. It didn't even support imports from Takeout yet. The problem is the API strips photos of crucial metadata including location, and gives you nerfed vers

Yep -- a timeline is just a folder with regular files and folders in it. They're portable across OSes. I've tried to account for differences in case-sensitive and -insensitive file systems as well. So you can copy/move them

Yeah. Major thorn in my side. I spent hours trying to automate that process by using Chrome headless, and it kinda worked, until I realized that I needed to physically authenticate not just once, but every 10 minutes. So, it basically can&#

Propagating the revocation information often takes about as long.

by mholt 1y ago
Yeah, revocation is a hot mess, it's always been broken, and OCSP Stapling was our only hope -- but then most web servers (but not all! guess which one) dropped the ball. (Clients at least honored Must-Staple.) Short certificate lifeti

Thank you, that's always nice to read! I will pass this along to our maintainer team.

This is why Caddy has config adapters: bring any config file language you like, and Caddy will run it. It's built-into the binary and just takes a command line flag to switch languages: https://caddyserver.com/docs&#x2F

This page is to demonstrate that revocation is broken. There is no central revocation authority. Anyone can publish a revocation list, whether it's a CA or client vendors or Joe from his mom's basement. I'm using the term &qu

That's because Apple uses their own CRLs, pretty much exclusively.

by mholt 1y ago
Revocation has many meanings. No central revocation authority is actually enforced by the BRs, as far as I know. Clients can do whatever they want. The CA can say a cert is revoked but no one has to care. Clients can also say a cert is revo

Context: WebPKI revocation is broken. It didn't have to be [0], but it always has been, and likely always will be, now that the industry is moving to short-lived certificates. Let's Encrypt is now offering a profile for 6-day cert
