I agree! Before Tailscale I was completely skeptical of self hosting. Now I have tailscale on an old Kindle downloading epubs from a server running Copyparty. Its great!

I have been using (and contributing to) on an open source project called Zaparoo[1] that lets my kids (5-8) play retro games, watch videos, and listen to music using NFC cards. The whole thing runs on a Raspberry Pi running Batocera[2]. I p

This is excellent UX for feed discovery. I always found the feed subscription thing distracting- usually I am reading blogs to solve a problem or research and not collect/socialize. That is something I am in the mood for later.

I put koreader on my families various devices. I have Inkpalm 5, Kindle 11th Gen, and an older Kindle. My favorite is the Inkpalm 5 but they stopped making it. :(

I love the OPDS feature to serve ebooks to my families ereader devices. Many of the other OPDS servers are rather complex by comparison and as a bonus I can use it from a web browser for my devices that don’t speak OPDS. https://

Why is this the best business model we can collectively execute on? Whether it is AI, home cameras, or fridges it seems to just come back to, welp, lets slap an ad on it.

The difference is that I know the sum ahead of time and can object in the moment at the bank. A vote recount and/or judicially called audit can take months to resolve. This can lead to a loss in confidence in the outcome and for politi

And how would you feel if those counting machines were closed source?

The comments on this have lots of folks focused purely on the software, talking about a lack of paper ballots, etc. So, let me provide some more context that is missing from the post. For those who don't know the VotingWorks software i

India has a centrally managed federal voting administration. The US has an extremely layered and very distributed system managed by each state and county. There are different trade offs here but these are completely different ways to run el

But how many items is that?

by philips 1y ago
How many items are on these ballots? Due to the distributed nature of US governance my ballots easily have 20-30 items each election. It is quite different than countries that hand vote.

How many positions and measures do you vote on in your ballots? In my US County I vote on 20+ ballot measures and positions most elections. Very few other countries have the ballot complexity and sheer number of votable items like the US.

It would be nice to provide a way to edit the prompt. I have a use case where I need to extract tabular handwritten data from PDFs scanned with a phone and I don't want it to extract the printed instructions on the form, etc. I have a
