Our org has a bunch of related miscellaneous projects called "pantry". Basically, if it doesn't fit standalone, you put it in the pantry. It works out better than you think, except when someone is doing a webex and misses an

I wouldn't use Facebook as a guide. My sisters all have done <First> <Maiden> <Last> for facebook, but none of them have legally changed their middle name. They just do it on facebook so that people can find them.

With several versions of windows, I learned to hate how close Help was to Run on the start menu. You're about to run cmd or some specific program, and then next thing you know, your computer is crawling to a halt while it attempts to b

On barely related note, I immediately thought about Three Moons Over Milford, in which the moon breaks into three chunks and rains meteorites down on the surface. As it turns out the tile comes from Seveneves, which has a similar concept.

I have my own server, I have had a blog since 2002. That blog has shifted around through multiple CMSes, from a homemade php script to movable type, to static generated to blogger.com to self-hosted wordpress. For quite a few years, my blog

These days, for the situations in which I want to make my own distro, I go to [buildroot]. I recently (well, 2 years ago) built an image to replace DOS on a Pentium 75 system. Built an small distro containing nothing more than a a couple us

True, but you probably won't be actively working in some other app when that happens. Your hands were, up until that point, actively involved in connecting the phone to the laptop. It's still a bit annoying - maybe you only wanted

Conducting interviews really helps put things in perspective. Or, once someone is hired, attempting to delegate some of your work to them. Alternatively, try picturing what you would do to train people for the work you do. Think about peopl

There's (unfortunately) a big divide between teams that are mostly office-based, and teams that are mostly remote based. I'm fortunate to have finally landed a job in the latter. When your boss and their boss also work from home,

I used to COPS on my nas. I would add books using calibre, stored on the nas, and served up via COPS. Many apps (I used FBReader) have OPDS capabilities. This is a sort of online catalog which your reader can browse, search, and download bo

A good scenario is building a backup server/nas solution that you can put in a little cubby at your friends place. There's trust involved that you're not using their internet to hack the government, and you have to be mindful

I like how Google did their storage. They started off with a something that was (at the time) insane amount of storage for email, like 1GB. Then they slowly increased that over time as storage costs decreased. It was never unlimited, but it

I've skimmed over the activitypub overview. It looks interesting. I'd be curious what your thoughts are on it in comparison to two other "recent" decentralized social protocols. I feel it shares a lot of similarities wit

Nothing shared like this. But I have kept daily logs, first as text file. Currently I do this using quiver (a multi-noteobok editor). I create a notebook called worklog and each day I put in a short list of planned actvities and then I copy

For relays, that is more or less what the pub servers do. I connect to a relay, and if I subscribe to a channel or follow an individual, I end up with messages from months ago. The pub servers "gossip" with each other, so any part

The daycare we enrolled our kid at has a $12 fee for every 15 minutes past their closing time. I think that's priced steep enough to discourage, and also on par with having to pay two adults to stay later (they have a two adults with t
