Grant's work with 3blue1brown and Manim is simply amazing. The quality of the videos is so high, not the least thanks to the visualizations. Not an easy task given the abstract nature of the topic.

It's linked in the readme, but I want to highlight the demo video [0], where Grant explains how he works with Manim.

For a self hosting solution I'd recommend gitea: it's a single go binary that needs almost no installation (only a config file), it's very fast, updates work great (replace previous binary and restart), supports ldap and has all the features of GitHub your love and even various features that free GitHub does provide (ie branch protection for private repos).

emaro · 22 days ago

For those who don't know, Forgejo is a fork of Gitea.

Is it similar to the Gnome plugin PaperWM?

emaro · a month ago

Yes, Niri is inspired by PaperWM afaik.

I, and I'm sure others, are suspicious that F**book will train AI on it, will keep copies and apply their own licenses, et cetera, until someone calls them out on it (ie, sues them).

emaro · 2 months ago

Me too. However you're free to join or move to an instance that doesn't federate with Threads.

I just checked, and according to the reviews on the flashlight app the weekly subscription is $14.99 to remove ads. For a flashlight.

emaro · 2 months ago

That's so unhinged it's almost funny again. I mean someone who pays 60$ a month for a flashlight app almost deserves it. Almost.

Note that IPFS is now on the EU Piracy Watchlist which may be a precursor to making it illegal.

emaro · 3 months ago

Didn't know that, interesting. Although maybe it's not that surprising...

But then all content should be static and never update?

If you serve an SPA via IPFS, the SPA still needs to fetch the data from an endpoint which could go down or change

Even if you put everything on a blockchain, an RPC endpoint to read the data must have a URL

emaro · 3 months ago

No, not all content should never change. This is just the core of the dilemma: dynamic content (and identifiers) rots faster that static content (content addressed). We can have both, but not at the same time.

DNS seems to solve the problem of a decentralized loosely-coordinated mapping service pretty well.

emaro · 3 months ago

True, but then you're back on square one. Because it's not guaranteed that using a (DNS) name will point to the same content forever.

hoppp · 3 months ago

Yes.

domain names often exchange hands and a URL that is supposed to last forever can turn into malicious phishing link over time.

emaro · 3 months ago

In theory a content-addressed system like IPFS would be the best: if someone online still has a copy, you can get it too.

emaro commented on Show HN: Defuddle, an HTML-to-Markdown alternative to Readability github.com/kepano/defuddl... · Posted by u/kepano

jeanlucas · 3 months ago

Obsidian Web Clipper is a great tool to turn chatGPT conversations in markdown, or to just print it (believe me, it is a user case)

emaro · 3 months ago

Not sure about other clients, but Kagi Assistant directly offers to save a conversation as Markdown. Using Obsidian's web-clipper is a good idea too though.
