> The asteroid mass needed to support one astronaut for one year is between 160 000 metric tons and 5000 metric tons.

Even these orders of magnitude are correct, this is still 14t-438t of material to process /per day/ just for one person.

Nice demo.

Without trying to steal the thread, what I would care is actually the opposite direction.

Neither in Swift Playgrounds, nor in any other programming development environment apps for both mobile OSes, have I found a good development experience using pen instead of keyboard.

Given how many of us "program" in paper notebooks, it is quite incredible that besides a couple of research projects done by PhD students, no one cares to actually make it more widespread in a usable way.

Yes!

I'm on this route myself, trying various things out at https://github.com/fenollp/reMarkable-tools

Handwriting (in and out) support is very important IMO. Also being able to draw DAGs.

I'd like an e-ink device with high frame rate and HW powerful enough to run some models locally or with good enough connectivity and sensors that e.g. Computer Vision tasks can be offloaded to the users' smartphone.

Feel free to expose your ideas on there :) I welcome Open Source discussion!

Related: If you are into this kind of thing and the extra fun that is GPUs + pydata, we have a 1mo or 2mo project around adding rootless to our GPU graph AI containers & packer flow. Ping build@graphistry.com .

Niche but a project we have been wanting for awhile. Base containers get OSS'd etc. This stuff is twisty!

What do you mean by "adding rootless"?

Sheesh, clickbaity title.

No, it’s not a scam. Should you use it for your data? Yes. Does it prevent you being h4x0red? No. Defense in the depth.

From the article:

> Nothing in this diatribe argues that encryption at rest is creating a net negative, outside of it being represented as a be-all and end-all security measure. When I say encryption at rest is a scam, I’m talking about it from the eyes of the purchaser. And given that it’s their data at risk, this is the standpoint that matters.

With this tool, I use a pen and write on the tablet as if I was writing on paper (with the same feeling).

The main pro for whiteboard tool is the collaborative feature which I will never be able to do.

fenollp · 2 years ago

I love seeing work in this space! I made a collaborative whiteboard app for the reMarkable a while ago: https://github.com/fenollp/reMarkable-tools

It is packaged in the homebrew Toltec repo https://toltec-dev.org/

So many gotchas like this in dockerfiles. I think the issue stems from it being such a leaky abstraction. To use it correctly you need to know how docker works internally inside and out, as well as Linux inside and out.

The default choices are baffling in docker, it really is a worse-is-better kind of tool.

Has anyone worked on a replacement for dockerfiles? I know buildah is an alternative to docker build, but it just uses the same file format

We use K-Sortable Globally Unique IDs: https://github.com/segmentio/ksuid

Some differences:

128 bit strongly generated payload (instead of 80 bits for ULIDs).

Only 32 bit time precision but that's wall clock time anyway.

Base62 encoded.

fenollp commented on Harbormaster: Anti-Kubernetes for your personal server gitlab.com/stavros/harbor... · Posted by u/stavros

Hey everyone! I have a home server that runs some apps, and I've been installing them directly, but they kept breaking on every update. I wanted to Dockerize them, but I needed something that would manage all the containers without me having to ever log into the machine.

This also worked very well for work, where we have some simple services and scripts that run constantly on a micro AWS server. It's made deployments completely automated and works really well, and now people can deploy their own services just by adding a line to a config instead of having to learn a whole complicated system or SSH in and make changes manually.

I thought I'd share this with you, in case it was useful to you too.

Not saying this would at all replace Harbormaster, but with DOCKER_HOST or `docker context` one can easily run docker and docker-compose commands without "ever logging in to the machine". Well, it does use SSH under the hood but this here seems more of a UX issue so there you go.

Discovering the DOCKER_HOST env var (changes the daemon socket) has made my usage of docker stuff much more powerful. Think "spawn a container on the machine with bad data" à la Bryan Cantrill at Joyent.
