I’ve found asking “what do you like to do” vs “what do you do” to produce much more interesting conversation.

Yep, my website (very WIP) is hosted on an RPi 5 in the corner of my apartment, and every once in a while my IP changes and I have to update DNS and tell my friends to connect to the minecraft server by IP. I'm probably around 98% uptime, so github levels of assurance.

Can you elaborate on the restrictions? Is it just that the Baofeng allows you to transmit on some frequencies that aren’t legal or at power levels that aren’t allowed or is it not allowed in the US at all?

"and very good reasons for not implementing Apple Wallet"

Judging by the screenshots, it looks like a thin wrapper around a mobile-optimized web site, or at best something like Flutter, so the likelihood that they have in-house developers that are sufficiently versed in the dustier corners of Apple's APIs is slim.

Topping my list of GUI toolkit requirements are cross-platform and native look & feel. As far as I know, Qt still beats everything else in these areas on the desktop. It's mostly excellent.

However, I find The Qt Group's commercial licensing (and their tactics as reported by various people on HN) a little scary. If I were to go commercial, I think I would stick with LGPL Qt and link dynamically or give customers my object files for re-linking, because I get the impression that accepting a commercial Qt license could restrict my ability to use open-source Qt elsewhere. I suppose there might be some other way to safely navigate those waters, but from what I've read, The Qt Group has a reputation for making this far from hassle-free. It's not an immediate problem because I currently use Qt only for open-source and personal tools.

I have grown tired of C++, so I've been using Python to drive Qt. The bindings are very good, mirroring the C++ API so closely that I just use the C++ docs when I need to look something up.

I've also been watching for Qt bindings to other compiled languages, mainly for distributing non-Linux GUI apps more simply than Python allows. Such bindings often turn out to expose only Qt Quick, which lacks functionality that I sometimes need, but there are a few that expose Qt Widgets. For example, these Go bindings:

I hope we'll eventually see a cross-platform GUI toolkit rivaling Qt in a language more pleasant than C++ (and ideally easier to bind to other languages). The one being developed for internal use by the Zed editor has some promising ideas about how to render native-looking text, which I think is a good start:

Seriously, me too. I also want to know how they transport the laundry to/from the machine. I'm hoping for a conveyor belt of sorts.

There are options missing from the admin panel or the dashboards that intuitively seem basic. Some examples: - excluding certain data from your report (such as localhost visits) - setting a default time range - on the 'overview' of all your domains, setting a time range that applies to all and not just one domain individually (this particularly felt really counterintuitive)

There is more I'd come up with if I actually pulled it up, but the overall throughline is that it just feels 'too basic' at this moment. Especially for something that goes beyond tracking visits on your personal blog and/or hobby website.

I have been using (and self-hosting) Umami for 3 websites for the better of a year. While good for my use-case, which is just having some 'fun' insights of how many visits my pages get and where that traffic is coming from, it's mostly aimed at my profile I reckon. Would never use it for a business purpose. Also the UI is somewhat immature still.

So all in all: total fan, otherwise I wouldn't be using it, but it's fairly limited in what it can do.
