Because searching for a thing across all issues is way faster than eyeballing the list written on each box?
Correct. There’s no way you’re going to write every item inside the box on the box itself. And definitely not on every side of the box. Think cables and small items.
It only makes sense if you plan on unpacking over a year but if you unpack everything in a couple days then the system is not as useful.

I put a colored sticker on each box, where the color corresponds to the room where the box should go. The destination rooms are marked with the same stickers during the move, so helpers have an easy time telling where to put each box.
In addition, I’m numbering the boxes, and when packing them keep a list mapping the numbers to what’s in each box. So when later searching for something, I know it should be in box number x. This can be helpful even years later when you don’t unpack all boxes.

Indeed, this is one of the biggest reasons I tracked this information to begin with.

I used GitHub issues as a form of project management to plan my wedding many years ago.
My wife was skeptical at first, but the ability to add labels, search, etc made it really easy to work together and accomplish the tasked we needed in time for the wedding.
The hardest part was creating a bookmark that links directly to the issue tracker.
Oh, I’ve also used GitHub issues to organize all the boxes in my most recent move. I would create an issue and the description would list all the contents of a box. Then I would write the issue number on the box. After moving, I could search GitHub to find that one thing I was looking for and know what box it was in.

The issue is Vercel Image API is ridiculously expensive and also not efficient.
I would recommend using Thumbor instead: https://thumbor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/. You could have ChatGPT write up a React image wrapper pretty quickly for this.
The article explains that they were using the old Vercel price and that the new price is much cheaper.
> On Feb 18, 2025, just a few days after we published this blog post, Vercel changed their image optimization pricing. With the new pricing we'd not have faced a huge bill.
The *.home.arpa domain in RFC 8375 has been approved for local use since 2018, which is long enough ago that most hardware and software currently in use should be able to handle it.
Why use that over *.localhost which has been available since 1999 (introduced in RFC 2606)

styfle commented on PackagePhobia – Find the cost of adding a new dev dependency to your project packagephobia.com/... · Posted by u/pabs3
They says sponsored by Vercel and Upstash, but in the repo, it just says hosting and database "sponsored" by them. Are they just using the free tier???
Both offer a free plan but Package Phobia is sponsored meaning its on the paid plan but getting it for free.
Kinda like a skateboarder might be sponsored and get a skateboard for free even though others pay for the same item.
Package Phobia started out on the free plan but it turns out its quite popular, serving over 5 million requests per month. A cache miss (which is frequent given the cardinality of packages + versions), it can take 30 seconds to install a package and measure its size.
There's also a public API which tools like Socket use to check the size of every npm package.
The entire point of the Slate truck is to try to come in under 20K or around it, and without the EV subsidies that's probably not going to happen.
That said, $41K is still a big jump in comparison and it makes the Telo much closer to the price of a Model Y starting around $45K.
