styfle commented on What your Bluetooth devices reveal   blog.dmcc.io/journal/2026... · Posted by u/ssgodderidge

Tangential, sort of: in the early days of mobile phones for the masses, when there was no WiFi/3G in the underground, I will often enable Bluetooth in my phone, look for nearby devices and try to match names and looks.

That was before everyone had their "John's IPhone" or "Samsung A55" boring names everywhere and some of us cared to personalise our device's name.

Anyone else played this game?

Did you ever try to communicate with them?

41k ?!

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.

Slate is going to start closer to 28K now that the tax credit is gone (remember it’s not going into production until next year).

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.

Wouldn't a single text document have achieved the same purpose? With a heading for each box?

I liked being able to “close” the issue once I unpacked the box.

Because searching for a thing across all issues is way faster than eyeballing the list written on each box?
styfle · 9 months ago
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.
styfle · 10 months ago
Why use that over *.localhost which has been available since 1999 (introduced in RFC 2606)
