You could find out about the way we do it at https://github.com/madnificent/docker-ember but I would not if I were you.

The real risk, today at least, does not seem utterly huge. Jumping in this rabbit hole of containers is another topic in itself. I suggest continuing your learning as you do now and maybe revisit this later. You will learn faster that way.

Feel free to check what we did on the link above and ask questions later or whenever you feel ready for this topic.

You shouldn’t eat candy given to you by strangers. If you’re in a large group and someone knows the candy, maybe. Code is food for your computer. Be wary. Our large Open Source group of friends has learned about many kinds of candy and shouts loudly when some in the group becomes ill. You don’t want to become ill. Some risk exists, but with a large group it is generally ok. Don’t install packages as root, don’t install what you don’t need.

I run my frontend builds through Docker (also during development). By isolating access to the host system to the files/folders necessary for development I’ve shielded off the majority of current realistic attacks I’ve seen as NPM based exploits. I’m certain the approach can be replicated for other frameworks, but we use Ember and docker-ember. I doubt it runs as smoothly on a non-Linux OS.

Was hoping to see more discussion here. When I maintain them, which I don’t do enough, I tend to go to a site depending on the make.

Mercedes seems to have great part service in house, for Citroen and Porsche I use an aftermarket reseller (online), for the MX5 NA there are lots of online options (even Ebay).

I have sourced second-hand parts but it takes a long time.

Common things, like batteries or generic tools, I source in local shops. It’s globally produced but they can give good advice on battery chargers and the likes, plus we all know we should buy locally when we can.

I used to order motorcycle parts from Great Brittain, but with Brexit I’ve completely stopped that. I have not found good alternatives there.

I totally forgot about that :P That would be great indeed.

The PD trigger board may be much more involved/expensive though and I have not seen any budget battery banks supporting it. One can dream.

I expect consuming devices to adapt themselves to the three or four commonly provided voltages for the foreseeable future.

I have done this using a usbc power bank explicitly rated to 20v. You only need a usbc power delivery trigger (which are not expensive).

I used diodes from a washing machine to drop from 20v to about 18.8v in my case. These dissipate quite a bit of heat so my cable has an extra metal plate as heatsink. I would put the diodes in the middle of the cable if I’d make it again. It is good for keeping it topped up as the current is lower and the heat stays lower too.

I had to read the overview and it looks nice. It reads like IPFS without some of the challenging cruft. Well written!

IPFS seemingly works small scale but not large scale. What makes tenfingers handle millions of files and petabytes of data better than IPFS? Perhaps that is not the goal. In what way do you think the tech scales? Why will discovery of the node which has the data be short?

I want to ask for benchmarks but you can’t do a full benchmark without loads of resources.

I’m not actively looking but please do share references! Other people may read this and they may want to know too. Perhaps I’ll jump back in the rabbit hole at some point too 😁

Exactly. The Semantic Web is broader than Solid but Solid is great for personal apps.

Say you buy a smartphone. The specifications of the smartphone likely belong elsewhere than in a Solid Personal Online Datastore, but they can be pulled in from semantic data on the product website. Your own proof of purchase is a great candidate for a Solid POD, as is the trace of any repairs made to it.

These technologies are great to cross the barriers between applications. If we’d embrace this, it would be trivial to find the screen protector matching your exact smartphone because we’d have an identifier to discover its type and specifications. Heck, any product search would be easier if you could combine sources and compare with what you already have.

The sharing tech exists. Building apps works also. Interpreting the information without building a dedicated interface seems lacking for laymen.

IPFS would replace Content Delivery Networks in present day.

It would also allow you to host software and other content from your own network again without the constraints modern Internet Service Providers pose on you to limit your self-hosting capabilities.

If applications are built for it, it could serve as live storage for your applications too.

We ran ipf-search. In one of the experiments we could show that a distributed search index on ipfs-search, accessible through JavaScript is likely feasible with the necessary research. Parts of the index would automatically be hosted by clients who used the index thus creating a fairly resilient system.

Too bad IPFS couldn’t get over the technical hurdles of limiting connection setup time. We could get a fast (ElasticSearch based) index running and hosted over common web technologies, but fetching content from IPFS directly was generally rather slow.

The semantic web and social linked data. We could have applications share data without depending on big tech, but rather based on application standards.

It can be used today and gains traction but I wouldn’t mind it going faster. Especially the interoperable personal app space could use some love and attention.

Wow. So Global Aviation puts as much carbon in the air every year from a fossil fuel source which we can’t put back than the unique and terrible wildfires Canada had in 2023.

We sure need to fly less!

VW indicated they’d go back to physical buttons due to consumer and reviewer feedback. Not sure if that already happened but they seem to be listening.

Might it be that the chargers are mostly less known? The few times I wanted to have a charger on the road there were ample (fast) options on my way. Discoverable through various apps. This is within Europe, no idea about other places. Europe also has CCS for fast charging so no connector issue (adapter needed on Tesla but it works).

It used to be more of a challenge 10 years ago but even then is was feasible to reach destinations quite far. Detours were sometimes needed back then.

We also ask for a GitHub handle but when one supplies Codeberg or GitLab it’s seen as very positive. Might not be the case for standard HR though.

Water also needs a substantial amount of energy to evaporate, hence it will sip some heat from the environment around it when it evaporates. Combined with the good thermal conductivity of steel, the bridge cools off.

You get a similar effect when walking out of a hot shower. The hot water evaporates and cools you down.

Belgian here. It’s about money and racism. Flanders (north) makes more money and has a higher employment rate. The separatist movement aims to put Flanders’ wealth first.

Foreigners are perceived to threaten our way of life and are perceived to cost money too. Vlaams Belang has been rather controversial in their statements earlier with a new young team creating some uproar. Both claim to benefit the Flemish citizen and will create better jobs with higher incomes.

Far left also gained ground so we are becoming more polarised.

I’m not a legal expert, but this talks about “inability to fulfill a contractual obligation” rather than the refusal to do so.

I assume the problem is slightly different and it is mainly a problem of not being able to go after the money (perhaps at reasonable cost) if the travelers have it?

Mercedes’s stars have been on springs for decades indeed. You can easily push them over (but make sure you put it back nicely). I think Rolls Royce’s Spirit of Ecstasy pops back into the hood but I don’t know how that works on impact.

I’m not sure either, but I’m happy it exists!

I own a 1973 Citroen DS Pallas 23ie with semi automatic gearbox. Few of these survived so it should be on the road. Yet “burning dinosaurs” doesn’t sit right with me. Who do you preserve a car experience for if it will ruin them anyhow. The engine was never the DS’s forté so an electric engine couod make a lot of sense, especially if you can simulate the feel.

As for hooning around, I guess it could be fun. It’s been pointless fun on a track before. It would still be pointless fun. Perhaps it will feel a bit more empty.

I write my notes in org-mode. It’s supported in many editors in a basic form, letting you add code snippets etc in an unobtrusive way. Using a well thought out format helps you in the long run.

I use this in Emacs, through which it lets me refer to emails, execute code snippets, attach related files, fetch content on/from remote servers, send off the debug session as an html email, … Support will depend on your editor but even as raw text it works.

I don’t use something specific to make non-code repeatable as you suggest here, but you could embed a test language in an org code block.

The syntax is straight-forward and exports to multiple external formats exist (eg: html).
