I can't stand Google maps now. You have to fight it to show the actual map. The map, too, is now swarmed in Wall-E levels of marketing trash: bubbles, home businesses, auto play review videos, promoted fast food and coffee 8 miles away when I'm in a dense walkable area. The user reviews and navigation are still valuable, but literally every other aspect has went to shit.

It's worth noting that the Times released this tool a decade ago. IIRC, around 2015 there was also a push for better colorblind friendly color palettes, especially on the heat map space (I remember watching a matplotlib demo, maybe, with viridis support). While there's many visualization practices we do better at now, and while this could be due for a redux, I still think it"s one of the best interactives to date. It's an OG for sure.
Props to Oleg/hoverzoom for maintaining and updating this list for all to read. It's my first time seeing any document of this kind really. Quiet chilling
I see. And if the Ethernet competes with USB for bandwidth this is probably doubly not great, even if I'm just serving files straight up over samba. Indeed, this same Pi was used as a front end (kodi) to my current server before I got a smart tv and it worked great for that. I have a smart tv now so this pi needs new use, and I want a server more compact.
I know now that my question diverges from the Pi community, but do you have any good sites that have different NAS builds using boards similar to what you posted, or communities of this kind? I think I'd like to geek out a bit creating different builds. As mentioned, it's been some time since my last build
Yeah it's been nice but it has come with a bit of a learning curve. The process now is much more straightforward. Maybe devs will be more inclined to build since the userbase has future.
Wow, this is pretty aligned with myself. I also rabbit hole Tips from a Shipwright and Mattias Wandel from time to time
I rocked tt-rss for 8+ years, self hosting. Very configurable for me and it was basically my youtube homepage. However I'll say that on more than one occasion the update was not trivial.
They are a net gain to the site owner IMO. Years ago you could make a case for cutting into ad revenue, but in this day and age it's hard enough to be discoverable to generate any in the first place. Sites with high SEO are swollen with ads and fluff and useless. Nowadays I'm just glad to see something I wrote about or compiled spur healthy interactions and on page 1 of search engines.
That includes making third party dissemination easier. Perhaps I come away knowing and remembering more because of a bot's concision. Maybe that makes me more likely to share your unique idea with others IRL. I dunno
This is a nice idea. It's not splicing different words together but paying tribute to conceptual meaning. Simplifies syllables. Can be represented symbolically (e.g. ℵ₀). And it makes me think of the movie pi (aleph nought).
I'm not a Hebrew speaker, so it's easy for me to read "alpha" when skimming "aleph". I wonder if others do this. Then again, read any modern tech headline and pretend you're someone in the 70's and you'd be struggling to understand what the hell even half the words are trying to convey.
I'm in the same boat as you, re: having moved from Sync to Infinity. The fact Infinity's interface made it possible for me to figure out quite naturally, and within ten seconds, how to go from the front page to finding this instance + community alleviates so many of the headaches from the past two months of mobile web lurking.
Seeing all the different instances by people's usernames is so cool. It shows off, slyly, a lot of power within the lemmy/fedi platform. Very impressed.
I am too, and new to Infinity overall. I was patiently awaiting Sync but became sadly disappointed with how aggressive it was monetized. Infinity does what I need:
-
searching for posts over all communities (*and instances!)
-
inline find function for the comments
-
preview before commenting
I am simple. Infinity is fast. Go. Lemmy. Go.
I sort of like Mr. Chickadee for the same reason. No talking or flashy gimmicks, just hand tools and the sounds of nature.
