A folding python code plugin for neovim. It allows me to check faster what a file is doing by only looking at the function signatures and the first docstring line. Then open the docstring completely. I use tab and shift-tab to fold or unfold. https://codeberg.org/gixita/nvim_python_fold

I've just discovered this bicycle axle for attaching a trailer. I have a mountain bike with a through axle and normally you can't attach a trailer. This axle is longer and can be used to attach the trailer hitch to sport bikes.

Not very friendly reply. First the english sentencrs are not good enough to be an AI. Secondly, forecasting the combination of usage of 2 non mainstream tech is not yet an AI task. Feel free to argue that you think it is not a good idea

With Self-Sovereign-Identities, you will most likely have a wallet storing your "cards" on your mobile phone. Which implies that you make a presentation of that "card (verifiable credential)" on demand. The requester of the card (the verifier) will know if the card is revoked but will not know if that card has been replaced by another one. In regards with that problem, the Solid pod could help because you would share a container of the pod where that type of card are stored (eg your energy contract), so the third party would know all the time what is your latest energy contract type with the price you pay (for example to optimize your grid injection/consumption).

It could be also a very good way to let user hop from open source project to another by bringing their data with them (only open source project is capable of that kind of kindness :-) )

Solid could be used to allow sharing of data in a more "easy" way. For example, if your pod would contain your energy time series, you could share them from a location that you "own". In that sense the energy company is not responsible if you share it with malicious actors. And then get these data in your Home Assistant or to a optimizer service.

Maybe a better solution than using face recognition would be to make a derivative claim from your identity documents issued by an authority (the state). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-knowledge_proof
