I loved reading your comment and got curious: how he detected the bitflips?

Wait a second, JS in James Webb Space Telescope?? Doing what? I'd love to hear about its usecases in the telescope. Is there any blog post about it?

Which firewall software do you use? I should probably start using firewalls in my computers as well...

Are you using a framework for developing with react native? I'd love to know if you have some blog posts on the UI part.

Thanks!

First of all, thank you! What a treasure trove of data.

If I may ask a question, do you have historical air quality data?

If I may use your expertise a bit: I need air quality data for two cities, one of which doesn't have any air quality monitoring stations. Is there anything I can use as a proxy for air pollution, like satellite data? Also, do you know any sources for that data?

Thanks!

P.S.: I'm passionate about air quality, given I have alergies and was an active member of the bicycle activism movement for about 10 years.

Hi, Vlad. We've met before, I'm the person whose 70-year-old mother is using Kagi. I also have actively been trying to move people to Kagi for some time - even paying for their accounts. The biggest block I face is not brand recognition. It's a lack of An Android app.

To move my mother to Kagi, I had to install Brave Browser on her android cell phone, make it the default browser on Android, change Brave's default search engine and create a desktop shortcut to it.

Android is ubiquitous in Brazil. I won't be able to move much people to Kagi with a process this involved.

Happy to chat further about this topic if you wish, privately or publicly.

I live in Brazil. The individual plan is arguably expensive around the global south.

But the family plan amounts to 3USD/person/month! I joined a bunch of friends and paid upfront for the yearly plan.

I even moved my 70-year-old mom to Kagi search so she wouldn't fall prey to clickbaits and scams. The extra peace of mind definitely paid off. I am going to move more people to Kagi in the coming months.

The only "feature request" I have is that it should be easier to switch to Kagi. The quotation marks because I know it's not up to them, but to the FCC lawsuit.

Also, if anyone from Kagi is reading, thanks so much for the great service you provide.

Just thanking you for your tips. I was looking for something after Authy's decision to discontinue the desktop version. This sounds like a great option.

I'm going to probably gnome authenticator on top of WSL2, because I like monstrosities.

I just added Neo Store to my boox device. Thanks so much! It is great!

If you have any other recommendations, I'd gladly hear them.
