The best part about Kagi is you can set it to redirect reddit links to old.reddit.com to avoid the enshittification

Looks interesting, but in order to actually compete with any e-signing platform you'll at the very least need to have templates with pre-filled information, an API to autofill docs with required information, and more field types. Right now for example, you can only add text, checkbox, and date/signature fields. Checkboxes are required to be checked (no making them optional), so if there are multiple checkbox options, they have to check them all to continue. Not very useful for actual e-signing flows.

Probably doesn't cost much at all to run some servers to spin up javascript functions, compared to their massive storage costs. It's at best a fraction of a percent of total costs.

Whether or not they (or discord for that matter) can sustain a profitable business in the long term is another question.

Just had to look this up, impressive specs for a Subaru. They've had some pretty lackluster EVs in the past (along with Toyota), but this one actually seems like a good combination of range and performance (375hp equivalent and 281 miles of range). Doesn't have super fast charging, which isn't a dealbreaker at the pricepoint.

I've got a Volvo C40 currently which is 400hp and likewise impressively fast, but the range is absolute trash (230mi claimed, usually more like 200mi). Otherwise the vehicle is nearly perfect.

I absolutely can't stand the suspension on Teslas, some of the worst ride quality of any modern vehicle.

They used to, before they got bought out by private equity and started jacking up the rates. Moved all my domains to porkbun since then.

This is awesome, I use telegram as my main chat app with all of my friends and coworkers. Now I need to figure out how to dockerize this and run it on my NAS so it's not reliant on my laptop being online.

Maybe can figure out a workflow to make a branch, deploy it and give me a cloudflare tunnel link to test it, and if approved merge the changes into main branch and deploy to prod. The vibes are off the charts.

Highly recommend setting up your own photo hosting and backup. People love Immich, but ente.io is also great! Much better than trusting your photos to a single microSD card which may die at any moment.

Seems like it actually loads a PNG image now, maybe the npm script adds some additional headers to trigger the payload.

This actually isn't the case anymore, plenty of non-US airlines allow beards and the new masks still provide perfect oxygen flow. It's more of a "professional image" thing in the US.

Yes, and my point is that the (supposedly) real human is also AI. You're chatting with a bot.

Yeah I think it's something like a 20+ year lifespan, I doubt I'll even be living in the same house in 20 years.

If you don't think that OF models are using AI to reply to incoming chats from users, well I've got a bridge to sell ya.
