Typo, should be: github.com/modernc-org/sqlite

I use the (older, lower spec) TP-Link EAP225 with Openwrt and it's been great standalone. The single ethernet port is slightly annoying for a router, but PoE makes up for it.

Agreed! I like music that can be enjoyed either active or passive listening. The main requirement is that it have no vocals. Here's my go-to Spotify playlist while coding.

I use https://porjo.github.io/freshtube/ almost daily. It requires a Google API key but only have to set it once.

Ever been to a social event where, by the end, everyone is yelling at each other to be heard over the noise of other people yelling at each other! I give you the Lombard effect.

New comment by porjo in "'It's ridiculous': publicans bemused by rise of single-file queues to get served"

porjo — Sun, 01 Feb 2026 04:12:29 +0000

The traditional way of ordering a drink at a bar requires a small degree of engagement with your fellow patrons and bar staff. In my experience people under 30 just don't want to 'engage' with strangers: make eye contact, smile, make small talk. I've noticed this in the work place with younger colleagues and with hospitality staff in general. It's not surprising they would prefer to form a queue and take their turn before hurrying back to the safety of their group of friends.

porjo — Sun, 11 Jan 2026 21:09:24 +0000

I don't want to diminish the effort put into this project, but it's a reminder to me of just how many markdown editors there are out there! And yet I'm still searching for the holy grail:

- wysiwyg editor (not live preview)

- simplicity: single binary that can be pointed at a directory of markdown files

- fast launch time, low latency UI

- cross platform

- comes with basic 'extras' like tables & code block support

I actually really like the Confluence editor experience. If I could get that in an FOSS 'offline' package, my needs would be met.

I use this to sync my wife's photos to Immich and it works great, however the auth process is a bit of a pain (not the fault of icloudpd) and have to reauth every few months.

porjo — Sun, 11 Jan 2026 21:00:35 +0000

Because icloudpd supports downloading photos from icloud and rclone does not (yet): https://github.com/rclone/rclone/pull/8734

It's depressing to note that air travel accounts for similar total yearly emissions but is up to 50x more polluting on a per unit of cargo/people transported.

Or you (and your future partner) practice abstinence until you're ready to commit to a lifelong monogamous relationship.

Good times! I made one as a kid and remember thinking there is no way in heck this thing will work. My mind was blown when it worked first time.

Australian here and the sentiment is the same. Drive-through is tolerable but dine-in is not pleasant due to basic cleaning like sweeping, wiping of tables not being done.

Related: "just be yourself" is horrible advice, on its own, to give a young person. It must be accompanied by an understanding that there is a social game to learn to play, and that "being yourself" is not always compatible with playing the game well.
