Yeah, I don't see a problem here. Due process, slippery slope sure... but this was a cut and dry case. I've got better things to do with my time than be concerned with this.

I understand the logic you're using when you say you're happy that the standards are high. What you don't understand is how many A&Ps pencil whip annuals, or overlook corrosion or other safety issues all the time. They are overworked, and spend their time focused on a lot of box checking things that do not matter much and not enough time focusing on the things that do.

Let me make it clearer. If you used the same standards for your car, you'd have to get it fully reinspected every year and fix everything. A little corrosion on your hubcaps? Replace all of them (at 20x the cost you're used to). A chip in your windshield (replace the entire windshield at 10x the cost). Etc etc.

Source: I am studying for the A&P and I own a Cessna 182. The regs really do need to change for smaller certificated aircraft (such as changing annuals to semi-annuals). Look up Mike Busch and his videos on what reforms should look like.

I just had my plane in for an annual. No significant issues. Took 5 months. My plane was in the shop for 5 months. Remember, this is required ANNUALLY. That's how bad the shortage is right now. It's bad enough that I'm willing to take 6 months off work to go __become__ an A&P so I don't need to deal with them anymore.

I'm also hoping to put together a standards body that can formalize plain-text accounting standards too so others can more easily implement their own systems that conform to the standard.

Either way, until the industry lets me pay directly to the org that literally made the movie, I'll just pirate.

I do want to pay the artists that make the films. I think the most viable way to do this is via cryptocurrency associated with social media accounts, and then validate ownership by having owners post a magic validation link. This way I can send artists money and it's on them to go get it if they want it.

I like Proton. I use Proton.

However, the problem with proton is that if you access your email via a web browser, there's nothing stopping protonmail (to my knowledge) from reading your email from within their webapp via JS. This type of attack could be targeted at the behest of authorities.

So, actually, Proton COULD read your email (IFF you use webmail).

https://github.com/rustledger/rustfava This is a fork of Fava, the web UI that Beancount users know and love, but with the Python parser swapped out for rustledger running as WebAssembly. I packaged it up as a native desktop app using Tauri, so you just double-click to open your ledger files with no terminal or Python needed. It also works via Docker, PyPI, and Nix if that's more your thing.

https://github.com/rustledger/pta-standards I started this project to create proper formal specifications for plain text accounting formats, covering Beancount, Ledger, and hledger. It includes EBNF/ABNF grammars, JSON Schema and Protobuf AST definitions, tree-sitter grammars, Alloy models for invariants, and conformance test suites. The idea is to make it possible for anyone to build a correct, interoperable PTA implementation without reverse-engineering existing tools.

https://github.com/robcohen/peervault This is an Obsidian plugin that lets you sync your vaults directly between your devices over P2P connections, no central server involved. Has S3 fallback if you want. It uses Loro CRDTs so concurrent edits merge cleanly, and Iroh compiled to WASM handles the networking with NAT traversal and end-to-end encryption. Until iroh-docs or iroh-willow comes out with WASM support, this seems to be the best solution for obsidian syncing.

If you're a real person, then yes, it is valuable to show you things.

Want to know how I'm right? Because fingerprinting browsers and tracking people is how we establish that they are real in the current advertising world. Advertisers pay for that. Thus it has value.

Taiwan — 12-13% vegetarian — 174 cm avg male height

Mexico — 10-19% vegetarian — 170 cm avg male height

Italy — ~10% vegetarian — 174 cm avg male height

Brazil — 8-14% vegetarian — 176 cm avg male height

UK — ~7% vegetarian — 178 cm avg male height

Australia — 5-6% vegetarian — 179 cm avg male height

Switzerland — 5-9% vegetarian — 179 cm avg male height

Austria — 5-9% vegetarian — 179 cm avg male height

Germany — 4-8% vegetarian — 180 cm avg male height

I mean, if you think height doesn't matter for men, I think you may want to think about it.
