Google Drive has a macOS app like Dropbox. I’ve also found direct web uploads slow.

Very cool project. I was really struck by this comment:

> Dial out to a short list of family contacts. It's not something I think about much, but when I was a kid there was a phone on the wall and once I could reach it, I could use it. Now, if you're not old enough to have a cell phone, you also can't call anyone at all.

That's not something I've ever thought about, but is a really huge change in what kids can do. I was always allowed to call over to a friend's house and see if they could play.

Have you seen Sequel Ace? It’s a fork of the project that’s maintained again. https://github.com/Sequel-Ace/Sequel-Ace

I also use Postico for Postgres https://eggerapps.at/postico/ the UI there is nice as well. It’s the closest I could find to Sequel Pro.

They're changing the lights all over the city. You can see the stars again. I can see way more stars now than 5 years ago.

Do you mind sharing what you moved to? I’m curious about the hardware you chose and the build quality.
