The QR code that you use to transfer TOTP secrets to a new phone, is static. It never changes (unless you add a new service) and it requires no verification.

Do with that information what you will.


If you can have a copy or deployment of your TOTP code accessible (or memorized) at any time then you've solved the same problem already!


This could also be a legitimate lifesaver in places like India where extreme heat is common but delivery and gig workers have to travel outdoors.


If Jujutsu had become popular a couple of years earlier, it might have had a chance to catch on. I worry that it missed the most critical training window for AI and we may be locked in on Git forever.


This is not true at all, a year ago it was difficult to force models to use jj consistently, but nowadays, (codex+chatgpt, at the very least) models very nicely obey jj workflows when guided in AGENTS.md . They have been training models to use it.

Edit: my original comment was related to how git worktrees are by default used in the implementation of these agent orchestration tools. I would rather prefer jj workspaces.


your current wallet lets you add labels or stickers to your cards.

classic Apple situation - look, this is super clean, intuitive software! but if you want a reasonable level of flexibility that you would expect elsewhere, you are SOL.


In what cases do you need autoscaling on your home stuff?


I have limited ram and want scale to zero for apps that use a lot of ram, but I only use one of at a time like game servers, or things that can be done over night while I sleep like media encoding.

The main reason I went to k8s, is for the not having to think about what machine will have enough resources to run an app, just throw it at the cluster and it figures out where there's capacity. And, I want hardware failing/getting replaced to be a non issue.

edit: I wanted to add that my hobby is not systems admin, I want it to be as hands off as possible. Self-hosting is a means to an end. I have so far saved over $200/month in subscriptions by replacing subscriptions I was using with self-hosted alternatives. I can now use that money on my actual hobbies.


nice concept! Beads did not age all that well, and Claude doesn't really want to use it since the TodoList upgrade.

Do you have any tricks for getting Claude to use guardrails effectively alongside (or instead of) TodoList?


It works hand in hand to be honest, because Claude will read tickets that match criteria of what I'm looking to work on, and tack them on to its todo list, it just becomes and overview of my tasks.


Great, now do storage!

People shouldn't have to pay $$$ for a 128GB upgrade when a 1TB microSDXC card is under $200. It feels like a trick to sell cloud storage and new phones.


Any day that I learn something new about color is a good day.

Here's my favorite color factoid: There is no such thing as monochromatic pink. You have to make it by combining the two ends of the visible spectrum: somethung reddish and something violet-ish. So that means there is no pink in a rainbow, strictly speaking.


This is conflating two kinds of pink. The pink made from combining ends of the spectrum is most commonly termed ‘hot pink.’

The other, very often just ‘pink,’ is predominantly a light red. A quick and sloppy way to describe this is a light grey with a raised red component.

Also, you can make hot pink without needing to use spectral violet (the ‘end’ of the spectrum) since there are combinations of blue and red that are ‘metameric,’ creating a perceptually matching response in our eyes.


The other, very often just ‘pink,’ is predominantly a light red. A quick and sloppy way to describe this is a light grey with a raised red component.

While that’s true, it’s also still not monochromatic in the electromagnetic sense.


Absolutely, I had that in my draft but chopped it out along with a digression into black body radiation.


When I was young I was taught that pink is a light shade of red. But what kids these days call pink seems to me to be a bright magenta.


The word "pink" is derived from a name this flower had about 600 years ago:

So however you see that flower, that's the literal pink prototype.


And the flower is named for its "cutmarks" on its petal edges, which resemble pinking on cut fabric.


Thank you.



Happy to contribute to your lawyer fund. I want to see how this plays out.
