An impeachment conviction can have the punishment of being ineligible from seeking office again.

Do it, new Congress.

Thank you to the majority of Georgian voters for accelerating the death of the Republican party.

@markosaric I like how Firefox has the gift icon and Trello has Taco the dog. When the icons show up, you know there is an update. The icons disappear after viewing.

I regret to inform you of the death of my sourdough starter and my general desire to bake sourdough bread. I will just buy that shit.

Whatever happened to the idiosyncratic industrial design for personal electronics from the 2000s?

They might not have been the most usable devices, but man, they were glorious.

Mila is one of the best products I have backed on Kickstarter.

It is a quiet, smart, and affordable air purifier and air quality monitor. It outperforms systems more than twice its price and looks beautiful. I highly recommend it.

Copyright should be reduced to 20 years. No one should get to hold culture hostage beyond a single generation.

I recommend watching “The Year: 2020” from ABC News and “Death to 2020” from Netflix back-to-back.

2020 was not the year I wanted, but it was a legit good year if I do not think about my disappointment from it being different than I anticipated.

Bad things happened. Good things happened. There was good and bad stress.

I am just grateful to still be here feeling it all.

This past year, I read “The Daily Stoic” by Ryan Holiday. I started and ended each day with a stoic meditation. I found it helpful. I also recommend his book “The Obstacle Is The Way”.

2017 was the first year I remember many people saying was the worst ever. Repeat for 2018, 2019, 2020.

I’m sorry if your year has been difficult.

Cognitive behavioral therapy and stoicism have been helpful to me. There is much we cannot control, but we can control our response.

I appreciate, but...

I use Hetzner for some personal stuff, but it is no comparison to the extensive managed offerings (databases, queues, pub-sub, API gateway, etc) of AWS et al. It is not a viable alternative for online app businesses.

Bitmitigate sadly does not have the edge computing products of Cloudflare.

Someone needs to make the Quirky Pivot Power for Europe (Europlug/Schuko).

All the surge protector strips I have purchased never enough space between the plugs and unavoidable wall warts.

@theprivacyfoundation As much as I would like there to be, there are no truly competitive alternatives to AWS, Azure, GCP, Cloudflare. eucloud.tech/

I don’t want to make this an Electron app because it’s mobile focused and my primary motivation of using the Web platform is to avoid Apple’s and Google’s app stores.

Do we need a Web standard for writing to local storage and/or cloud storage?

If I’m building a Web app and all user data stays local (IndexedDB), how do I ensure durability for the user?

eg they don’t lose work when they clear their cookies etc

Is there an easy way for a Web app to write to the cloud storage of user’s choice—Dropbox, iCloud, GDrive?

Recorded the first 4 interviews today. Thrilled! So far, 19 interviews are scheduled.

I think I might need a story editor to help with this. Also thinking of changing the format to a 3–5 part podcast miniseries instead of a single hour piece.

I just started investing in solar projects with Trine. It’s like Kiva, but with interest and only clean energy businesses.
