I'm using snapdrop.net for that. It requires a server, but clients only need to open a webpage, so it's easier after initial setup. I run mine on Synology server.

Too bad it seems to not be mantained anymore

Why build dropbox, you can easily do it yourself just by using (...)

I picked up Svelte to build my first non-trivial app, which is flying navigation aid for hot air balloon pilots[1].

Svelte is much, much easier to grasp than React or Vue, especially when it comes to state management. I like that it’s super lean and it never confuses me what’s native Javascript and what’s the framework (pretty important for a non-developer me). And I love not having to write huge amounts of boilerplate code.

Reactivity sometimes gets more complicated than advertised on docs. For example, I have a bunch of functions where I manipulate an object and need to reassign it to itself (feature = feature) to trigger refresh on reactivity block. Sometimes it’s easy to miss and not know why reactive statements are not being updated.

Also, docs are pretty barebones. For comparison, I think Vue docs are explaining details in better and clearer way.

Unreal Keanu: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FeHzQizPDNg

people in the comments have no idea it's a deepfake. Without knowing beforehand, I wouldn't recognize it too.

Looks completely fake to me. The face moves very unnaturally and doesn't even stick to the body properly. It looks like a super realistic mask (meaning it has many of the same problems a mask has).

Here it is as a non-Short: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeHzQizPDNg

I was about to downvote you until I read your comment after watching the video.

This video leads me to believe that there will soon be a time when popular people will just pick some pre-made advertisements. No need to go and film it since that has already been done without that person. We'll then accept deep fakes as a valid marketing strategy (or whatever purpose may come up), until some protests require them to be watermarked.

It will never be watermarked. Photoshop edits also are not labeled as such.

In Slovakia we've already had a deepfake ad of a well-known news anchor.

The ad starts as a news segment where she says that it turns out the covid vaccines don't work and then pivots to awareness campaign about hoaxes and misinformation.

In fairness, Keanu Reeves, like Kristen Stewart, isn't the hardest person to deepfake…

Is this because both are actors and therefore there is lots of available training data? Or something even more specific to these two people?

I assume the point is that, like Lindsay Lohan [1], they have limited ranges of facial expression.

Keanu Is weaved into the source code of this simulated world.

Really, this is one of the most unconvincing deepfakes I've seen.

I love Keanu, but he’s sort of “easy mode” for a deep fake, isn’t he?

For clarity, is it only the face that’s faked?

Vector map of the whole Earth in PMTiles format is only ~65GB[1] and doesn't need any server or database - it's just a static file which you can host wherever you want.

bdon (author of PMTiles) already commented on this thread. I recommend taking a look at https://protomaps.com/docs - compared to this, raster tile servers sound like ancient technology.

I did different setups over time, but currently settled on forwardemail.net for incoming catch-all custom domain and iCloud+ SMTP servers for sending.

40 people web startup. Currently Metabase as main BI tool, but I'm thinking about introducing a tool like hex.tech. IMO classic BI and dashboarding is inflexible and future lies somewhere else.

Backend is Bigquery + dbt. I highly recommend Bigquery if you are on GSuite and use Sheets. You can create views or tables in bq and have them included in sheets, always up to date. With dbt you can have them tested and be sure data is always correct.

So advertising works? If it didn't, those buying ads would not take the pepsi market share

Man, this is perfect example of why most open source software has no chance to compete with commercial one.

One day I wanted to improve getting started documentation in open source f.lux alternative for linux, because it didn't work for me in Ubuntu without any visible error. I found the solution investigating terminal logs and did a 5 point write up "How to setup on Ubuntu".

Readme pull request got denied because "only one point applies to Ubuntu" (others were applicable to other distributions, too). Somebody even commented few months later that he found my pull request and it helped him make it work on his machine.

This mostly made me stop contributing to other projects.

Are you saying that every big you report against a commercial software gets fixed? I think you can find all kinds of people equally in both open-source software and commercial software makers.
