I run an instance of FreshRSS [0] and access it from a browser, but I also use NetNewsWire [1] as a client on platforms where it is available.

[0] https://freshrss.org/

[1] https://netnewswire.com/


I use FreshRSS as well and I use it exclusively from Android (Firefox Browser). Works surprisingly well even if it looks a bit dated.


I'd love recommendations for a good Android client. Right now I just have the site installed as a web app. It works, but I have a foldable phone and the site displays a little weird when unfolded in landscape.


FocusReader works well, the free version has some ads.


gReader Pro is pretty good on Android, doesn't get in the way too much.


I’m run an instance as well. I use Lire as client for iOS.


Lire is hands down the best reader on iOS, and a one-time purchase too. I really love it.


I use Flask a lot too. I generally just add keyword arguments to url_for() to automatically add querystrings to URLs.


The fact that this is not a manual reimplementation, but a "transpilation" of the psql source from C to JavaScript, makes this super interesting to me.

    From the Postgres master branch (17devel), we take exec_command_d, exec_command_list and exec_command_sf_sv from command.c, and all of describe.c and sql_help.c, from src/bin/psql.
    We use plenty of RegExp search-and-replace to turn this C code into valid JS syntax.
    We implement some C library functions, such as strlen and strchr, and some Postgres support functions, such as printTable and printQuery, in JavaScript.

When I started my programming journey I thought I could just "translate" Pascal to C++ just with search/replace and minor adjustments. Turns out sometimes it's the best approach :)


In my mind, "move in a straight line due east" can be interpreted as "for as long as you are moving, your movement should be due east". In that case, your latitude will never change. In the northern hemisphere, you will constantly be making a leftward adjustment to maintain a due east heading.


+1 That was my understanding reading the title.


I’ve been an admin at https://rainwave.cc for about 15 years now. One of the unique (I think) features we have allows listeners to influence what plays next on the radio.

While the current song is playing, we run a three-candidate election to choose the next song. We usually include a listener request as one of the three candidates in the election.

We’re a friendly community, in my obviously biased opinion. Feel free to hang out with us on Discord; the link is on the Rainwave homepage.


Been listening to rainwave for over three years now, gamification aspect with voting is very fitting for a video game music streaming website.


I do not recall any other demoscene/vgm station on the list with voting capability. Yours is the only one. Thanks for the invite.


If I am not mistaken nectarine have been doing it for year?


I'm not sure anymore, but I remember back when I was in middle school, Radio Hyrule was entirely music selected by listeners in a queue, moving random only when it was empty. I believe there were queue limits on users though


The following still works, though the home page has no functionality. I will add this later. Thanks. Radio Hyrule - Zelda music 24/7! http://RadioHyrule.com https://RadioHyrule.com:8443/listen.m3u https://RadioHyrule.com:8443/listen (192 kbps MP3) https://radiohyrule.com:8443/listen-lo.m3u https://radiohyrule.com:8443/listen-lo (64 kbps MP3)


https://www.radio-browser.info/ has those streams listed (and this database feeds into radiodroid if you want a way to stream it on a phone using opensource parts)

EDIT: Misread the parent comment, radiohyrule (rainwave is) isn't on there but submissions are open if you'd like to add it.


Thanks. I'll check it out. Didn't even know there were radio stations for game music.


I love rainwave, it's a excellent site for gaming music.


cvgm.net lets any listener queue up to 5-6 tracks. nectarine is 1-3 iirc, but I didn't hang out there much.


I'd like to plug my own favorite here: https://queup.net (former dubtrack.fm) let's you create your own playlists from YouTube and soundcloud, then you can make your own channel, people can join and you take turns playing what you put in your music queue.


If you give your thumb an absolute value of 5 (or 50, depending on the hand) you can finger count in base 10 all the way to 99!



As a kid I always wondered where the name “Maxwell’s Maniac” came from.

This is a (fantastic!) project by Simon Willison, co-creator of the Django framework and creator of Datasette.

If you are wondering why the collection is so small, it would appear from the commit history that Simon only adds museums that he has visited himself.

https://github.com/simonw/museums/commits/main


Oh, I hope he comes to Pueblo, CO sometime and checks out the niche museum I volunteer at. We have basically 3 people running it, including Nell Mitchell, who made it all possible: https://coloradostatehospitalmuseum.org/

It's a museum that documents the history of the Colorado State Hospital (Colorado Insane Asylum, when it opened in 1879). I bought a house near it and just walked in one day. Now I'm there two days a week and spend a lot of time doing research for people trying to find out about their relatives that may have been patients.


That looks fantastic! I've added it to my Google Map of museums to visit (1200 and counting).


Thanks! We also open for appointment, in case you can't make our regular hours (Tues and Sat 10-4)! Just let us know and you can come in whenever!


Honest question: if I want to apply IaC to my views, is there a better tool than dbt to take care of that for me? I have never used dbt before, only read about it.
