I also added a Makefile for mine (LaTeX), and it would add the commit hash to the front page (with an asterisk if the repository had uncommitted changes).

So, if I gave a draft to someone and got feedback, I'd know exactly which revision it was.

It's not ideal, but for a thesis


which ideally has an end date after which it won't be used


it's not a huge problem I'd argue.

Double-sided phone could be pretty neat.

In general, if these programs are offered, and you agree with the mission statement, but you are not in need of them (e.g., you're well off enough/not food insecure)


use them anyway! You're not taking away from those in need, you're showing that this is a real need and should be funded. In addition, you're helping to destigmatize the program; if the kid who gets dropped off in a ratty minivan eats the same food as little Timmy who got dropped off in his parents' 911, that's probably (depending on your worldview...) a good thing.

If you self host, or want to try it out, Immich is amazing. It feels very much like Google Photos, but you can run it completely locally. Great integration with desktop and mobile, both Android, and iOS.

I'm not affiliated at all with the project.

So it's a security camera pointing at your screen, but with AI involved.

Honestly though, this sounds like the kind of thing you could hack together with a shell script and OCR on a *NIX system in an afternoon. Cronjob to take screenshots and run them through OCR, keywords to a database. Add hooks to your window manager to take additional screenshots on relevant events (change desktop, application opens/new window on screen, etc.).

Only additional thing I would do would be to try to ssh into it to. Sounds like that wouldn't have worked anyway. But if you can ssh into it while it's in a degraded-but-not-completely-borked state you can poke around, troubleshoot, and of course cleanly reboot.

Eh, it's common terminology though


my doctor, my hairdresser, my mechanic, my lawyer. Doesn't imply a class structure IMHO.

I was curious, so I looked it up and it seems that around 3KB is the max for a single 177x177 code (though I imagine this is a "soft" limit?). With 600DPI being common for laser printers, a DPI-limited 3KB would be well under 1cm x 1cm. My hunch is that this wouldn't be super reliable (DPI limit not necessarily the resolution of the printer?), but I'd be curious to see what the usable QR density actually is. But yeah...a few QR codes should do the trick!

A perk of belonging to my city's bike advocacy group is that you can rent this for no additional charge:

64″ aluminum truss-frame trailer; easily carry a 4×8 sheet of plywood, eight bags of groceries, or whatever else you can fit on it up to 300 lbs; holds 4 plastic tote boxes before stacking

Nosireebob, can't haul stuff around with that... /s
