I did not yet watch the full video, but Data Slayer on Youtube made a video about this, I guess. It's at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vbl5FL-nsI

The Data Slayer channel on Youtube made an interesting video about this recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vbl5FL-nsI

With RSS I already do feeds my way.


Indeed,

Thats part of the premise, we don't need to invent new technologies when email/rss are already self curated / federated.

The missing piece is discovery.

Which is why in addition to allowing you to aggregate internal/external feeds into one place, each instance also shares each external feed its users have subscribed too, and each user can share who they read (like a blog roll).


> Eg: is there a clean way to dual license such that hobbyist, and exploratory work (eg: a proof of concept done in a commercial setting) are allowed, but using it in production requires a fee?

Yes, it's called language. Contracts are nothing but text, so why don't you just write down what you think should be the rules around using your software by other people?

I get the urge of a lot of developers to pick an existing third party license from the shelf, but just as you can write your own code - and are not required to use ready-made libraries/frameworks - you can write your own open source license for your software.


Mt. Scenery... never heard of it as a Dutchy. I found out that's in the Caribbean.

You just asked your AI God of choice about this, perhaps?


It is correct though, since 2010 Saba is a "speciale gemeente" of the Netherlands, and its mountain is thus our highest point. Before that it was organised as a separate country "Nederlandse Antillen" with the other Caribbean islands.


NotJustBikes made a video about the highest point 'in the Netherlands', that's where I heard of it.


The Netherlands highest point is in the Caribbean though

I'm a little confused. You mean for getting your own location, I guess?


Yes. Default location on your linux computer will use geoclue2, which will give you a location based on your IP address. My location is about 30 miles away since my IP is associated with Google Fiber.

Using a cheap USB GPS receiver you can get to meters level resolution, could use it mobile as a navigation device, and NTP timing too if you want.


Thanks, I get it now. I was thinking you used it for geolocating webvisitors or something, already wondered how you'd do that with your own GPS receiver.


There's also no reason for body text spanning the whole width of my 24 inch display.


Wow, nice prompting!


Thanks for RSS, sir.


Indeed! I have a selfbuilt RSS reader and interesting blogs without a feed are just saved as a bookmark basically.

I care more about the stories (people call it 'content' nowadays) than about the tech, as long as the tech is open.
