  • 🔗 Codeberg.org

    Codeberg is founded as a Non-Profit Organization, with the objective to give the Open-Source code that is running our world a safe and friendly home, and to ensure that free code remains free and secure forever.
    I haven't used Codeberg (a GitHub alternative), but their copy on front page strikes me.
    No tracking. Your data is not for sale.
    All services run on servers under our control. No dependencies on external services. No third party cookies, no tracking.
    Hosted in the EU, we welcome the world.
    
    Using external services for every last thing, you end up with your data being spread out amongst multiple (unknown to you) vendors, each with different security-implications / privacy policies / regulations all across the world. It makes your service more brittle (increased points of failure) and less secure (increased attack vectors). Seeing a service make this central to their product is refreshing.
    Focusing on privacy and hosting in non-US owned/operated datacenters in the EU will be a competitive advantage when going up against the US tech companies in the future, if it isn't already.

    Ridiculously Uncomplicated macOS Python Statusbar apps - jaredks/rumps
    I've been thinking about couple ideas for status bar apps that could help me at work. One of the largest barriers for me to actually build them is re-learning Objective-C (I can't believe ImageXY was almost a decade ago ) or learning Swift. Letting me write apps in Python should allow me to quickly prototype some apps and see if my ideas are actually any good.

    Just watched an episode of Japanology Plus that had the artist of Tokyo Storefronts on. I love the style of these storefronts, they really are the treasure of Tokyo.




  • 🔗 SpaceHey.com

    SpaceHey.com — a space for friends. It's a place to have fun, meet friends, and be creative!
    This is a brilliant remake of MySpace. I love how simple the design and how fast it loads. 34kb of Javascript sent over the wire and 33 of that is jQuery. Total page size including images, 350kb. It's the stuff of dreams these days.
    Back in the MySpace hey-day I liked Facebook more than MySpace for its clean and consistent design. But looking back with 20/20 hindsight I can't help but think I was remiss. MySpace was quite a special site in a special period of the web. People that maybe wouldn't ordinarily care about html or css were learning how to code them so they could customize their sites. Anything was possible.
    A lot of whimsy has been removed from the web as people locking themselves into the big social networks. Maybe a site like MySpace/micro.blog is a happy medium between the wild-west/running your own server and total platform lock in.

    Convert an Apple Healthkit export zip to a SQLite database - dogsheep/healthkit-to-sqlite
    healthkit-to-sqlite is super neat. I now have an SQL-queriable db of my heart rate, runs, handwashing, sleep analysis, you name it. Even better - this data is all on device. Now to think of some fun queries...
