@aaronpk is that a chain store that might have a Montreal location? I’d love to grab some more ABA books, but shipping to Canada is super expensive.

Not sure, it was called "Swipe Books on Advertising and Design" which sounds pretty small!

So our Sonos locked us out this morning until we let it update its firmware. This is a dark UI pattern which strongly suggests they are holding the system hostage until I agree to let them remove features or add anti-features like sharing what we listen to or surveiling our home network. Anybody know of an alternative, free/open source Sonos firmware?

ugh I hate when apps and devices do this. There should always be a "later" option.

Hey @altitudetech, I backed your Sensly Kickstarter campaign way back in 2015 but you never shipped me my Sensely HAT. I see you have them in stock on your website, how about sending me one? Or refunding my pledge?

ugh that's the worst. That happened to me with that smart thermos thing. They're sold at the apple store now to rub it in.

"Code monocultures." Pay attention to that phrase, people. Very important.

Seagates?

@ricfink A mix of Seagate and WD, but it’s the Synology that’s failed twice. The third Synology has been fine so far tho!

I recently had to RMA my device twice because the controller kept failing. The drives were all fine each time tho.

At this point I'm thinking a couple USB 4TB drives that rsync to another set that sync to Backblaze is a better option. Fewer moving parts.

@mattb I have a 5x4TB RAID6 (2 redundant) but IME the hardware around the drives fails more often than the drives themselves.

initially I'm thinking 3x3TB at RAID 5 but I know nothing.

I don’t want to ruin the surprise, but this is just a flipbook of the “this is the part where we throw our heads back and laugh” gif.

@toomuchpete it's not that bad I promise 😂

I've done conversions for .epub/.mobi before and have some infrastructure for it. Let me know if you want/need help.

Thanks! I actually just finished the technical side of it this morning. Turns out it was more about doing things like writing conditional text for things like "the figure above" instead of "figure 1.4" since the figure numbering happened in the HTML->PDF toolchain step. I think I have a finished epub and mobi file now, so I just have to figure out the distribution step through Lulu.com now. (It's also made slightly complicated by the rev share agreement, so I can't just go wild with distribution or direct online sales of it.)

You can IndieAuth into Stack Overflow now? 😮

@keithjgrant indieauth.com is one of the only remaining OpenID providers, and Stack Overflow still accepts OpenID logins

@aaronpk Sounds like I should be able to try on the PI just curious,. I use the Trails app to record walks at the moment and play with leaflet.js to display with photos. So I'f be interested in varying the rate of recording. Most of my weekday would be very boring. Home->Work->Home

ah cool so you're mostly interested in the trip tracking aspect of it? Not so much the passive continuous aspect? I bet I could put together a mini app that publishes a feed like this: https://aaronparecki.com/transport
