    Started using the last digit of my restaurant bill as a checksum, cause I've had the tip amount changed on me too many times now

    Decide your rough desired tip, calculate your tentative total, then add up the digits before the decimal point and use that as the number of cents
    Aaron Parecki
    Total pre-tip bill: $15.90
    Rough tip: $3.00
    Pre-checksum total: $18.90
    1+8 = 9
    Final total: $18.99

    Now if someone changes the tip to $4 or $5, the checksum fails.

    #3 How to get correct version for composer?

    Aaron Parecki

    I'm confused about the exact problem you're having.

    If Compass' composer.lock is referencing 0.1.1, try running composer update p3k/quartz-db to get it to update that version, or change your composer.json to reference >=1.1.4.

    It sounds like that's the root of the problem, as that fix was in version 1.1.3.

    #4 Does QuartzDB respect date_default_timezone_set?

    Aaron Parecki

    QuartzDB explicitly stores everything in UTC, in order to have control over the date-based sharding and retrieval. If you're reading the files directly you'll need to account for this. The API it provides will take timezones into account, so for example you can use the query method and pass in a local timestamp that includes a timezone offset and you'll get back the right results. I strongly recommend not reading the storage files directly and instead using the API that QuartzDB provides.

    So:

    1. Do some clustering on my `following` collection.

    2. Make lists for each cluster. I can then label them manually ("High school", "Breather").

    3. Make a list for "used to follow" just in case.

    3. Unfollow any account that doesn't follow me back.
    Aaron Parecki
    That's basically what I use "channels" in my "social reader" for. I do feel like it's about time to implement a more formal workflow for it now that it's been working well as is. https://aaronparecki.com/2018/04/20/46/indieweb-reader-my-new-home-on-the-internet
