Very well done. The animation of plate movements give me a real sense of vertigo! Earth is old. o__O

For me at least, it would feel more intuitive to have the distant past on the left and the current date on the right. I'd also love an option to keep the current location centered while manually dragging the slider.

EDIT: Also, could optionally overlay lat/lon lines to help anchor the globe as it rotates? It's hard to understand the plate movements relative to the Earth.

I got a cracked copy of 3ds Max at a LAN party (back when it was "Discreet 3dsmax"), and immediately dragged dozens of cubes, spheres, and cones into the scene.

Then I closed it for a year. Opened it up again one day, followed a box-modeling tutorial (from the documentation PDF linked in the Help menu!), and I was hooked. Spline modeling, rigging, walk cycles, texturing, lighting experiments, every spare minute for the rest of high school.

I still remember the whole-body panic of accidentally turning on "adaptive degradation", which replaced all meshes with their bounding cubes when rotating the viewport camera, and thinking I had broken my video card.

Fair point! It doesn't bother me, but I can see how it would make some customers nervous.

Would you mind explaining the t-shirt criticism? I got one, it's nice, I'm literally wearing it right now, and I have trouble understanding the "distraction" critique. Seems like a nice way to let their (unusually devoted) users broadcast their enthusiasm.

I totally agree. I made the mistake of exporting .zip archives the first time, which have a 2 GB size limit. At least the .tar option raises that to 50 GB.

Porte doesn't require a specific directory structure - it just expects a big pile of images, videos, and .json files, so you can download and extract all archives to a single directory and then point to it.

Hi all. I built Porte after exporting my Google Photos archive using Takeout, only to find a jumbled mess of missing EXIF data and .json files with metadata.

There are a few tools out there that try to handle this, but I wasn't able to find any that correctly handled both dates and GPS data, and preserved all other existing EXIF tags.

Porte has worked really well for me, and it was really enjoyable to write. And it made me love Go even more.

How are you using Syncthing on iOS?

I want to be able to access the same content from my laptop, phone, and tablet. I used Obsidian for a while with a convoluted setup (a Git repo with an iOS shortcut that fetched when the Obsidian app was launched), but it proved too slow and error-prone to continue using.

I want the whole stack to be open source, which is why I’m not using Obsidian Sync or an iOS Syncthing client. So while I don’t technically need web client, I don’t know of any other solution that would work for me.

The ideal “knowledge base” app I’ve been searching for is as follows:

  - Self-hosted
  - Attractive web client that loads very quickly and works well on mobile
  - Can point it at a nested directory of text/markdown and image/pdf files (no sql database)
  - Text files are editable in place (no “edit” button, etc.)
  - Markdown displays in a plain-text view (no hidden formatting characters, no “rich text” editor)

Every app I’ve tried misses at least of these. The closest I’ve found, strangely, is vscode-server, which is just too bloated and mobile-unfriendly to work for me. I’m perpetually a millimeter away from writing my own, but I feel like I need to stop doing that.

Does this app exist?

Nice to see this here. I’ve using a tablet for cursor movement since around 2010, and I find it amazing except for one small issue I’ve never been able to solve: tapping with the pen in order to click is finicky, because if I even drag a few pixels during the tap, it turns into a drag gesture.

Right now I’m using a Huion tablet, which does not appear to allow customizing the drag-to-disable-click distance. Is there any Mac utility that would work for this?
