what's exciting about this is that it's got an FPGA with micro-HDMI and usb-c so you should be able to use it as an e-paper monitor out of the box

downloaded this, enjoying it so far. thanks!

"inexpensive". I love that. Like we're all searching for rubik's cube solver robots for our loved ones for christmas but they're all just too damn pricey!

I tried to use this and it showed me an apache2 landing page instead of my app website, which led me to realise my app site had been down for at least a day because apache had actually crashed due to nginx using port 80 (I don't even use nginx so not sure what the heck happened)

Anyway, not the success story I'd hoped to post here, but it definitely solved at least one problem I didn't know I had.

I'm now going to add uptime monitoring

One practical way you could attempt to do this would be to massively tax airline tickets, ideally by distance flown, and then allow people to claim 4 untaxed tickets.

You could also maybe allow people to sell their tickets if they never intend to use them, which would create a new financial incentive for people to never get on a plane.

> real paper made from trees is still considered crucial to countless businesses and government systems globally, despite the environmental impact of producing it. For decades, computers, smartphones and tablets have provided an alternative.

Is the impact of printing a paper navigational chart really higher than replacing that chart with an electronic device?

nice pun

yep you're right, I was wrong, it only goes back to late 90s

Growing up, myself and my siblings built sets when we first got them as gifts, but after that they went in the pile. We would build whatever was in our imagination, from the multicolored heap.

Now I have my own kids, and they all want to build sets from instructions. The odd time we'll dive into the pile of orphaned bits and build a house or a boat or something, but mostly they want to recreate what they remember. My wife spends hours finding all the pieces of a set and bagging them up for the kids to build later (so she's gonna love this)

It's tempting to say "kids nowadays" but I think it's just different personality types. In other media, my kids are far more creative and imaginative than I ever was, but with Lego sets they prefer to recreate the perfect image than make a hodge podge thing that never existed.

I absolutely love Achill, it's stunning out there. I would love to live out there, if I knew I had reliable internet so I could work.

However, the €80k the government grant for doing up a derelict house is not going to very far. Ireland has always been one of the most expensive places in Europe, and the cost of living has steadily increased in the last 12 months.

In particular, building, renovating or extending homes has become prohibitively expensive because of a combination of labor shortage, rising materials costs and price gouging.

So like $400

Very nice! I'm also this guy

I haven't added any external services to mine yet. Interesting to see the things we have in common / difference though. I love the diff! How do you do the git-like history? I can't see any history when I try it out.

Also, a word of warning: as a developer-turned-writer, developing your own writing app is probably the single biggest distraction you can create, the greatest form of procrastination. Every time I sit down to write, using my own app, I find things I want to add, or change, or fix, and even when I resist the urge to work on them, I'm still _thinking_ about them when trying to write. I started my writing app journey in 2012, and my writing productivity has suffered ever since. Don't get me wrong - its a very satisfying hobby, but I dont write nearly as much as I could have done if I wasn't bug fixing in my spare time
