Re: Your question. Taildrop only works between devices in the same account. So if you don't put low trust devices in the same account as your NAS this is mitigated.

I really tried to get it on my own, but please, what is the connection between the Seinfeld Episode "The Pez Dispenser" and the "Casting Couch Culture of GitHub"?

A similar project that also tracks cell towers and bluetooth beacons in addition to WiFi is https://beacondb.net . Since Mozilla Location Services shut down they have been a good alternative for geolocation and they are public domain. Unfortunately, data dumps are currently not available, though.

Seeing Kris Nóva in that list hit hard. It is a beautiful idea, thank you Xe.

At the company I work at we manage a lot of historical data with Timescale, but we have also had good results with vanilla PostgreSQL for smaller time-series-data-sets. If you are already comfortable with Postgres this might be worth a look.

While that is true, there are still lots of PyPI packages not yet packaged with nixpkgs, so this is not as universal an approach as uv.

It can imply isolation, but not necessarily. It is also possible that there are some precursor languages, of which no evidence could be found (yet). Another good example are the Koreanic languages of which modern Korean is a member.

The Ket language of central Siberia has long been believed to be isolate, but was later classified as a member of the Dene–Yeniseian language family (or at least proposed, afaik this research is still ongoing).

Really looking forward to see more non-destructive editing. For me this has been one of the major reasons not to use GIMP in the past. The integration of GEGL is a huge milestone for GIMP imho.

I feel the same. I have "only" about 15 years worth of mail in Thunderbird but I am getting increasingly tired of working with the GUI, at least for reading and searching historical mail.

One of these days I will convert my mbox mail to Maildir and try out notmuch.
